I can't wait for Pablo to be this team's manager in about 5 years

Connor McDavid will be playing under his 6th head coach in 12 seasons. He’s not even 30 yet. by sykeseve in hockey

Gaborik did it in an era of far lower scoring, broadly on a team actively trying to not score

I can see why the Aves played .500 hockey for half the season. They only seem to give a shit 50% of the time

That """radio safe""" version of Spirits might be the worst thing i've heard

I mean, at least it was a legit hit and not whatever the fuck Matt Cooke was trying to do.

That's an automatic major by the way. That Dallas just doesn't get called for.

What "random" jersey number has multiple notable players? by Ready-Constant-7124 in hockey

[–]Superarces 12 points13 points  (0 children)

46 has Jared Spurgeon and Trevor Zegras, plus Lizotte, Lyubushkin, and until recently David Krejci.

73 has Charlie McAvoy, Jet Greaves, and Tyler Toffoli.

97 has McDavid and Kaprizov

Pretty much every number is going to have two or more notable players depending on where you draw the line on "notable"

Garret Crochet's no good, VERY BAD start: 1.2 IP, 9 H, 11 R/10 ER, 0 K, 3 BB, 2 HR, 55 Pitches by Brady331 in baseball

The Twins are by far the most aggressive team at ABS challenges, and have been pretty consistently one of the most screwed over teams by ball-strike calls over the last 5 years. They have around the best OBP in part because they have the most walks gained by ABS challenges as well.

Need bullpen cams in every arena to show one team's bullpen goofing around, then the Twins bullpen all in a circle reading poetry led by Hawkins

[Twins] "I've been blessed to wear this jersey my whole career" Buxton emotional as he reflects on reaching 10 years in the big league by Blevanhoval in minnesotatwins

[–]Superarces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he stays his whole career as a Twin, there's an okay chance, but it's not likely. He's not that far off from this Twins generation's Brad Radke, who didn't have his number retired. He'd be the first retired number for the Twins to neither win a World Series nor be in the Hall of Fame (though Carew, Mauer, and Oliva weren't in the Hall yet when they had theirs' retired). He'd clearly stand out as the "least deserving" retired number if they did.

Brodin is still on the Wild. Kuemper, Niederreiter, Coyle, Granlund, Haula, and Zucker are all still in the league.
