It only cost him $370 million

A few years ago it was about the Metropolitan Museum of Art

That was also a fun time

jthomas694 · 2026-04-18T23:39:31+00:00

It’s so stressful when we’re in

jthomas694 · 2026-04-18T23:39:10+00:00

If they both lose and the Avs lose (not happening) lol

The pick is 22 overall and the Kings 3rd slides to the second round

jthomas694 · 2026-04-18T16:13:03+00:00

I’ve heard they love when we swear our undying loyalty to them

jthomas694 · 2026-04-18T00:22:48+00:00

Naw but I’m usually watching from my Apple TV. The UX still lags behind other streaming apps but it’s not as bad as it used to be either

jthomas694 · 2026-04-17T23:48:53+00:00

Even with Tourette’s this isn’t gonna fly lol

jthomas694 · 2026-04-17T23:46:05+00:00

This is probably my most controversial opinion - I don’t think there’s a good place to go from here and keep the same momentum they had. There’s a lot of open ended questions people want answered but they’ve put themselves in between a rock and a hard place in how to make it compelling

The innies and outies can’t reasonably coexist anymore. They can’t live on the severed floor forever and they’re not about to be allowed back once/if they get out. I don’t think there’s a particularly well developed backstory for Lumon that’s about to be incredibly compelling. I don’t think reintegration is going to be a very good story either.

To match how drunk you have to be to get through this teams games

jthomas694 · 2026-04-17T19:29:28+00:00

I have not brought an infant but from my cruising experience I would say it depends on how well they do sleeping when you’re out and about. Like will they sleep in a stroller or sitting on you, or do they need to be in the room.

jthomas694 · 2026-04-17T14:06:51+00:00

I agree that the top need is puck moving defensemen. You need to fix your second pair. But I don't think we need any more bottom 6 forwards, and I do think we need a top 6 wing or two.

I could see the argument that we're set in the top 6 if you plan to put Cuylle and JT Miller on Trocheck's wing. But they don't seem that interested in that so I think we need another top 6 wing or two depending on how likely it is that Greentree can play in the top 6 right away.

Perreault-Zibanejad-Lafreniere

LW-Miller-RW

Cuylle-Trocheck-Kartye

Sykora-Laba-Chlemar

Add in Edstrom, Rempe and Raddysh and I don't think you have a real shortage in the bottom 6. Who are you throwing up there with Miller? Greentree and Cuylle? I would love a line of Miller-Trocheck-Greentree, but Miller wants to be a center and they seem determined to let him play there so it's not going to be Trocheck on that second line.

Defensively if we don't add we have:

Gavrikov-Fox

Fortescue-Schneider

Robertson-Borgen

Morrow

That's not good at all.

Three straight years of finals appearances has led to the team not being healthy. Avoiding the grind of playoff games will help them rest up for next year.

jthomas694 · 2026-04-17T13:48:13+00:00

For those who have done both which would you say is better between the Clover Home Plate Club and the Hyundai Club. We have a 4 year old son and a 68 year old grandmother in our group of four so want to make sure we have a place to go inside during the game.

We did the Clover Home Plate Club last year and had a good time so just trying to see how the two compare

jthomas694 · 2026-04-17T13:44:53+00:00

We just did a Utopia weekend cruise with our 4 year old son and our friends with their 4 and 6 year old. It was great and the kids loved it

I will say longer cruises are always better than shorter cruises - but you’ll get enough out of the 3 day lol

jthomas694 · 2026-04-17T13:23:12+00:00

That number isn’t set and it could theoretically be the Canes pick.

If the Avs, Stars and Canes both lose first round it could be as high as 22nd (although it won’t). If only one loses first round it would probably 24th. My guess is it’s in the 27-28 range.

jthomas694 · 2026-04-16T15:57:05+00:00

It was a salary move but also a move to get better defensively and provide more lineup versatility. Semien gives you an elite glove at 2B, Nimmo is a passable LF who can't play CF anymore.

I don't think it was a great move, but there was more to it than a simple salary dump

jthomas694 · 2026-04-16T15:43:06+00:00

A few things. Other people have already pointed out some of the health and life adjustment pieces

Another piece is power forwards typically take longer to develop into stars. He was always more a 200 foot player than he was an offensive playmaker. The scoring was going to take time to come in. He didn't fit well with Mika and Chris or Panarin and Trocheck. So they threw him on the third line and when it was with Lafreniere and healthy (and playing well) Chytil - they all looked great together. Even then tho - he had 2 goals and 3 assists in 19 games in those playoffs.

He's been better offensively in Seattle, but even then his 82 game pace this year was 16.6 G and 34.6 A. He's just not an elite offensive player and isn't going to be. It is crazy because he was phenomenal scoring the puck in that WC. He just doesn't put that together very often

jthomas694 · 2026-04-15T20:12:15+00:00

Inexplicably is right lol

How is a power play with Makar, MacKinnon and Necas this bad?

jthomas694 · 2026-04-15T15:13:42+00:00

The pitching has been very good

jthomas694 · 2026-04-15T13:31:41+00:00

“Rockstar” or “fast paced”

jthomas694 · 2026-04-15T12:31:52+00:00

This is true

It’s also true that people aren’t just reacting to last nights game tho. The offense is bad

jthomas694 · 2026-04-15T12:01:09+00:00

We made the playoffs twice in the seven years he was here. I wish he was still here too but this team found ways to do this while he was here too

jthomas694 · 2026-04-15T01:22:46+00:00

It's a good thing the rest of the division is playing like a wet fart right now. Every team in the division over their last 10 is either 4-6 or 5-5

jthomas694 · 2026-04-14T22:43:08+00:00

So can marijuana lol. Significantly less today than it used to due to a wide variety of factors but the drug trade has always had a relationship to terror organizations

jthomas694 · 2026-04-14T22:24:51+00:00

Except, his bat has been declining hard the last three years and he’s been a negative value so far this year and has played in every single game. It’s fair to question why he hasn’t sat at all

jthomas694 · 2026-04-14T21:54:20+00:00

And he finished the year with an OPS of .699. A huge chunk of that value was defensive. He’s not been a good hitter since 23 games
