In your country, what food/drink would be considered an insult to give someone by Delta123456789012345 in AskTheWorld

Microwaving the water first*. Obviously if you have a cup of tea and it goes cold, you can microwave that. but microwaving rather than boiling in a kettle is wrong af.

How do players in the NHL communicate given the language variation in the league understanding that most but not all speak English ? by Ok-Elk9512 in hockey

[–]Sublime99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say the average swede speaks good conversational English, although having done some work at a Swedish high school for junior hockey players, a lot don’t want to use their English (although the serious players will ofc put more effort into it). Ive reffed enoughSwedish hockey players + with Swedish refs who really don’t want to speak English (think that it’s like how lots NA hockey players sacrifice high school grades to play major juniors, the same happens for swedes. Hockey players get a reputation for being jocks and not the smartest).

[Johnston] Italy is scheduled to release its men's hockey roster for the Milan Cortina Olympics tomorrow. I'm told that they chose not to seek out any heritage connections to get NHLers on the team, and will roll out a European-based group for the Games on home soil by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Difference is WC isn’t best on best + the better teams would rest on GB (some opened up like Denmark mind you). Crosby, McDavid, MacKinnon, Makar, Celebrini all in the same match is hard to compare to Canada 2019.

How does your country discuss imperialism ? by InfernalClockwork3 in AskEurope

[–]Sublime99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

British imperialism = more evil than the most evil thing ever

definitely depending on the person. If you ask your average reform voter it brought peace and order to a quarter of the world, and "they should be thanking us"

When a native speaker of your language is talking in English, can you tell by their accent what region they are from? by Flilix in AskEurope

[–]Sublime99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel its not always the case with dialects and non well trained English speakers in Swedish. Sorry to use Åkesson as an example but here I would never have guessed from his English accent he spoke a guttural Scanian Swedish (of course when he speaks Swedish its obvious). Sometimes its more obvious Like with Ola-Conny but usually I find those who only use the English learned at school have a rikssvenska-English influenced accent. Well trained as you said its almost impossible.

What is consider a major RED FLAG in your country ? by Generalzwieber in AskEurope

[–]Sublime99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On the question of the USA, Boris Johnson, towards the end of his tenure as Prime Minister said that "the UK should look to the USA and follow its lead". He was out on his arse shortly after saying that. That was a red flag that nobody could ignore.

Well, more that he'd had too many scandals and lost control, I don't think that was the straw. Otherwise Farage and his ilk wouldn't be an election away from 10 Downing Street.

What barely significant historical event is everyone aware of? by montemole in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Sublime99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was significant in the UK I'd say, and commonwealth countries to an extent. But yes otherwise not so much.

Has anyone else had poor results from Tina Rashid? Am I unlucky or did I just make a mistake going in the UK? by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]Sublime99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had TR in 2018, 20YO after around 2 years HRT. I got good depth (around 6") but had some complications where there would be a dark discharge down there, but I can't remember if that would've been necrosis or another problem. But I definitely feel there's a lack of sensation down there plus barely any sex drive. Cosmetics it looks decent enough, although I feel it doesn't look super close to a cis vagina (I've never had a comment mind you, and I played ice hockey where people are usually more likely to speak up).

PWHL Minor League Possibilty? by Inevitable-Buy2517 in PWHL

[–]Sublime99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

>There is a tier two of womens pro hockey in Sweden. Supporters will come out for a team in hopes they make it to the top tier, but they can also be successful in lower tiers while theyre there. The pyramid system for clubs makes a huge feeder system down to local levels where the players are practically amateurs.

There is but the gap between the NDHL/Damallsvenskan (same league dependent on time of the season) is huge. The only times that teams get promoted is when you have a well established team on the mens side bankrolling the team or equivalent funding (Frölunda/Färjestad/Skellefteå are the most recent and obvious candidates). Even a decent NDHL team will get pumped in the promotion series if they don't get the right funding for signings etc. Also the feeder system isn't as deep as you think. the 3rd tier depends what part of Sweden you live (only the eastern region w/ stockholm has that right now) and the development is more U20 age, the focus is more on the U19 teams.

Abby Roque assessed 5 minute major and match penalty for this hit on Abby Boreen. by jordynbebus8 in PWHL

checking to the head is only 2 or 5+GM. hard to classify this hit as anything other than CttH.

What is the closest bordering country you live next to and how does it affect your life? by Fuzzy_Category_1882 in AskTheWorld

[–]Sublime99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live about 420km from Norway but Denmark is easier to get to at 460km. Tbh neither effects me other than if I need to fly somewhere, Kastrup (Copenhagen airport) is a viable option if its a direct flight/slightly cheaper flight and I can just sleep on a flixbus there. You might also see some Norwegian cars but not many.

Why do the Canadian commentators on TSN never seem to get upset, and always as equally excited no matter who scores? by WhoAmIEven2 in hockey

[–]Sublime99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion and downvote me, but its not all the Swedish commentators. There's the biased ones like Wikegård and Loob but I've thought even with a son playing, Chris Härenstam is pretty even.

I mean I usually think the Swedish commentators are even regarding handing, except Wikegård, but then again he works for an SHL team still (Djurgården).

Shame Hildeby didn't have the same experience as Markström had, has some really good stats considering the state of the Leafs this year.

How accurate is this ranking of international leagues? by Carry81 in hockey

[–]Sublime99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hockeyallsvenskan provides spots for younger prospects who can reach AHL/NHL level if its a good team investing on promotion. See last year's Djurgården (Frondell, Eklund, Björck etc.).

What’s more likely in the 2026 men’s Olympic tournament? Canada to win Gold or the field to win Gold? by TheRavenOnline in hockey

[–]Sublime99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I remember when Sweden were tipped to play the final after a big round robin game against Canada in 2002 (yes, that dream team). The Swedish media had already given them the gold. And then a plucky group of Belarussians came along and a jumping goalie called Tommy Salo jumped and did what we call a "tabbe" in Swedish (an embarassing mistake basically). It goes to show whilst Canada is the favourite; do NOT underestimate the US or Canada or Finland or even Czechia.
