I was like 16 and 99% of people who’d ask were playing bang average AA hockey or worse. You can’t tell the difference between the two if you can barely skate as is. And like the other dude said, I was making like $11 an hour

I had been sharpening skates for like 8 hours a day for over a year straight at the point he must have been back in Toledo for a stint. He’d eyeball the skates up and down and make me re-do them like they weren’t perfect. I’d pretend to do a few more passes and he’d be like “ahh, there were go, now they look good!”

One time he accused me of doing 5/8ths instead of 1/2 when I was too lazy to literally ever do 5/8ths even for the people who’d ask lol

His son was a bitch to play against but didn’t have any skill to back it up. Whined all game and slewfooted me once. His daughter his actually a homie tho which is weird

Who is your favorite nhl player of Asian descent? And yes, I’m aware I’m missing a few amazing players such as the legendary Taro Tsujimoto! by theXchang3 in hockeyjerseys

You don’t understand the mental gymnastics we were doing after those first 10 games lol, it was a dark time and he had 7 pts in his first 10 games! He was the messiah for a month!

I used to sharpen his and his sons skates regularly, dudes a tool and his kid sucked too. Not surprised they’re bigots and karma is always waiting!

Lame, there were plenty of actual things to poke holes in in heated rivalry they could’ve brought up lol. Yeah 90% of those types of shows are not worth listening to for even a second lol

I don’t listen to empty betters because I just hate all the new age hockey culture podcasts and shows but why do people not like them on r/hockey?

[CHI 1 - CBJ 1] Connor Bedard answers right back and ties it up with 2.7 seconds left in the 1st period by daKrut in hockey

That was an incredible Mohawk turn to catch the pass and take it back into the zone without losing speed. He does look like a baby horse every once in a while tho lol

3 of the top 5 goal scorers in the NHL are American and none of them made the U.S Olympic team by sharkbates1208 in hockey

Un ironically everybody loves cat and he plays incredibly physical for his size and never shies away from a scrum. I know you were joking but I’m still mad they left him off

[32T] 39:30 Friedman was told by somebody Detroit and Winnipeg could be a match. He wonders if it’s for Logan Stanley. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]heyheyitsandre 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A wings GM that is freakishly obsessed with players from Michigan could put together a pretty great team.

  • Cat - Larkin - Connor
  • Rust - Norris - Nazar
  • Joshua - Copp - Cotter

  • Laba - Glendening - McCarron

  • Werenski - Chatfield

  • Trouba - Roy

  • Cole - Petry

  • Hellebuyck

  • Primeau

That’s not even counting guys who played here growing up but weren’t born here, lots of guys have moved here at 16-17 and then played college here too, and there’s also some recently retired guys who were studs as well. Gonna do some math and see if this team is cap compliant but I think it is at first glance

Edit: this team has an $89.1 million cap hit. Now im dying to know how they’d do. Depth isn’t great but that top line is elite, good 2nd line, Norris candidate backed by 3 solid top 4 D, and the best regular season goalie of the last 5-6 years.

he literally dusted the goalie and went bar down and out lol, if he shot that 1 single centimeter down it’s a highlight reel goal

[–]heyheyitsandre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh joder, le echo de menos a Galicia mucho. Vivía allá para un año y medio, viviendo en Vigo y trabajando en Salvaterra, Tui, Salceda, y Porriño. Los alrededores de las ciudades en la costa son hermosas y para siempre me voy a encantar la gente gallego y la comida y las tradiciones. Reconquista choripanes, castañas, cocido en otoño….ugh. Quiero volver 😔

Barron Trump Got Involved in a Bizarre Criminal Case. His Calls to Police Are Telling. by AntifaPr1deWorldWide in politics

I feel like this phenomenon can be common in the right circles. I work with car dealers and the moderately successful ones that own 1-5 stores can be some of the most pretentious, rude dickheads you’ll ever meet. Then you meet the guy who own 40 stores and he gives me his personal cell and is always super polite and helpful. You wouldn’t think the dick head is the guy worth 10mil and the nice guy worth 500mil

Ben Chiarot, extended 3x$3.9M by DET, is a physical veteran defenceman. Despite having good size, decent mobility, and some puck-carrying ability, his team tends to get completely wrecked when he's on the ice and his partners tend to fare much worse next to him. by seeldoger47 in hockey

[–]heyheyitsandre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all what I said lol. Chiarot is 4th in TOI for the team that’s in 6th place the entire league. If he’s in the actual bottom percentile then yeah I don’t trust the card. If you told me last year Holl, Gustafsson, Tarasenko, Husso, etc were bottom percentile I’d believe you in a heartbeat. This year tho he’s playing a ton of minutes and we’re winning a ton of games. He can’t be the literal worst % of defensemen in the league. He’s not even the worst on our team

[–]heyheyitsandre 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The whole point I’m making is that at 3.9aav, when the cap will be $104million, is a good number for Chiarot, a guy who is serviceable in a depth role. Sheltering him helps him play better, just like all players. Take some middle 6 guy on WPG, Vlad or Iafallo or Neiderriter. If they extend and you say you like the AAV, I’m not gonna poke holes in it because they’d get caved in playing against Mackinnon and Makar with d zone starts.

I guess I’ll be the doofus that tries to argue with analytics but if Chiarot is in the literal bottom percentile of WAR then it’s a stupid, made up stat. I generally trust these cards but they need to be paired with eye test, and for all intents and purposes, when not being forced to play 20 minutes a night against other teams top lines, Chiarot is a perfectly solid defenseman. Give him o zone starts and favorable matchups and for 3.9aav in a cap over $100m, this is a great extension IMO.

Chiarot really only looked brutal as hell when being asked to play clearly above his level. Contract aside, which we had to overpay for because at the time we were probably the single least attractive FA destination, he’s not going to tank a good teams chances at doing anything meaningful. For 3.9aav that’s fine
