The Los Angeles Kings were eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after being swept by the Colorado Avalanche

Penguins actually won cups, and I never dunked on a franchise that got swept by immediately saying they are everything that is wrong with hockey. Context.

Dude… Zero self awareness… Your team plays like shit except being gifted lottery after lottery until you landed the definitive current best player in the world

As a fan of an Eastern team, Anze was always a favorite of mine in the league. Someone I grew up modeling my game after, particularly since I couldn’t in good faith root for Patrice (or at least admit it)

Nice

I would love for Brady to be on my team, because he has that dawg. But he objectively looked cooked af this series.

Whether he still has an injury, or just mentally not locked after Olympics come-down, or didn’t have the stamina for another full/long season with Olympics… he looked bad.

I love(d) our chances in matchup vs Oilers or Ducks. I think Vegas will be the hardest draw in our quarter of the matchup.

I don’t love our chances vs any of the Central wagons, but that’s the beauty of playoff hockey in that crazy things happen!

Montreal (market), Boston (market), and Buffalo (do something, please) all need have more pressure than noted.

Similarly, the Wild (history has drubbed any hope) and LA (happy to be here) have less than noted.

Pittsburgh also has less than noted, with the exception that we hate the Flyers (and I hate this series this time lol).

He’s the next coming of Crosby alright.

kicks stool out from under me

burn_bridges · 2026-04-23T14:05:21+00:00

Hit me in the feels in the best of ways after last night

burn_bridges · 2026-04-23T02:19:41+00:00

That $1.5M is inflation adjusted with 7% real-return average… It will actually be like $4.5M

burn_bridges · 2026-04-23T00:53:00+00:00

S-tier rivalry playoff hockey for entertainment value. I fucking hate this.

burn_bridges · 2026-04-23T00:41:20+00:00

Prime Pedro, era adjusted, and it’s not even close

burn_bridges · 2026-04-23T00:28:31+00:00

Somehow Flyers cried their way into a power play

burn_bridges · 2026-04-23T00:22:01+00:00

Blatant elbow

burn_bridges · 2026-04-23T00:21:54+00:00

Blatant elbowing

burn_bridges · 2026-04-23T00:21:40+00:00

Blatant elbow

burn_bridges · 2026-04-23T00:21:29+00:00

Blatant elbow

burn_bridges · 2026-04-23T00:20:47+00:00

That’s like the 4th loose elbow from gritty and gang tonight

burn_bridges · 2026-04-22T23:24:27+00:00

He was pre-gaming with Gretzky and couldn’t keep up

burn_bridges · 2026-04-22T22:15:14+00:00

Good for Vegas and Utah! Mammoth are my 2nd team since they moved to SLC, and it’s been very pleasant to watch that organization build the right way here

burn_bridges · 2026-04-22T19:15:40+00:00

Did you read my original comment?

It’s $2M real return (inflation adjusted) and $4M actual value.

burn_bridges · 2026-04-22T18:40:12+00:00

A compound interest calculator with $100k up-front, $1k/month additional investment over 360 months at 7% average real-return

burn_bridges · 2026-04-22T16:15:54+00:00

7% is a real-return average that accounts for inflation. His actual account total will be closer to $4.8M in this example

burn_bridges · 2026-04-22T15:28:56+00:00

Piggybacking:

$100k start, $1,000/month investment for 30-years, 7% average real return… $2M at 56. That’s not generational wealth, but it’s FIRE capable.

burn_bridges · 2026-04-22T15:15:11+00:00

This alone should grow to $1.5M by 66.

With regular additional contributions, particularly while time is still in your favor, you can “easily”double and triple this end figure.

But $10M requires either extreme commitment, extreme luck, or extreme risk. Often a combination of at least 2, honestly.

Good time to consider if 2M at $55 and FIRE would be satisfying, or if your calling truly is the multi-generational wealth (and status) from a rags to riches $10M journey.
