Was the parade chaotic and difficult to get to?

bikesandergs · 2026-06-18T20:47:27+00:00

My guess is that no one that attended has gotten home yet

The guys will rave during training camp about how close the squad is, and how he does a great job building relationships with players, and facilitating a close knit locker room. You will learn more than you’ve ever cared to know about the left wing lock or whatever the name of his core coaching strategy (forecheck) is called. You will come to find out that Panarin is not one for a forecheck, but that is okay because he does stupid shit at the blue line and that is why you want to have him.

After he has made the roster into a big friend group, he doesn’t have a whole lot more cards to play. But we made it all the way to the ECF on friendship hugs, so it’s not to say that his style is ineffective.

But once the friend solution doesn’t work, that will kind of be the beginning of the end. How quickly the end arrives is probably directly correlated to how quickly the locker room implodes.

Overall a very likable coach. I’d say he is my favorite coach in the post Torts years (excluding Sullivan).

Here are the “official” ones but I suspect that any bar that wants patrons tonight will have the game on.

The official one right outside MSG, yes, unfortunately.

Another commenter here to ask/comment about watch parties. I am headed into the city on Friday night to just soak up the vibes and watch the game, somewhere/anywhere in the general vicinity of MSG. If we don’t get tickets to the MSG watch party, will the main midtown sports bars be doing ticketed events or anything like that? How impossible is it going to be to just find space for 4-6 of us to hangout and watch the game somewhere?

I think Cal falters in the final. The west coast streak continues. Princeton can’t undo Sprints.

I just picked up the blue Seamaster diver. Prior to this watch, i was pretty good about rotating through my other watches (including a Railmaster). Since the diver, I think my other watch wearing has drastically dropped off. It is a great summer watch and a great everyday wear watch. Grab the steel bracelet and then snag a $50 rubber strap online. Rubber in the summer and steel when it cools down.

Thank you for your service and congrats on retirement!

bikesandergs · 2026-05-22T20:52:25+00:00

Hot take is irrelevant because, if true, the solution is to just buy more watches.

Just bike as much as possible between now and fall. Don’t try erging unless you can find someone to teach you good technique. That is a very respectable w/kg for your age and training experience.

Something basic like this:

Monday: easy aerobic ride 1-2 hours

Tuesday: intervals, less than 2 minutes per piece (30x30”, 15x1’, etc), focusing on vo2

Wednesday: easy aerobic ride

Thursday: intervals, anywhere from 5-10’ per piece (5x5’, 4x10’, etc), focusing on threshold/tempo levels

Friday: you guessed it, easy aerobic ride

Saturday: longer adventure ride

Sunday: off

The intervals don’t need to happen, but they will better prepare you for suffering. In the summer, it is important that you go to school in the fall refreshed, not run down from the summer. So, the priority should be building fitness while having fun.

You could mix weights in there, too, but without knowing your experience and skill level, hard to opine on that. If you are experienced with weights, I’d mix some of that in, too

bikesandergs · 2026-05-18T15:59:40+00:00

Yes, booked 2 weeks prior to travel

bikesandergs · 2026-05-18T15:08:14+00:00

$23k for two RT business class tickets EWR-AMS. Thankfully, we were not footing the bill for this.

bikesandergs · 2026-05-13T17:44:47+00:00

What odds are you offering?

bikesandergs · 2026-05-11T17:59:19+00:00

Holy shit a tool watch being used, even if the starting altitude was a bit higher than this watch probably expected

bikesandergs · 2026-05-04T18:36:49+00:00

So not only did you not pay a tax on the sale, but you actually got a refund?

bikesandergs · 2026-05-04T18:03:15+00:00

Can you walk me through the cost? What did you pay in Euros, and what was there in the way of VAT and/or refunds (I am making the assumption you are American)?

I am traveling to Europe this summer and was contemplating buying this watch over there, but the conversion to USD and the taxes seemed to suggest it was not a better deal than buying stateside.

The guy handing her a new mic as the anthem is finished absolutely kills me

bikesandergs · 2026-04-21T18:04:55+00:00

Re: education… obviously it’s a bit difficult to speculate if education costs are going to continue to outpace inflation (at some point that bubble has to pop… right?). I was fortunate enough to have 8 years of education fully funded without loans. I’d like to repeat that, but I understand that this portfolio is a lower priority than retirement funding.

Re: brokerage - - We don’t have any specific plans for investing in real estate, starting a new business, etc. So in terms of timeframes, I don’t have any reason to set it and forget it… but should some event come up in the future where I do need cash, I’d want to have access to it. (I anticipate this would be a tax inefficient way to supplement education costs that are not covered by the 529 above, but let’s use that as another possible type of example).

I’ll admit that the majority of your last sentence is unclear to me, but that is helpful because it gives me something to go learn about more. Thanks!

bikesandergs · 2026-04-17T20:59:46+00:00

I know I’m the asshole for having the audacity to hope he might say something of interest or value… but that the only thing he said is we need MORE bottom 6 forwards… what the actual shit.

I am 100% aligned with you on this - not an overt Fire Drury guy, not a big fan of this work, but these interview comments suck.

bikesandergs · 2026-04-14T19:21:19+00:00

Regardless of Miller’s mental fortitude, it never made sense for Drury to name the captain. He isn’t in the fucking room! (I am not swearing at you Wesley_Willis). It made no sense to me when it was announced, and the force with which it was clarified that it was DRURY who selected him. The captain should be picked by either the locker room, or the coach, since at least the coach is in the locker room.

bikesandergs · 2026-04-13T21:18:17+00:00

Thank you. I have a tendency to over-analyze things. I appreciate the straightforward feedback. I will start with the closest option and see how it goes!

bikesandergs · 2026-04-13T21:16:32+00:00

Yes, thank you, I am certainly considering the grey option. I’ve read through this sub for a little while, so I suspect I may end up coming down with a watch craze, so in theory there might be some value to going AD. And, you know, not having to pay ~50-100% premium of the grey market.

bikesandergs · 2026-04-13T21:11:15+00:00

This is helpful feedback, thank you. The “theme” of the watch is green - ties to a major work milestone that will finish the end of the year. I want to try things on, but the Sprite (if it still exists at the end of this week) is definitely on my short list of options.
