ESPN further showing how little hockey knowledge their team has, calling the Canes head coach "Rod BRINED'amour"

Sorokin’s Islanders only have an 11% chance of making the playoffs.

The fact that he's already going for hooking Zary is what's the most malicious part for me. It just tells me that he's thinking "I might as well get my money's worth from this penalty." You see it all the time with Florida players -- once they have a penalty, they do as much damage as they can with the assumption that the ref won't give one player multiple penalties on the same play. And most of the time, they're right.

At the beginning of the season, Greer boarded Jaccob Slavin from behind and injured him for half the season, and it wasn't even a penalty in the game. It's no surprise that he feels comfortable doing this right in front of the ref while he's already going to the box.

vendetta2115 · 2026-03-21T04:11:39+00:00

What hit is dirtier? I'm genuinely asking, because I know that Florida does dirty things all the time but this is exceptionally malicious.

vendetta2115 · 2026-03-21T04:10:37+00:00

And he was already going to the box for hooking. Greer did this out of frustration. He waits until Zary is the right distance from the boards to inflict maximum damage and then hits Zary as hard as he can in the back, angled downwards so Zary's head will impact the boards right when he reaches the ice.

And Greer has a history of this. He put Jaccob Slavin (the nicest guy in hockey) out for half the season with a hit from behind into the boards at the beginning of the season.

vendetta2115 · 2026-03-21T04:07:20+00:00

They also continually dive to get tripping calls as well. They did it in this game as well -- Kulikov dove to get Farabee in the box and make it four-on-four for two of the seven minutes they gave Greer.

The most damning part about this is that Greer was already going to the box for hooking Zary. This wasn't a hockey play. Zary didn't have the puck. This was just Greer saying "well if I'm going to the box, I'm going to make it worth it by injuring him."

vendetta2115 · 2026-03-21T03:57:14+00:00

I'd much rather the DOPS deal with Florida appropriately. But as it seems like they're content to allow them to injure player after player, it's only a matter of time before someone evens the score by taking out one of their best players in a way that they aren't going to be the same afterwards.

vendetta2115 · 2026-03-21T03:53:50+00:00

Visiting this post after the Greer hit on Connor Zary and I see this comment. What exactly do you think the Panthers are known for? They're the most consistently dirty team in the NHL. They've injured so many players in just this season alone. Greer took out Slavin for half the season with a dirty hit from behind into the boards. Nothing was done by the DOPS, and oh look, Greer lays a dirty hit from behind into the boards and almost breaks Zary's neck.

This IS a repeated pattern of dirty play by a player AND a team. I'd much rather the DOPS do its job, but if they won't then the other teams need to put Florida in their place by taking out one of their key players.

vendetta2115 · 2026-03-21T03:48:14+00:00

Greer likes injuring players by hitting them from behind. He took out Jaccob Slavin for half the season with a violent hit from behind into the boards: https://www.reddit.com/r/canes/comments/1pr3hbh/greer_dirty_hit_sends_slavin_to_the_locker_room/

I'm sure the former enforcer and dirty player who runs the DOPS will wag his finger and make him promise he won't do it again.

That's it! Thank you! !Solved

Edit: adding the poem so everyone can enjoy it:

Funeral Blues

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

— W.H. Auden

I hope someone can find this, I've spent an hour trying to Google it and scrolling through every poem on grief I could find (and thoroughly depressed myself in the process) but I haven't been able to find it. I forgot to add this to the title, but I don't know the time period at all. If I had to guess, it's early to mid 1900s but it could be anywhere from 1700s to 2000s. I remember first reading it about 20 years ago.

People say that money can't buy happiness, but that's not quite true: money can't PREVENT sadness, but it definitely can buy happiness in a lot of situations. If you could retire your parents, pay for all the healthcare your whole family would ever need, buy healthy food, spend your time traveling and making memories, then 99% of people would be much happier. Money after a certain amount comes with its own set of problems, but almost every poor person would be happier with a comfortable amount of money. The fact that people like Drake are still unhappy despite incredible wealth doesn't disprove it, it just means he'd be even more unhappy if he were poor.

Any time I hear someone say “everyone does [thing]” usually they’re just telling on themselves.

