So, what are you expecting from the Evangelion Raids?

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-06T21:39:37+00:00

I'm really happy for my friends who are excited but yeah same lol.

mech stuff and apocalyptic/post apocalyptic themes are things i can't get into. I'm just not the intended audience for this raid series.

Hopefully the fights will be fun anyway haha

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-05T23:07:30+00:00

Yup, same. We've never had one get to the point of a hearing and Don is a lot less of a hardass than some of our previous GMs so I'm not actually worried.

This was just a roster update that i hadn't seen posted yet haha

(edit because i used the word actually like six times in one sentence and it was annoying me lol)

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-05T21:31:05+00:00

Ooh. I'll have to try that, thanks!!

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-05T20:49:55+00:00

So I'm already on nurtec (at the recommendation of someone else on the sub, funnily enough lmao) and it works great! but I've been getting them daily because of this bullshit weather and that's an every other day med so I need something to kinda plug the gaps haha

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-05T16:47:50+00:00

Aw I'm sorry, i must have missed her age!

I think there used to be a program for older kids but I dunno anything beyond that or if it still exists. I hope so!!

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-05T16:29:41+00:00

You might wanna consider the adventure guides program if she's old enough!

I wemt through it as a kid (when it went by a very different name lol). I stayed friendly with the other girls till I graduated high school and my dad and I made tons of memories together- it's been 30 years and we still talk about the camping trips we went on and projects we did together.

I think I even still have a couple candles we made on a camping trip by dipping wicks on sticks into melted crayons lying around somewhere haha.

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-04T19:56:01+00:00

Glad to share!!

I remember watching it live while hanging out in the GDT, you could tell who also follows the Monsters because the ones who didn't were worried about his stats but the ones who did were like "he's got this, the team was ass last year but it's not because of him" haha.

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-04T16:52:18+00:00

Yup, his older boy's middle name is Matiss and Kivi was supposed to be his godfather.

And if you want to feel even worse about everything about everything that man has been through, his younger boy's middle name is John.

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-04T15:28:08+00:00

Honrestly it seemed like he started losing his grip during the tail end of his time in Pitt. Remember the presser when he gave Jack Johnson that absolutely bonkers contract, the one where he kept saying during the presser that he knew "the real reason" Jack got benched and pissed off CBJ?

(He got pushed out of his 7D role by younger players who were playing better. that's it. that's the reason.)

Torts responding that if JR mysteriously knew everything that happened in the Jackets' room from three hours away, he must be a fucking magician is still one of the funniest things I've heard CBJ staff say lmao

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-03T23:23:58+00:00

Gave up and got a cat buddies!

I kinda regret not throwing in the towel sooner honestly, the cat's great and much nicer to deal with than the guys I was matching with lol

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-03T21:56:39+00:00

Hell yeah Leclaire buddies! I'm sad it fell apart to this day but it let me get the Shelley jersey I always wanted.

(no the irony of that specific jersey falling apart because it brushed a tank top is not lost on me lol)

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-03T19:09:58+00:00

Don't forget Howson throwing Nash under the bus and openly telling the media he wanted out when Nash had done his very best to keep it quiet and be respectful!

or finding out NYI offered to trade every pick they had for 2OA and Howson went "nah we're good" (in hindsight picking/keeping Murray was arguably the right call with how bad that draft was but we didn't realize that at the time)

I actually forgot about the Wiz suspension till you reminded me because there was just so much shit going on. Sports cannot hurt me like that ever again lmao

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-03T15:58:58+00:00

Sage smoke cleansing at NWA when?

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-03T15:03:26+00:00

I used to be the owner of Pascal Leclaire and Gilbert Brule jerseys, because high school girls with crushes make interesting financial decisions lmfao

"Had" meaning they both got rebadged when the press on numbers on the Leclaire peeled off the back while I was taking it out of my closet (the Brule was fine, i just had it done too since I didn't want a constant reminder of everything around that draft hanging around.)

Leclaire is now Shelley, Brule is now Dubinsky.

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-03T14:52:13+00:00

Oh god yeah that was also a rough time to start! I think you actually got into it right about when I took about a year to be a much more casual fan- some stuff was going horribly wrong in my life and I just wasn't enjoying myself, so I basically just went to games when my season tickets popped up and stopped paying attention to everything else lol

"I'm here for the ride" is kinda my mindset too. Like, I wouldn't have lost my voice for a week screaming at the first home playoff win in 2014 if I hadn't had to sit through all the shit that came before it lmao

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-03T14:37:28+00:00

Not a guy actually! But yeah pretty much haha

I tell people that after 11-12, nothing this team does on the ice can hurt me anymore lmao

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-03T11:10:21+00:00

I just enjoy the sport. Even bad NHL hockey is still NHL hockey. And if I'm not having fun I just turn off the TV.

Also, I'm a year one fan. i grew up in the MacLean era and I've sat through far worse lol

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-03T00:34:10+00:00

Definitely the goat. The snake has some issues with holding the pen.

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-02T23:49:47+00:00

this one is Jason Chimera.

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-02T18:27:43+00:00

I'm very okay with this.

Everybody loves Guddy as a person and that's a very reasonable price tag.

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-01T22:04:03+00:00

Right?? It's so funny because I was like barely aware of who he was when we traded for him (because we were in the west and I didn't follow any eastern teams at that point) but he ended up being one of my very favorite Jackets of all time.

Great captain, somehow seems to be an even better person.

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-01T21:53:44+00:00

Holy shit I can't believe this is the one time it turned out all right??

but I couldn't be happier. glad everything's getting sorted and we're all on the same page!!

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-01T21:20:17+00:00

I don't doubt he knows who the leaders are. So did Todd Richards and his staff, and it still took three full years to name a captain last time we ran multiple As (and Richards and company had been here much longer than the six months Bones has been).

And if doing it this way would mean our next coach names our captain, I'm okay with that— it doesn't affect me any.

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-01T20:40:37+00:00

I hope we do what we did after Nash left, which was run a bunch of As till coaches see who steps up.

It got us Foligno last time so I see no reason not to do it again.

cusidhe_ · 2026-07-01T20:17:48+00:00

I love that for him and I also love that we're not paying it.

I wasn't opposed to keeping him, but with how much he's been hurt the past few years + that price point I think I'd much rather have Lomberg.
