Hockey Randomness

is that photo made by AI? Nelson is (supposedly) 6'3", 210 pounds. that guy looks like the dude that just took up hockey in the local beer league at the age of 47 and bought junior pants so they'd actually fit. you know who you are. :pop:

Or, maybe, the 40 hour work week is outdated and the technology we have allows us to be hyper-productive in much less time. This idea of you should be working all the time for 8 hours straight is insane. It’s why there is burnout and turnover. It’s the typical “more, more, more” attitude that doesn...

We are going to Nashville next week for a long weekend. It's been about 8 years since I was last there. I'm sure a lot has changed. Any recs, some with and some without kids in mind? Biscuit Love for brunch. The one near Vanderbilt is less crowded but obviously, not downtown. https://www.biscuitlov...

GDT #57: Pens @ Flyers

I’d love to hear the explanation from the ref how it’s NOT a penalty shot. There is a qualification on penalty shots - and some refs take this to heart - is that if a player gets a legit scoring chance despite being impeded, they knock it down from a shot to just a penalty. Heinen certainly crossed...

The Phyrst in State College can be a neat experience, especially if they have table wars going, but I've heard that doesn't happen often these days and it's not the same as it used to be. It will probably be not too busy before the game, so if you like to drink Guinness I'd check it out. I always l...

I was surprised to see that a detour to Flight 93 Memorial only adds about 40 minutes to the trip between Pittsburgh and State College. When you're in State College, we really have pretty much anything you could want and depending on where you're staying and how many beverages you'd like to have, I...

Silo season 2 was decent, but very dark (lighting). Glad I waited to binge it in a few days, as the weekly cliffhangers got tiresome. Decided to listen to the books again to fill in the details. Good stuff. we refer to that as "dirty, sweaty, dimly lit" :lol: season 3 will vary from the b...
