sports

[dim kettle]

Baseball was my brother’s thing. I sucked at bat.

[rustic mountain]

Tennis fucked me up

I couldn't play that for shit

[short flame]

I was 3 years a centre. I didn’t understand the game but I did my best

[rustic mountain]

Besides the only sports we played growing up where you had to pay to play were bowling and golf. Tennis was "for people with wine tastes and budgets" as my dad put it

[dim kettle]

The funny thing is I could bat down a puck randomly in the air with no problem. But couldn’t hit a baseball coming for me. lol

[short flame]

I have good technique. I can hit the ball very well but I can’t run and turn

[rustic mountain]

Funny how that shit works dude

[short flame]

So I rely on making the rival run and hope it’s enough

[rustic mountain]

I respect the hell outta that Sanjuan

I was bad at even wii tennis

But I'll fuck ya up in wii bowling. Perfect game and nearly two more

[dim kettle]

Sab couldn’t even beat Glass Joe in Punchout

[short flame]

I’m the worst bowler ever

[rustic mountain]

Kick boxing, let's talk

Bowling allies are nostalgic for me

My dad was nearly a pro bowler so we went a lot

[short flame]

I did 17 points last time I played bowling

[dim kettle]

I don’t have a good time in bowling ever

[rustic mountain]

Tbh neither do I now

But I love going to the allies

[short flame]

I have difficulty even hitting a single pin

[dim kettle]

In that’s saying something coming from a bowling family

[rustic mountain]

I always wanted to write a book with a bowling alley as the central location

Murder mystery type deal

Maybe one day

[short flame]

I wanted to write a snooker gag manga

Maybe one day

[dim kettle]

Sorry, sounds like a location for a 90’s sitcom

[rustic mountain]

That's the best part tho

I wanted to mix The Big Lebowski with Breaking Bad in a way

[dim kettle]

Just expecting the Power Rangers to show up in something like that. lol

[rustic mountain]

Nah not Breaking Bad

The Sopranos

Better comparison

[rustic mountain]

Why not do it??

[short flame]

I can’t draw

[dim kettle]

I’ve had the thought or two about making a hockey manga in the past. But it’s hard for me to do when I’m not a fan of sports stories/movies to begin with. I think the sports themselves tell the best stories

[smoky fable]

Lot of good shows

[rustic mountain]

Didn't stop Togashi for a while in Hunter X Hunter

[smoky fable]

Togashi stops himself

[rustic mountain]

Oh wait I forgot I am not in the anime part of the anime community rn

[rustic mountain]

I agree tbh. There are exceptions but majority. Eh

[dim kettle]

I can only think of Miracle. Which, (shocking) it’s based on a real event.

[rustic mountain]

I enjoyed Haikyuu for a good while

Kurokos Basketball was good

[smoky fable]

Red wings avalanche rivalry was pretty notorious

For NHL

[rustic mountain]

Slam Dunk I need to read

[smoky fable]

Please read

[rustic mountain]

Like the whole way through

[dim kettle]

A shame that can’t happen anymore with those teams

[rustic mountain]

Thing that suck is I like how clean the shonen jump/viz manga apps are and literally NO ONE ELSE DOES IT LIKE THEY DO

[smoky fable]

Liked haikyuu since it got me into some interest with volleyball. Kuroko no basket was a guilty pleasure to binge through

[rustic mountain]

K-Manga and Manga Up are horseshit, Crunchyroll manga has nothing

Haikyuu is cool, I still cant watch a volleyball match ever

[short flame]

But I need good drawings for what I want from the story

[dim kettle]

Sports manga haven’t clicked with me.

[rustic mountain]

I get that. I've had many ideas I wanted to turn into graphic novels but the art portion would be such a hurdle

[smoky fable]

I know the creator of golden Kamuy made a hockey manga again. No idea if people are enjoying it but it’s there.

[smoky fable]

Would have to get a good illustrator

[dim kettle]

I think I would okay with a one shot at best. I couldn’t sit through a Slam Dunk.

