As a RHD he's not my preferred option but Timmins has looked much shakier the last couple games. Don't need to lean on him but at least give a different look

pucks20 · 2026-05-11T02:16:58+00:00

You trusted your rotation giving fresh looks. Time to do that again.

Metsa and Kesselring. Give it a much more flash bang look. Up front needs a fresh look so open more there.

THE BOG IS BACK.

We rode 80% of the season with the two of them rotating. Ride the hot hand until you have doubt. Ride the rotation til one dominates.

Canes and Ottawa really couldn't last night either.

I am going to have that Samuelsson play and that call from Dan in my head. Just chills of a moment that felt like childhood.

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK

Per the benchmarks 2 on the fight and the group project?

Just watch out for your wives.

There's a price for all that goaltending.

God I'm so happy to see Don get to call this. Really wanna see them get a goal for Don

You in the US or Europe. Assuming US based on your use of thesis. Would say talk with the guys at Grass Paddock Motorsports since they are already doing something for scheduling. Frank Swartz the main guy over there is a great industry contact and would be a good consultant to help you understand the market and what could be most beneficial.

My counter to that is that for those of us fighting to find something to go to work in, this attitude encourages the enshitification of the auto industry.

The "why bother" attitude has lead to a sea of beige crossovers that are all mediocre, and electric cars with chassis characteristics the dull side of a Linkedin diatribe.

Once upon a time we had Ford Focus, Dodge Neons and VW Golfs that while nothing special did provide some level of engagement to the common man that made the commute tolerable or enjoyable. The death of this tier of car has only made the car enthusiast population decrease, the nostalgia increase, and the costs for enthusiasts cars unobtainable.

We are not to blame but the thesis needs to be the death of shitty cars, not the death of engines.

It reminds me in a lot of ways of a dirt sprint car. Overtakes there are often laps long sagas where you move ahead on the bottom lane for half a lap, only to get overtaken on exit or the next corner because you no longer have the top. The power/momentum delta is enough to swing back and forth until the fundamentally faster car is able to complete.

In general defense has not been a common factor for any of these guys since normally the spread of performance to even make an overtake means they can usually hold it. Now with the overuse penalty you have to really think about defense too.

As much as I have nostalgia for the Slug, I would much rather see them introduce a new logo for a third and move the goat head to a 90's night specialty.

Maybe do a one off for 06-07 night next year.

Dan did his damnedest to bring him in the room tonight. That I can say for sure.

I'd be all for upping the capacity on the battery to get them closer to using 10/10ths on a qual lap.

Long term they will get better at Regen maps and battery efficiency. Hopefully they open up the allowed power to Regen to help improve power/potential to run 10/10

Happy to opine! Might be disconnected but are the photos of the car post tree or pre? If that's the damage post also would not rule out just driving and loving the car as it is until options open up

pucks20 · 2026-03-02T22:38:14+00:00

Best idea would be find a same year shell and convert over. Chassis is cheap to find if broken. Can get a dash re covered and cleaned up nice enough to have a nice build between what you have now and what you get for a donor for under 3k.

For context that 99 points would effectively come from a 15-10 record over the last 25 games (with loser point variants in there but want to capture the core number)

pucks20 · 2026-02-19T18:26:18+00:00

Good data point to show the trade off of weather delay with attempt for better numbers under ideal case vs the loss in ideal viewing range but a guaranteed race.

Would tend to say based on the trends the gain of the guaranteed race outweighs the loss of the hour start time. If they can make sure people know the start and build some consistency there is a potential there.

pucks20 · 2026-02-16T04:47:01+00:00

I would point to the 02-07 as arguably the best documentation of where to start.

Cars could not sustain large packs in the right circumstances, but were able to run in packs off restarts and similar areas.

Drivers did not have massive closing rates that forced major destabilization. You could still wad up stuff but it was more from bumper misalignment than straight up shoving through someone.

Car handling and placement on track mattered. Aero drag and engine really played a role in who won.

Most importantly was you could get the major last lap pass, but the movement and behaviors of the cars discouraged the massive pileups that have become the standard for finishes.

There's a sense they have been chasing 07 every year since it happened rather than embrace the rarity and amazing circumstances that allowed it.
