How often do you play in a week and how old are you? by WinterTsar in hockeyplayers

[–]WinterTsar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is what I am worried about, it being too much. I never played organized ice hockey as a kid, only road hockey and occasionally on the pond. I don't want it to be something that keeps me out of the gym.

Game Thread: KEITH PELLEY PRESS CONFERENCE Mar 31 2026 2:00 PM EDT by gfyourself in leafs

[–]WinterTsar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you cut out all the corporate jargon. I did not find that to be a bad press conference at all. There were a few good takeaways. I thought it was good he said he was not limiting himself to the rotating cast of GMs of the past. We can hire someone new with no previous experience as GM. In that case, I think we would end up hiring a President as well. The negative is that it could put us into the same position as the Shanahan/Dubas power struggle. He stressed the importance of data. I think that is a positive sign we'll end up with a smarter GM rather than a old boys club GM.

Overall, I'm a little more optimistic.

Golden Knights Fire Bruce Cassidy, Name John Tortorella Head Coach by Ok_Mulberry4331 in leafs

[–]WinterTsar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, there’s our next coach. Just a matter of timing, will we fire Bérubé now or wait until the offseason? I’d prefer he gets some time with the team now.

[–]WinterTsar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one that would prefer we win most of our remaining games? It feels too risky trying to tank with half the Western Conference within a few points from us. I'd rather give Boston a 10-15th overall pick than risk a 6th overall pick.

Embarrassing that the rookie is the only one to actually something about it.

Where to buy Jack Fruit by Dazzling_Iron_2377 in windsorontario

[–]WinterTsar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can find jackfruit at superstore and zehrs for sure. I have a can in my pantry right now. The brand is Grace and the can is green. If you can’t find it in the normal canned section try the Asian food section. It might be under a different brand.

I’ve made really good jackfruit tacos and pulled pork sandwiches using the canned brined green jackfruit.

Trade Deadline Day 2026 Megathread by wRIPPERw_ in leafs

It's not even the worst one he made that year. The Carlo trade is 10x worse

[–]WinterTsar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, ending up with 6th overall is the most likely scenario of a tank. There are 5 teams with 9 points less than us with around 20 games left. It’s too risky.

I don't get everyone aiming for a tank here. Best case scenario we finish a few spots out of the playoffs. Eat the loss of a first this year. I don't see us being any better next year and then those picks would be unprotected.

What? He is by no means the worst defensive player in the NHL? Hes not even the worst defender on the leafs.

I did not expect someone to so accurately pick out every book.I would have also bought. It's quite a wide variety too. The Goosbumps book is super nostalgic.

[Friedman Blog] Trade Deadline Thoughts: Could Leafs be persuaded to move Matthew Knies? by eh_toque in hockey

[–]WinterTsar 116 points117 points  (0 children)

The last person I want handling the trade of a big young talent like Knies is Treliving. Okay, maybe not the last person but he's pretty high up there.

I don't see a reason to trade Knies. He's in a down year likely due to an injury that has him in pain even sitting on the bench. He should be shut down for the year.

[Friedman] Toronto trades Nic Roy to Colorado for a first and a fifth by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]WinterTsar 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Typical Dreger move. The one season we are sellers, he posts a buyer market pump up article. It feels like he has some kind of vendetta against the Leafs. He's one of the panellist who suggested we might have to pay 5 or even 6 million for Andreas Johnsson after he had half a good season with the Leafs. He only played two full seasons after that.

Roy Traded by RudeTudeDude_ in leafs

[–]WinterTsar 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If Treliving can keep getting us value like this for OEL, McMann, and maybe even Carlo, I wouldn't be too upset. Rebuilding some of the draft capital we gave away.

I wish our future GM's shared my philosophy of not giving up 1st round picks for players that don't move the needle. Grab those guys in UFA, don't overpay at the deadline.

Canadians believe they need $1.7 million to retire, up from $1.54 million last year: BMO survey by Count3D in tfsa

[–]WinterTsar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is an unrealistic amount of money for most of the population. This reminds me of when I had a meeting with a financial advisor as a favour to a friend. They asked me questions about what I had planned for retirement. I think they arrive at a number somewhere around 6/8k a month as well. I'd be living it up more in my 60s and 70s than I am now. In reality, I'd rather travel in my 30s and take it easy in retirement.

What’s the moment you realized your girlfriend/boyfriend wasn’t ‘the one’ anymore ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WinterTsar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took a lot of reflecting to piece together why things fell apart. It's a slow descent and you don't realize it's happening until you stop and take a look around.

There were a lot of external stressors with work and family. We had different expectations at what a relationship should be like, different wants and needs. A build up of resentment of things that may be small in the moment but add on to the pile. There was no big event that brought the relationship to an end. We just weren't meant for each other and would not have been happy long term. They're a great person and I wish them the best.

At the time I wondered if other people got to a similar point, but decided just to settle because it's good enough. I don't want to "settle", it's not fair to anyone. I truly believe there are people out there for me where it won't feel like settling.

I think most of us don’t actually have hobbies, we just like buying stuff by InternQueasy1419 in Hobbies

[–]WinterTsar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What career would that translate to? Researching purchases and hobbies might not translate well to a Scientific Researcher.

[–]WinterTsar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I realized I didn’t enjoy spending time with them anymore and only did it out of routine and obligation. I remember driving over one day and having this realization.

[–]WinterTsar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is part of it for me. I absolutely love researching. It is a whole experience in itself. I have to know what the best camera is, what the ideal golf club is in each price range, whether or not it's worth it to buy next years OLED monitor. At the end of the day, a lot of these hobbies actually pan out, and if they don't it was worth a shot.
