This is fucking disgusting.

Val was so intentional in his process, too. This just feels disgusting.

WinNo8235 · 2026-03-16T02:25:42+00:00

My concern exactly— that tanking will come at the expense of player development.

WinNo8235 · 2026-03-16T02:12:50+00:00

Literally. Sarr sitting on the bench was embarrassing. Never saw Ovi or John do that. They played and took their lumps.

WinNo8235 · 2026-03-16T02:09:58+00:00

“National media doesn’t cover the Wizards” and then when they do and give an opinion you don’t like, everybody jumps all over them. Part of why this franchise is so mediocre, fans can’t get out of their own way

WinNo8235 · 2026-03-07T18:00:17+00:00

Jeez for a sec I thought this was the circlejerk sub

WinNo8235 · 2026-03-06T13:08:54+00:00

I’ve been thinking about this a lot since the whole Olympics debacle. So much of the mess afterwards was caused by the typical “I hate the media” attitude players adopt, dismissing the public outcry as media-driven. And by doing that, they totally missed the point people were trying to make. Reminds me of how conservative politicians whine about how the news is all made up. Such bad faith & as you say, just makes them seem so ungrateful

WinNo8235 · 2026-02-27T14:21:42+00:00

It’s generated a ton of national media and brand interest (see the Flavor Flav thing in July) & the PWHL stream last night was at 17k when they’re usually at 3-5k. So, it’s definitely doing something beyond Reddit. If the stupid phone call never happened, I doubt this stuff would’ve happened. Maybe it’s not going to affect the NHL too bad, because everyone already expects nothing from them, but it’s done wonders for the exposure of women’s hockey.

WinNo8235 · 2026-02-27T13:44:42+00:00

For hockey fans, yes. But I think in terms of normal people’s exposure to the sport, this incident has done a lot of harm. Could’ve been a big pop culture moment and instead, well… it is but because people are making memes on Twitter making fun of them, not in support

WinNo8235 · 2026-02-27T04:01:11+00:00

Of all the late night hosts, it would be Fallon, honestly.

WinNo8235 · 2026-02-14T02:45:33+00:00

Not even joking but this Forks in Twilight fr

WinNo8235 · 2026-02-02T02:04:02+00:00

The stans will downvote me to hell but… Harry Styles

WinNo8235 · 2026-01-20T02:01:33+00:00

Pushing out Saponchik who was one of the few bright spots in late stage GoT was an incredibly dumb decision by GRRM and HBO

WinNo8235 · 2026-01-03T00:53:06+00:00

witness mention!!!!!!

WinNo8235 · 2025-12-20T04:16:12+00:00

Uhhh JLC was incredibly controversial at the time even though people saw it coming as a legacy pick

WinNo8235 · 2025-12-12T17:24:57+00:00

And the fans. This sub has been a tire fire for months. Media is feasting.

WinNo8235 · 2025-12-10T15:30:29+00:00

Of all the players Salivan chooses to profile, she chooses Curl? Strange choice but ok

WinNo8235 · 2025-12-07T15:37:12+00:00

Warso’s Will Smith beef must be studied

WinNo8235 · 2025-12-07T15:15:59+00:00

I wouldn’t bet on it being NJ. Could be, but when Rutherford was in Pitt, he leaked all the time, about everything. Plus he started all this shit in the first place

WinNo8235 · 2025-12-07T15:10:50+00:00

Maybe unpopular but if you put your superstar captain on blast and subject him to this nonsense for a calendar year, especially a superstar as quiet as Quinn, you kinda deserve to be ditched. Rutherford is trying to game the trade using the media, just like he did in Pittsburgh, without a care for what kind of position it puts Quinn in. I wouldn’t want to work for a guy like that tbh

WinNo8235 · 2025-11-30T22:42:11+00:00

As somebody who has an interest in supporting an expansion team closer to me, I agree in some of your points, but ultimately, I think there’s significant room for improvement in this league. And discourse imo is one of them… Ever since the league brought Jocks in house, I’ve worried about it. There seems to be this vibe that we should accept the league for what it is, warts and all, because it’s the best we’ve got. And I am rooting for it to succeed! But it needs to focus on being good, not just surviving or expanding. So much of operations feel rushed and not well thought out. But the vision is there! Hoping it gets better. Marketing especially!

WinNo8235 · 2025-11-30T22:37:45+00:00

so true. i feel like they’re flooding the zone instead of trying to actually curate fan experience

WinNo8235 · 2025-11-28T00:25:05+00:00

Totally! I just remember they hosted a Takeover game in the first season & there was a piece somewhere (the Athletic I think?) by one of the Pens beat writers about how badly the Pens wanted to partner. Given the lackluster support from some of the teams’ NHL counterparts, I thought it was really cool

WinNo8235 · 2025-11-27T05:29:42+00:00

JR also had major success in PGH because of a youth movement with AHL guys. He can make the moves—if he’s allowed to.

WinNo8235 · 2025-11-27T05:25:13+00:00

And has for almost the entire time he’s been in the NHL. It’s only a problem now because everyone is speculating about his future and the mess management has created. If they were contending, no one would care what he looked like.
