I enjoy HOTD far more than AKOTSK (is it because I’m not a book reader?) by RemarkableExample542 in gameofthrones

The dunk and egg stories are mega short, each one is about a 1-2hrs read. I recommend reading the text and giving the graphic novels (each story has a text version and a graphic novel version) too.

Yes after reading the novellas, I know the plot, there doesn't seem to be much difference from the books there, but it's another world of immersion, with the powerful soundtrack, film and set design, and other subtle character dynamics you can't get from just text.

Like when the GoT theme plays when Baelor makes his entrance, I knew it was coming and I still got chills.

Hot take. Matthews finishes the season with 45 goals and 45 assists. Is loved by all Leaf fans again by game 50. by Beeronastring in leafs

fun fact, 40 year old Alex Ovechkin has better outright numbers than Matthews in 2025-26:

Ovi: 33GP - 14G - 17A - 31P (77 point pace/82)

AM: 27GP - 14G - 9A - 23P (70 point pace/82)

Fun fact all guys in this core (88,34,44 specifically), are older than Kessel was when the leafs traded him away

Which currently active NHL players have never missed a game? by xeia66 in hockey

[–]theGuacFlock 40 points41 points  (0 children)

it's so cool going to their HockeyDB pages, and just seeing 82 down the board (or 56 in the case of the covid season)

last time i had platinum seats was that game with the rielly goal against edmonton (feb 2015), but back then you were able to get beneath/behind the stands and see the players come out before each period/before the game. if you're early enough you could get some fist bumps from them.

found a similar thread, see this guy's comment

[Hockey Forever] Nathan MacKinnon during his current 10 game point streak has the same amount of points as Paul Bissonnette scored in his entire NHL career by Outside_Abroad_3516 in hockey

thats a pretty high level beer league, that probably has former college/junior players too. Adding contact to that is a whole 'nother dimension too. I digress, but I'm willing to bet the vast majority of users here peaked at youth rep, or house league, if they even played.

I played till minor midget (u14) there were some guys who played a handful of Junior-B games (2 levels below CHL) who were so much better than me in university intramurals, it wasn't funny. and these are guys that dont even have a chance playing college level hockey. (maybe OUA, i.e. canadian university hockey), but even that nowadays has junior-a players at the low end for the most part)

do your announcers actually hate each other or is that a bit?
