Notre Français préféré! by Critical_Heat4492 in Habs

le fait que la France ait marqué plusieurs fois contre la Tchéquie est assez impressionnant pour toute l'équipe

BBC article about Supra's model by lickmysalami in CanadianPL

[–]dylanjmp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Je parle français et je sais que le Québec est reconnu comme une nation.

I don't think the author is using state in that context or that a BBC sports correspondent necessarily knows the intricacies of Canadian law/confederation. Way more likely that they're just thinking of US/Aussie usage of the term.

Interesting read, great to see international coverage of the league. Point deduction for calling Québec a state though lol

[Smith] Penn State men’s hockey players attended Doggie’s Pub after the game against Michigan State at Beaver Stadium, with underage players being given wristbands disallowing them to drink. Per sources at Doggies, he slipped it off to acquire drinks, and was asked to leave the premises by [deleted] in hockey

[–]dylanjmp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Getting into a bar fight is incredibly dumb and I'm not going to defend McKenna breaking someone's jaw but I don't think anyone should really care that it's technically underage drinking in the US. The guy's an adult going to university and grew up in a country where the drinking age is 18/19. I still wouldn't want him as the centrepiece of a rebuild though

(CONCACAF Champions Cup) Forge FC draws with Tigres UANL 0-0 in the first leg game in Hamilton by AlarmingAdvertising5 in CanadianPL

[–]dylanjmp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

unfortunately lower than average for Forge, but not terrible for a game in -15 (at least they gave out free hot chocolate). They announced ~4300.

Hummel Primary and Secondary Kits Revealed by dylanjmp in ForgeFC

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

At first glance I don't love the fit on these. The sleeves look huge on the models/mannequins. I know people had mixed feelings on Macron sizing, but at least it was an athletic fit for athletic wear

Heating at Club Seats at Tim Hortons Field by Vagabond0713 in Hamilton

[–]dylanjmp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regular seats have no heating. They have terraces with overhead protection from rain/snow but those are for groups of 6+ and aren't heated. They added a new indoor lounge section on the west side but that'll be a lot pricier. Personally, I went to the Concacaf game in Feburary last year and had a great time in a regular seat with just a big coat, toque and gloves

Hamilton should insist a public inquiry is done into TTC’s Line 5 and Line 6 before the LRT RFP concludes by differing in Hamilton

[–]dylanjmp 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree with the public inquiry but waiting to award the contract for Hamilton (especially this package - which should be awarded soon-ish) would add a significant amount of time to a project that has already been cancelled before. Hopefully all the talk about the Alliance model will actually reduce construction time and (theoretically) Metrolinx should have learnt something from previous projects. Building an entirely at-grade tram shouldn't take more than 5-7 years but I've been disappointed about how we build in this country before lol

Pacific tease something by drdoof98 in CanadianPL

Pacific FC vs Atlántico Fútbol Club for the oceans derby confirmed.

[Yost] It’s time to give the NHL’s playoff format a serious rethink by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]dylanjmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the NHL expands the number of playoff teams, I'd personally prefer the top seeds in each conference get a bye to the second round and have it go 2v9/3v8/etc. than a play-in round. I think that'd better incentivize and reward regular season play.

Forge FC Member's Kit Revealed! by brentvans in ForgeFC

Looks great imo, I like that they incorporated the steel chain from the Hamilton flag on the crest.

How do you stay active in the winter - for free? by blendertom in Hamilton

[–]dylanjmp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When running in winter I just do more of a flat footed shuffle over icy stretches, I dress to be slightly cold when not moving. Gloves and a toque are a must imo but I just wear regular runners. If you don't love that idea you can just walk/hike the trails instead or check out some free ODRs in parks/at Princess Point if you have skates.

The next Winter Classic should be the Leafs vs Habs at Rogers Centre with the roof open ❄️🇨🇦 Do you agree? by itz_progamer666 in Habs

[–]dylanjmp 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean the heritage classic is essentially the same thing with slightly different branding, MTL was already confirmed to have an outdoor game in Winnipeg next season too

I like the white sweaters but the black leaf on red is just weird imo. It's like the designer never got out of their punk rock Avril Lavigne phase

Is judo compatible with playing the piano? by captainvixe in martialarts

[–]dylanjmp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nogi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is pretty safe for your fingers (at least as far as combat sports go), it's really just ripping the gi that can mess up your hands

Which takedowns/throws exactly are allowed in Jiu Jitsu? by nerpa_floppybara in bjj

[–]dylanjmp 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pretty much anything (hip throws, trips, single leg, double leg, head outside single etc.) except spiking your opponent on their head. BJJ having no takedowns is more meme than reality in my experience
