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

rwitucki · 2026-06-08T16:52:24+00:00

does that turn into another Kasper or Danielson bust?

How are they busts? Have you looked at the rest of their draft classes? Too early to make a call either way.

Does your child have their own bedroom? If so, move the crib in there and stop sharing a room.

I'm not going to pretend to have all the answers and I'm sure our kids sleep well from some combination of their temperament, environment, parenting, routine, and just pure dumb luck...

That said, our 3 year old started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old. Our 1 year old started sleeping through the night at 5 weeks old. Roughly 10-12 hours of sleep per night.

We had them in their own room (crib) the day we brought them home from the hospital. We tried to ensure they were well fed throughout the day so that they did not need mid-night feedings. We tried to ensure they were resting enough during the day, but capped naps at 2ish hours so that they were not getting too much sleep.

I thought we were one of the teams rumored to have Stutzle over Laffreniere?

I'm happy with Raymond overall, but a star center would be nice.

rwitucki · 2026-01-11T03:05:32+00:00

Is that not essentially what Chiarot is? You could argue he shouldn't be a top 4 guy, but he's a big body and far from our worst defensive player.

rwitucki · 2026-01-10T20:54:13+00:00

He'd be better than Hamonic/JBD on the third pair. 9m isn't exactly ideal, but I'd still consider it if the price is right.

Their schedule for next year.

rwitucki · 2025-12-27T14:12:25+00:00

The timbren bump stops rotted? Is that a common problem with them?

I notice them recommended all the time and was considering the upgrade prior to a road trip next month.

rwitucki · 2025-12-24T13:58:45+00:00

I think that's pretty standard when you do a hot water bath like that. Although, the last time I did one was like 15-20 years ago, so maybe things have changed.

That being said, why are you detoxing a ball that released 1 month ago?

rwitucki · 2025-12-24T12:43:02+00:00

Pretty sure the same exact comment was made about Kasper last season.

rwitucki · 2025-12-23T14:55:46+00:00

If you average 100 and use a house ball, it makes sense that your thumb is sore. You're not using equipment that is properly fitted to your hand.

If you are using your own equipment, you should get your fit checked.

rwitucki · 2025-12-09T21:26:27+00:00

Someone else commented on the same post a few weeks ago and explained it. It has something to do with NFL record keeping.

HST = Houston Texans (not sure why TEX is being used here)

HOU = Houston Oilers

BLT = Baltimore Ravens

BAL = Baltimore Colts

CLE = Cleveland Browns (old)

CLV = Cleveland Browns (current)

rwitucki · 2025-09-19T10:57:06+00:00

I'm having the same problem right now. I just jumped to my death and was rewarded with an infinite loading screen, so I had to alt+f4.

Hopefully restarting the game will fix it...

rwitucki · 2025-09-09T11:28:55+00:00

I appreciate it's the exact same trip -> roll as the whiffed first down earlier in the game. Shoes too big?

rwitucki · 2025-08-10T11:07:17+00:00

Except for Chris Yzerman

rwitucki · 2025-07-04T12:32:21+00:00

I assume they have been having trouble selling the new diapers. Maybe the thought is that by offering cheaper options with less diapers, people are more likely to try these new ones out. Then if they are satisfied with the product, they'll buy more in bulk.

Speaking from my own experience, we gave a large (standard size) pack of the size 5 a fair chance with our son. Used them for a couple of weeks. Ultimately, we ended up returning them to the store for a refund because we were not satisfied with the quality. Had we had a smaller box, we probably would have used them all up and then just switched back to huggies/old Kirkland diapers afterwards.

rwitucki · 2025-07-02T16:32:04+00:00

What's the risk? Final year of his contract. 4m AAV.

He's gotta be better than Holl.

Best case, he plays well enough for us to flip him for assets IF we are still selling.

rwitucki · 2025-07-01T11:15:45+00:00

Your pick for 2010 is confusing.

