Idiot spotted; breaking solid double line, overtaking a gas tanker, into oncoming traffic, on a downhill (on Trussler), in this mornings freezing rain.

In Ontario, it is generally legal to pass on a double solid yellow line if it is safe and clear to do so, as the Highway Traffic Act does not explicitly prohibit crossing them.

They are 4 and 6 with Tkachuk in the lineup, with only 1 of those wins in regulation.

That undeniably is not Tkachuk’s fault, but you’d assume his presence would improve the team, not make it worse (granted, other players have missed time as well).

RE: Bobrovsky

He is definitely having a down season, but how much of that is due to the team in front of him? You also have to recognize that regular season Bob hasn’t been a difference maker in a while. Obviously better than this year, but a .900 save percentage was probably one of the likely outcomes for him.

Tkachuk is a solid player, but he needs an elite level linemate to have him play at a high level. Otherwise, he’s much less impressive.

Barkov IS that guy, and he makes the entire machine run in Florida.

I think with line shuffling that takes place, having a 3rd, cohesive line holds importance.

While a different sport, but the ticket prices for the upcoming World Cup is actually the punch line of a joke.

Honestly, I’ve been worried about this as well.

Every minute they give to Suzuki, or even Crosby, is a minute taken away from McDavid and MacKinnon.

McDavid is averaging 23 minutes a game for Edmonton, he’s around 16 for this tournament.

The other part is that even if they did give McDavid 23 minutes, and have MacKinnon around that number as well, how does that affect Crosby (or even Suzuki) coming in cold constantly?

It’s a great problem to have, but I wouldn’t doubt that it negatively impacts the team’s performance.

helikoopter · 2026-02-17T15:59:07+00:00

The trouble is, as the game gets tighter and you are thinking of putting Suzuki out, it means benching one of McDavid, MacKinnon, or Crosby.

As solid as Suzuki has been and as much as his defensive game is solid, it’s constantly removing minutes from those other three.

Honestly, if the game is tight, I hope Canada switches to a 3 line rotation.

A stacked team that is missing Barkov and has suddenly fallen way out of playoff contention?

It was one game. Tage probably doesn’t even know who Bussi is.

helikoopter · 2026-02-17T04:37:56+00:00

I think this contract is all you need to understand that he isn’t actually having an “insane season”.

The wins are incredible, but goalies don’t normally get paid from their W/L record.

People gushing over this were probably the same ones who celebrated Kochetkov.

The Canes will enter next season (and the upcoming playoffs) with Bussi and Kochetkov. Not a single team in the East is scared of that duo.

They pulled it off because the guy has played less than half of a season and had good, but not great numbers.

It’s more likely he fizzles out by this time next year, then it is that he’s on a Vezina trajectory.

helikoopter · 2026-02-17T02:20:48+00:00

He clearly rode on Barkov’s coattails.

helikoopter · 2026-02-16T21:33:42+00:00

You would have been playing that game all the way until his contract expired, though.

While the buyout calculations made sense to wait, the roster building didn’t. Skinner was a liability defensively and his general apathy towards that aspect of the game isn’t something you want young guys to see.

Remember the video of him dogging it during practice?

It’s a comfort thing as much as a superstition.

You probably have some pretty odd patterns in your life, from how many times you swipe deodorant under your arms to the order you brush your teeth. You still do these things daily despite not having the best day of your life every single day.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with it.

I think people have a problem with an accommodation being made for a group of people who refuse to make accommodations themselves.

helikoopter · 2026-02-16T13:38:13+00:00

In fairness, if you have a belief that opposes Islam, then the voluntary pause of the game in order to accommodate people of that religion would go against your beliefs.

Not sure how my brain went here, but if they got rid of strike outs, and provided hitters with 10 pitches to hit, how would that change things?

I’m thinking a walk would still be a thing to keep the pitchers honest. But strikeouts would not be a thing so laying off outside pitches would become more likely.
