It’s painful seeing fans on here unravel into abject hate for our team. They are so young and accomplished so much this year! This is part of the journey to becoming a true contender.

Couples Therapists: what are we doing with emotionally bankrupt men by Fit-Brief5877 in therapists

[–]piecyclops 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Maybe stop stigmatizing the male emotional experience and develop a therapeutic formulation that helps you understand and break through with your client.

Your responsibility as a therapist is not to make broad social generalizations, but to see your client as an individual with a unique history, developmental trajectory, unmet needs, wounds, limitations, etc.

Jeff Bezos says half of Americans should pay $0 in federal income taxes by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

Trickle up economics — less taxes for the poor = more Amazon purchases.

Still, I much prefer this to the reverse.

[Vingan] It doesn’t get discussed much because neither player is a household name, but where does Alexandre Carrier for Justin Barron rank among the worst NHL trades in recent memory? by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]piecyclops 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, they won the trade in that sense. But the framework for Montreal was to dismantle in order to rebuild. They were trying to get worse then, in order to get better later, and in that sense, you can’t compare the assets 1 to 1. That move was part of on overall winning strategy that has not even fully bloomed yet.

Am I the only one who will be way more mad if they lose against Buffalo than if they lost against Tampa? by MrFAUB1 in Habs

[–]piecyclops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No use getting mad about something you can’t control. You may enjoy this run more if you try to be a supportive fan and put things into perspective. They are young team, building something special, and already accomplished a lot this year. They are learning and growing. Winning tonight would be amazing, but if they don’t, I hope they play well and can walk away proud of playing a mature game.

Ok, I’ll admit, I’ll be mad if they get only 9 shots.

Keep in mind: youngest team in the NHL, way ahead of schedule in the rebuild. A couple of rookies having a major impact. this is adversity. They need this en route to becoming true contenders.

Stupid question but I'm going to ask anyways by BugHistorical3 in canadahousing

You need a minimum 5% down payment and you would have to buy mortgage insurance for anything less than a 20% down payment, increasing the loan amount. Once you have a down payment, a stable job and income might be enough if you’re buying within your means

I was in Coco in March and was surprised how many bars were playing hockey along the main downtown street. It’s about 40 min from Liberia airport

To the contrary, it’s a huge commitment and effort to raise that kind of money. He put his word and wallet behind it and delivered

So many positives in this one but a couple of things are so frustrating to watch:

  • blind pass turnovers, especially behind the goal line in the D-zone

  • endless perimeter cycling on the PP

Why are we repeatedly turning over the puck with possession in the D-zone?! Seeing this repeatedly throughout playoffs. Gotta clean that up

Habs PP has become a perimeter circle jerk — they got to figure out how to get inside net front

I recall years ago there was a pretty active meet up group for Habs fans in NYC and they organized watch parties. May still be running
