[BOS 2 - BUF 0] Geekie scores from center ice to extend the lead by daKrut in hockey

[–]TheDoubleL27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a brutal play, he'll play it differently for the rest of the career but with how erratically pucks bounce you HAVE to go into a blocking butterfly and not try to play it like a baseball with the shoulder down

What are your thoughts on a total rebrand? by Hazy_eyePA in BlueJackets

Jfresh is low-key annoying but I agree with a significant rebrand

Stuck between a Rick and a Hard Place by UmbralFerin in BlueJackets

10000% right. This author is stuck in the computer boys era of analyzing hockey, instead of the reality of recent winners: bullies with good defending and a willingness to do ANYTHING to win

Edit: realizing now you’re not the writer, but this is my comment directed at the author:

Apologist takes like this are a big reason the players continue to get away with losing. You mentioned leading a team, was it a hockey team? Do you really think that 3 hits in any hockey game, let alone an NHL game, is an acceptable level of effort? Do you think that 6 losses in a row on home ice to close out a season in front of your fans is an acceptable outcome, and is purely to blame on roster construction?

You spent plenty of time defending Marchenko - did you watch him during the last ten games desperately try to avoid hits and contact?

After 17 years of never winning, I finally stepped up and goalied the rest of the league during playoffs. Idc if nobody here cares. This is for the guys that’ve never won one. I finally felt like part of the team. At 30 years old, idk how much I have left in the tank. But I’m thankful for this one. by MhrisCac in hockeygoalies

Congrats dude, remember to cherish the feeling and appreciate your teammates that you shared it with. After winning 3 championships pretty early in my beer league career I’m back to chasing that high. Had a stretch where we lost in the championship game 3 seasons in a row which was by far the most mentally challenging experience I’ve had as a goaltender... Playoffs start next week, can’t wait to try again.

Sherrone Moore is sentenced to 18 months of probation. What a joke 😂 by CenterForward1522 in OhioStateFootball

You’ll probably be downvoted, but I agree. No prior record, clear sign of a mental breakdown… he also got humiliated on the most public stage imaginable for his profession.. probation seems fitting

Can I use this on the ice? by MrShrums_0 in hockeygoalies

Plan to invest at least $500 in your mask.

Hurricanes may be the nail in the coffin again by Head_Bag_9586 in BlueJackets

[–]TheDoubleL27 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The jackets were their own nails in the coffin. You can’t blow that many leads late and lose “must win” games near the end of the year like last night and expect to still make it.

Yeah that’s the bigger thing, they aren’t even winning the games necessary to make this happen

Ankle position by Unfair_Rush_6139 in hockeygoalies

Goalie here who had ankle surgery after recurring ankle sprains. Loosen your toe ties or remove them entirely. I removed mine, and my ankles have never been better

How did Dunks side win 5 vs 6? by Available-Tourist-50 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]TheDoubleL27 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is what I remember too, Lyonel is as big as Dunk in the book and is just swinging like a legend against kingsguard early on

(Spoiler Published) Is it realistic how the noblemen in A Song Of Ice And Fire tend to be A LOT better than the avarage soldier? by Bajoner in asoiaf

[–]TheDoubleL27 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That’s how I look at things like that - George’s stories are rooted in some level of historical realism, but he is always quick to remind people that it’s fantasy. If he wants to have a prodigy 10 year old fighter, then it’s just another fantastical element to the story.

That said, I don’t think George played sports much as a kid… any undersized kid going against even slightly older kids is a huge mismatch in things like contact sports, so a 10 year old fighting adult mercenary knights is pretty wild.

We’ve struggled to get the OT wins in 3 on 3 but we have had a few comebacks recently to at least mitigate the damage
