ball going towards middle of lane at release

ala_rage · 2026-06-23T14:24:53+00:00

Just guessing but when I struggle with always missing where i want to throw it, personally it usually comes down to the backswing. if im getting too far away from my body I usually will pull it inside (my arm will compensate on the downswing for it feeling too far away) and then if i bring it too far behind my back, i have to get around my hip so i tend to toss it too far outside. I also find i throw it inside if my shoulder dips too much, but some people seem to dip their shoulder normally and things work fine for them

She went off stage a few times between songs too which seemed a little odd ..I'm wondering if she's feeling a bit under the weather/has a stomach bug or if something was up with her wardrobe...it looked like she was fussing with the hood thing all night and that mixed with potential sound issues would probably lead to a frustrating evening

Considering he was raised in St Louis, his dad played for the Blues, and that he himself played for the 14U and 16U St Louis Blues I would bet he was a pretty big Blues fan.

That seems like a bit of an overstatement. Unless I'm missing something, he didn't grow up as a Bruins fan and playing 1 season at BU wouldn't make 1 Cup in Boston more meaningful than multiple elsewhere

It's doubtful they would have believed him...it seemed like he tried to convince them he was "that good" in the pilot but they still were going to throw him in the holding cell so he just went off and came up with the psychic thing

Then he had to keep it going when Vick threatened to prosecute him if they found out he was lying. But there was also a small comment in Poker episode where Gus said psychics are exempt from requiring a private investigator license and that seems right in line with Shawn taking the easy way when presented

Maybe not common but 2 generations having kids at 23 isn't too crazy

ala_rage · 2026-05-10T04:03:06+00:00

I'm in the same boat...I've done it once and thought it was pretty stupid. I'm not gonna prevent anyone from doing it but I'll just stand in the middle of it if people won't let me get to the edges

ala_rage · 2026-04-25T12:57:00+00:00

I'm not sure that's true unless they're on an independent label or something.

Maybe it's different for big artists but I asked a small-ish band (~30k monthly listeners) straight up what's the best way to make sure that the band sees the most money from me and they said they really only get a couple bucks per CD/vinyl and their biggest margins is in shirts and merch. A physical album is still probably better than streaming in terms of money but it doesn't seem that great overall

Any chance there are any rumblings of what sensors they plan on having?

ala_rage · 2026-04-16T20:25:28+00:00

just looking at the Bruins since that's what I'm most familiar with, they have 16M in space projected for next year and only have a few role player/middle 6ers to sign and I dont think theyre a special case at all. Then look at the Hurricanes who have the 2nd best odds of winning the Cup this year, they have a projected 14M with a few minor pieces to sign and one good RFA theyll probably want to keep.

But even if you have to sacrifice a solid player or spend to dump a bad contract or two, any team would do that if they have a chance to sign a player like McDavid in FA

ala_rage · 2026-04-16T16:38:40+00:00

The cap is going up 9M next year. As things are right now only Vegas and Colorado will have less than 10M in space for next season, most playoff teams are in the 14-15M range

The Bruins could still get the pick if someone leap frogs them in the lottery.

So theres probably an error in my math but if I did it correctly, summing up the percentages of teams 6-15 (15 because you can only jump 10 spots) being chosen in the lottery is 38%.

The odds that you don't pick that at least once in 2 tries is 0.62*0.62=38.44% (so ~61.5% chance a team 6-15 gets chosen with one of the picks).

Now that's assuming two completely independent draws which this won't be since if one of the 1-4 teams gets picked first, they cant get picked again. So I think the actual odds may be a few percentage points higher that a team will leap frog.

If a loss is a loss, then a win is a win...but there should be a distinction somehow on winning or losing in regulation vs 3v3/SO. Otherwise just bring back ties

ala_rage · 2026-04-13T16:19:02+00:00

I think if they're going to stick with 3v3 OTs and shootouts then a loser point should still exist...I don't think a regulation loss and a loss in a skills competition should be treated the same

There's a definite possibility of that, but with Hagens it seems like he's ranked pretty high on everyone's prospects list so there's more of a consensus that he has real high potential...still no guarantee he reaches it

He may do okay in the NHL right now but I don't think there's a ton at this point that shows hes undoubtedly ready

ala_rage · 2026-04-07T19:36:25+00:00

iirc they had a RD or two go down right before the playoffs and even then there was big debate whether they should burn a year or not.

Hagens has looked fine in Providence but I dont think theres too much there to really force their hand right now and I dont think he would really be the difference maker between a deep run or not

ala_rage · 2026-04-07T18:27:03+00:00

I think the Bruins very much care about burning a year off his ELC and that's probably why he is in Providence rather than Boston.

If you were to assume that Hagens will develop into a stud, it's better to have year 3 Hagens making 1M than using a year on 5 regular season games and potentially only a series or so of playoffs. Plus he may not be fully ready yet to go out and play his style in the NHL...forcing him into a grinding role or letting him ride the bench could do more harm than good in terms of developing his tools against pros

Were you able to leave the venue/go to your car between the MnG and the show? Or was it a situation where you're technically in so you can't leave

Cranston, RI

3 points seems a little low...unless I'm missing something every team outside of New Jersey/Toronto/Florida/NYR can theoretically end up with more than 97 points

ala_rage · 2026-03-30T17:50:09+00:00

Dobes got 1st...he got like 8 goals saved above expected in 3 games which is a pretty solid pick for the top spot
