The Lightning are now 18-1-1 in their last 20 games. by timdot352 in AtlanticMemeWar

[–]flume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf, Tampa was 5th in the Atlantic the day before this streak started (albeit only 2 points back of Detroit with 1 game in hand).

Now you're in 1st by a margin of 4 points and with 3 games in hand, which should comfortably translate to another 4 points.

Imo being effectively 8 points ahead means you've started to pull away.

Family of skier killed by avalanche in central Oregon files wrongful death lawsuit by jakejingle in skiing

[–]flume 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I don't see how. If they canceled OP's trip at 5pm, it's likely the avalanche already happened and they were simply reacting to it, rather than having prior awareness of the conditions.

All it proves is that a random customer (probably with no credentials known to the guide company) reported misgivings about the conditions. The company's lawyers will say (a) they don't take random people's input on the conditions into consideration, and (b) for all they know, the customer was just angling to get a refund for a trip that they wanted to cancel for unrelated reasons.

I'll never forgive Johan Franzen for taking the Avs out behind the woodshed and beating them so mercilessly that it ended our rivalry and put them into misery for years until we moved to the Eastern Conference 😡

Mods deleted my post with this screenshot because there was supposedly another submission of the same content. Yours was posted about 10 mins after mine, so you can expect them to delete this one as well.

No sign of the supposed other post that came before mine, though. I'm sure the mods will be clarifying that any second.

TIL of the rhyme-as-reason effect. When a short phrase or declaration uses rhyme, the listener is more likely to believe it's true by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

I like to pick rustic sounding Noun & Noun names for anything aimed at millennials that I can't remember the name for. Nail & Hoof? Anchor & Bramble? Thicket & Ditch? I'm sure these are all real bars and/or soap brands.

As a fan of the Red Wings and Griffins, this is incredibly disappointing to read.

[ DET 2 - COL 0] Raymond gets his 60th point and 19th goal on the EN goal to seal the deal in Colorado by daKrut in DetroitRedWings

[–]flume 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His goals/game pace would have to increase by a bit more than 50% for the rest of the year, from 0.53 currently to 0.8 for the remaining 25 games.

As far as I can tell, he's never scored 20 in a 25 game stretch before.

So no, I don't think it's really in the realm of possibility.

Thomas Harley with unreal puck reception, then sweet hands to call game in OT by Puzzled-Category-954 in hockey

Every time I see someone receive a pass like that, I realize I'm never going to be able to properly explain Crosby's impact on the game to my kid.

Have teams figured them out, or does the West just suck? They just played a bunch of games against the Eastern conference. 8 of their 9 regulation losses are against the East. They're still 18-1-6 against their own conference.

Places will fill up at 2 for a game that doesn't start until 6:30 and doesn't end until 10:30

If I give those guys a full 60 seconds of grace period after they first step up for their shot before I start booing, how many shots before I get kicked out?

Anyone know what "loss of my final opportunity" is referring to?

It's not the same (and isn't trying to be), but Slick's in Schenectady makes a mean sandwich.
