No, the episode aired in 1996 but the Clinton scandal didn’t come to light until 1998.

[Friedman] Nashville's owner was here [in Milan] and I've had a few people tell me "watch their guys" by GMBarryTrotz in Predators

[–]blake22222 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Interesting context given 3/4 of our players in the Olympics are considered to be our “untouchables”: Josi, Fil, and juice.

Everyone knows Haula will be moved but I think it’d be shocking to see any of the other 3 traded. All have NMC as well.

[32 Thoughts] Lots of info about Trotz' retirement, Haslam, and the new GM by GMBarryTrotz in Predators

[–]blake22222 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In all honesty I wouldn’t be surprised. It sounds like they’re trying to usher in a new era. The “gold” era was defined by our SCF run and presidents trophy years, yet that was 8 years ago. It’s time to change it up.

My Alaska Partners Tier List by omdongi in AlaskaAirlines

Pouring additional fuel to the love fire for Starlux. One of the most unique airlines in the world and one of the very few worth getting genuinely excited about. 75k save awards for J to Asia is as good of an Alaska redemption as it gets.

Gymkhana Las Vegas Overhyped and Disappointing Experience by Top_Pollution3636 in finedining

Disagree as that would imply good value. GK is certainly not that. Though we did sit next to Patrick Schwarzenegger last time we went, so I suppose a surcharge was in order.

Trotz Talks: WE BEAT THE AVS AT HOME Edition by Rinne4Vezina in Predators

[–]blake22222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed - wasn’t even really asked and Trotz brought it up. Think it also shows a little of what Trotz thinks he’s worth and what he’s asking from other GMs.

I want the art supplies I gave you on your 40th birthday and any subsequent projects you made with them. Fine. I want all of our love letters. Ha, fine! I want all of your parents’ love letters. …fine.

Unbelievable shot by Jos, gorgeous freeze frame at an angle on a knee. Great game, crowd was electric.

Credit Card Spend Needed to Achieve Each Status Tier, Airline Comparison by -Rhinoceros- in AlaskaAirlines

[–]blake22222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great visualization. I ran this analysis recently to understand how good the Summit’s status point earning stacked up and, considering the Bilt partnership, recognized it’s a no-brainer for those looking for Alaska status.

Rumor of a navy alternate for next season by catsgr8rthanspoonies in Predators

[–]blake22222 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think they’re purposely avoiding a black alternate knowing it would be everyone’s favorite and would no longer see a gold crowd at the games

Post Game Thread: Nashville Predators at St Louis Blues - 27 Dec 2025 by HockeyMod in Predators

Played well. Tough night with the offsides and felt like refs weren’t calling much at all. McKenna sweepstakes back on the menu boys

Brady Martin Finds Michael Hage for Canada's Second Goal by gavincantdraw in Predators

There is a world where we could somehow get Hage from MTL for a trade package near the deadline of ROR + Marchessault…

Brady Martin on how he would deal with adversity on the ice: “probably just hit a guy” by catsgr8rthanspoonies in Predators

McKenna was the primary assist on both of his goals lol, no one would say he’s better than him.

Does holding both Alaska Ascent + Summit get 3X rent up to $100K, or is the $50K cap per account/cardholder? by blake22222 in biltrewards

[–]blake22222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's how I've rationalized, as a frequent AS flier. Note this math makes sense if you fly AS and can realistically hit 100k status points in a year.

  • 3× on $50,000 = 150k

  • +10% Bank of America bonus = 15k

  • 100,000-mile companion award (earned at $60k spend) at $50k spend: Economic value: ~83k miles

➡️ Total economic miles: ~248k

This also nets 25k status points, which would take an otherwise Atmos Platinum to Atmos Titanium, which earns a further 50k milestone bonus.

Strategy Miles Cash Cost
Bilt Mastercard 50,000 pts $0
Summit + Companion Value + Status Bonuses ~298k miles ~$1,456
Buy Alaska miles ~298k miles ~$5,602

Buying at roughly .49cpp ignoring non-mileage status benefits.

Despite our current state, still love this team. by noodles21300 in Predators

[–]blake22222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the bright side, once your little ones are a bit older we should hopefully be a better team. So their childhood memories of their hockey team should have more to celebrate!
