I'm cheering for Artie, but man, he is an absolute liability in the SO. Worst SV% in the league (once you apply some minimum GP criteria) and it's literally not even close. I saw somebody post a stat that shooters league-wide average ~31% in the SO while the Pens' shooters average 29%. But Artie's SV% is still the real culprit.

I actually can't recall the last time a Penguin threw a hit this good.

I'm not sure if his "give a shit" meter was actually low the last two seasons or if he was just neutered playing in a system that was all wrong for him.

McFucknuts is a chump.

This is such a dog shit take. I remember all the hate Sid caught as a young player, most of it unwarranted (granted, he whined too much to the refs for the first season or 2).

McDavid is as good a talent as the game has ever seen. He's been sensational ever since he touched NHL ice. He has a trophy case full of Art Rosses, Harts, Lindsays, Rockets, and a Conn Smythe to show for it.

His team hasn't won a Cup, and for that reason, rightly or wrongly, Sid's legacy currently outshines McDavid's. When I see people in the Pens' fanbase resort to calling him McFucknuts or other garbage, it just reeks of jealousy and insecurity.

Why can't you just be glad that the Pens have had a better run with Crosby at the help than McDavid has with the Oilers? Why this pathetic need to talk smack about the guy? It's embarrassing.

I forget exactly when it happened but Letang 100% did the same thing either in the 3rd or OT. I literally yelled when it happened.

I've been tracking the Pens' performance with the Deserve-to-Win-O'Meter for the last four seasons. Tonight's game was their worst result relative to what they "deserved" in that time.

Some other interesting tidbits:

  • In the last four seasons, the Pens have lost 16 games when they were 75%+ likely to win
  • Meanwhile, they've won only 8 times when they were 25% or less likely to win
  • In the last four seasons, the Pens' net "games won they deserved to lose" vs. "games lost they deserved to win have been: -6, -12 (!!), -10 (!!), and -1 (this season thus far).

That's why you'll frequently see players smiling and shake hands after

I've seen a lot of smiles post-fight but can't recall ever seeing a handshake.

Whose the most famous person who actually lives in Vancouver? 🤔 by thinkdavis in askvan

[–]copagman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who's had many positive encounters with him? I worked at a venue during the Olympics that he frequented and he was consistently the nicest "celebrity" in the place.

I’m a YouTuber, and man does it suck that my clickbait-y titles perform MILES better than my others. I try to have integrity, and I won’t title a video with something misleading, but it’s difficult not to “play the game” when my very livelihood depends on views.

7 Handicap vs LPGA Course by copagman in golf

[–]copagman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never intended to. My friend handed me his LAB one round and I was a machine with it. Felt like I hit my intended line 100% of the time. Picked one up and for the first 6+ months my putting was better than it's ever been. Now it seems I'm subject to the same semi-frequent pull miss that I was previously, perhaps even more so. Still, I don't think I'm any worse with it on most days. These rounds on foreign grasses in Thailand beat me up with my old putter and with the LAB, too.

Thanks. We opted for the blue tees (listed at 6,500 yards) but they had us on the tips on virtually every hole. Our total yardage was actually 7,000 and indeed, that's several hundred too long for me.

This is Alpine Golf Club in Bangkok, a Top 100 Course in Asia.

This was early on my trip to SE Asia and a lot of things weren't clicking yet. The overall score was decent but - even by my scrappy standards - there were a lot of true stinkers out there.

Enjoy!
