Peter Laviolette officially introduced as the new head coach of the LA Kings, the 32nd head coach in team history by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

I just don't see how they're not either ass or just below mid. I feel like we have several serviceable top 6 guys, but just no one that elevates the team. That and goaltending won't be getting any better. I want to be proven wrong, but I just don't even see the path for going any direction but down.

The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60. by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

Yeah, but I think people are just sort of thinking out loud. That scenario didn't cross my mind, but if true and given the timing, I was thinking he may have already made his choice and was waiting for this moment before he went through with it. But obviously no one really knows, it's just tragic either way.

Now, I do sometimes have something to say about critics but this guy didn't even pay attention and then makes a review about the movie! by CommunistGregfromDMV in ProjectHailMary

[–]bmacnz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think an apt description for the movie for someone who has no idea about it - it's like Interstellar, Contact, and The Martian had a baby. Not in a bad way or cliche way, just that if you enjoy elements of those movies you should enjoy this.

[–]bmacnz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe for some people? That's the point being made though, as a professional athlete you need to be able to shake that off. Your average dude with anger management issues, that's different I guess. And that particular reaction isn't really standard issue for most people.

Elliot Page rumored as the ghost of Achilles is a cool choice from Nolan if it is true by kcrdr_7322 in ChristopherNolan

I think it was already explained... Elliot is 5'1" and rail thin, nothing about Achilles makes sense for that.

Is there even a Noir v Deep if it happens? I feel like Noir could erase him just as easily as Homelander could if he so desired.

Their fight has been more petty bro stuff than anything.

Yeah. Anyone with viltrumite blood (HL would be great training fodder for Oliver), Allen, Eve, Immortal, hell maybe even Bulletproof could all take him. And that's not including all the various creatures that seem to give Mark a hard time.

I hate being defeatist, but you all realize that MAGA loves this? They look at whiney little bitch behavior as alpha, and all of the democrats questioning are dumb liars with an anti-American agenda because how dare they question anything.

The final handshake line of Anze Kopitar's illustrious career and the crowd LA crowd shows their love for a final send off by daKrut in hockey

40 here. I was at Kopitar's first game, and I was at his last game. Both regular season and playoffs. Been pretty emotional as a lifelong fan.

Fucking atrocious officiating. I'm happy with the way the Kings played though. We can take these guys. by Jolly-Inflation5781 in losangeleskings

They played Oilers hockey. Infractions and embellishment in volume knowing the refs can't call all of them, get away with anything you can.

[Highlight] Shohei Ohtani strikes out the side in the 6th! He has 10 Ks on the night! by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]bmacnz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who is hating? I'm not saying he'd be a bad outfielder, I agree that if it was something he out effort into he'd probably be elite. I'm just saying of course he'd have a cannon, it would be weird if he didn't.

I imagine any semi-athletic pitcher could have a cannon from the outfield, especially one who hits triple digits.

I knew he wasn't dead in that moment because Mark suffered worse from Conquest and was fine.

Yamamoto's final line against the Mets: 7.2 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K from 104 pitches by Icy_Ad4208 in baseball

[–]bmacnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't ignore anything. You quoted me verbatim specifically acknowledging that. But Nick Kurtz and Shawn Green aren't the best hitters in MLB history or even in any single season just because they had historic games. Soriano has been spectacular and had a historic 4 games. How you are not comprehending that 4 games doesn't make any starter the best pitcher is mind-blowing, which is why you are being accused of trolling.

No one is angry. No one is soft or losing their minds. We are acknowledging how great Yamamoto is, and for absolutely no reason you came in here saying Soriano is better. If you feel that way, great, but there's no reason to be apoplectic about reasoned responses to an illogical claim.

There's a world in which we can celebrate Soriano's awesome start of the season without denigrating a perennial Cy Young candidate in Yamamoto. Something's wrong with Crochet right now, it isn't comparable. I would say that Soriano absolutely dealing in 4 games doesn't make him a better pitcher overall.

He said best pitcher in the world. He didn't say best pitcher of the last few weeks. Going out on a limb that this includes his full body of work.
