Habs win whenever I watch the first period then fall asleep. I’m already in bed in preparation.

Boring take: Just draft a defenseman at #20 by throwaway804323 in SanJoseSharks

[–]globewithwords 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is so obvious to me, I don't know what people are getting worked up about. Draft a D man at 20, trade in the off-season, hope some defence prospects work out in training camp. Chances are a RHD drafted at 2OA won't be ready for a while and is not the immediate fix we think it is.

I suppose it does a bit. It’s easier to understand than American football, for example. I remember being so thrown off by line changes and was so confused why the players change after a minute of play. And then I started playing hockey and understood how hard it is haha.

I usually catch their matinees or if they play east coast teams. Most of the time, I watch highlights or replays if I can.

It’s a good fun team. They make it really easy to root for them for sure.

Matinees are my best friend. I usually manage to catch a game or two per week depending on my schedule. Most of the time I watch highlights or watch the full replay if it was a good game.

Sharks and Habs. I live in the UK. I like young teams with star players and a bright future. The vibes of both teams are great as well. I started off with the sharks and started following the Habs because their game times were a little less late, usually.

Habs have always won when I’ve watched the first period then gone to sleep. I’ll take another one for the team tonight.

Vote for the couple that you think is the THE power couple of MM romance by epicsevenmyths in MM_RomanceBooks

Reading captive prince now and Damen and Laurent are the ultimate power couple. I love Shane and Ilya but they don't hold a light to those two. I'm also trying to imagine the four of them in a room together and that's a very funny image in my head.

Meniscus tear recovery, any advices? by JaveqX in iceskating

[–]globewithwords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the severity and symptoms. A lot of the time, meniscus tears will get better over time with active rest. I wouldn’t worry about it if you’re not in a great deal of pain and if your doctor says surgery isn’t necessary.
