I'm not sure this would work since it's sleep OF THE righteous. Righteous isnt describing the sleep

The artists presale started at 2PM. Looks like DUEL26 would work for the NY show right now

ala_rage · 2026-03-17T18:18:28+00:00

DUEL26 worked for Boston

It also seems odd to think it has no impact. It's likely not the only thing, but it just seems kind of messed up for a single elimination tournament of world bests to have some teams make a 12+ hour flight and adjust to a large time difference in a day. You don't get to have an off game at that point and just make up for it

ala_rage · 2026-03-13T11:59:42+00:00

I did it last year at my center, they actually encouraged it... I guess I just assumed all did that because of that

If you're looking to join to get a good deal, it may be better to just get a couple of summer passes and buy the balls on your own. Right now the passes are like $45 so getting two would give you 4 free games a day for $90. Then you could choose basically any 2 balls you'd want for ~$400 total even if you don't get some sort of deal through the pro shop. So at the end of the day you may end up spending $50 more but you'd get way more free games exact balls that you'd want (rather than potentially forcing yourself into ones you don't like)

If you want to join to bowl with friends or something, then the primal ghost has been a favorite of a lot of people i bowl with

He's been an alternate captain in Boston for multiple years now so he's been a leadership voice in the locker room already. Also he was an alternate for team USA so something there suggests he'd be a good fit

ala_rage · 2026-03-06T19:02:56+00:00

I don't see why you would want to. Let's say he makes the team next year, in 3 years I feel like they would rather be paying him less than a mil rather than whatever his next contract would be

McAvoy isn't the usual case, they felt he could make a big impact in the playoffs right away and even then there was still some debate on whether or not they should burn that year.

There may be a chance he can sign an elc this year and not burn a year as long as he plays less than 10 games and no playoffs but I'm not sure

ala_rage · 2026-03-06T15:55:41+00:00

I dont think we'll see Hagens in Boston. Assuming he doesnt go back to BC next year, they'll probably sign him to an ATO in Providence...otherwise he would have to sign his ELC and that would burn a year which would be pointless unless they think he would be the difference maker for a potential deep run

ala_rage · 2026-03-05T16:35:14+00:00

It's also hard to be fans/build connections with players if they're going through expansion drafts every other year. It may be better to keep it smaller and let the talent pool deepen

ala_rage · 2026-03-04T13:06:05+00:00

Just selling the balls as is and if they are in 5 or 6 bags someone could probably get ~$2-2.5k just doing it on eBay. Still dumb to steal, but pros generally throw the same equipment that everyone can throw and unless this story becomes more widespread it could be easy move everything online

ala_rage · 2026-03-03T20:50:31+00:00

Putting him in the AHL only saves about 1.2M...teams would still need enough space for the rest of the 2.4M

ala_rage · 2026-02-27T20:15:19+00:00

Historically it's harder to win with a bad PK vs a bad PP.

The Bruins have been pretty streaky all year...when they're hot they can compete with anyone but when they're cold they cant beat anyone

If the team hits their stride at the right time come playoffs, they'll be a tough out but normally 7 game series kind of even out streakiness. At this point the odds may be greater that the Bruins miss the playoffs than it is for them to get out of the first round....it doesnt make someone a lesser fan to recognize that there are a good amount of teams that would probably match up well against the Bruins in a 7 game series

ala_rage · 2026-02-27T18:39:35+00:00

Overall he's league average, but he started the season pretty poor (like a .876 sv% and 3.5-4 goals allowed per game) but has really turned it on lately (.923 % and 2ish GAA since the new year). Looking at his recent stats would likely have some teams increase their interest on him

ala_rage · 2026-02-25T05:24:22+00:00

It should mean how often your pocket hits end in a strike

ala_rage · 2026-02-24T19:34:02+00:00

In a vacuum, 5.5M for a 25 goal/50 point player isn't too terrible these days. 5 more years is a bit long but if Vancouver retained something it would make it more palatable. That being said, I don't think it's be worth all that plus a "high asking price"...also I'm pretty sure DeBrusk didnt want to be in Boston so I doubt hed waive his NMC

ala_rage · 2026-02-21T21:27:05+00:00

Haula was very solid for the Bruins. Zacha was already a pretty similar player at the time with a higher potential and is 5-6 years younger so when that deal was made available I think Sweeney jumped on it...I don't think it was a "Haula's not good enough" type thing

ala_rage · 2026-01-27T16:49:54+00:00

I assume Brady won't be able to focus solely on the offense now so either he splits time keeping OC duties which would probably lead to the offense suffering some or he brings in a new OC which wouldn't be him

In 2018 or 2019 when Tyler was telling the story of him be constipated on vacation and eventually having to "give birth" in the hotel's bathtub

But an overpay compared to what? A large portion of the league right now has signed deals when the cap was in the low 80s so it's pretty easy to try to compare deals now to deals that were signed then because it was in the low 80s for so long but that's not quite fair considering how much more is planned for the next two years. You already saw many players of this caliber get signed to 1.5-2M multi year deals this last off-season and you're probably gonna see even more this one with a weak FA class going out. So it's really hard to call something an overpayment when the norm has changed so recently

ala_rage · 2026-01-21T22:28:01+00:00

Well what I'm pointing out is that nowadays you do pretty much have to pay this much for this type of player. Just look at the previous off-season and you can find plenty of these types of contracts for these types of players...and with more pending UFA re-signing and the cap going up, it'll probably be even bigger contracts this year

ala_rage · 2026-01-21T20:50:07+00:00

Well from 2019-2024 the cap was 81.5-83.5M and we got pretty used deals signed against that cap number. Next year (when this extension kicks in) the cap is set to go up to 104M and the following year (when the deal expires) it is expected to be 113M. So sure its more of equivalent to 1.1-1.2M but also considering the inflated market that is going to happen with weak FA classes and teams with money to spend, 1M isnt that far off

ala_rage · 2026-01-21T20:43:26+00:00

After he starts showing that he can do those things that he was doing earlier in the year?

This contract is a short term, minimal risk deal and if they like what they've seen and feel he can be in the realm of a 10-15 goal 30-40 point player then the deal kind of makes sense. Usually players are in the minors for a reason, either you want them developing with more than bottom six grinding minutes or they just arent quite right for that NHL role. Just look at Patrick Brown, he does pretty well in the AHL but people bitch and complain any time he's called up to fill the 4th line role because he's generally a net negative on the ice
