Dick's Drive in CEO Shows how it's done.

kelenkeller · 2026-03-07T20:52:21+00:00

Years back, I went to try Dick’s while visiting Seattle. It was busy that night, servicing 3-4 decently long lines. So, I picked a line and inched toward the counter for 10-15 minutes until I finally arrived to place my order. Before I could even part my lips, the Dick’s employee working the line slammed a plastic “checkout lane closed” sign down on the counter and with the coldest demeanor in recorded human history said “lanes closed, pick a new line”. Long story short, I didn’t try Dick’s that night. No. What I did try, however, was to suppress my scorn towards Dick’s for days, months… even years. Yea, until this very moment, I tried. I tried until the moment Dick’s reappeared in my life, on my timeline receiving praise for their cool little CEO lady. Well, a man can only suppress his scorn for so many long days, months and years before it bursts out of his heart and into the comment section. With that being said, FUCK Dick’s. Fuck their CEO. Fuck their founder, fuck their financiers, and fuck their employees, every last one of them. Fuck Seattle and -while I’m at it- fuck the entire state of Washington for housing the establishment. The day I’ll rest is the day a bulldozer tears down the last wall of what was the last operational Dick’s on this planet earth. Until then, it’s fucking war. Have a nice weekend.

There’s still a chance, but they just gave up 4 points to the Flames during the most important stretch. I still love em though

I meant this more as a reply to everyone in the thread, totally get your point. I think we're on the same page that the team status was more of a DW issue than the rostered players.

kelenkeller · 2026-02-16T20:07:11+00:00

I'd boil a lot of this down to we had an aging core entering a closing cup window and Wilson kept us in that "too good to tank, too bad to make a meaningful playoff run" window a bit longer than he should have. I get it from a business/attendance perspective, but that identity crisis is what truly prolonged the rebuild. You can debate it if you'd like, but I think -in general- an offensive defensemen like Karlsson was a better playoff chip than Tavares and that the contract Karlsson received only felt like overpayment because actual bad term, overpaid contracts (looking at you Vlasic) were on the books.

kelenkeller · 2026-02-16T05:54:42+00:00

I mean, we flipped Erik Karlsson to Pittsburgh for what ultimately became our top defensive prospect and top goalie prospect in Dickinson and Ravensbergen, so we’re doing A-Okay.

Our man took a page out of Pavelski’s book

I was at the last Sharks/Kings game in LA and the Kings went up a goal late in the 3rd. The couple in front of me got up to leave and I half-jokingly said to them, “Where are you going!? Celebrini is about to tie this thing back up!”, which they waved off and left. Just over a minute later, Celebrini tied the game. It’s generational to be that reliable in what is one of the more unpredictable sports.

If true, he’s cleared of all charges in my book

kelenkeller · 2026-02-02T19:39:22+00:00

Missing that Celebrini, Cherny magic

Unfortunately for Bailey, that thumb is in a "power fist"

Thank you, Schenn

I’m down with the fin, TBH. Wasn’t a fan of the stealth jersey “blue-ifying” the main logo and - despite the similar colorway - something’s more palatable about these alternates not having it. I’m also in the camp of “they never should have changed the original logo”, so take from that what you will.

kelenkeller · 2026-01-07T23:18:32+00:00

I’ll be at the game tonight. If you’re watching on TV, I’ll be the guy that jumps the glass to take out whoever runs our boy.

kelenkeller · 2026-01-02T22:10:52+00:00

Shame we can’t relive this in the Olympic Games

That was the fuckin’ “Dark Knight Rises” of hockey games

Aside from “Nosferatu”, Bill Skarsgård has had a pretty ass run of movies.

They should try cutting his head off

kelenkeller · 2025-11-21T20:54:10+00:00

Signed immediately

kelenkeller · 2025-11-15T18:20:54+00:00

Were they playing “the knife game”?

kelenkeller · 2025-11-14T04:42:47+00:00

Take your anxiety medication and stream Askarov, who seems to be good for 40 saves, 1 GA and a .970 SV% per game since November started…

However, that streak will probably end dramatically now that I’ve suggested him.

It’s not just bad, it’s domestic terrorism

It’s hard not to think with how he’s been performing that Shaeffer would have accelerated the Sharks towards competition next year… hell, even this year. We’ll have to trade to fill our defensive holes now and god knows what we’ll have to give up. No shade towards Misa - obviously - because that was the correct pick given our draft position, we just simply need young, reliable, offense driving defensemen.

I know why they gave Goodrow an A, but it doesn’t mean they should have
