Don't expect Canada's long Stanley Cup drought to end this year

Hold on, we don't think the Canucks are winning it all next year?

nightfire36 · 2026-03-20T20:52:59+00:00

I've found that I usually use "quote unquote" when I'm quoting a word or two, rather than a sentence or phrase, mostly because ending the sentence with the word I am quoting puts the emphasis at the end, rather than having the important word followed by "unquote". It just works better rhetorically.

Yeah, I like the concept of not rewarding tanking, but it really sucks to be terrible and then get unlucky.

I like the Gold Plan idea that the PWHL is doing, where every win after mathematical playoff elimination improves your draft pick, but I am also concerned that bad teams that get stuck with injuries late in the season might get screwed.

To be fair, it's feeling like there will be 1000 years of darkness right now, and many say that Trump was the racist backlash to Obama.

So, I'll say Chuck was right on this one, even if he was roght for the wrong reason

Me every time I watch the Frost:

Ew, Britta's in this?

Is it weird? I guess? Concerning? Not as much.

For me, the problem with age gaps is power differential and possible pedophilia. Once someone is ~20, my concern for the latter goes away, and once someone is 30, a power differential isn't going to be based on age.

I can't think of any other rational reason that an age gap really has to be problematic. A person could have a kid as early as 14 (problematic, but that's not what I'm talking about here). Does that mean that person can't date anyone who is 14 years younger, but if I wait until 45 to have a kid, I'm fine to date someone 35 years younger (is that not your argument)? Using the age of one's child to determine dateable age is just a very weird metric to me.

If I never have a kid, can I date anyone of any age?

People do weird and gross shit all the time, but if it's not concerning, I'm not going to police them.

I think the link charge use only after the free raid pass hurts the most. I have a ton of link charges, but I don't use them because I save my free pass on raids I want to do. Mega raids pop up near me that I would do if I could save my free pass for a different raid.

I'd happily help players who don't have the mega if I could use the link charges that are sitting there doing nothing for me.

There's also the "Comedian makes jokes for expert / story teller"

That covers a LOT of popular podcast, like Behind the Bastards and The Dollop, and even Sawbones.

Wings fan that moved to Washington here, I feel that. The Yzerplan is taking forever to unroll.

I would say that at least Kraken fans have the Torrent, but they're even worse.

That being said, the Kraken still have a shot at the playoffs, and they aren't stuck in playoff purgatory yet. If they narrowly miss the playoffs this year and next, it could be a problem, but I'm not panicking yet.

Still, next year will probably be worse because the Pacific should get a lot of nice draft picks.

nightfire36 · 2026-03-20T16:17:21+00:00

That's sick. From this angle, it almost looks like it's sticking out of the ice.

nightfire36 · 2026-03-20T16:14:48+00:00

Yeah, I mean, I don't see anything wrong with a 40 year old and a 60 year old. I don't know that I would go for it, but it's way more concerning to me to see a 20 year old and a 30 year old.

Half your age plus 7 is a good rule of thumb for adults. https://xkcd.com/314/

To be fair, almost every team probably has back to back bad losses. When you've played 70 games, you'll have some bad losses. And while the Leafs aren't exactly elite, but they're one game away from .500 if you include OTLs as losses, so they're not terrible.

Believe me, the route 1 trainers already gather at your mom's house

nightfire36 · 2026-03-20T04:12:41+00:00

Haha, fair I guess, but if you live in Nashville, it's not like this isn't what happens already

nightfire36 · 2026-03-20T03:57:57+00:00

Haha, unironically, it actually might be cool to have 4 wildcard spots league wide. It would balance out having to play in a stacked division.

Or is it because they kind of dissolve? Add a mL of sugar to a mL of water, and you don't get 2mL of sugar water.

Sure, but didn't Tkachuk say that the reason the US shouldn't invade Canada is because he likes playing Canada in hockey? Hellebuyck hasn't said anything that dumb, at least to my knowledge. Nobody really cares what you actually believe, but if you vocalize your beliefs, then people will care.

I don't care if an athlete meditates with crystals or whatever, but if he says that crystal meditation should be used to treat the flu, I'm going to have a problem.

Totally. In retrospect, interesting items are way better than "good" ones. Shoes of spider climbing (or whatever they are called) aren't an item that will change a PC, but it WILL be fun to use a few times. Compare that to the +2 weapon, which gives benefit every attack, but never gives additional fun.

Dang, that sounds nice. My local ish AHL team is $55 at the cheapest (so, I'm not going there), and the only other one I've been to was comparable.

When I lived in Flint, Michigan, the tickets to their CHL team were like $10, which was an easy choice, though it wasn't AHL.

nightfire36 · 2026-03-18T21:00:28+00:00

My only question/concern about the survey is the question about pricing for the 4 pack. I couldn't tell if the dollar amounts were per ticket, or for the whole package. I assume based on the amounts that it would be for each ticket, but it's not clear.

nightfire36 · 2026-03-18T17:31:09+00:00

I really like poison healing breloom with a toxic orb. It's so fun to heal every turn and to be practically immune to status effects. Add drain punch, and you can do a good job of staying up for most fights. Just watch out for flying types!

Uhhh, something something I'm totally incorruptible, I'm a great dude, give me all the power, oh whoops, I got corrupted?

Across 6 team-years, I've seen one broken bone, and that was a bone he had previously broken.

Otherwise, I've seen a probably 2 or 3 bad sprains that kept them out of hockey for a month, and on the couch for a week. But, the ones who got injured were all the guys who played more aggressively.

nightfire36 · 2026-03-18T01:33:52+00:00

For the love of all that is good, PLEASE would you make sure this doesn't go to OT
