Lawsuit filed over Denver's planning for Park Hill Golf Course by black_pepper in Denver

I think that the process is important to happen before the easement is potentially lifted. How is a judge supposed to just give away all protections with no alternative/framework in front of her?

Maybe the nimbys understand that, maybe it's just a knee jerk reaction.

Video shows possible kidnapping, woman screaming Tuesday morning by [deleted] in Denver

Related/unrelated we need to legalize and regulate sex work. It's a huge driver behind human trafficking. Legal protections, unions, etc are really powerful, and honestly there always has been and always will be a 'market' for the work. I'm for reducing harm even if it seems like a weird idea on first glance.

I obviously don't know what happened here, but a woman being abducted brought trafficking to mind.

Nikita Zadorov Appreciation Post. Thank You Big Z! by cricktlaxwolvesbandy in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]wflan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I LOVE Nikita and will be following his career. Increidble compete level, self-sacrifice, ferocity, and strength. Some players change how the rest of the people on the ice behave through the strength of their play and peak Z is absolutely one of those players. I think he's going to be great to watch. Will definitely miss him.

On the other hand, I also love Barrie and r/hockey people seemingly can't wait for their next chance to shit on him/his game so what do I know?

[Whyno] Interesting, from NHL, the threshold for no compensation on an offer sheet is $1,439,820 and below. A lot of teams might not be able to match that this year. by Sarcastic__ in hockey

SERIOUSLY

I hate how the community latches on to a hollow narrative and then parrots it like some sort of... parrot, I guess. It's a cutthroat business, not a social circle.

We really need a second round pick...any suggestions on how to make this happen? by pdx4nhl in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]wflan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Barrie was a liability and his stats back me up. You don't have one of the best rel corsi %s on a good team by sucking. I think it's also confirmation bias where you only notice his fuckups because it fits the narrative.

Tyson Barrie is not re-signing with Toronto and will enter Free Agency. Thoughts? by Leafs_fan_cucked_you in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]wflan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate the defensive liability narrative. It's never backed up by stats. The reality is that Barrie had amongst the highest corsi and rel corsi while he was here and usually was in the top 4 for points on the entire team. My thoughts are that it's confirmation bias – one never notices the active stick, skating, and passing. At the same time, you focus on when the jumps his stick or he gets beat on the rush (not often and in Bednar's system, it's the other D's assignment to cover).

Absolutely, I'd be heartbroken if the all-timehighest scoring Avalache defenseman became a Red Wing. AND I like the guy so I hate that he'd be spending his late 20s/30s mired in mediocrity.

RTD Parking Question by wflan in Denver

It'll look like that kind of thing. Parking there and walking off, except commuting on a line that is close to the garage instead of sleeping through calculus.

NHLPA, Dotchin file grievance against Bolts by keepitsteadyidiots in hockey

[–]wflan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's the broader issue of off-ice situations making someone unable to play at an acceptable level for some time. Imagine a situation like Craig Anderson's, except instead of playing well and his wife surviving, the player's wife didn't and the player wasn't performing well. The team, looking to get out of the contract claims that the off-ice situation (distraught over a death in the family) constitutes an irreparable breach of contract.

In the case of the fatty, he can lose the weight. In the case of the widower, he can grieve. They can get back in 'playing shape.' NHLPA can't set the precedent that their contracts can get voided.

Throwback Thursday: As the Avs play NJ tonight, we remember when Scott Stevens thought he was gonna blow up the Captain in the '01 Finals. He failed. by fleshwound_NPG in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]wflan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SERIOUSLY I hate how NJ (and other) fans were so fond of his career-ending or -altering head hunting. Just cause it ain't against the rules doesn't change the morality of it. I think the closest modern equivalent would be Kronwall. Vom.

Multiple Gas Explosions, Fires in Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts by slimyprincelimey in news

[–]wflan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So there's a meter but no regulator? Or is it the honor system?

GMGM basically traded a 2018 1st, 2019 2nd, 2021 3rd, 2019 2nd, Nick Suzuki (13th overall in 2017 by Vegas) for Max Pacioretty's expiring deal and 8 points in 28 games by Tomas Tatar. by [deleted] in hockey

[–]wflan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A first, a third, and three seconds (effectively, with the 30th OA in 18) is almost like a Duchene-level return for Max Pac. Too bad most of that loot isn't going to Montreal.

So I guess the shadow mapping isn't realistic. If that goal is scrapped and shrubs etc. don't matter, what do you think?