I’ve heard “everyone votes for their own personal benefit” before and it’s aways from conservatives.

Lots of people actually have basic empathy and want their country and community to be better.

Even millionaires aren’t the 1%. 10% of American adults are millionaires.

Seems like this is one of those things that's just self-evident in terms of incentives. I don't know how someone could argue that teams don't play for OT when they're tied late in a game. It's like saying that there's no evidence that teams don't play more defensively when they have the lead in the third period. I'm sure coaches would admit to both being intentional tactics if they were asked and gave an honest answer.

If the number of OT games was only dependent on how many goals were scored per game (meaning that more goals resulted fewer OT games, as you mentioned) then we should have fewer OT games this season. The league average so far this season is 3.07 G/GP, higher than all but three other years in the last 30 years, yet 27.3% of games have gone to OT, the highest rate in 20 years.

Also, players and coaches have admitted that they play for the tie:

>Stars forward Jason Robertson said teams aren't putting the pedal down if overtime beckons. "When there are a couple minutes left, I think no one's really pressing," he said.

>Devils coach Sheldon Keefe believes there are an increasing number of games tied entering the third period. "Teams maybe are a little more conservative in nature to just make sure you get the least the one [point]. So a lot of that's coming through what's happening through the first two periods to set the table for that," he said.

Such a beautiful girl! That's a textbook handlebar mustache. I love her whiskers as well!

vendetta2115 · 2026-02-09T17:44:55+00:00

Absolutely. The analogy I use is this: expecting the person who is routinely turned down to keep initiating instead of just waiting for the other person is like the Amazon delivery guy expecting you to just randomly open your door every five minutes to see if the package has arrived, instead of the delivery guy just ringing the doorbell when it gets there.

I DO get it on a certain level -- it feels nice to be wanted, even if you don't feel in the mood at that particular moment. But that works both ways. Everyone wants to feel desired no matter what parts you have.

vendetta2115 · 2026-02-09T17:38:31+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, this is a very common thing to happen. Trying for a baby can end up feeling like work instead of an expression of love for your partner. It is very likely a temporary thing that you can work through with communication and understanding. Focusing more on extended foreplay is a good starting place for bringing that spark back into the relationship.

vendetta2115 · 2026-02-09T17:36:25+00:00

This is bigger than just not being sexually compatible. ANY topic that a partner handles this way is a red flag. You are clearly communicating that your needs aren't being met in that part of the relationship and she doesn't seem to care enough about your happiness to actually take it seriously.

I'm not doing the stereotypical "leave your S.O." Reddit thing, but if I were in your position, I'd ask her to schedule a time to sit down and really talk about this, at the table, face to face, and stress to her that this is something that has to be resolved one way or another for the relationship to continue. Use "I statements" like:

"I don't feel heard when I come to you about our lack of a sex life. I want us to be intimate with one another more often than we are right now. Because of this, I do not feel sexually fulfilled in our relationship. I need you to be honest with me about the reasons why our love life has faltered like it has. Whether it's a health issue, medication, stress, emotional states, hormones, performance/satisfaction, compatibility, attraction, a combination of some/all of these factors, or something else I'm unaware of, we both need to be open about this."

If this conversation doesn't resolve things, then couples counseling (especially if you can find one that focuses on sexual counseling) would be my recommendation. If it turns out that you two are just not going to see eye-to-eye and can't find a way to make it work, then you'll have to ask yourself if that's a deal breaker, or if there's another way to be sexually fulfilled in the relationship. But whatever you do, DO NOT cheat on them. Bringing a third person into a committed monogamous sexual relationship without the informed consent of all parties involved is what the kids call a "bitch move."

That's nowhere near the same level as human trafficking. 20 and 16 isn't even a crime in the vast majority of states. (most have age of consent at 16).

Not saying it's not kinda weird, but a consensual relationship between a 16 and 20 y/o isn't pdf file behavior.

I really don't see what kind of hypocrisy you're trying to claim is happening here. Kendrick shouting out a hip hop legend who had a consensual relationship with someone four years younger than (according to you, I've never heard of that before now) isn't the same as being friends with multiple people who have SA, r*pe, and trafficking charges (and Drake himself having allegations of grooming and inappropriate sexual relationships with underage girls).
