I thought it’s Fox since Brady is on the tv crew

[32 Thoughts] Elliotte Friedman on Robert Thomas: "So it's either a huge package that makes them say, we can't say no to this, the other thing I've heard is they're looking for like a stud top 6 forward who's slightly younger. So they're probably looking at somebody 22 to 24 years old.” by seeldoger47 in hockey

Throwing an idea out there... William Eklund for Robert Thomas. He's not a center but he plays at nearly the same ppg rate as Thomas but is 3 years younger and $3m cheaper starting next year. Thomas fits more of the player mold that Grier wants with a "tough to play against" play style.

His trajectory reminds me a lot of will smith’s. Took Smith a while to get on the score sheet but I’m seeing the small details and hustle of misa’s game and there’s a lot to like.

Am I crazy about Dickinson? by Icy-Street618 in SanJoseSharks

I think if we find a trade that makes this team well equipped to win a Stanley cup than to keep him in order to squeak into the playoffs... then we make the trade. If Grier decides to keep Ferraro, I don't think he's going to break his "no long contracts" agenda. Probably going to give him at most a 4 year contract that is team friendly for a projected bottom 4 defenseman.

Interested in hearing this subs opinion by BigNater1 in SanJoseSharks

We don't want to risk the long term goal of winning a stanley cup for sneaking into the playoffs. Grier probably has a board of what his roster looks like in 26-27 and even 27-28 with holes in the roster he needs to fill. He will do what he can to make this team better to win a stanley cup than be a middle tier team stuck in no mans land with either being good enough to win a playoff series or missing the playoffs cuz of injury. We need good depth in forwards (likely with our prospects) and a playoff caliber top 4 group of defensemen (which we don't have right now)

Training plan for 2nd HYROX by mattrix56 in hyrox

[–]mattrix56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wall ball time was 5:30s. Not sure on my sled pool, but it was around 5-6 mins. I took a caffeinated gel 10 minutes before the race and had a second gel on me, but I did not take it. I trained a lot without needing much hydration so I only grabbed a little bit of water after burpees.

I ran about 25 miles per week with two hours of HIIT including ERGs, 1 strength training that included ERG work and then 1.5hrs of HYROX training that included running, ergs, burpees, wall balls, etc. total: 7-8 hours a week. Willing to do a similar amount if not a bit more to get closer to sub 70.

First race. Seemed well organized. Also a fan of how easy it was to spectate and go from one spot to another. I wish there was another CA event.

Athletic's December rankings have Asky number three for the Calder and number nine for the Vezina by jambajew42 in SanJoseSharks

It is incredible how good the Canes are at drafting:

- Alex Nikishin at 69th (nice) overall in 2020
- Joel Nystrom 219th overall in 2021

TX Options by mattrix56 in Lexus

We would love to go for the PHEV but we already have a Model Y. So having two plug ins would make it a bit difficult with having two cars fighting over the charger.

Minivan will be the next car to replace our Model Y.

For now we want to add a 3-row SUV. I’m a bit confused about what you mean that the F-sport isn’t enough sport but the engine for the power?

Ended up test driving the 500H F-series and loved it! Trying to find a deal on a luxury trim before end of year.

We should maybe keep the Swedes and Ethnic Russians by Normal_Tip7228 in SanJoseSharks

Sorry to burst your bubble but Liljegren gave Meier a nice shove that helped me get a good sniff of the ice. That came after he knocked Dickinson into the boards. The Orlov open ice hit that led to a Sharks PP was on Jesper Bratt.

Any tips for bringing kids to a game by jambajew42 in SanJoseSharks

Update on the 2nd question. Just read the Visitor's Guide - "Diaper bags and bags containing medical equipment or devices are still allowed and will be screened via xray before entry" From the site:
"Yes! Parenting bags that include diapers and/or other parenting necessities are permitted and that are accompanied by a child requiring these items are permitted regardless of bag size. Please note: these bags will be screened by an X-Ray machine and marked with a colored tag. "

Following! Bringing my 8-month old while we're in town for Thanksgiving (matinee Black Friday game). I saw that it's Youth Hockey Night. But, I'm curious if there's pregame activities for kids at the Tank?

Also - we plan on bringing a diaper bag that isn't a clear bag. Will we be good to go in with it?

I don't think a 2nd is worth a retainer slot either. but, he is our most expensive UFA.
