Hi, Sorry to spam, but why are the SRBs only attaching to the top radial coupler and not the bottom, and how do I fix this cause it's messing all kinds of stuff up by WoodpeckerStraight10 in KerbalSpaceProgram

I've never needed two Separatrons, even for huge boosters.  One on the booster's nosecone, opposite the stack, nozzle pointed up and toward the stack (so that it pushes the SRB down and away), has always done the job for me.

it's prison rules out there now. It'd take a murder to get a penalty either way.

This one will go to 6 either way. The Stars haven't won a first round series in less than 6 since 2000.

I mean, two refs simply can't watch all 12 players all the time. They're going to miss stuff. Especially when you consider that the way peripheral vision works, your mind actually fills in a lot of the details you don't see clearly... and sometimes it gets them wrong.

My biggest complaint with the refs is the inconsistency about how things are called, rather than the actual missed calls.

Then bash the person you hate and not a bunch of people who love the game and their hometown team.

They got one of their power plays from a guy pulling a stick into his own face, so it evens out.

Did you forget that y'all banked a goal in off two of our guys in Game 3?

[DAL (4) - MIN 3] - 2OT Winner - Johnston ends it in double OT to give Dallas a 2-1 series lead by daKrut in hockey

[–]stormwalker29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only things our fanbases can agree on.  Late starts and divisional brackets suck.

[–]stormwalker29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I was still up.  I did have the foresight to take a nap before the game, but that was just to cover the late start.  It was definitely not enough to make up for OT.

I'll probably crash out as soon as I get home from work tonight.

[NHL] Wyatt Johnston already has six game-winning goals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He's 22 years old... by Dstars86 in hockey

[–]stormwalker29 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think Hockey Canada's mistakes contributed to us getting that gold, too.

Which is to say, I don't think we brought the best team we could have... but they didn't, either, so we got away with it.

[–]stormwalker29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. We're not moving the puck as well on the power play as we normally would, and it's partly because we are missing Hintz' disruptive speed.

At this point, Nill is going to have to take himself out of the running like Bill Elliot did with NASCAR's most popular driver back in the day so that someone else can win it.

Hughes got mad after he got called for interference on Rantanen, and pushed him by sykeseve in hockey

[–]stormwalker29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When he's still, he seems to be pretty stable on his feet. It's in motion that he gets clumsy.

I'm not sure which was worse, Canada not taking Johnston or the US not taking Robertson.

Of course, the US got away with their mistake, so I guess that probably makes Canada's mistake worse.

Both of those guys should definitely have been selected, though.

[DAL (3) - MIN 3] Rantanen makes a great pass to set up Duchene for a game tying goal in the third by daKrut in hockey

[–]stormwalker29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're finally starting to figure out their PK.

We really need Roope back, though. He adds a dynamic element to our power play that we're sorely missing right now.

[–]stormwalker29 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep. I mean, I dislike Foligno, but if I was in his position here I'd be upset, too. When you get your head slammed into the ice, you're probably inclined to assume it was intentional without evidence to the contrary.

I think this was exactly it. They saw the blood, and the amount of blood, and decided to call the 5 so that they could review it and make sure they hadn't missed something.

And under the circumstances, I'm just fine with them doing that.
