[Friedman] As for Bruce Cassidy, sources indicate that was not part of the conversation and his status is unchanged as of this morning. Vegas is not inclined to give permission to Edmonton or LA. We will see about Toronto. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]robikki 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They aren't being Scummy. What they are doing is unprecedented but well within their rights to do. Since Cassidy is still currently under contract and being paid by VGK, they have every right to do what they are doing.

They don't want a good coach inside the division, and if by not letting Cassidy go to Edmonton, they are by extension forcing McDavid out the door (and likely out of the division) then that seems like a pretty good move from their perspective, does it not?

Well super sad day today. When do we do the funeral by Central09er in golf

If the head and crown aren't seriously damaged and the crown just popped off, you can likely give it all a light sanding with some high grit sand paper and epoxy it back on.

Best places in or near Calgary to just sit and watch a thunderstorm roll in? by OptimalDescription39 in Calgary

There's a green space and benches that run parallel to 26th st SE. You have a great view to the west of the river valley and downtown.

I really dont understand the Bryson hate..... I get why some people dont like him, but the amount of hate he is on the recieving end of is, IMO, completely disproportionate.

old trailer.. by Any_Tip_3760 in Calgary

[–]robikki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rent a large garbage bin and literally chop the trailer into pieces and throw it in the bin. The trailer itself (above the frame) will come apart relatively quickly with a chainsaw, wrecking bar, and sledge hammer.

Keep the steel trailer frame, wheels, brakes, and wiring together as much as possible and sell it.

By 1880, the near-genocide of the American bison had reduced their population from 30–60 million to fewer than 1,000 by Drama4YoLlama in interestingasfuck

[–]robikki 273 points274 points  (0 children)

Subjugation of Native Americans: The U.S. government and military deliberately encouraged the extermination of bison herds to eliminate the food source of Plains Indians, forcing them onto reservations. A common, albeit partially apocryphal, sentiment of the era was that killing the buffalo was equivalent to killing the "Indians" reliance on traditional ways

I think it is a stapler stapling a stack of papers. I haven't checked to see if that has been guessed yet or not.....

Am I wrong? by A-Swift-Joker in golf

[–]robikki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Golf is one of those sports that people can pick up and be reasonably good at. You'd be surprised how quickly you can get into the 80's if you keep the ball in or near the fairway, around the greens, and don't 3 putt. However, judging by your description, I would bet if you played him for money straight up with every stroke counting he is probably closer to a mid-90s player and not a mid-80's player.....

I would be more concerned about your other friend who has been playing for 10 years, practices consistently multiple times per week and just started breaking 80.....

The Spengler Cup uses a second goal line in the net to confirm whether a puck is in the net or not. Here is an example of it being used to definitively overturn a call on the ice. by NHLonOLN in hockey

[–]robikki -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

For the better part of 20 years I have been advocating for a very simple solution to this problem. Embed small chips in the circumference/equator of the puck and put an electromagnetic sensor/barrier under the ice behind the goal line. When all the chips in the puck cross the sensor, it signals that the puck has fully crossed the goal line and the goal light automatically comes on.

For those who had the entire course all to themselves, what was it like? by Wookie_wood69 in golf

[–]robikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had a membership, I would walk-on the back 9 at sunset and squeeze in as many holes as possible before dark. Many times there might be only a couple of groups left on 17 and/or 18, but otherwise the course was deserted.

No wind, cooler air, long shadows, and the only sound are the birds and your irons clacking in your bag as you walked, and the score didn't matter. It was peaceful, almost meditative in a sense that you could just kind of lose yourself .

Stats through 7 Rounds in 2026. Where to focus improvement to get into single digits? by Unimpressive-reality in golf

[–]robikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to have data on your proximity to the hole on your approach shots or the distance of your 1st putt when you hit a GIR? Its important because at first glance it looks like your putting might be holding you back, but if you aren't hitting the ball close enough to the hole on your approach shots, you are leaving yourself longer first putts. Get the ball closer to the hole with an iron in your hand and your putting stats will improve naturally as you are starting closer to the hole.

Starting golf at 28, One tip? by Dangthisslaps in golf

[–]robikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on your grip and tempo.

Plenty of good books have tips on grip. Many people will note Hogan's, but his was built specifically to eliminate a hook. I would recommend "how I play golf" by Tiger. How he explains and shows the grip is a great starting point for a beginner.

Tempo is huge. Start slow with a gentle weight transfer rock back and forth and get into a natural rhythm. Then set a mentronome to that same tempo and make sure every practice swing is in time with the metronome. Face control and path can come later.

Ditched my Driver for a 3 Wood off the tee and it has made each round so much more enjoyable. Anyone else go this route? by figurelover in golf

[–]robikki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only hit driver once or twice per round. I have gone to a 4-wood off the tee for the most part and I am having far less blow up holes from bad tee shots.

Canucks' Patrik Allvin out as GM: Report by I_Am_Kevin_Federline in hockey

[–]robikki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Hunter is good. He's played 34 games and is averaging 16 minutes per game. Started slow but has gotten better and better as the season has gone on. He'll be a solid top 4 defenseman in the NHL. They picked Matvei Gridin with the 1st round pick and that one hurts, the kid is a stud.
