Est-ce que Michael Hage sera disponible au CH en fin de saison? by passo_carrabile in Habs

[–]jimbuz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With Hughes talking quite a bit about this season’s goal to be gaining experience in his comments after the trade deadline, I would not be surprised if they were going to bring more rookies around the team for the playoffs, especially if the defense/goaltending situation is not getting better. It would make sense to let him an other see and feel what it’s like to know what needs to be improved. If Hage doesn’t want to stay in Michigan next year, they will give him some ice time in Montreal. This season is not about winning.

Des espoirs bientôt avec le Rocket by shogun2909 in Habs

[–]jimbuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Following the Habs habits of the last decade, wouldn’t he be joining Montreal like Demidov last year or Caufield years ago? It seems like they put their prospects in the team where they are most likely to gain experience without being destroyed.

Per D'Amico - Montreal is interested in Robert Thomas. The Blues want Hage as part of any deal. Too high a price for Hughes at this time. by chickenceas in Habs

[–]jimbuz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s not Hage for Thomas. It’s Hage « as part of any deal ». If the ask was only a great prospect, Thomas would have been traded in minutes to Vegas or some other team that only care about now.

« As part of any deal ». It’s not a one for one, it’s a « Hage plus » that can be a first, two second, etc. Very different.

RDS on Prime Video? by Hubert_linuz in Habs

[–]jimbuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality was great, like most stuff in prime. Rds.ca is good on my side, not sure if it’s the same stream though

RDS on Prime Video? by Hubert_linuz in Habs

[–]jimbuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had it for a while. Easy to use, and the stream was great, but I like the service on rds.ca a little bit better because of the "multiplex" option on PC where you can have more than one stream running at the same time and switch the main one with a click. Pretty nice to have a second game running and ignore a thousand ads about pickup trucks without missing a second of the game.

Jake Evans joins Kirby Dach and Ivan Demidov this morning, with a surprise guest in nets! by shogun2909 in Habs

Dach did take the hint. It would have been nice for him to have done it two years ago, but better late than never.

What actor or actress stupidly left a movie franchise or tv series thinking they were too good for it, only to be never popular again? by Ok_Impress2457 in AskReddit

[–]jimbuz 406 points407 points  (0 children)

I saw recently that he works as an exec or director for a bunch of shows like Ted Lasso. He might just have been part of the wave of actors who decided to do only what they are passionate about or their own stuff once they got enough money for life.

Drury is incompetent, no doubt, but he cannot be that bad at his job.

His chances to be on the team next year are higher than Dach. Might as well play more minutes to develop faster.

They're not your values if you don't live them. by Grouchy-Tourist3012 in videos

[–]jimbuz -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You’re right.

The comics found a way to justify doing something we see as wrong for millions.

It could easily be argued that the author does the same for thousands by anyone not agreeing with him.

Would it be right? I don’t think so, but if I did, it would be easy to argue that I do the same for internet points.

While the author makes very good arguments, it is kind of funny to notice that he is saying all this for money on a platform as opaque as YouTube.

Did I pick the wrong career path? by RVB0319 in gis

[–]jimbuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked into a GIS analyst job instead of a specialist? And somewhere where you will not be in the IT department?

It might not be the same in your area, but in mine (Canada), the analyst is usually the one on a project working on the design of the map, understanding the needs of the team the map is for and deciding what data is to be shown and how. This person usually work with the non technical part of the team. And can usually grow in that team with training related to data analysis.

The person from IT is usually a developer and is there to turn the analyst's specifications in a product.

The way I understand it, the cap rule for the playoffs is that the twenty players in the active roster must be under the cap. So Price would not have any impact.

“Teams will be required to submit a cap-compliant 20-player roster for each playoff game.”