[haughty moss]

sports manga is gas

🤌🏾🤌🏾

aw yeah gotta peep the hockey one there’s like 10 chs out

[rustic mountain]

I tried to find one tbh

But nobody seemed on board

Oh well

[short flame]

Oh where can I get it

[haughty moss]

mangadex

[smoky fable]

Hard sell on the idea sounds like. Ah well

[smoky fable]

The football manga Eyeshield 21 was entertaining even with its flaws. Although it’s pretty different from American football that we know of

[dim kettle]

As someone who’s between picking whether to make a manga or light novel. Human anatomy is gonna be tough to learn the older you get. But I think anyone can draw. Just the ideas you can make from it.

[rustic mountain]

It's not that I think I'll never be able to draw

I have like the very very lightest skill on it

It's more

I'll never make the art the way I want to

So I dont wanna try

[dim kettle]

The reason I’m leaning toward light novels is because I’m decent with creating and coming up with character designs. The same can’t be said about backgrounds. Just don’t have that drive for that.

[smoky fable]

Not worth the time and effort to get there?

[dim kettle]

Took me the last 6 years to get close to what I want. Takes a lot of patience and learning. And time. Which in adult life seems like it get’s shorter.

[smoky fable]

Got to be verbose with the descriptions

[dim kettle]

Indeed

[short flame]

I’ll go give that a try what’s the name?

[haughty moss]

dogsred

[dim kettle]

IDK. I’m still in the middle of what I want. I just look at Oda’s work and see how much he loves drawing the islands and I just don’t have that feeling. Never saw myself as someone who puts feelings in my surroundings.

[short flame]

Thank you

Oooohhhh

[rustic mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/office-michael-scott-thank-you-gif-5278681

Feels vindicating to read that. We might not actually win a game more this year

[haughty moss]

https://tenor.com/view/cristiano-ronaldo-champion-facepalm-cry-gif-5673474

[dim kettle]

You’ll have the Oilers for the time being

[rustic mountain]

And and and and the Huskies!

https://tenor.com/view/husky-jump-gif-5032060

[rustic mountain]

Vinny agenda on thin thin ice

[haughty moss]

cooked soon

[dim kettle]

I’ve already channeled out CFB. Getting the same feeling for the NFL too

[rustic mountain]

I have to have the Huskies

New England aint got shit the rest of the year

Literally one more winnable game on the schedule and its the Broncos who stuck around with the Chiefs

[dim kettle]

I actually forgot about the Thursday night game till earlier today.

[rustic mountain]

I am mostly checked out besides the Huskies and keeping up with pickens

Pickems

I like running it

[dim kettle]

The NFL is more unpredictable this season.

Can’t even get a W in the pickems so far. That’s just how much a lot of things have been different.

[rustic mountain]

It's been nuts man

So much inconsistent bakl

Ball

[haughty moss]

pats stink but I still got saturdays 🫡

[dim kettle]

All hail the Buckeyes

[smoky fable]

Already tapping out on the canes?

[rustic mountain]

Same boat Ryo

Different color lifejacket

[dim kettle]

The Canes I already knew it was a ticking time bomb. Only a matter of time before hockey came back.

[weak gull]

We shall see….yall need 2 more years of suffering imo

[celest zephyr]

and then the lightning suck

[dim kettle]

[celest zephyr]

https://www.cbssports.com/nascar/news/fan-controlled-sports-to-have-fan-controlled-car-in-nascar-xfinity-series-season-finale-at-phoenix/

that's going to go very well

about to crash into one of the contenders

and then pretend like its not a big deal

[dim kettle]

What could possibly go wrong?

[rustic mountain]

Lions fans, so vindictive

Vinnydictive even

And to think Gronk was almost traded to you (if he didnt threaten retirement)

[celest zephyr]

patricia should have been enough

[desert palm]

And the Rangers lose their first game in the MLB postseason

8-5 Astros

The Rangers still lead the series 2-1

But it most definitely would be preferable if they can finish it out in Arlington

[weak gull]

It’s probably just me, you’ve had enough success to deal with some suffering

You haven’t even hit a decade of it

Small time numbers

[desert palm]

@weak gull you chose that life to be a Detroit fan

I don’t need that suffering

[weak gull]

Was born there, you don’t get a choice

Those who opt out are losers!!!!

