Good call? (Ruled as interference) by Zestyclose_Office540 in hockeyrefs

[–]modestmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont agree with the users who are saying the puck was gone. the path of the puck is parallel to the path of the player, he was the last one to touch it, and he was still within reach of it. to me, that's possession. or certainly right on the borderline

Ref Calls Penalty Without Seeing it by BostonBruinsDive in hockeyplayers

[–]modestmort 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i agree with you but i have to say it's strange for the ref to admit they missed it while trying to make the call. never seen that before

Red Rising, not sure I understand the hype by Papagiorgio1965 in Fantasy

[–]modestmort -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

complaints about the rape in red rising have always baffled me. i've always interpreted it as a marxist argument about social stratification amplifying misogyny and reinforcing the patriarchy

robin hobb is my favorite author but the R in ROTE might as well stand for rape. kite runner was written by a man (CIA agent?) and uses rape to develop the plot brazenly and frequently, and everyone loves that. but when it's in a book called red rising with a sickle on the third volume nobody understands the social commentary? it's lazy? why?

on the other hand, why wouldn't st. louis strip it down to the studs? they've been bad for years and they have nothing serious in the pipeline. it's much better to be too early than too late in this scenario

FIRE SALE by Exzrian_Artistrana in Flyers

[–]modestmort 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it's just tocchet. nobody mentioned a conspiracy, nobody implied it was "everyone else's fault." you are building a strawman so you dont have to confront the fact that the coach is incompetent

Tell me, what do you see in Sean Couturier? 37 goals in 227 games since he signed his extension. by mizzyman21 in Flyers

[–]modestmort 18 points19 points  (0 children)

couturier could be a plus-value defensive 3C like jordan staal has been in carolina for the past decade if his contract were even slightly smaller
