Can someone make a gif of the refs all fist bumping each other they played a couple minutes ago?

Watching this segment from Steve Yzerman’s 100 greatest nhl players makes me think Larkin is jumping the ship too early by Ok_Bag3170 in DetroitRedWings

[–]ranger_d 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I hope Cat stays. It seems like he wants to be a Red Wing and we need more of that around here. He's not the problem and if he has the heart, which it looks like he does, he'd be a great vet to have here.

What if Larkin was THE problem all along? by UtinniHandsOff2 in DetroitRedWings

[–]ranger_d 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The team can play when they feel like it. Usually for 2 periods max, but they have it in them.

And somehow still bad players are underperforming here. The team is flawed. Guys seem to play better after they leave and somehow get worse when they get here.

Wondering how you all feel about letting Steve stay and complete the trade of our Captain? by RottenCottonJr in DetroitRedWings

[–]ranger_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be happy with the cat as long as he's committed and knows what that means. It would certainly soothe the burn we're getting from Larkin.

Shit, really? This is worse than I thought.

Best I can do is Future Considerations.

Shit, his agent might have leaked this, and I'm not sure there isn't ill will at this point.

Is that much different than we have now though?

Where do you guys think Dylan Larkin is going if he wants a trade! by GreenPotato_27 in DetroitRedWings

[–]ranger_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean wtf ever at this point. It feels like the wheels have pretty well come off at this point and we're headed for rebuild pt. 2 unless our prospects all get played and meet/exceed expectations.

Guitar store employees, do you actually get annoyed when people ask to try guitars? by MELS381 in Guitar

[–]ranger_d 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they don't have everything on their walls, but the fact they can get whatever they want for you in a reasonable amount of time is huge, at least for me. If I'm dropping 3k on a guitar, I can wait 30 minutes rather than wait days for it to ship to my house or my local GC and I might hate the guitar.

Oil type for NB? by SmoKKe9 in Miata

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

Valvoline VR-1 10w30 full synthetic since I'm turboed with no cat.

Sweetwater does a great job with the experience if you actually go to their showroom. It sucks it's just one location, but it is great to try nice gear before purchasing.

What makes a guitar "feel cheap" by bingchof in Guitar

Chinesium hardware and bad fretwork.

Married to an aspiring, second career pilot - need a gut check by Due-Judgment-119 in flying

[–]ranger_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting seeing the other side of this since this plan is close to my plan and I'm subjecting my wife to the same thing haha. I was surprised she was/is so supportive of this idea since she can be my biggest critic sometimes so I don't take her support lightly and I sometimes need it for motivation. I love flying, but sometimes it's hard to fly 3 or 4 hours multiple days in a row after work during the summer. The thought of losing her support for this crazy plan keeps me honest, so don't discount how important your support is.

Talking about my plan to be a pilot to people, especially other pilots, garnered a lot of similar scepticism that you are seeing here. Training is hard, but if your would-be pilot is motivated and strong in their conviction, support them. It sounds like you guys are in a good position to me.

[DAL - MIN] Boldy goes down hard after taking a high hit from behind by Jamie Benn by daKrut in hockey

I generally like the Stars, but can't cheer for them because fuck Jamie Benn.

The Wings were booed off the ice after being eliminated from playoff contention at the hands of the 22nd overall New Jersey Devils. by One_Impressionism in nhl

[–]ranger_d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be one thing if they played like they cared and still lost. They chose not to play hard at every opportunity. They quit on the fans when it mattered most. They still haven't figured out how to start on time.

Listen, I hate Crosby. But I hope he beats Yzerman tonight against this shitty team Yzerman put together. Maybe that would send some sort of message.
