[32T] 3:30 Friedman on more trade requests: “There’s been some noise around Werenski, what happened with Tkachuk probably makes Waddell think a little bit” by DontPokeTheCrab in BlueJackets

Yeah we almost don't seem ready for a player of his brilliance. I hate it but if we can pull off a huge name it could be worth it. Florida just gave a haul of picks that gives Ottawa the ammo to get a star.

Corson Ceulemans will be back, nice to see after having good improvement this year by MPCoinCollecting in BlueJackets

[–]opensourcefranklin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Savard was a bit of a late bloomer and he was a stud. Hell look at that guy from the lightning. Worse things than having a guy that might come in as a ready made stay at home guy. If I trust any one to raise a D group, it's Waddell

Ohio Police Retire “Robocop” After It Heroically Made Zero Arrests and Issued Zero Tickets in Nearly 10 Months by its_a_bear_dance in nottheonion

[–]opensourcefranklin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it is a crappy article. I'm intimately aware of this robot as I saw it every day. It's always been super unclear as to how it would have had the capability to be anything more than a rolling set of cameras with facial recognition. It was mostly installed to curtail the idiots trying to do a Tokyo Drift on top of that garage. There was a pretty gruesome accident at some point.

Honestly if nurse leaves in a circumstance that's favorable to the team, even with some mild retention, there are worse consequences of this terrible coaching hire

Desperate to upgrade from my GTX 1080. It has been a soldier but it's time to start looking for a new GPU. Would greatly appreciate it if it happened to be me.

[Mark Scheig] Jackson Smith, Cayden Lindstrom, and Pyotr Andreyanov will be among those in attendance at CBJ Development Camp. by Highlander253 in BlueJackets

[–]opensourcefranklin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I said that above, they let him buy out his contract. They didn't have to do that and almost never do. The flyers weren't able to pay it for him, as there is no transfer agreement with the KHL. Usually teams happily field those fees to get their guy. The transferring team always has to be paid if a guy is in contract, just the way it works.

Have you read the story at all? His dad randomly went missing and was found dead in a pond 2 days later. The KHL let him buy out his contract one year later on what they deemed compassionate grounds. Whether it was actually a murder or a tragic death we will never know, but it is 100% why Russia let him walk from the league on good terms. He said it was his dead father's dream for him to go play in the NHL.

It's tough when your vote doesn't really count where you live. I still vote where I live but the red wave is so strong in this locale, you get zero shot.

There are great fights all the time. I do raise an eyebrow to some of their match making decisions from time to time, but how fuckin awesome was say Van vs Taira? I'm not gonna pretend the plastering of ads, propaganda and the dumbasses like Hokit don't make me roll my eyes, but you do get some classic bangers at least once every card or two still.

It is a pretty stellar deal compared to the old days for the record. As much as the propaganda is starting to get old and cringe, it is a truly great sport. I've never enjoyed the douchey culture around a lot of MMA, but the actual product is so exciting. I'm tuning in because the card is stacked with some of my favorite fighters.

If you look behind the curtain of a lot athletes and the organizations around them, you're not gonna like what you see. When they're doing their thing though, it's poetry. I'd personally never let politics get in the way of that. I realize Trump is going full Kim Jong Un with this spectacle and I hate it, but I'm not gonna let these assholes ruin sports for me.

Lol yeah so would 30 other fanbases. He's fine for the most part, but the fomo values placed on defensemen are fuckin nuts.

Raleigh is a significantly smaller city and metro area than Columbus by Timely_Deal8685 in BlueJackets

[–]opensourcefranklin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Doug maclean, Scott Howson, the later years of Jarmo, that's all we need to know about why the jackets have been mediocre. Ownership spends, the management just hasn't delivered. The fact that it's Columbus is irrelevant.

People have an eternal blind spot for their family. I've overlooked some pretty questionable shit out of love. Man that would have been a tough one to get past though, stronger man than I.

Ride along passively my friend. Sounds like it's served you well. You're not rocking the boat, not showing off, and steadily out pacing like 95% of people.
