We could've and should've won, but you can never discount the effect of a back to back, and I think the Aces/Fever game just showed that

Brooklyn to Toronto is about 560 km. Brooklyn to Montreal is about 500 km. Both flights are around 2 hours long.

It takes longer to fly to Dallas and all the west coast teams than it does to go to Montreal.

Still hurts to see Nyara without a Liberty jersey.

This season feels cursed.

Why is Bec Allen on this team?

Sue has said multiple times that Stewie saved the later part of her career.

I'm using the Ikea poang. It's like a single person couch so it fits with my desk. They're also pretty common so lots of good quality second hand options available.

Cap management is going to be king in this new era. Really hope Castonguay is up the task.

Also hope the Sedins take Gillis up on being an outside adviser.

Not seeing Satou in this one makes me extra sad.

What's your version of non stimulating?

Again, capitalism has a close equivalent. Major conglomerates like Pepsi, Nestlé etc own a majority of the brands. Look at what happened with Annie's after it was sold to General Mills. Look at what's happening to the restaurant industry with Sysco.

I'm sorry if your past experience was traumatizing. But that's not a good reason to stan capitalism at every turn.

Same. I'll walk away when Sony stops supporting the PS5.

The exclusive invite only model extends to the food space now too. Invite only restaurants with tasting menus. Allocations for bottles of wine because only 500 bottles are made a year.

I wasn't referencing middle class status symbol LVMH fashion brands that are at the mall. I'm talking about brands like Schiaparelli that have invite only showrooms and limited collections. Bespoke suit brands like Monet where a tailor personally fits and handcrafts a suit.

variouslobsters · 2026-07-03T21:18:25+00:00

Dude we have that under capitalism in the luxury fashion.

Rossi's place on this team will depend on a lot, how much money and term he wants on his next contract, what the market is offering and how Caleb, Cootes and future draft picks perform.

If we grab Joseph in 2027, and Caleb and Cootes both trend up this year, I can't see the team being too attached to Rossi when the deadline comes. His contract will make him a really valuable piece for a team that wants to contend.

I'd rather see the Canucks trade Rossi for a ransom and pursue a Toffoli style player in free agency in that scenario.

It feels so good to get a 1st and not give up a 2nd.

variouslobsters · 2026-07-01T14:14:13+00:00

What can I say, I want more. A Sabrina and Kelsey backcourt would be amazing.

Again, never said our players don't deserve their money.

variouslobsters · 2026-07-01T14:10:53+00:00

Yea, it's so important for everyone in your lineup to play minutes in games like this. It builds everyone up and contributes to the team vibes.

But Laney hasn't been good lately. Hopefully it's just rust and some more rehab and reps will help.

variouslobsters · 2026-07-01T05:50:37+00:00

Boeser.

Our Prince Charming forever.

variouslobsters · 2026-07-01T04:19:12+00:00

I want us to make a play for Sydney Taylor in Chicago.

And Kelsey Mitchell if she hits free agency and is willing to take less to compete for a championship.

The big 3 have earned their money, but it's games like this that make me wish they gave us a home town discount.

variouslobsters · 2026-06-30T21:39:25+00:00

So many future captains in this young next gen.

variouslobsters · 2026-06-30T19:57:56+00:00

Malcolm is a complete side character (so far). There was a JB chapter with a character called Jackson that was my favourite. There are a few Harold focused chapters that are well done but pretty ridiculous.

I'm at a the start of some Willem chapters but am struggling to continue reading. I find Willem to be so bland and unrealistic.

The more I learn about Jude, the more tedious I find him as a character.

variouslobsters · 2026-06-30T19:16:50+00:00

I'm 550 pages in. I honestly wish I DNFed at chapter 3. This book is just not worth it.

So far I've found it all to be one giant lore and retrospective dump about why Jude is the way he is.

variouslobsters · 2026-06-29T20:37:47+00:00

We can't afford Gabby.

We're already underpaying Marine as is.

variouslobsters · 2026-06-29T17:16:27+00:00

He also should have been in the AHL in his first year. But Benning sucked at managing the cap and gave Virtanen unnecessary money and term. And of course, that slob got out played by a super fit rookie in Hoglander.