[desert palm]

I personally agree but some people feel the opposite

I have a friend of mine who grew up in Brooklyn has no connection with Indianapolis or Indiana, massive Yankee fan, but for the NFL he is a Colt fan

[weak gull]

Folks can do as they please, but I def stick to the roots

[desert palm]

Your parents decided the wrong city

[weak gull]

Eh, it was that or Minnesota

The pain was inevitable

[desert palm]

Hold up Illinois

[weak gull]

What about it?

This place is mid

[desert palm]

OK, truthfully there are not many states you could’ve chosen from

[weak gull]

To me it was only 2. Minneapolis where my dads from or Detroit where my moms from. I’m Detroit raised primarily. Easy choice

[dim kettle]

Yeah, I can’t disagree with that…

Had to sit through the Devil Rays. The horror.

[weak gull]

And also detroits teams have had success outside the lions. Hell I was alive and watching most of it. It’s not that bad, the lions have just never done much is all

[desert palm]

The “luxury” of growing up in NJ and having choices

[dim kettle]

Imagine being a Knicks or Nets fan

I’m lucky I didn’t follow in my Dad’s footsteps and become a Jets fan.

[desert palm]

I mean sure the Pistons in 2004. But like that’s about it buddy.

Don’t forget that same season

In the MLB

[weak gull]

That’s more than most will ever see lol

[dim kettle]

The Red Wings and Pistons had success in the 2000s

[weak gull]

Also the wings have 2 cups in my time

[desert palm]

2003 Tigers

[dim kettle]

The Wings were the Yankees of hockey for a long time.

[weak gull]

That’s 3 chips I’ve seen lol. More than most May ever

[dim kettle]

2001-02 Wings still are the last OP team in hockey

[desert palm]

When you say see, do you mean like actually seeing on TV or in your lifetime?

[weak gull]

Yes lol. The wings last was in 07/08, I was playing hockey and watching by 5

[desert palm]

Shhhhhheeeeeeeeesh

You got me on that man

[dim kettle]

The Wings were an empire for a reason

[desert palm]

I didn’t watch the 2009 World Series because I was a buffoon that didn’t appreciate baseball let alone any sports.

[weak gull]

I was in Minnesota often. You start hockey early out there

It got too pricey as I got older and I liked football more. But hockey was the first sport I truly understood

[dim kettle]

Considering I saw my Lightning win the cup my first year being a hockey fan. It took me a long time to actually appreciate a cup win.

[desert palm]

Honest to God, the first sport game I ever watched in my life was the rematch Patriots versus Giants 2012 Super Bowl. AND THAT WAS ONLY BECAUSE MY BROTHER CLOSE FRIEND AT THE TIME DIDN’T HAVE ANY TV BECAUSE HIS PARENTS DIDN’T LET SO HE CAME TO OUR HOUSE TO WATCH IT WHILE I WAS WATCHING I THINK NICKELODEON!!

[dim kettle]

Hockey state

[weak gull]

Absolutely

[dim kettle]

Even Big Time Rush are hockey nuts

[weak gull]

True goats

[desert palm]

You know, I actually just reference them in my college class earlier today. What a coincidence

Someone said halfway into something and I hummed the halfway there song

[weak gull]

Just the culture, especially when you were as far up north as I was. They started teaching me to skate around 3

[desert palm]

Yes, this is why I am still very upset of the Yankees for messing up 6 seasons in a row in the playoffs. And, not even making it this year. I want to see it I want to see the World Series win and have a taste of the glory that everyone else in my class experience because they were not Neanderthals, like I was.

[desert palm]

Honestly, I’m surprised that the twins don’t have so much weather problem, considering how North they are

Same for the Tigers

[dim kettle]

They used to play in a dome.

[weak gull]

Tbh outside the winter, it’s really not that bad. But the length of the winter tends to vary. It’s around November-April that snow really chooses to occur

[desert palm]

They don’t play in there anymore for a decent while already and their current stadium doesn’t have a retractable or fixed roof

[desert palm]

Hmmm

[weak gull]

But the early spring tends to be more winter like than fall.

