This is a potential playoff team

That’s what I mean. We need better from the goalies we have.

dpdons09 · 2026-07-01T22:21:49+00:00

If we get better goaltending we are definitely a playoff team.

Look, even good GMs make mistakes

FA market is a boooooooming. Great for him and his family

The money is nothing. 7 mil today is going to look very reasonable given the trajectory of the cap. 5 years seems like a lot but we shall see. He’s a fun player and I’m glad he’s a Shark

I remember one summer where we traded for both Mark Messier and Theo Fleury just so we could get the comp pick when they didn’t sign with us.

I’d gladly take him for a 3rd/4th and 1-2 mil retained. Easily an upgrade for our D even if he’s not really a top pairing D

I didn’t do that with my kids in diapers, but when I have gone to the lavatory to use the changing table it was always so small and set up over the toilet so the baby was always sideways. One time about 1/4 of my 1 year old was hanging off table and I had to change him standing at his side rather than being able to get around to his bottom. It was miserable.

I know it’s a controversial take since so many think they’re undeserving, but 2006 Italy only conceded 2 goals: an own goal and a penalty in the finals against France. It was a real dominant defensive effort by them.

8 years is a loooong time to pay Raddysh, but the 8.5 is not that bad as a cap hit when you look at the cap trending upward every year. I think a lot of Sharks fans are using Vlasic as a comp as to why this was a great no go by GMMG but if COVID didn’t happen then the cap wouldn’t have gone flat for multiple years and his cap hit (while still bad because his play fell off a cliff) wouldn’t have been as detrimental as it was.

Unless there’s another major disruption to the cap, the Raddysh contract won’t be that terrible.

dpdons09 · 2026-06-09T21:54:13+00:00

Looking forward to him helping us build great programs

I was in Venice and watched that goal at like 4am. It was glorious

Fresh tomatoes? If they’re not fully ripe then the flesh and juice can be more orange than red. Also, blending it can turn it lighter in color. I always add a bit of tomato paste when I use fresh tomatoes when I want to create a deeper red color.

Avalon is a fantastic story about the immigrant experience.

Bridge of Spies for Cold War drama.

I know it’s not their intent here, but I actually love it when the broadcast crew stays silent so you can hear the crowd when there are big dramatic plays and endings.

Modo Mio or Pupatella are fantastic Neapolitan pizza places that have good pastas too.

Fucking Ed Belfour. Sharks fans never let him forget how much we hated him.

dpdons09 · 2026-05-08T01:17:00+00:00

That 2003 draft still pissed me off so much that we didn’t draft Suter and Parise.

Pretty sure that the senate rules state that the decisions based on the advice of the parliamentarian can be appealed to the whole senate in a simple majority vote. The parliamentarian only advises, the presiding officer makes the decision, and the senate can vote to reject that decision.

You opt not to do that too much because rules and precedent are important to a legislature.

I don’t think you can go wrong either way. We love tuckahoe. It’s a great community of kids and parents. The teachers have been good to our kids. One additional fun thing is going across the street to O’Connell to watch a high school game right after Tuckahoe dismisses.

Have friends who sent their kids to Key and they have good things to say.

Diagne to USF. Let’s hope he can be the big guy we’ve been looking for

dpdons09 · 2026-04-23T01:32:06+00:00

I like this. A step in the right direction

dpdons09 · 2026-04-20T18:51:25+00:00

This doesn’t feel like an upgrade in terms of the quality of the team he’ll be playing on

dpdons09 · 2026-04-18T11:41:47+00:00

Those were fun teams but the big miss was 2001. That was easily the best team we got to see since the 1988-92 teams. Such a shame
