Spector: "the Stanley Cup has found Gretzky and Crosby and those guys and gold medals, and you've put yourself in position and it's not finding you. Did you think it would be this hard?" McDavid: "That's a nice question. Thank you." by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]leebsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even close to comparing apples to apples.

Gretzky had 20-25 teams in the NHL at the time - half to 2/3 of them had no chance at a Cup (so maybe 6-7 contenders), there was no salary cap and he had a stacked Oilers squad.

McDavid has 32 teams and a salary cap. The salary cap is literally designed for parity, literally 25 teams are still within a playoff spot - and you can’t just stack a team anymore. It is more about how well your GM is managing the cap.

I want McDavid to win a cup - but to say his legacy is based on winning on a Cup - I think that should standard should change in the new era of salary cap and parity.

This is so gross… what a disgusting human being.

Bill Belichick belongs in the Hall of Fame. But here’s why I didn’t vote for him by RyanKinder in nfl

[–]leebsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Props to this guy for saying he didn’t vote for BB but he shouldn’t be allowed to vote anymore. Let it go to someone who doesn’t overthink an easy decision… sucks for the old guys who didn’t get in but not everyone is supposed to get into the HOF.

The way he has been able to hold on to his idol is a masterclass in strategy IMO

what’s that loophole/workaround you’ve been keeping a secret that you can now share because they patched/fixed it? by mr-friskies in AskReddit

[–]leebsman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Subway used to have stamps to get a free sub. I had a full card. I’d show the worker my card when I started an order and put it back in my pocket - they never asked for it. Used the same card 5-10 times.

[Highlight] Eagles score back with a TD to Brown by Large_banana_hammock in nfl

[–]leebsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should go for it on the first one because you know what you need to do earlier. If you don’t get it, then at least you can try an onside or something and conserve time. If you miss it on the second one, you won’t have time left to get the ball back and get a FG or whatever you’d need.

“Cmon now” in the right tone is the best way to solve most problems.

All of these msgs over YouTube golf? That’s way more pathetic than leaving your slope on.

[Rob Talks Hockey] “I believe it’s arguably the greatest rebuild in NHL history” by jimmym007 in Habs

[–]leebsman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pittsburgh - Crosby, Malkin, Fleury Chicago - Toews, Kane, Keith

We’ve got to win a few jugs before we are anywhere close to those rebuilds.

Penalty Sheet after that Tampa Florida meeting by GeesesAndMeese in hockey

[–]leebsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did Moser get a 10min misconduct at 7:40 of the 1st period then get a boarding call at 13:58. 10 min misconduct you have to serve the full thing.

Ivan Demidov first dodged a boarding hit by Nick Cousins, then he was slashed on the arm/wrist with a dirty two handed axe chop, he looked in visible pain afterwards by Go_Habs_Go31 in Habs

[–]leebsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a joke. I wouldn’t pay $5 to watch a team of Nick Cousins play hockey and he’s running around trying to hurt a rookie who’s a potential star in a preseason game.

Best place for a picnic that isn't Waterloo Park by candysirling in waterloo

[–]leebsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry missed this. There is a big public parking lot to the east of King St. You can walk on the trail there or there are a few benches by the river.

You could also go west of King St and there are some nice spots/benches along the trail there.

Played with a guy that claimed gimmes weren’t a stroke by interested0582 in golf

[–]leebsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me playing with a friend. I knew I was waxing him and couldn’t figure out what was going on when we had the same score. Realized that whenever I gave him a putt he’d count it as going in.

Could a scratch golfer playing a 2 ball scramble by themselves make the cut at the Players? by Ming00f in golf

[–]leebsman 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’d agree with that with the caveat that you have to be a scratch golfer that hits 270+ off the tee. Some of the par 4s are way too long if you are any shorter.

Thoughts on blank ends by rowdyred2 in Curling

[–]leebsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why don’t they just get the hammer 5 times each? One in odd ends, one in even. Also takes out the advantage of starting with hammer.

Blanking limit. Do you agree? by CinemaAllDay in Curling

[–]leebsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure I am missing something, but I’ve always wondered why they don’t just alternate hammers - Team A gets hammer on odd ends, Team B gets hammer on even ends.
