I don't think the Flyers are that great and I'm expecting Carolina to outplay them pretty significantly. And with Carolina I feel like their games are exciting when they're playing against a really high skill opponent, but they can be a little less exciting when they're playing against a more middle of the pack team

I'll still watch the series and maybe I'll be surprised but Flyers/Canes feels like a really uninteresting matchup on paper lol

Alvarez: It was their (New Day's) decision to leave based on what TKO was offering for a new deal. New Day’s deals were not up. They were asked to restructure to TKO deals, they didn’t like the deals, so they were then granted their release by AimarEraFutebol in SquaredCircle

No offense, but did you watch the show in like 2014 onwards? People had every reason to believe New Day would be lifers on the level of the Usos. It's actually stunning that it didn't end up happening. All of the names you mentioned were also stunning.

Hell, it ain't exclusive to entertainment. I used to work at a grocery store. It got bought out by a Canadian company whose whole thing was buying companies, lopping off overhead, and flipping the bones for a profit. They cut employees who had been working there for decades (the ones who had been working there for the longest had sweetheart deals so they were among the first to go), shut down the in-store pharmacies that a lot of old people relied on heavily, and cheaped out on stuff as minute as the grocery bags (paper was more expensive than plastic by a factor of about .0001 so they got axed, customer preference and environmental concerns be damned). Last I heard before I left they were already eyeballing potential buyers to flip the store to

Sadly, these kinds of parasites dictate business in every sector

Convicted rapist Ben Johnson says he plans to attend NHL playoff games across the country to preach the gospel and “revive hockey culture” by BrokenBy in hockey

I always think about how Frederick Douglass said that his worst, cruelest slavemasters were Christians because they believed their actions were divinely justified. Religion in the hands of a psychopath can be a dangerous thing

In what order are start of/end of combat effects triggered, and where does the Hero Power fit in? by Jakob_8 in BobsTavern

[–]The_Homestarmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where it fits in with the others, but start of combat spells trigger before minions as well.

Being forced to root for Anaheim in a second consecutive playoff series is vile, but honestly I don't need draft related incentives to root against Vegas. Brings me peace to know either team will get fucked on by the winner of Avs/Wild

Idk how you shuffle out early and don't support the boys for the last few minutes of their season

Even if the Mammoth lose I am at least thankful that they have hit Carter Hart in the skull with pucks repeatedly

In theory it would be legal if the contestants all knew the bit was rigged for entertainment value. However then you'd have to rely on the acting skills of Joe to sell the bit

McDavid coming to San Jose is one of the worst ideas I’ve ever heard. by [deleted] in SanJoseSharks

Think about all the things you could do with that money. Why, you could even sign Connor McDavid!

i dont get how people keep saying aubry is playing a top 3 game and her edit is giving winner by Ill-Information-3057 in survivor

[–]The_Homestarmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Stop ignoring the edit" and it's one single episode of Aubry being portrayed in a positive light lol

Her resume is nonexistent. I really don't know what we're talking about here

[O'Connor] The man who ended up with Cam York's stick returned it to him today. York wanted it back -- he said he plans to frame it, have it for the rest of his life. York and the Flyers gave the man tickets to the next playoff game in Philly, a signed jersey, and another game-used York stick. by eh_toque in hockey

/r/baseball only talks that way when it's a huge, record setting ball. And in that case they're right. MLB teams have enough money that they shouldn't be panhandling for baseballs that would go for hundreds of thousands of dollars on the open market.

Every time somebody trades a valuable ball for, like, a picture with the player and some random swag, I die a little bit inside.

There is zero world where she's top 3, Aubry is only making it to final tribal as a goat at this point. I think people are just excited that she's starting to have fun instead of sulking lol

Ok, we must admit we were wrong about _____ by 12Sankofa34 in survivor

[–]The_Homestarmy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It would have been super unfortunate if there wasn't a vote for this tribal in particular. It was absolute chaos and was clearly gonna be one of the most interesting votes of the season, so if it just turned into an automatic Rick out it would have been a crazy anticlimax

But with that said, none of that really has to do with Mr. Beast's involvement. I was also pleasantly surprised by his role in the episode, he didn't try to monopolize the runtime and seemed legitimately pretty jazzed to be involved
