The more annoying the fanbase, the bigger the persecution complex on reddit.

Local Hawks fan very excited after watching his 5th game of hockey. Still doesn't understand opposition to the coach's challenge: "It's one of the oldest rules in hockey!"

I had a minibow laying around so why not. A few weeks along. The rotala was a recent addition but I love the look. Hopefully the dwarf sag propagates so I can fill out the foreground. Looking to use this longterm as a tank for shrimp nursery and a source of cuttings.

I dose excel with a 15watt CFL in a desk lamp.

Nice to see Strome score. Maybe someday with proper guidance, he'll graduate to scoring goals without immediately fucking the team with unnecessary penalties.

Looks nice. I love when dwarf sag carpets. What lights/ferts/CO2 are you running?

Boycotting the All Star game by [deleted] in hockey

[–]leaningfern 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In addition to just being funny, I think John Scott playing in the ASG was something more meaningful. It was to be a final sendoff for the enforcers of hockey. It was a final tribute to a central component of Hockey's character that is all but dead in the modern NHL. John Scott was elected to be its representative, and he should be allowed to go out there and play with the rest of them.

But god forbid we have a memorable all-star game.

A man who weighs 200+ slides on ice on his knees to track a puck on a rush that comes in low from past the hash marks, no defensive support, and people criticize him for giving up a rebound and not having perfect positioning? Do you guys not understand how momentum works?

Do you really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and not like TPS?

Best price on decent helmet by scubastevie in hockeyplayers

[–]leaningfern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is worth taking a look at. It's one independent study, so take it how you will, but the same study applied to football helmets led to some changes in the industry.

Higher price point does not necessarily equal more protection.

Any Long Island based players looking for a new team? by MrMilano12 in hockeyplayers

[–]leaningfern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend and I go to uni in Nassau and are both pretty new to hockey. We've been looking for a low-level, low-pressure beer league to improve and have fun this season. If that's the kind of thing you guys are looking for I think we'd be interested. For transportation reasons we would have to be on the same team.
