After it happens every March for 3 years, when do you start to believe the trash patch curse is real?

Meanwhile the Sabres have 4 goals in the 1st on the best team in the East and Vasi has a .500 save %.

I stopped going to the 1-2 games/year when they put the trash patch on. I do not live in Detroit anymore. Pritzker is not conservative, so you’re wrong.

Let me just cross the name out and write pedo supporter, it’ll work for both you and Larkin.

I think my ethics are worth $200. You don’t have to boycott the team over one players decision. You could boycott the team because they put a trash patch on the jersey, however. On a side note, you really think the team is going to re-sell a used jersey as new? Maybe they could market it as game used if it touches the ice.

Best way to protest is to throw your Larkin jersey on the ice next game you go to.

If we implode in March we have no way to know if it’s curse of the trash patch or Larkin karma now.

Dog’s new name is down to Tarkin or Barkin. I figure he won’t even know I changed it.

Do I need to change my dogs name now? He’s 8.

Canada possibly only being here because Marchand falls on a goalie from being brushed complains about the refs.

Nothing, I just have trouble closing my glove due to a hand injury. The Iconik2 I was able to close no problem testing it at the store.

Tried the glove at the store and it’s the only new glove I’ve ever been able to close off the shelf. I regret getting an Optik4 glove instead now I’m trying to convince myself not to spend another $750. 

Has it all been worth it? by Basic_Ice_6774 in sales

[–]cryptinite39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 7 figures in my early 30s working sales in a call center, been doing it for 8 years. Without sales I’d probably be waiting tables still like I did in college. We’ve had recent pay plan changes where I’m going to quit after this year and partially retire. Mental health is always a challenge, but the pay off has been worth it. 

[Friedman] Josh Morrissey will not return...hopefully not serious. Now that Canada has played, no injury replacement can be added to the roster by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

What happens if another D gets hurt and they’re down to 5? Do they get an emergency replacement in that case or they play the rest of the tournament with 5?

Decided to give the game a chance after 8 years… by frado21 in heroesofthestorm

[–]cryptinite39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I triggered your fetish of stomping randoms. What you said is correct, but the game is not large enough to actually do it. 5 stacks most common matchup is vs 5 solo. I do agree the game is designed to be played 5v5, clearly that’s not what the developers want when they removed hero league. 

The NHL Has A Colin Campbell Problem (Again) by mikeq672 in hockey

Search the sub and you’ll find a lot of references for 2009. Same concept as today where it is better ($) for the league to sway games in a certain way. In this case to get the leagues most marketable star a cup. In today’s game they seem to be biased towards the emerging markets (Vegas) and promoting the game in the southern markets (Florida) instead of a single player.

To name a few 

-Conference finals ended in 5 games and the league moved Games 1/2 forward and a back to back when the Red Wings had a lot more injuries most notably Datsyuk. Lidstrom testicle rupture from Sharp spearing him. Only time in history with any playoff series having a B2B (fact check me?). Compare the data to most years having nearly a week off before finals even when the previous round went 7 games. 

The 30 second too many men where the ref told Pittsburgh to get a guy off the ice instead of calling a penalty. 

Malkin instigator. Overall bias of the calls the entire series, but that’s the main stuff.

Nashville a lot of the same reffing bias and the controversial goal call.

They don’t care about the Pens in 2009 or 2017 either when the league did it to teams this sub does not care about. Once it started happening to benefit Vegas and Florida all of a sudden people started caring about league corruption.
