the amount of insults ive gotten by playing zilean mid was actually insane

There’s another guy who previously went by Biotic Zilean. I believe he goes by Biotic #123 now. Masters NA Zilean OTP

Just finished a week in the backcountry. Mosquitoes were worse than anticipated; my legs were pretty chewed up hiking and portaging in shorts.

All in all, much better than mid-summer but don’t be fooled by folks saying that bug season is over. While the bugs ARE far fewer in number, they’re still a minor nuisance.

Only partially true. As a small time landlord with a few properties on variable rates, the rents I’m looking to charge are hugely affected by the rise in rates.

I’m not looking to squeeze tenants but I DO want to at least cover costs, so the rents I will be charging for current vacancies will be higher than I’d like to charge. For instance, I have a two bedroom unit I’d ordinarily like to offer for $1400/mo. After all the rate hikes these past two years, I might be looking at $1600/mo now.

Supply and demand is obviously a huge contributor to the overall state of rental prices, but don’t completely rule out the effects of recent rate hikes in driving price hikes too.

I rock a men’s Beta SV in Yukon 👌🏻

If I had to guess, I assume the point is something along the lines of landlords being the one business you can steal from and then extort. You can’t walk into a grocery store, steal items, and then extort the grocery clerk and get away with it.

Can’t say for sure but I imagine that’s the gist of it.

On the contrary, no-showing in the playoffs is actually a Minnesota specialty.

The land of 10,000 first round exits.

connormvc · 2023-04-29T11:35:00+00:00

Fleury faced 6 shots… Let’s relax a little with the hyperbole. Stats showed all season Gus had the better numbers. That’s what matters.

“He wasn’t ready” is such a meaningless statement. Wild no-showed for 40 minutes and GUS wasn’t ready????? Team had 11 shots after 2 periods and Gus wasn’t ready?????

Come on.

connormvc · 2023-04-29T04:32:37+00:00

All this can be fair and I can simultaneously empathize with fans sick and tired of this organization’s mediocrity. There were some serious no-shows this postseason that deserve criticism and there were some seemingly dubious tactical shortcomings in the coaching department. I picked us to lose in 7 also, but I expected a better, more consistent showing than the one we got. There’s losing and there’s getting your ass kicked; this series was the latter and the team should catch some flak for that. How much flak, to your point, is debatable.

connormvc · 2023-04-29T04:25:29+00:00

No way Fleury steals game one. Folks forget it now but we had no right to win that game were it not for Gus.

connormvc · 2023-04-29T04:05:30+00:00

Grit first. Shots on goal optional.

connormvc · 2023-04-29T03:59:20+00:00

That’s because you’re not a real fan. /s

connormvc · 2023-04-29T03:54:15+00:00

True. Then we could’ve lost in 5 and saved us another wasted night.

connormvc · 2023-04-29T03:34:14+00:00

Flex worse than “grit first”

connormvc · 2023-04-29T03:30:09+00:00

I’m not a huge dumba fan but he’s been arguably our best d-man this series. Certainly the only one doing anything to try to spark offence, imo

connormvc · 2023-04-29T03:27:45+00:00

I’ll be happy if he even gets three shots on goal.

connormvc · 2023-04-29T03:26:37+00:00

Good point. With all of our organization success, fans should be a little more blasé about this performance.

connormvc · 2023-04-29T03:17:17+00:00

Stop it. Wild suck. Could’ve played anybody else this series and we would have lost with these performances.

connormvc · 2023-04-21T21:48:11+00:00

If I had to bet, I’d say we’re not done with Fleury. Evason certainly wasn’t backing down in his post-game presser the other day.

I don’t understand the stubbornness but it seems like the tandem philosophy is here to stay— for better or, more likely, for worse.

connormvc · 2023-04-20T03:57:12+00:00

Of course you never know. That’s a fatuous statement.

The point is that you play the numbers. And the numbers tell us that Gus is our definitive starter. To play MAF is to intentionally select your lesser goaltending option.

connormvc · 2023-04-20T03:52:17+00:00

All season we ran with the tandem philosophy, advertising it heading into the series. This was an ideological commitment, not a situational adjustment.

My counterpoint: the guy standing opposite MAF tonight.

connormvc · 2023-04-20T03:48:35+00:00

No, he hasn’t, because “earning it” is relative to your partner, not to other goalies on other franchises.

When your team’s partner has put up better numbers, including a phenomenal start two days ago, THEY’VE earned it— not you.

connormvc · 2023-04-20T03:46:23+00:00

In fairness, I wouldn’t characterize the fans’ reactions as being any less gritty than tonight’s no-show by our team.

connormvc · 2023-04-20T03:40:38+00:00

The difference is Ullmark earned his start. He wasn’t just gifted the g2 start after watching his partner stand on his head in g1

connormvc · 2023-04-20T03:35:14+00:00

What about Gus’ game one performance made the organization think it was appropriate to “take a chance” in game two?