[dim ledge]

I prefer the snow and cold tbh

Despite being a Mediterranean boy

[weak gull]

I do as well

[desert palm]

I hate both

I hate heat and I hate cold

And I hate humidity, which is the worst being in the East Coast

[dim kettle]

I have to get used to snow.

[weak gull]

Michigan is a lot more prone to snow storms in march and April than October November

[desert palm]

You are leaving Florida?

[dim kettle]

I’m in Jersey rn

[desert palm]

Ahhhh

[desert palm]

When are you going back?

[dim kettle]

Haven’t been in Florida in over 7 months

[desert palm]

Ohhhhh

[dim kettle]

I live here now.

[desert palm]

You live in Jersey rn yikes.

although I can’t lie, I think I would feel safer if I was in Jersey right now at my hometown, then in Brooklyn

[desert palm]

NJ Bros!

[dim kettle]

Yeah, this place is hell. lol

[dim ledge]

it aint that bad

and brooklyn is actually like

fine

its just super super super

SUPER

gentrified

Astoria for life <3

[dim kettle]

Brooklyn’s great, eh, Mario?

[dim ledge]

👎

its losing its cultural identiy and that makes me very sad

[desert palm]

Depends where

[dim ledge]

true, but like

[dim kettle]

I’ve been there for an Isles game. It was… odd

[desert palm]

I mean like east New York is not at all

[dim ledge]

90% of it atp is gentrified

Queens is hanging on, thank the lord

[desert palm]

It’s really more like Prospect Park

Like that area of Brooklyn is pretty gentrified I’m not gonna lie

Flatbush and Midwood are still basically the same

[dim ledge]

ehhh i'd say Flatbush is pretty gentrified

though im speaking in comparison to, what

10-15 years ago?

[desert palm]

I would argue that Midwood has become less gentrified, if that makes sense in the past 15 years

[dim ledge]

i've only really gone as far as brooklyn college campus

so i can't really say there

but i'll take your word for it

[desert palm]

The thing is that I know so many people that moved out of that area

[dim ledge]

just what i notice in brooklyn nearly everywhere I go now, just jersey rich kids getting an apartment there paid for by their rich parents

[celest zephyr]

Pretty hit and miss for that here. Some fluke ones late october- early November and some also in march-April

Rest though is pretty similar

[dim kettle]

I’m never in NYC enough to tell a lot. Definitely could tell Brooklyn was gentrified. But I’m saying that not being there in over 5 years.

[dim ledge]

Astoria will always be my love

[celest zephyr]

Bunch of snow around October - April

Mostly like January - march now

[weak gull]

Yep.. never really know when winter really wants to start or end.

I’d say march and April def get more snow usually than the two early fall months

[celest zephyr]

Though Toronto is about as north anyways so not surprising

[desert palm]

@dim kettle do you recognize the Ballpark?

[dim ledge]

[celest zephyr]

Same here lol

Especially the past few years

Been getting cold later as of late

And still kinda hot sometimes in December

It’s wonky

[weak gull]

Yeah, march basically is winter atp

[celest zephyr]

Yeah here same

[weak gull]

First day of spring don’t mean shit 🤣

[celest zephyr]

Really tails off like early-mid april

[dim ledge]

i have one boy in minn who swear that shits lasts half the year lol

[dim kettle]

The Blueclaws place. Yep

[dim ledge]

but honestly, heres my thing

i can take a long winter if its actually snowy and not bullshit ass dry cold without any snow

[desert palm]

I had to get ready for Sabbath, so I wasn’t able to go to the game that day, but I at least wanted to get like a good view of the exterior of the ballpark before I had to get going

[weak gull]

Last year was dry ass cold for the most part other than January

Watch us get slapped this year though

[desert palm]

It’s so funny that the people of the town really don’t care about the team but like it’s so popular in around every other Township

[dim kettle]

I was in NJ for the Christmas time last year. I remember the wind chill was nuts at least for me.

