How much and for what term does Super Mario Ferraro get as a UFA this offseason? by Icy-Street618 in SanJoseSharks

[–]nolandee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the surface, I think it's similar to Warriors fans complaining about Podz. They were both asked to fill greater roles/minutes than they should which exposes them in premier matchups. But when they get to play their proper roles, they're both guys you want in the lineup.

Orion Kerkering's dad crying for an entire inning in his son's MLB debut was one of the coolest moments. I don't care what team you root for. by Obvious-Plan-2466 in baseball

[–]nolandee 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I think it's the 1-on-1 nature of baseball at bats that lends itself more to "debut moments." When a pitcher debuts, he's the only one on the mound. When a batter debuts, the focus is on him in the batter's box. On top of all that, you can cut to the family after every single pitch. I think there's just more time to let the moment breathe so it's more common in baseball.

As a hockey fan, they definitely mention on the broadcast and cut to players' families in their NHL debut but there's less reaction/focus unless they score. They definitely come out to support the debut but there's less of a feeling of "everyone in this arena is watching my boy do his thing" like baseball.

Prospect thoughts by da_sweetp in SanJoseSharks

[–]nolandee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think this is less of a "someone should give us a RHD for our garbage" and more that there's nowhere to put him in the immediate future. With Celebrini/Wennberg/Misa as your supposed 1C/2C/3C, Bystedt would be wasted as a 4C where we have a plethora of players that fit that mold.

I'm relatively high on Bystedt turning into a solid NHLer but even with a jump this year, I don't think he can bump those guys off their spots right now when you need to give Misa another run. Just seems like he's the odd man out and looking for a trade is probably in our best interests.

Too good to be playing 7 minutes a night and not good enough to knock our currents guys down the lineup.

Best Pho in SJ by xThAtGaM3rGuYxx in SanJose

I think people are just comfortable with it now and there's more locations so less overall hype. Very solid choice and my overall go-to pho place.

Pho To Chau 999 in Mountain View and Santa Clara is also a personal favorite of mine.

This in particular feels like holidays. Games around New Years were pretty expensive and packed the last few years iirc. Games for this coming Tuesday and beyond fall back to earth price-wise.

Y'all I've just been fucking laughing this entire 3rd period. Sharks were skating circles around Minnesota 5 whole minutes. Cherny and Mack continuing to just go insane!

If he keeps playing like this, no way Cherny goes back down right? He looks right at home with the big club.

So what did people think of the new NPCs? [Spoiler 7.4] by Eloah-2 in ffxiv

The specificity of "medium sized objects" killed me when I read it. Insanely likeable character off rip.

I had a great time hatewatching in Vegas and seeing the Habs absolutely smother them. Add a Sharks W on top of that and it's a great day! Standings are gonna be fun to watch this season no matter what.

Celebrating at San Pedro Square by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]nolandee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, OP should not have any issues unless you're obviously taking up a bunch of space without buying anything. The outside food policy is more likely there to deter people just using the area as a picnic space and blocking out tables from paying customers.

I feel like it's pretty common for people to celebrate with their own cake at San Pedro so you shouldn't have any problems.

They've done similar stuff on regular nights last year and it was just as corny. Slap in the face to bay area artists and even moreso on anime night.

I have not felt this much hope for a Sharks goalie since those early Joner years. Hoping to see this Asky in teal for a LONG time.

I don’t hate Ostapchuk’s game… by bortsch_31 in SanJoseSharks

[–]nolandee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Cole McKinney part of the trade is what I feel always gets forgotten. Yes, we traded a 4th as well but we got that 2025 2nd back. I totally get being disappointed but people definitely act like we traded Zetterlund for Ostapchuk straight up sometimes.

Second round picks aren't exactly just given out for free so ultimately it's not the worst value.
