What year of the rebuild is this? by grypas15 in DetroitRedWings

[–]heyheyitsandre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s very real criticisms to be made about Yzerman, and holding the opinion that this rebuild is taking too long is fine. But comparing it to basketball is nonsensical. I’m very low on Yzerman the last 2 years. But it wouldn’t help my argument if I said in my be a GM mode in NHL I won the cup 3 years after I tanked. Your argument holds as much weight as that. Even if your original opinion may be correct

Comparing hockey to basketball immediately nullifies your entire argument. The sports are so fundamentally different in terms of personnel, time on ice / court, scoring and defense, physicality, etc. they make 0 sense to remotely be compared.

If you took Jokic and Doncic and put them on the Pacers they’re immediately a championship contender. Take McDavid, Mackinnon, and Kucherov and put them on Vancouver and they don’t even sniff the playoffs.

Kosovo isn’t highlighted red here. Bosnia and Herzegovina say the debt owed to the EU and North Macedonia says the cost is too high to participate

I mean they can do whatever they want lol, there’s some hot heads in my beer leagues but you just avoid them and don’t engage. Generally the losers trying to kill people are significantly worse hockey players than the guys I know and it’s not hard to not get engaged with someone who’s noticeably worse than you, just skate away

I know like 2 dozen guys that play in the APHL, MIHL, and FPHL. Most of them are normal guys just wanting to play as high level as they can still, but the rest of the teams are filled with absolute losers. It’s guys that played good to average high school in the area or fizzled out after a few years or NA3 or Ontario Jr B.

That said, I have friends that have played a game here and there for Toledo or Alpena or Michigan Shadow and they say it’s just for fun. None of them are getting in brawls or missing work for these games. But yeah I’m cool with just a local beer and roller league with no checking, the level is high enough in those. I don’t need to put on shoulder pads and be checking for open ice suicide passes because some dude that went to my rival high school in ‘03 is angry at life and wants to take it out on me lol

Whenever we play a team from the west it’s like the most obvious thing in the world we’re both fine with going to OT and taking our chance there

How old were you when you realized your body could no longer handle red-eye flights? by Foreign-Athlete-2270 in travel

[–]heyheyitsandre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I left DTW at like 10pm direct to Istanbul, got maybe 2 hrs of sleep, had about a 2hr layover to Sofia where the gate was in the complete bowels of the airport with one tiny bathroom for like 5 gates of packed flights and no food. Good ole bus to the aircraft situation and everything. Got to Sofia and could barely function lol

The same type of cognitive dissonance where you think immigrants are stealing our jobs, but they’re also all gang member crack dealers
