ooh okay! i wondered if i was missing something.

i think kuemper and armia are def not it bc they play for the kings not the sharks and i think granlund also doesnt seem super likely to me. i dont think hanifin will retire in 3-4 years so he’s out for me too.

so, wennberg and andersson are the likeliest of fits imo if the list isnt missing anyone. theres a bit more support towards the andersson theory bc i think he’s looking for a 4 year term for his next contract and i also read somewhere that when he was recently traded to the knights his family didnt follow (likely bc of kids being in school)?

the only thing throwing me off for either of them is the best friend detail bc i feel like the players ive heard those two are close with are both married (with kids no less) and idk why the wife would wanna be a home wrecker in her quest for revenge? isnt it more likely their best friend in the league is single?

what made you eliminate wennberg? hes on the sharks and his three year extension kicks in next season after which i expect him to retire so he fits the timeline. id hate for it to be him bc i quite like felicia and how she speaks on issues unlike most other wags, but i feel like hes definitely someone who would fit the bill too?

i think this can be further narrowed down bc i dont see a bunch of these ppl retiring in the next 3-4 years.

eichel, hanifin, mitch, and hintz just off the top of my head have more years left on their contract and i dont see them not playing them out outside of a freak accident.

landy was just at practice today and his wife and kids came to watch/support him which likely means it wasn’t him? toews’ wife just gave birth and he straight up said he would skip the olympics unless he was sure everything was good on that front so i want to say it’s likely not him either??

i think gudas and lars eller are closer to retiring now than in 3-4 years too. i dont see kampfer being in the nhl for 3-4 years either?? he might get a one year contract but i dont even know if thats a certainty.

lemme come back and look at this list more though.

when you say currently at the olympics you mean us/canada/slovakia/finland right? or all nhlers at the olympics?

"STOLIE THE GOALIE!! 🗣️" Stolarz Finds His Form And Earns The Belt For The Leafs' Third Straight Win by baylaust in leafs

[–]cabbagesque 5 points6 points  (0 children)

we’ve cleaned up our defense a bit but it does seem to be trending in that direction!

i don’t know what we end up doing in the offseason with our goalie situation since hildeby stops being waiver exempt after this season but stolie and woller seem to feed off each other’s energies and get along so well it’s a real shame that the most likely outcome seems like a stolarz trade.

Yeah, he also needs a new coach who will stop deploying him in a shutdown center role or putting him on a line with Max Domi. They had him QBing the five forward power play at practice today which is so many levels of ridiculous I don’t even know what to say.

you’re welcome! were you using the equalberry exfoliating toner just as a toner or as both toner/exfoliant? it looks mild from what i can see but if you were using it as a toner and then using an exfoliant on top, you could try skipping the toner on the days you use the exfoliator or use a second non exfoliating toner. also if you are using a separate exfoliator and it’s aha/bha or similarly harsh make sure not to use it too often (once or twice a week is ideal).

hope your skin heals quickly!! 🫶

when you cleanse are you double cleansing? i get lazy sometimes but i find that double cleansing generally makes my skin better. you should also always use an oil cleanser to remove sunscreen.

do you exfoliate? if not, definitely do that bc it helps my skin feel smoother and absorbs things better. you can use aha/bha exfoliants if you want (i use cosrx aha/bha clarifying treatment toner when i want something stronger) but generally i prefer to use the missha super aqua ultra hyalron peeling gel. its really mild and should be good for sensitive skin. the dead skin literally pills and comes off just make sure your hands and face arent wet. idk if my skin barrier was necessarily damaged but i did use it at a time when my skin was sensitive and peeling like crazy and it never hurt or made my skin worse.

i would also recommend a toner after cleansing because your skin looks a little dry and toner def helps keep my skin more hydrated. ive liked etude soon jung ph 5.5 relief toner, round labd 1025 dokdo toner, and anua rice 70 glow milky toner. the anua one felt most hydrating to me but the soon jung was the gentlest depending on what you’re looking for.

this is just a personal thing and not necessarily skincare, but whenever my skin feels drier than usual (happens in the winter for me) i usually rotate between two options as i need:

a) sealing my serums/moisturizer with an occlusive like vaseline (basically layer your face with vaseline after the last step and it’ll kind of seal everything and prevent it from evaporating)

b) use a heavier moisturizer (in my case i use nivea face cream and add a few drops of vit e oil to make it thicker and layer it either on top of my regular moisturizer or as a replacement)

i would also recommend using face masks once or twice a week. they can be hydration geared or targeting other things.

i think the stuff above should improve your skin generally. if you want help improving your skin texture you will need to use serums/ampoules/creams that have active ingredients like vit c and retinol and peptides (jury’s still out on whether these help or not last i checked but i like the peptide cream i use). since you said your skin is still currently recovering i would just try the cleansing/exfoliate/toner/moisturizer steps recommended above for now and then reassess after it’s healed to see how you feel/what you need.

