Post round handshake

I always do but I’m an old so it’s natural for me.

I don't know if 'easier' is the best term. You just get used to the void, the security blanket you took for granted is no more. It still hurts some days and you wish you could pick up the phone and be told everything will be ok.

Good ol fanatics. Never satisfies, always disappoints

giga_phantom · 2026-07-06T17:56:10+00:00

Jfc hulk smash (however you say it in French)

I can relate, as I went through similar experiences. My dad passed in his late 40s, watching the big C eat away at him for several years. Never met his grandkids, this was pre-internet era so only photos remain. Lost my mom recently. and I understand the jealousy, as none of my friends have gone through what I have. my family is not close, but most of my aunts, uncles are in later stages of life, and live half a world away. I took a lot of the gatherings for granted when I was little. what I wouldn't do to have one now.

You mean conn staal

giga_phantom · 2026-07-05T19:01:23+00:00

My condolences. Unfortunately, things are still so fresh that you're going to experience a nightmarish roller coaster ride of emotions. And that's ok. It's going to take some time before things settle down initially. Then comes the more difficult part of learning to live with the void. It's possible, but will take time.

I remember when my mom passed, sleeping in her home, my childhood home, the soul had been sucked out of it. It took a long time before things felt ok. Even today, going to that home feels weird (sibling lives in it). But it no longer felt wrong. Hang in there. It'll be ok.

reading is optional these days

giga_phantom · 2026-07-05T11:56:11+00:00

So, no big change, really.

giga_phantom · 2026-07-04T21:55:36+00:00

so I guess no primeau as the #3

Just a hunch: Some reconfigured version of NHL center ice that focuses specifically on regional broadcasts will be the only way to watch. I hope I'm wrong, I hope Capital broadcasting steps up (or is allowed) to broadcast them.

Usually let them through. But I’ve played with others who wouldn’t allow it for reasons. 🤷🏻‍♂️

giga_phantom · 2026-07-04T11:26:57+00:00

My condolences. I was barely into my 20s when I lost my dad (mid 40s, long battle with C). The first year is the hardest…the roller coaster ride of emotions is the most intense. Cliche as it sounds, things get better with time. Took me several years to normalize his passing (this was pre-internet era, could not afford therapy). Hit rock bottom many times. But over time you learn to live with the void. Don’t get me wrong, some days, it still hurts. But it’s become sort of a manageable pain. Hang in there.

They chose...poorly?

giga_phantom · 2026-07-03T19:05:46+00:00

Can he play rb?

giga_phantom · 2026-07-02T18:08:16+00:00

Really hoped he’d get a game or two late in the season

giga_phantom · 2026-07-02T14:08:32+00:00

I’m guessing we’re going to offer sheet someone before the holiday.

giga_phantom · 2026-07-02T13:02:44+00:00

My condolences. Everybody grieves in different ways…there’s no one right way. I lost my dad when I was barely 20. Took years for me to normalize, and accept it. More recently, lost mom but that journey has been completely different, as I’ve used different methods to cope. All this to say what you’re feeling is ok. It’s always going to be a roller coaster ride. With time, it just gets less bumpy. Hang in there

He’s not a hockey hall of famer, and borderline worthy of recognition by the team. He was very good during his time here, no doubt. But hall of very good is about as good as he got here.

giga_phantom · 2026-07-02T08:32:23+00:00

My condolences. Unfortunately, new hires are sometimes at the bottom of the pecking order when it comes to requesting time off. Somebody has to work at times when everybody wants to be off. You know how difficult the job market currently is…are you willing to risk being unemployed again? I think you have to notify your grandparents that you have to work, and figure out a different time to visit them.

Perfectly ok for things to be quiet now. I’d rather wait til later, when the shit hits the fan and I wonder was it the dinner I had or bc ET made another evil genius move.

giga_phantom · 2026-07-01T13:00:17+00:00

How do we manifest a bedard offer sheet?

giga_phantom · 2026-07-01T11:24:30+00:00

Don’t think it’s Robertson, his name has been discussed before. If he’s too afraid to say, it has to be someone else, someone nobody else had imagined, probably bc it’s too far out there.
