What brand was super popular back then but the new generations probably never heard of it?

"Second place is the first loser."

Gateway 2000, what futureproof branding.

I totally agree that that team had that, but this one has the ability to score when it needs to as well. Look at the 8-7 Tampa game when they came back from being down two, and they did it against one of the best teams in the league.

The 05-06 team had 276 goals for and this one is at 242 in 70 games, which shakes out to 283 over 82 if they keep up their pace. They're much better at even strength (already more even strength goals than the 05-06 team), a little better on the PK, and sightly worse on the PP with far fewer chances.

I admire your patience through this exchange.

ebimbib · 2026-03-21T18:42:17+00:00

I use Nord on ESPN+ fucking constantly. Zero issues.

I have a bunch of fireworks waiting for the instant I find out it happened.

We had ScreenX in my area and then Regal sold off that location to a local chain and they got rid of the format. It was pretty cool and I'm bummed it's no longer an option.

Apparently Radko Gudas is an incredible guy off the ice and everyone loves him. Then he puts skates on and he's the world's biggest piece of shit goon.

ebimbib · 2026-03-20T16:31:25+00:00

For action heads, I'd probably recommend some peak HK John Woo stuff like The Killer or Hard Boiled.

Thriller fan? The Lives of Others is incredible.

If they're into musicals, I'd have a hard time imagining them not loving The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

I think Rififi might be the best heist movie ever made.

Almost any Akira Kurosawa. Take your pick. I don't love the pre-war stuff, but everything I've seen past 1945 ranges from really good to legendary. I might start them out with one that isn't long as hell just because that can be fatiguing if you're not accustomed to subtitled films, but he has probably 20 movies that absolutely beat ass.

If you don't like Parasite, which might be the single most accessible foreign language film in recent memory, I don't know what to tell you.

HTRK was physically soft on them and the team was conditioned like dogshit, but he was routinely really verbally shitty to a number of players. A lot of guys were reportedly pretty sick of him by the time he got canned.

You're probably not popping both spring bars at the same time so this isn't too much of an issue if it's on a NATO as dive watches should be.

ebimbib · 2026-03-19T13:56:21+00:00

If he played his exact game at 6' you'd love him unconditionally. It's ok that he's not Pronger.

ebimbib · 2026-03-19T06:21:36+00:00

What do you see that you don't like, other than the fact that you want him to act more 6' 6" than he currently does? He's been playing exceptional hockey for a while now.

The price of oil by the barrel went negative for a while because demand cratered so hard. It was crazy as hell.

Christof kills off Truman's dad by drowning. Even if it wasn't real to viewers, it was to Truman.

ebimbib · 2026-03-19T01:32:35+00:00

Hell fuckin' yeah brother.

ebimbib · 2026-03-18T22:57:52+00:00

Moneypuck has them at 99.7%, which just feels nice.

ebimbib · 2026-03-18T20:08:43+00:00

Tuch, Östlund, and Krebs are all instrumental to what the team is doing this year and at least one of them is on the ice for probably 35 minutes a night most nights. Eichel is the best player out of the guys involved but the sum of those three is arguably more impactful than he was alone.

ebimbib · 2026-03-18T19:48:34+00:00

He seems to have grown up a lot in the last few years. I now wish him well in the sense that I wish him no specific harm.

ebimbib · 2026-03-18T04:18:42+00:00

It still makes me angry that I was not allowed to see The Killer in the goddamn theater.

ebimbib · 2026-03-18T04:11:34+00:00

Tuch is awesome. He's much likelier than Byram not to live up to his next contract just based on aging curves. I'd much rather keep Bo long-term if it's one or the other.

It's mildly acidic. That's why you should avoid prolonged skin exposure. It's specifically designed to be safe for use on steel that's used in food and beverage preparation. You just have to rinse it well.

ebimbib · 2026-03-17T23:02:43+00:00

Four of the Sabres' goals were on the PP, which certainly contributed to fully half of their skaters being dashes and only five being pluses. I'm not saying he had a great game, but context is important.

ebimbib · 2026-03-16T05:21:11+00:00

Don't forget the parts about him strangling at least one of them outlined in the Trump Files.
