hockey has such a complex system for prospects. I understand it probably exists for a reason but it feels so difficult for a layperson to comprehend without it being ELI5'd

“Jagger Firkus” is a hell of a name

dang, two goals in 12 seconds for the Canucks

I never knew he had ~10 years in the NPB before he had come over. He’s one of the very rare Yankees that I don’t despise

Ohtani just passed Matsui for most HRs by a Japanese player in the MLB. Kind of surprised it already happened but I guess that goes to show how prolific he’s been

lol that was such a bad goal to give up

hahaha I put “Pom” because I thought his name was spelled “Pomonarev” but didn’t want to google it. Whoooops

that Lowry shot/goal(?) was so weird looking

honestly didn’t seem clear that it went in on the overhead cam

yeah I guess. Admittedly I had forgotten about Acciari and for good reason

tbh I don’t even know what I’d do with someone’s license plate. Can I just Google it and one of those “person finder” engines somehow find the owner?

so is Pom considered in pole position for 4C right now?

being reminded of what we got does make it feel better but it’s such a ridiculous coincidence that our PP tanks once we get one of the best PP guys of the last 15 years like I’m not even blaming him or anything. It’s just a bummer seeing it look so worthless for such long stretches. So that negative...

well, it wasn’t stupid. And then you arrived

a person in my friend group had our $50 on a Rangers-Red Wings game a few weeks ago despite not knowing anything about hockey I wouldn’t say I’m a super proficient gambler but I’ve been doing it for 10 years and I know all sports pretty well and man it’s crazy how loose people can be with money like...

the last couple of posts really make me want to get back into the corporate world

with a player like Graves, how do you even “coach him up” at this point? he’s old enough to have inertia in his play style and unfortunately that style is “being bad”. No defensive awareness, not quick enough to recover and doesn’t really do anything offensively

self-immolators need to choose their spots better because it’s becoming perfunctory

possibly for the aviation thread but I would’ve assumed that the teams would own their own jets; not charter them through an airline. Especially not United


I guess that means the Rays probably use Spirit

it’s Shyster-tier

dodint still elects to kill the children

I've been in the Salesforce world for the last 8 years which has a proprietary language called Apex, which is similar to Java, and also Javascript I wouldn't say I like it, but it's more of a nice little niche. For me it's less about the language and more about the application/product and how engage...

completely caught off guard. I had noticed that someone else was in the 1:1 with my boss but I assumed it was his secretary who helped to set up the meeting I admit I'm not the hardest worker of all-time (because **** that noise) so I'm guessing my boss and the guy who's absorbing my team discussed ...

tbh the “how many kindergarteners could you take?” convo is more interesting


though this is where being short will hurt me. I’m sure someone who’s 6’2” 250 would have a much easier time. I bet some kindergarteners would make it up to my shoulders

I can't imagine him not wanting to re-sign here. He already has 3 Cups so I don't think he cares that much about chasing another'

tbh I can see him taking a little bit of a pay cut, even
