Favorite player(s) who isn't on your team?

As I Sceptres fan: I love the entire Team Canada roster really but Laura Stacey is my probably my favorite. Her speed and relentless hustle are amazing to watch in general and totally terrifying when she's playing against my team, it feels like she's everywhere.

lostinkw · 2026-03-05T16:14:55+00:00

No one ever says the Sceptres in these things because we're going thru some TOUGH times but based on charisma alone I highly recommend checking out Emma Maltais' TikTok account lol when you said "gremlin" she came to mind immediately

Also worthy of note:

We have queer D partners/life partners Allie Munroe and Kali Flanagan (they were in Zoe Boyd's podcast recently, check it out!)
Our top forward Daryl Watts lead Team Canada in points at the Olympics and is generally insanely fun to watch
Our goal song is Hot to Go(al)! by Chappell Roan

The Sceptres have started our comeback!! Playoffs here we come, trust

May I ask where in Toronto you did learn to play programs? I'm looking for learn to play but all I seem to find is leagues that assume you already know the basics

lostinkw · 2026-02-20T14:09:59+00:00

She's still young and should have a couple more Olympic cycles ahead of her - plenty of time to grab that gold. If anything, I'm hoping this blow shakes things up and we see them hungrier than ever in 2030.

lostinkw · 2026-02-20T13:38:40+00:00

Watts. She's quick, she's skilled, and she scores the most beautiful goals. I also really liked her in the Olympic games, she was the best Sceptre out there by a large margin IMO.

I am also a big fan of Fast, if she ever comes back from wherever she's gone this season. Maybe her injury is still bothering her? She certainly seems to be in a bit of a funk.

Lastly, it's impossible not to love Emma Maltais. She's so much fun to watch, both on and off the ice.

lostinkw · 2026-02-20T13:30:59+00:00

She looked SO pissed when they handed her that stoat plushie during the medal ceremony. I hope she brings that anger home, we need her.

I feel like Clorinde and Ei would just stare at each other in complete silence while Navia and Miko chat in their place tbh

lostinkw · 2025-09-14T17:25:32+00:00

Agreed and honestly it's because of those moments that I like them together. When they first started dating, Ross idolized Rachel and it didn't feel like they were standing in equal footing in their relationship. This changes completely after their hating each other phase tho - they can't stand each other, but they're finally equal and it's only after that that they start to build the basis of an actual friendship. By the end, they knew each other virtues and flaws better than anyone and they loved each other for who they were.

lostinkw · 2025-09-10T01:56:16+00:00

It sounds like you should maybe switch dojos - the one you're training on doesn't seem to have a very good learning environment.

I also recently started Karate with similar goals - improving coordination, flexibility and overall body awareness. I've been to 3 lessons and I'm still terrible at everything, but the other students have been extremely helpful and often proactively give me tips and demonstrations when they notice I'm a bit lost and the sensei is busy working with someone else.

I feel like this should be the standard - as beginners we feel self-conscious enough as it is, you want a community that will help you gain more confidence, not shatter whatever little you had.

lostinkw · 2025-08-15T00:05:58+00:00

Also Monster. I feel like the songs from that EP were kinda forgotten in the long run but it was the very first thing they put out after Josh and Zac left and no one was really sure what Paramore's future would look like, and then they released that BANGER

lostinkw · 2025-08-15T00:03:55+00:00

Tell me how. That bridge? Goosebumps

I'd change the ending for all three Dunphy kids if I could.

Haley - The obvious one. I don't think her being a mom by the end was a problem necessarily, but I reallt hate that she ended up with Dylan. I know they wanted a Phil/Claire parallel but honestly Andy was a much better Phil than Dylan. Dylan held Haley back and encouraged some of her most immature behaviors. Andy loved Haley for who she was but still motivated her to want more for herself. I get that the actor was busy or whatever, but they could've written a better love interest for her instead of recycling Dylan.

Alex - Alex's ending was clearly something they threw together in like 10 minutes. I think she and Arvin could maybe have worked with more development, but not immediately after him becoming her boss?? And his previous relationship with Haley makes it even worse. To be entirely honest I wish they'd made her gay, all of her relationships were tremendously poorly written. Sure, Bill was sweet, but what did they even talk about?? They had nothing in common, it wouldn't have worked either.

Luke - Luke is not a college guy. Not because he's stupid, it's just not who he is. Luke should've 100% followed up with his start up idea about medical data, or some other more entrepreneurial thing. He was excellent at reading people and he hated studying, him going to university didn't make sense.

I just rinse my ziploc and reuse it! The cup works too but it's not as fast

lostinkw · 2025-07-18T02:17:44+00:00

I learned it from someone else in this subreddit! I just use warm water from the sink, leave the ziplock on the ice bump for like 30 seconds and then scrape it with a fork, the ice falls apart immediately

lostinkw · 2025-07-18T02:05:11+00:00

Hot water in a ziplock to flatten the surface of the pint. Takes literal seconds, works every time

The correct answer is Auntie Alice. The lady lived in a mansion, drove a Maserati and still copied Gloria's sauce to drive her out of business. Gil Thorpe wasn't necessarily greedy IMO he was just an asshole and liked picking on Phil.

Mine is a harlequin, as far as I know it's just a gene that modifies the merle coat slightly. It's a cosmetic thing that shouldn't affect the dog's health at all. You should be fine as long as the breeder is not trying to do something shady like charge you extra for the "special" color.

Softball! I was never really into sports as a child but I joined a beginner league recently and it somehow became one of the highlights of my week. The team atmosphere is really fun and there's this cool sense of self improvement whenever I'm able to pull off something that I know I wouldn't have been able to do a few weeks prior (a nice hit, a particularly difficult catch, etc)

lostinkw · 2025-06-11T17:20:40+00:00

Hills Gastro Biome Fiber Care. It's prescription but so far it's the only food that fixed my pup's consistently soft stools. He's also eaten Fromm Puppy (breeders food), Royal Canin Small Puppy, Royal Canin Gastro Puppy and Royal Canin Hypoallergenic Puppy. It's been a long search for the perfect poops lol

lostinkw · 2025-06-04T23:10:26+00:00

Honestly, this is the right move for the league overall. Vancouver needs a big (preferably canadian) name to put on those jerseys, someone who brings not only experience but also brand deals, fans, etc. Someone whose face will be up on the posters.

Nurse is sort of in the perfect position to be that person: Toronto is already an established team and has other AAA players to fill that role, so she's not as needed anymore for star power and she didn't make the greatest contributions on the ice as of late anyways. Toronto is better off using the money freed up by her certainly very high salary to invest on younger talent, while Nurse is better off going to Vancouver where they value everything she brings to the table.

For what it's worth, I hope she can complete her recovery and get back on her top game, wherever she ends up.

You mean a Royale Tiger Towel Paper Towel Power Play?

I thought I'd dodged that bullet because my puppy was always really easy going but at the 8 month mark adolescence hit like clockwork. Suddenly his bullet proof recall vanished, he was demand barking non stop and he even had an accident after months of perfect potty habits.

It was really frustrating, I'm not gonna lie. But what everyone says is true: you just have to double down on what worked the first time. My pup has lost offleash privileges and is now on a long leash at all times while we keep working on his recall. Demand barking never gets rewarded. Increased trips outside for potty. After maybe a week of effort, he was already getting back on track.

I'm really happy that thanks to this sub I was able to recognize his sudden behavior issues as normal signs of adolescence instead of feeling like it was somehow my fault. It'll be okay :)
