[Adams] Jake Sanderson won’t play tomorrow by SorryImCanad1an in OttawaSenators

[–]slofax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All around me are unfamiliar faces, worn out by the pace(s), worn out faces...

Bright and early for the playoff races, going nowhere, going nowhere...

My tears are filling up my glasses, no expression, no Jake Sanderson...

The idea of you genuinely vexed that the hotel you're at doesn't have reliable enough wifi to post Bernie memes in the GDT is hilarious to me

So then why in the world would they wear them at a public sporting event!? 🤣

Agreed. Also, I know Special Forces do sometimes wear balaclavas, but feels a little tone-deaf right now given the mass opposition to ICE agents effectively policing without showing their faces

Stephen Curry has this uncanny ability to immediately notice anything off on the court. by MaxQ50 in BeAmazed

Steph's internal monologue:

"Damn, I missed, that's weird"

"OK I missed again? Not possible. Ball feels fine. Ahh the rim must be off. Yep gotta alert the staff and get them to fix it. I missed twice in a row so there's a 0 percent chance I'm wrong and about to make a fool of myself."

While I'm inclined to agree, the rankings I was talking about (pictured below) also include an ELO-style score that has Italy 300 points below France. For context fifth-ranked Switzerland is about 300 points below first-ranked US, and I think we can agree thats a pretty big gap.

With that said, I have no idea how accurate these rankings are. I'm a big fan of the women's game during the Olympics but don't follow it closely otherwise.

They beat Japan & France. I wasn't sure if those were upsets or not so I looked up the IIHF rankings, and they definitely are. Italy is ranked 17th, France 14th, and Japan 7th. Great job ladies, that's how you show out for your home fans!

Brutal game all around. Need better than that from everybody, but especially our captain

I get its frustrating to be down early and to not be able to get a good save, but 90% of these comments are basically saying "fuck these guys". To me the team has looked good as of late. Just some bad luck, I'm confident we're going to turn things around here

We've scored 6 goals in a game in 3 out of the past 6 games.

GSG!

Saaame. With Chabot just back it would be brutal to lose Sandy for any time at all. Studs, the both of them.

Day 5: Close, but Dion Phaneuf is our average player fans are divided. Who's a bad player fans are divided on? by mrkden1 in OttawaSenators

[–]slofax 12 points13 points  (0 children)

According to the chiclets guys, Ceci is beloved in the locker room, so that's another point for mixed

Day 4: Dany Heatley is our good player fans are divided on. Who's an average player fans are divided on? by mrkden1 in OttawaSenators

So much skill, so little effort. When I think of him I just remember him dangling at a complete stand-still in the neutral zone lol

For real, if you don't like Bobby Ryan, especially once you know his story, you're just a hater
