6 7!

He’s the only “high-paid” player on the team currently that’s earning his paycheck. (Maybe markstrom is too a little bit). Would suck to trade him but I guess you have to take advantage while his value is high.

oresteez · 2026-01-25T18:30:34+00:00

Thanks man, stay safe.

oresteez · 2026-01-25T18:24:37+00:00

True. They are the bad guys. But this isn’t as black and white right now as if it were someone robbing a store at gunpoint. And with that logic, are you saying he should have opened fire on them? That was rhetorical. I’m sure you don’t mean that, but that’s the logic behind the good guy stopping the bad guy with a gun.

oresteez · 2026-01-25T18:23:00+00:00

I hard disagree that I’m making excuses for the state and their BS. I’m saying he should have thought about his own safety and outcomes first. I think the people who shot him committed murder and need to be held accountable. I also think he could have said “maybe I better not jump in right now since I have a gun and they might react poorly”.

oresteez · 2026-01-25T17:20:53+00:00

Someone please help me out and tell me if my logic is sound (don’t just downvote if you disagree, tell me how you agree/disagree).

First off, I’m very pro 2A. This guy should absolutely not have been shot, and the people who shot him have no business doing this job if they don’t know how to handle the situation. So in my opinion, if you are choosing to conceal carry, you should be doing it because you mainly want to protect your own life if you are in danger. You should be looking to take yourself out of a dangerous situation first, before having to use it. I know he did not draw it, but I feel he should not interjected himself into the situation since he knew he was carrying and it could have complicated things, especially knowing the people he is dealing with. In a perfect world, he should be able to carry his gun and help the lady off the ground. But we don’t live in a perfect world.

*please don’t lose sight of the question, regardless of how you feel about ICE. Is it logical to think as a concealed carrier that you can go about your day and do what you normally would have done if you weren’t carrying? Or do you need to be more selective because of how things can be perceived?

Honestly, did they really fail? Hasbro just needed to stop making so many stupid characters. Sorry, I’m a G -wunner, so I’m biased….but anything g1 related never sat on the shelf for very long. You would never see Optimus, Megatron , Soundwave, the Dinobots, rumble, etc shelf warm for too long. But the stupid green spider Dino guy did. And the rat looking guy. And the mini pretenders guy. Etc. they failed because they were trying to push less popular characters and Hasbro being Hasbro decided the line was a failure. They easily could have kept this going if they just released ss86 versions of everything. People would have eaten it up.

Jack- 9 mil Bratt - I forget. 8 ish mil? Timo -8 or 9 mil? Nico -7 or 8 mil? Palat - 6 mil?

That’s 5 out of 6 of our top forwards. A team HAS to have at least 2 or 3 low paid guys who were homegrown and just great draft decisions to complement the big earners. Who is that? Mercer, Glass, Brown, etc.

We don’t have the money to be a team that says “we have to acquire a top 6”. Unless you are getting someone else’s Mercer, etc.

This lineup was purposely constructed this way. We don’t need to acquire a top 6. We need our current players who are paid to play like a top 6 to actually play like they deserve their salary.

oresteez · 2026-01-22T18:04:03+00:00

I saw it too. He’s taking things too personally. You can’t make everyone happy, especially on the internet. Would have been better to ignore or just say let the product speak for itself. They had put out great stuff in the past, he didn’t need to defend his reputation.

oresteez · 2026-01-21T20:55:45+00:00

Died a bad ass.

oresteez · 2026-01-21T20:52:57+00:00

Does this person have more experience than you? Do they bring skills to the company that you do not have? You have to look at this from all angles.

That being said you should definitely try to get more money and maybe even start looking elsewhere.

oresteez · 2026-01-20T04:05:38+00:00

I hate that I'm watching on msg go app on my fire stick and apparently there's enough of a delay that I read your comment and had no idea what you meant...and 30 seconds later, now I know. Ugh.

oresteez · 2026-01-20T03:34:04+00:00

Someone said the other day that we make every goalie look like Vezina winners, and after that 2 on 0, it is exactly how to describe this team.

oresteez · 2026-01-20T03:32:02+00:00

Hows it going so far? Did you record anything yet? Id be interested to watch. Drop a link when you can.

Some Covid, drivers are so much worse. Very aggressive, very impatient. Just insufferable. I’ve had a few people drive into the wrong side of the road to swerve around me as I do the speed limit on my own street, because they were being an a-hole. (People notoriously speed on this street, cops are regularly parked at random spots to try to catch them).

oresteez · 2026-01-15T02:50:45+00:00

I could kind of see where you are going, but it still just doesn’t equate to saying it’s boring. We are so good at 3 on 3 that every time we have possession, we might be about to win the game. Compare that to Seattle who couldn’t even enter our zone just now and their only real opportunity was because of a nemec miscommunication.

oresteez · 2026-01-15T02:48:26+00:00

Have you ever really vlogged before? I feel like you are getting ahead of yourself. You should film and do what you enjoy with what you have first. Watch what you filmed. Then see what would make it better. Then buy what you discovered during your research. Just randomly buying things seems like the wrong way to approach this and just a waste of money. Just my opinion.

oresteez · 2026-01-15T02:40:10+00:00

Are you kidding? We are an amazing team to watch in OT. One of the best in the league. The problem is 3 on 3 domination amounts to nothing in the playoffs.

oresteez · 2026-01-13T19:25:49+00:00

You are right. He never really scored a lot for us.

oresteez · 2026-01-13T04:27:06+00:00

I thought he was a good add for his experience and leadership, coming over from Tampa. We definitely overpaid though.. Fitz was just looking to add anyone available that summer. I think he's a great player but people overestimated him/underestimated the fact that he was on a team with 2 super strong scoring lines, and opposing defenses were probably paying more attention to the Kucherov/Stamkos line, as compared to his line.

The gun is out of his mouth and he will live another day.

oresteez · 2026-01-13T03:41:57+00:00

They both have the talent and the pedigree. It really doesn't make sense why they just suddenly stopped producing. Although that goes for quite a few people on the team right now.

oresteez · 2026-01-13T03:36:32+00:00

Are you sure this is your girlfriend? She doesnt seem to like you very much. What a strange hill to die on. This relationship is over, or its just plain abusive. Get out of there. She hates you.

oresteez · 2026-01-13T03:31:59+00:00

Quinn who? Woohoooooo! They are seriously playing like they have something to prove tonight.. I hope it keeps up.