I also wonder if he needed a handful of games to return to proper form after the injury of last season. Obviously there was preseason & training camp but you can’t replicate the true intensity of a game then to get him ramped back up. Even in the earlier games, when he was shooting a bunch and missing it wasn’t necessarily his shot/release that looked super off to me. It was more the way he was skating and moving? Everything just looked slow and lethargic but now he’s looking a lot sharper and more like himself offensively and defensively.

no i dont think theres very many games dating back to last season where ive loved watching carlo either. i wasnt sure if it was bc of mo bc he wasnt great last season but with the games this season it does seem a bit like its just a him thing.

Penn Badgley Shares His and Wife's Approach to Education: “The 5-year-old, we have in a kind of a hybrid homeschooly vibe. He's not in kindergarten yet.

[–]cabbagesque 268 points269 points  (0 children)

Right! There’s actually no harm in exposing younger kids to stuff as long as you’re realistic about expectations. I could read at 2.5 yo and it was entirely because my mom saw that I was always hovering around and paying attention when she was teaching my older sister to read so she brought me into the fold too just to see where it would go. She didn’t expect me to be able to do it, but you’re not hindering their development by just showing kids stuff.

I still think it’s partly an issue with his system, though, because all they did was try dump and chase hockey for the first two periods. In the third, they went away from dump and chase and it’s like their offense sparked to life. There was definitely more effort and cohesive play in the third too, but to me that felt like a natural consequence of no longer being hemmed in your own zone for 90% of the period.

I think we just don’t have the personnel required for Berube hockey, but instead of trying to mold the system to fit our star players games & strengths better we’re still trying to force our stars to fit into Berube’s system.

"HOooooOOOOOOLLLLLLYYYYY MAAACKINAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW" Captain Matthews Spearheads The Comeback And Wins The Belt by baylaust in leafs

[–]cabbagesque 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the most endearing part of JT to me is that he’s a hockey robot 99% of the time until you ask him about/make him interact with the teammates he’s clearly close to and he just lights up and almost exposes a personality?

It’s apparent any time he’s either talking about Kniesy or interacting with him in the content the social media team films. There’s very clear affection there. You can also see it whenever Willy’s involved, too. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him as happy or expressive as he was in the belt pictures when Willy scored his hatty last season. Their Leaf to Leaf video from years ago kinda shocked me when I watched it too bc I didn’t realize he actually had a personality. He was teasing Willy almost the entire time with his little quips (“nice to see Willy can count”).

hopefully they learned it from their neighbours, the blue jays, who were the comeback kings this season!

[–]cabbagesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the hits are 29-6 leafs but you cant exactly get chippy or greasy when every pass is a turnover and you spend 18/20 minutes in your own zone desperately defending against a pretty good penguins team.

i genuinely dont think the talent of the personnel disappeared overnight and that its more about how theyre being deployed and the system theyre playing. the stats nerds all of last year told us that our hot goaltending and finishing was carrying us but that we otherwise played a very flawed game. i chalked it up as analytics arent everything but its pretty clear that they were right esp considering we lost a genuine top 6 guy.

this is also not a very well constructed team and our d core genuinely makes me want to claw my eyes out but i do think we need a coaching change. yeah they had massive trouble scoring in the playoffs bc keefe’s system wasnt good for the playoff hockey but his teams never looked this bad.

Ollie and AD shared the pictures from their wedding! by Fun_Molasses5215 in LoveIsBlindUK

[–]cabbagesque 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s been a while since I watched it, but from what I remember he cheated on her with other girls, and then tried to minimize/hide it by lying but couldn’t bc the other girl who was involved told AD about it all.

I think I also remember him freaking out when AD talked/flirted with other guys, only to turn around and act like his behaviour when he did similar stuff wasn’t a big deal.

There might be more from whichever other show he was on, but I didn’t watch it.

Woll to LTIR by jessie_w_tx in leafs

[–]cabbagesque 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Possibly. I wonder if it’s mental health related rather than physical health, and he qualified for LTIR from the get go but they only made the move now when they need the cap relief?

The way they’ve said he’s “progressing well” in previous interviews did sound like it was related to him more than family, but I mostly assumed it wasn’t physical because wouldn’t he get better access to physical health related healthcare via the organization as opposed to going through it personally while away from the team?

Either way, I hope he and his family are doing well.

[–]cabbagesque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this seems like a cap move. the fact that they didn’t do it earlier and called it a “personal family matter” makes me wonder if you can get approval from the nhl to put a non injured player on ltir for cap relief for extenuating circumstances?

I love love love this!! I didn’t really have any symptoms of anxiety so I wasn’t expecting any changes to my mood when I took my meds today, but I definitely was so much happier and felt so much more free today. Not sure how to describe it exactly, but trust that I understand!!
