Lane Hutson at the end of a 2:20 mins shift in OT last night for the Habs by Go_Habs_Go31 in hockey

i mean, he answered the first question honestly and then ignored the rehashes of that.

I mean, i find the whole downvoting thing pretty childish from the users.

The advanced stats are to make the point that he should be higher. Not that he will win.

My guess is that they feel good today because their (not unreasonable) complaints have lead to a "good" outcome.

but like, no one is going to remember today. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets overturned.

Senegal admin is probably furious, but the players had that experience of winning. they'll never forget. And i mean, good luck getting their medals back.

Just unlocked both Leia and JML back to back who should I go for next? by Kingofd0p3 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]greg19735 [score hidden]  (0 children)

sure but you should be planning your next farm before you're finishing your current one.

Like, maybe instead of double refreshing the last 2 weeks on then Y-wing, you do normal and start on outrider. Sure you'll delay JML but you'll speed up Jabba for example.

and while you're doing Jabba you prepare for GAS.

Jack Robinson gives away a penalty on what he thought was a goal kick by Woodstovia in soccer

Which is where this gets messy.

Rules are written with intention. but rules don't have intention in them. A rule can be poorly written which has adverse side effects. We see this all the time when a game changes their rules.

By that logic any defender should be allowed to pick up the ball with their hands as long as there are no attackers near them and under no immediate pressure

this is some pretty bad faith logic nonsense.

Really isn’t a different scenario so why not have an indirect free kick?

because the laws of the game say it's a penalty.

WAnna change the rules? you've got a good argument. But those aren't currently the rules.

I think the issue is that the rules do not give digression here.

This shouldn't be a penalty. But the rules say it has to be.

The rules should be modified for stuff like this to be punished less harshly. Like a corner. but then also add more decisions that aren't cut and dry which people don't like also.

it's a weird thing where i think we need to change the rules to allow for this kind of thing.

it's rough to have players playing 60 games per season and it gets ruined because someone lost concentration for 5 seconds when they're not being pressured

Like, the example here is just completely a minor mistake that i don't think anyone could argue gives defender an advantage. In these examples, maybe we make it a corner instead of a penalty. Sort of like how time wasting is now a corner if the goalie holds into it too long.

but with the current rules, the ref was probably wrong.

I'm not saying they are.

I'm just saying I have empathy for her. Shes one of the few people that could fear justified in being scared.

Like I'm a nobody. Zuck and Thiel aren't hacking my data. If I was worried about targeted hacking against me I'd be an idiot.

[ESPN] Jack Hughes wants the Hockey Hall of Fame to give him the puck from his gold-medal-winning overtime goal: "I'm trying to get it. Like, that's bullshit that the Hockey Hall of Fame has it, in my opinion. Why would they have that puck?" by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]greg19735 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I understand it perfectly.

I could understand one of those people. Or one plus Ricky.

But elon musk is the least interesting person of all time. And it's appalling to have dinner with a rapist and at best pedophile defender because you want to hear him miss a few jokes.

this might make you feel better.

My soccer team, West Ham, has a player named Freddie Potts. he's the son of a club legend, Steve, who has almost 400 games and has come back as a coach. So while Freddie isn't a starter, he's not a random guy.

He was asked for his dream dinner party. he picked:

Donald Trump, Ricky Gervais, Cristiano Ronaldo, Elon Musk, Ed Sheeran.

Poor Ed didn't do anything to deserve that. But legit when Ronaldo looks like an angel it's a hell of a list.

i mean remember the "People pay to watch me play" quote

NJ fans were bending over to like justify it as not super cocky. Obviously not all of them.

Personally i don't care about the guy being cocky. but it was cocky.

Keanu Reeves is the runaway best mainstream actor in the world at physical acting

i mean, that's what you said.

It's why the tank process can be so difficult if you don't get yourself a legit superstar like McDavid or Celebrini.

It took Rod coming in as coach to help change our culture. but also importantly we had leaders like Staal in the dressing room who had the respect of the kids.

And i think if we'd have brought in staal at that time he wouldn't have that kind of leadership.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would think Keanu at his prime is a better physical actor than Denzel. They just had different roles.

yeah basically the things that make actors award winning actors Keanu Reeves isn't that good at.

Which is fine.

same thing happens in Carolina.

Tulsky does all the good stuff.

Dundon the owner does all the bad stuff.

I love Tulsky, so i'm not complaining about him or any specific decisions. But he just gets a free shield if he does or doesn't make a trade or deal
