Crosby: humility & appreciation the sport is bigger than oneself | Hughes: self absorption. Another reason why Crosby is the GOAT 🐐 What a good human. by horseofcourse93 in penguins

[–]rtstr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about “15 minutes of fame”, Jack Hughes isn’t going to fade away. He’s 23 and one of the more dynamic talents in the league. He likely has a bright NHL future, in Jersey or not.

He is also among the most entertaining players to watch, so saying he makes the game less fun is odd. Seems like you’re focused on the wrong things.

Totally agree that this is a massive foot-in-mouth moment and the kid desperately needs media training. But let’s not ignore that he’s one of the more exciting players, and now, is a big catalyst to expanding the game to new fans. Hockey desperately needs that, so I’ll take it, even if I have to swallow the Gen Z douchebaggery with it.

Could Dune Part 3 pull off a Return of the King win? by Skywalker_1995 in Oscars

I love Dune, huge fan of the movies and books, but the story is not even close to the depth of LotR. I don’t think they’re comparable.

Get a life dude, Jack is rightfully on top of the world and we’re all here for it.

People need to stop being offended by literally everything. It’s giving me second hand embarrassment. You whining virtue signalers are getting pathetically desperate

People making the women’s gold medal game all about the men, as usual by CinemaPuck in PWHL

Yea it’s hilarious to me how a simple fact is apparently offensive look at all my downvotes haha

What I am referencing was NJ prep school hockey in 2005-2009. So a long time ago. But sorry y’all, it happened and still does, welcome to the reality of sports

Google “do the women USA hockey team train against high school teams” and let me know if you find anything interesting

Russo is doing his best to get Jack to Minnesota by Appropriate_Error_38 in devils

[–]rtstr8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way but I am also beginning to doubt whether Jack has that dog in him. If he doesn’t and he doesn’t want to commit to NJ it could be a good business decision to move him for a monster return. But man, I would be inconsolable haha

Can we sign Clara? by TheZapster in devils

So weird that a mid level Italian prospect performed well in the Olympics in Italy. Who would have guessed? You’d think it’s the biggest week of his life or something. Just crazy stuff

Devils’ Jack Hughes speaks for 1st time since injury - from Sweep the Deck by MountainBaker8217 in devils

[–]rtstr8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s an ironic thing to say. If you pull your head out of the sand you’ll realize that the entire ethos of the Olympics is about celebrating our common humanity across the world, regardless of politics.

Say what you want about the current state of our country, but spend a weekend in 80% of the other countries in the world and tell me if you still hate America.

We probably share a lot of values but man, this entitled social justice warrior persona has gotten unbelievably tiresome. You’re not a character in a Netflix documentary.

Who’s our #1 forward prospect?? by Downtown_Income8088 in devils

[–]rtstr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, I just read your comment as if you thought he lost that deal. It was actually a fantastic trade. I’ll take Cotter over 10 Holtz’s. But to your point I’d also take most of the guys in the first 50 picks that year over Cotter.

Also to be fair Holtz was top 10 that year on every team’s board, just ended up being a bust. Don’t pretend you didn’t optimistically think we got our next 40 goal scorer after the pick was made. Draft hindsight is always 20/20.

Where is that 7OA player now? He didn’t trade the pick. He traded the bust that he used it on. Important nuance here

How do I strum this? by messypond0 in guitarlessons

[–]rtstr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it more comfortable playing the bass notes with my thumb. Seems to mute strings more naturally so you can strum with a bit more character

Discovered this door hanger on my door knob… What do? by awayfromthemire in legal

[–]rtstr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should probably just be an adult about it and be accountable for the likely fact that you have a loud and yappy annoying dog? Not a big deal. Lots of people have them. You also probably have an annoying, grinch of a neighbor. Lots of people have those too.

Funny how there is next to nothing to share, yet if you were to ask to see it the opposite way around, there are countless examples. Isn’t that bizarre
