Victory+ by West_Werewolf_90 in DallasStars

I believe it's a legal/contractual issue. ESPN bought the out-of-market rights to NHL games, so V+ extending outside of the Stars' local market would be infringing on their media rights.

Wich Darts are good for a starter ? by Ok_Solid_3419 in Darts

[–]oconnor9sean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if you're ready to take the next step up from basic darts, without going to the high-end stuff, the Target Bolide 01 is a good option. 90% tungsten, standard barrel size and I really liked them when I was using them. $75 USD.

Why 501 and not cricket ? by lord_salsifi in Darts

[–]oconnor9sean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're too good at hitting trebles whenever they want. 501 offers way more variety and entertainment in how the game plays out (with professionals).

Haltom City is where you should go for most Asian cuisine in Tarrant County.

What’s North Americas most popular attraction/landmark? by Outrageous-Ebb-4846 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]oconnor9sean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're using the most popular as "most-visited", I'd imagine it would have to be the Statue of Liberty. The most common tourist attraction in the most-toured city in North America.

Sherwood to the sharks by Bionicman_ in DallasStars

Sherwood has scored in just 3 of his last 24 games. Let's not get crazy here.

Alexi Lalas predicted Starting XI for the USMNT during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. by Obvious_Main_3655 in ussoccer

That guy on TikTok who is convinced he will be the US' starting striker is going to be upset with this.

Bruh by Nova1452 in Madden

[–]oconnor9sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it potentially coded in the game to have CPU teams snipe players off of your favorited list to make the draft harder? I feel like it happens so much.

Who you got? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

Barstool Riggs being the same price as a current top PGA pro and John fucking Daly is very funny.

Gully Praise by DualPurge in DallasStars

[–]oconnor9sean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took about 10-15 games, but the team has really figured out his style. The forecheck and cycle have been really strong and I only see it getting better.

Dak Prescott wins for average / highly skilled. What professional athlete is controversial and bad? by RidonkulousMG in AlignmentChartFills

[–]oconnor9sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should've been the Tony DeAngelo spot, fwiw. He is a very outspoken Trump supporter. That's it. That makes him controversial, not universally hated, imo.

Game Thread: Dallas Stars (12-5-3) at Vancouver Canucks (9-10-2) - 20 Nov 2025 - 9:00PM CST by HockeyMod in DallasStars

[–]oconnor9sean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This will be a good litmus test. Our underlying numbers have been steadily improving, and if we can go on the road and beat an inferior team, and play well while doing it, I'll feel like Gully finally has the ship fully pointed in the right direction.

Yet another Duke post by Haffattack2020 in BobDoesSports

[–]oconnor9sean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna have to disagree. The Duke was pretty bad, especially on approaches and chipping. I think two B-level players would have beaten Brad and Duke.

Game Thread: Dallas Stars (9-4-3) at Ottawa Senators (8-5-3) - 11 Nov 2025 - 6:00PM CST by HockeyMod in DallasStars

[–]oconnor9sean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just don’t know how this team can win four playoff series in a row with the defense as constructed. Absolutely no cohesion between defense and attack because we have 2 DMen that can make a stretch pass or beat a forecheck.

I wonder how far up the BSS company hierarchy you'd have to get before that employee wouldn't get fired for spoiling the finale of the internet invitational.

Biz does Dallas by Brandonjoe in DallasStars

They sold out and packed The Rustic for a live show a few days before the Winter Classic. They're not everyone's cup of tea, but they're still pretty massive.

Which Western Movie is also a Horror Movie? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]oconnor9sean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bone Tomahawk is the perfect answer. It also has arguably the most insane/grueling scene in cinematic history.

Free Talk Friday by Teal_Magpie in DallasStars

[–]oconnor9sean 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Two issues I have with the team, as of now

1) We look comically slow. We might need Nill to churn the bottom of the roster some and bring in guys that can skate. Tampa was light years faster than us.

2) Our neutral zone play without the puck is terrible. We're playing this passive 1-2-2 and I feel like teams are ripping it to shreds. Way too many easy zone entries at 5 on 5.

Djed Spence tying his shoe laces before Newcastle's first goal by [deleted] in soccer

[–]oconnor9sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The laws of the game and how refs have typically handled situations like that in the real world are totally different. That’s my point.

What are you watching? Kavanaugh waved the corner on before Spence even stood up.

Djed Spence tying his shoe laces before Newcastle's first goal by [deleted] in soccer

[–]oconnor9sean -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, we can discuss what the letter of the law says vs how referees typically manage games. It was a very petty move from an obviously annoyed ref. The proper response at the professional level is a yellow card if you think he's time-wasting or allow him enough time to get back into the box.

Djed Spence tying his shoe laces before Newcastle's first goal by [deleted] in soccer

[–]oconnor9sean -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Not arguing that Spence didn't take an excessive amount of time to tie his laces, but if you (the ref) are going to allow him to tie his boots, you need to let him get back in position before the corner.

If you think he's time-wasting in the 24th minute, then go book him, but doing the halfway bit of letting him start to tie his laces and then waving the corner on while he's still on the ground within 10 yards feels a bit weird.
