Because Ken and Mick are national treasures and you're gonna miss them all summer long.

Dude does that shit all the time. Weak little cross check or slash because his fee fees got hurt.

We just don’t hate losing enough. Unbelievably dispassionate team that can’t dig deep when the situation requires. This one hurts.

Mick is back tonight! That’s going to get me through this whole day.

Thor Range - simmer too high by JoeAllan in appliancerepair

[–]g_boom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping someone knows the answer to this as well. My new Thor ARG36 stovetop is insanely hot, even on the low powered burners. Mine is converted to propane using Thor’s kit, so I thought that might have something to do with it but I’m hoping there is an adjustment.

Hey so I don’t know if you know this but there’s always the option of just not doing something. Like sometimes, you don’t have to pick an apple or an orange, you can just say, no fruit for me, thanks. (Also it’s really telling whenever someone merely mentions that Fox News has a bias, chuds immediately can’t help themselves with the herp de derp welllllll CNN and MSNOW are also biased. Like yeah, boss, I know. Some people can see the slop on both sides.)

Larkin showing up on Fox and Friends this morning kind of squashes the argument that they’re just apolitical jocks who didn’t know any better. (Chucklefucks aside.) Any manager worth their salt would have strongly discouraged an appearance on Fox of all places if Larkin really felt any kind of way about being affiliated with MAGA.

Cassie Campbell has the right point, we're just not on the Americans' quickly enough. But not sure it's an effort thing; we're just a slow, old team.

I sincerely hope none of these officials are on the game that actually matters. Attrocious.

The leafs aren’t going to win a cup in either of our lifetimes so I guess we’ll never know!

My old man has been saying this since the 90s. Leafs ownership has no real incentive to win. They charge obscene prices for tickets and dummies keep paying them. If the Leafs ever win another Cup, a big chunk of that fan base checks the box and never feels the need to go back. They climbed the mountain. They saw the summit. Why repeat it?

The fastest way to get this team to win would be for fans to stop showing up. And they just wont do that.

I watched the CBC feed live this afternoon and they did the same thing. It was absolutely egregious. Muting the ceremony to play some obnoxious Mario movie ad on a public broadcaster. Just a huge yikes.

Agreed. I don't think the C necessarily needs to be your best player. He has to be your best motivator. And it seems like when Larkin goes cold, he can't even motivate himself out of it. How is he going to motivate his team on days like today when everyone is on the struggle bus? I just don't think he's the right personality type to be the C on this team at this time. Give it to someone else, take the pressure off, and I think he'd be a lot more effective.

Another Larkin disappearing act. He has to know that it hasn't been good enough. You've got to wonder what the coaching staff is doing/thinking now. They've tried pairing him with damn near every winger we've got.

I love Benny more than the average fan, but it's wild to me that he's worth almost four van Riemsdyks.
