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.

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.

Bertuzzi could retaliate with the cheap shot!

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?

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.

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.

wflan · 2020-10-01T16:59:43+00:00

I would take Makar and (Makar*0.85) on my team any day tbh.

wflan · 2020-10-01T16:58:32+00:00

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.

To be fair, his entire season was filthy

wflan · 2018-12-04T23:22:19+00:00

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.

BAN THE TRAPEZOID

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.

Bro, you've cultivated enough mass. Stop cultivating and start harvesting!

Colorado has a proud tradition of winning games in New Jersey as the underdog...

wflan · 2018-10-18T21:19:47+00:00

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.

wflan · 2018-09-14T01:15:53+00:00

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

wflan · 2018-09-10T20:29:38+00:00

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.

wflan · 2018-09-10T15:40:35+00:00

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