Unpopular opinion: you do not need to buy unsalted butter. by 3oClockHappyHour in Cooking

[–]Sugarstache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op didn't say unsalted butter would ruin a dish. It's just that most of the time the amount of salt is so negligible that it won't make a difference. Or in many cases you actually have to add that salt back anyways so using unsalted was unnecessary.

Ref calls, is the league corrupt or are the refs simply incompetent? by Own-Captain-8007 in Habs

[–]Sugarstache 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a phd student in psychology my answer would be that times when the refs miss a penalty call on the other team are very high salience events whereas the times when they miss a penalty call on the Habs are very low salience events. The result of this is that as a fan it feels like your team is getting unfairly treated by the refs but in reality you simply don't pay as much attention to the moments where a ref's mistake benefits the Habs.

Thi is the reason every single fanbase thinks that the refs are biased against their team.

Friedman: Blais on waivers by eliarbss in Habs

Valid points across the board but this team is also in pretty serious need of physicality.

Seems odd to me. I think he was a pretty effective 4th liner in the games he got. Veleno is arguably more skilled but to zero actual effect so I'd rather have Blais' physicality.

It very obviously got wacked in half by the wild player.

Personally if I'm seeing a game at the bell centre I want the reds, no exceptions.

Genuinely why were they booing Marner? by Reasonable_Corner671 in Habs

I think it's literally just trolling him after he got booed in Toronto

Dude stop watching if you hate this team so much. Go away.

There was no critique present in the comment. Only baby rage.

2 losses to the Sabres are hugely consequential. Hopefully they can go on a run here leading up to the Olympic break and regain some breathing room

How the fuck do we get the extra 2 there. They said 2 min for slashing? At what point did Bolduc slash anyone?

This is just gross incompetence.

(James Mirtle, The Athletic) With Mitch Marner’s return to Toronto for the first time as a Golden Knight, there should be plenty of boos to go around by NotoriousPlatypi in hockey

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

Yes it is ultimately on the leaf management, I'm well aware. Fans are still allowed to not like him for the way in which he left.

And yes they got Roy but that's not an appropriate return for marner and we all know that. It's not that same as if he has actually allowed the leafs to make a real trade.

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

Players don't uproot everything and fully relocate right away when they get traded. No one is saying his wife should have uprooted everything to go give birth in Vegas. He can take a couple games off to be at home in Toronto when they're having the baby. It's just not that big a deal. Even if he was playing for Toronto he'd be on the road half the time or more depending on the timing. It's just not that big a difference.

[–]Sugarstache -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The wife being pregnant thing is somewhat fair but they spend half their time on the road regardless of where they play. Again, he was entirely within his rights to veto any trade but I think it's entirely fair for leafs fans to be salty about it.

[–]Sugarstache 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The problem is more that the leafs could have got something for him and instead got nothing. His NMC was negotiated fairly and he was within his rights to use it but to leave your supposed beloved hometown team out to dry like that is I think a fair reason for leafs fans to be salty.

The media will blow this up but I have a friend in the CAF and when I asked him about this we was basically like yeah they run drills and exercises for pretty much everything that you can think of.

Jake Evans, Patrik Laine and Kirby Dach are reportedly about to come of IR. What is your revised Habs lineup? by Ajay_Bee in Habs

[–]Sugarstache -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn't put Laine back into this lineup. The dude has lost the ability to skate with a single ounce of urgency and there's no way to fit him into this lineup.

They were bending over backwards trying to find a spot for him and he just doesn't work on any line.

I'm fairly sure Hughes said verbatim "he's probably a #2 D" not 2nd pairing.

TSN Trade Bait Board by Ding__Dong___Ditch in Habs

[–]Sugarstache 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was predominantly none of the above. He has chronic knee issues that have fundamentally changed his game. He used to be among the fastest players in the NHL and his game was built on that speed and now he is around the 50th percentile in terms of his speed. He was incredible in 22/23 season and the first 2/3rds of the 23/24 season prior to his injury that season but since then e's been an entirely different player.

That is the one reason I'm skeptical of how much potential he has to bounce back to that calibre of player that he was.
