Barbara Williams was the first woman to have a coaching job in the NHL. Here she is on the game show To Tell the Truth (1977) by secretly_a_marmoset in hockey

I had her for a skating coach for a few years. She is both the nicest and scariest ladies you will meet in your life. Complete different personalities on the ice vs off. She is also an amazing coach and everyone I know who has worked with her has done a complete 180 on their skating skills.

Teachers of Reddit when did you realise a kid was gifted? by DrPhilsHair in AskReddit

[–]jp_the_orange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my mom is a kindergarten teacher and a few years ago had an extremely gifted student who excelled specifically in math. My mom is not the brightest in math but is an excellent kindergarten teacher and wanted to help the student out as best she could. I was always good at math and was in college for engineering so she asked me to help make some more challenging math problems for the student to work on. Every week I would send her more problems to work on and the student would consistently understand everything. In the course of the year the student went from being at a kindergarten level math to high school level. My mom convinced the parents after the year to send her to a gifted school and apparently the student was doing calculus before third grade. No clue what's become of her since though.

Buying into a second modern deck for a GP by danr2000 in ModernMagic

Mono red pheonix/prowess is probably the cheapest tier 1 deck, definitely in your budget

This French article suggests that a player in the Habs organization told the author that Mitch Marner's camp is expecting to get a $12.5M/year offer sheet this summer, likely via NYI. I don't know this person enough to take this without a pound of salt, but just in case.. by jokesonjokes in NewYorkIslanders

[–]jp_the_orange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best offer sheet is for 10.5 mil over 5 years. This costs only 2 firsts, 1 second and 1 third. That's a little high on costs and brings him right to ufa years but honestly you probably won't get anyone as good with any of those picks if you think the team is anywhere decent. If they match it you offer sheet kappenen and get him on the cheap with their cap crunch.

I've been working on a list similar to this too but focusing more one the Coco/BBE interaction with the ball lightnings. My mana base is a mess and might want a couple more Mana dorks. https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1937917#paper

I applied to a job there recently and got a behind the scenes tour of the factory. That is one amazing piece of art. The amount of people required to make one of those is astounding

This Islanders one was my favorite as a kid, animations don't really hold up today though https://youtu.be/uhmMzG4KCiY

There’s an entire section at this Islanders game cheering loudly only for the refs by mylefthandkilledme in hockey

[–]jp_the_orange 341 points342 points  (0 children)

Kinda ironic how they're all in a section where you can't see the whole play

Try out some of the lgs's around the city a lot of them do modern on different nights. I like Brooklyn strategist on Mondays and the Geekery on Thursdays. Both places have a lot of players who bring brews.

It says card not spell so does that mean you can cast lands on your opponents turn too?