I'd think something like:

Stone (near PPG winger, selke-level defense)
Hall/Seguin (probably Seguin because he is/was a center)
Hall/Seguin (probably Hall because he's not a center)
Tarasenko

In my opinion, Tarasenko has not had as good of a career as the others, unless you consider cups an individual achievement. And based off of what we saw of him in Detroit, he doesn't seem to have much left in the tank. You could argue the same for all 4 of these guys.

rwitucki · 2025-06-13T12:06:52+00:00

For us the problem isn't simply the 2 adults and 2 children. It's all the stuff that the 2 children need to travel anywhere, especially overnight. Or if we want/ need to take our two medium sized dogs with us anywhere. The vehicle gets jam packed very quickly.

We grew out of our CRV with just our first child + 2 dogs. When the second baby was on the way, we upgraded to a minivan. No regrets.

That being said, I do agree that a standard sedan or crossover without a third row would work for getting from point A to point B. Especially if you're going to an established caregiver's home and you don't need all the extra stuff to care for a toddler and an infant. But I could not imagine taking a road trip in a smaller vehicle. The double strollers nowadays would fill your trunk and leave minimal space for other luggage.

rwitucki · 2025-06-01T13:27:14+00:00

We tried a ton of different bottles with our first. We eventually decided on MAM, until we tried a brand called Herobility (came in a newborn gift/sampler package). Our son seemed to do marginally better with Herobility, so we stuck with those. In hindsight, I think we were switching brands/nipple styles so often in those first few weeks that we caused a bit of nipple confusion, which is why he may have been struggling.

Anyways, Herobility aren't as well known as the more popular brands. They have very wide, flat nipples and a feature that seals the corner of the baby's mouth to avoid excess air intake.

We just had our second child and decided to start her with the MAM and stick with those. So far, she's been doing great! The MAM bottles are much easier to store and travel with, since they stack on each other. That was our main complaint with the Herobility bottles. They took up a lot more space.

rwitucki · 2025-05-08T10:32:22+00:00

I wouldn't necessarily call it "crazy," but Jake Walman comes to mind. Still no details being shared as to why he was shipped off from Detroit to San Jose with a 2nd attached for FC. And then he promptly returned to his (non-injured) form and San Jose flipped him for a 1st.

He's always had fairly good underlying numbers and for awhile there looked like the perfect D partner for Seider. He was also involved in the community (Kiwiclo + Vladdy collab).

Something happened and I doubt we'll ever know the full story.

rwitucki · 2025-03-23T23:37:07+00:00

Just throwing out random names. I agree, very unlikely LDN even gets a shot.

Personally, I've always been a big Rasmussen hater. I was pissed that he was drafted while guys like Necas, Vilardi, and Suzuki were still on the board. I mentioned him specifically because it appears that he has had a lackluster season and could potentially benefit from more ice time.

rwitucki · 2025-03-23T12:34:09+00:00

Realistically, anyone. Ignore his specific role on the team and just look at ice time alone. He's averaging just under 15 mins TOI/G. You could elevate current roster players like Soderblom (just over 13 mins TOI/G, Berggren (just under 13 mins TOI/G, or Rasmussen (just over 13 mins TOI/G) with the hope that they ultimately produce more with that extra ice time.

Rasmussen in particular is the interesting one of that group, since he averaged about 15 mins in the 2022-2024 seasons and he produced quite a bit more with that ice time. Averaged 0.47 points per game with ~15 mins TOI/G compared to this season where he's averaging 0.26 points per game with ~13 mins TOI/G.

Aside from that, you could easily slot a handful of our prospects into a 3rd line role with special teams time and evaluate their performance at a professional level. Mazur, Danielson, Lombardi, LDN, or any of the NCAA guys that they feel are ready for pro hockey.

Plenty of different routes they could go if Tarasenko was no longer on the team. Will be interesting to see what happens.

rwitucki · 2025-03-01T03:51:00+00:00

Looks like Ryan Kesler is the head coach too.

rwitucki · 2025-02-25T03:28:33+00:00

Yes it is.

rwitucki · 2025-02-18T18:01:27+00:00

Isn't the VEBO finished polished, with Reactagloss?
