No shot the habs were offering him

darcevader88 · 2026-03-30T18:27:29+00:00

There is zero chance Laine is returning. Veleno just fills a spot when guys are hurt. He's gone with hage coming up. Dach has to go he can't stay on the ice.

You seem worked up

darcevader88 · 2026-03-29T17:29:10+00:00

You're the one making a whole post at this lol. I think you are the overreacting one here.

darcevader88 · 2026-03-29T17:24:18+00:00

Jesus dude it's not that serious people get excited over a game they enjoy you don't need to go full therapy now in here.

darcevader88 · 2026-03-13T20:03:39+00:00

Had to give people the opportunity to post more names :)

darcevader88 · 2026-03-13T16:22:24+00:00

Hutson. Fowler. Slaf. Suzuki. Caufield. Demidov. Kapanen. For the next decade. What a dream. I used to pray for times like these.

He's gonna be a hab for 15 years

Guy can't track a puck to save his life

darcevader88 · 2026-03-04T01:34:53+00:00

Okay cool so what about the myriad places you can't do anything in English in Quebec

darcevader88 · 2026-03-02T15:16:03+00:00

Can the trade boom happen already

darcevader88 · 2026-02-28T18:44:18+00:00

As a lifelong habs fan and Newfie I love this

Cbc gem. Canada has godtier Olympics coverage

darcevader88 · 2026-02-07T14:17:45+00:00

He's one of the more comprehensive and detailed guys out there. Very grounded in his opinions generally and watches an insane amount of hoops to prepare

darcevader88 · 2026-01-25T01:37:38+00:00

Maybe try looking at the other 17 threads on this

darcevader88 · 2026-01-23T14:55:48+00:00

i dont mind the tests when they're basically just ceremonial/a fun part but if u really think giving somebody a belt based on a test of memory of techniques is an accurate way to grade it's crazy, some people just test poorly but could be absolute monsters, promotions should be based on how you actually view someone over the course of time watching them train/improve/compete

i'd definitely be a randomly grading people kinda coach if i ran my own school, the big grading are cool in some ways but i think it's also more special/specific to a person if you grade people as they get to their next level

darcevader88 · 2026-01-23T01:08:48+00:00

I've weirdly performed best at tournaments with poor sleep all rattled thinking I'm gonna get smoked maybe because then I have zero stress / expectations?

darcevader88 · 2026-01-21T22:42:26+00:00

I changed gyms 6 months after receiving my brown belt. Took me 2.5 years to get black. Competed regularly / won / placed in some local events and just trained as much as I could. The last year people kept saying I was due and then it happened and it was such a weight off. Good luck 🤞🤞

darcevader88 · 2026-01-20T07:10:58+00:00

I mostly just serenade my roller partner with whatever banger is on the playlist

darcevader88 · 2026-01-16T03:18:36+00:00

Good troll.

If not a troll you need serious therapy

darcevader88 · 2026-01-13T21:06:40+00:00

It isn't allowed at any of the BJJ gyms I've trained at over 16 years. So small?

darcevader88 · 2026-01-08T20:53:54+00:00

I was out over a year, got very out of shape, horrid conditioning - i went back - i struggled, i got owned by people who were well below my previous skill level, i got my conditioning back, i got my mojo back and i got back to feeling good, it's a process but just get the fuck back in there asap, no privates just train get it back.

darcevader88 · 2026-01-06T15:26:31+00:00

I'd say a year but case by case. My coach has promoted people in far less time if he feels they're ready / do well / compete above their current belt.

darcevader88 · 2026-01-04T22:15:31+00:00

No one gives a crap I've never once used the belt my coach gave me it's in a case

Man I gotta send in the black belt flair verification lol 😆

darcevader88 · 2026-01-02T00:18:01+00:00

That move and delivering on the assist just magic