[dim ledge]

lmfao i know you're totally serious and thats a very real thing but i always think of the Larry David CYE scene when i hear sabbath and baseball

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10F2tJE2Iv0

[desert palm]

It is what happens when the entire town are mostly Yankee fans with some Mets fans that don’t give about a philllies minor-league team

[dim ledge]

classic

[weak gull]

I won’t forget my first year of undergrad, they fucking closed the university for 2 days cause it was that cold

[dim kettle]

You just find ways to bring this show up. lol

[dim ledge]

just speaks to how well LD connects his show to irl tropes

[weak gull]

Like -14 and -67 with windchill or some shit

[dim ledge]

thats wild lmao

literal blistering cold

[weak gull]

Midwest was froze over for 2 days

Whole campus at Michigan was shut down. A lot went home before it hit. State was asking everyone to put the heat at 65

[dim ledge]

is it mostly gas heat?

or oil

[weak gull]

Gas

[desert palm]

I was at a friend of mine’s house, and on of the ALCS games in 2017 was on a Saturday. Obviously the family didn’t leave the TV on, but one of the kids had their phone on, and I believe they made sure to leave the MLB notifications visible every time it came up.

[desert palm]

So, during the time when we were all schmoozing and relaxing, we were also getting constant updates that the Yankees were losing

[dim kettle]

Let’s put it this way. You go to a Wal Mart in Florida in January, you’re finding winter clothes. I thought getting to 50 degrees was nuts.

[wet onyx]

can anyone ballpark how much szn tickets for the rays would cost?

[dim ledge]

thats incredible lmao

[desert palm]

It might have been game seven

[dim ledge]

"oh honey who scored"

[desert palm]

It was more like his older brother came to the living room told us Yankees are losing, and we all just sighed in disappointment

[dim ledge]

i love it

my first gf in high school was orthodox and i got a taste of that culture, once they found out i wasn't jewish her father was very very displeased with me and wouldn't allow me back in the house lmao

[desert palm]

Makes sense

Personally, even if it’s the playoffs, I actually just turn my phone off completely, and I only found out the score afterwards

[rustic ore]

https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2023/03/20/rays-season-pass-cheap-tickets-standing-room-only/?outputType=amp this is from this previous March

[dim kettle]

Remember 2017. When many thought it was the start of great things in the Bronx.

[rustic ore]

Don’t think 2024 season tickets have gone on sale yet

[desert palm]

I have a playlist of every talking Yanks episode after the playoff lost each year. And the optimism level, for the next season, of Jimmy and Jake gets lower and lower and lower

[wet onyx]

that sounds suspiciously worth it

[dim kettle]

The glories of Rays baseball. Amaze you in the regular season, and then only manage to score one run in the playoffs.

[desert palm]

Did you guys see that game three of the NLCS at Chase Field

The prices went down insanely low

There is no confidence from that fan base that the Diamondbacks will bounce back from 2-0

[dim kettle]

I would’ve been glad to just see my team in the NLCS.

[desert palm]

Covid definitely RobBed you watching your team in the ALCS or the World Series

At the Trop

[dim kettle]

Well yeah, imagine Mike Brosseau hit that dinger off Chapman, the Trop would’ve gone nuts

[rustic ore]

For anyone interested in WNBA LV became the first back to back champs in 21 years

[dim kettle]

Who?

[rustic ore]

[desert palm]

I completely forgot that the Liberty’s were even in the finals.

I don’t think any New Yorker cared

I wouldn’t be surprised if Barclays was partially empty

[dim kettle]

I don’t have enough time to watch the popular basketball as it is.

[rustic ore]

Kind of a microcosm of WNBA fandom as is

[desert palm]

I’m not gonna lie, and I know it’s very petty to say this, but they have a really cool team name but it took away a great name for an expansion team of the big four

Aces

Has that ⭐️ power

[dim kettle]

A’s still gonna find a way to make that a thing

[desert palm]

At this very moment, the Athletics president stated that they are keeping the A’s name

[dim kettle]

But marketing.

[desert palm]

Honestly, there’s a lot of ?’s right now.

[dim kettle]

Nicknames, damnit

[desert palm]

Lol

[dim kettle]

Welcome to the baseball world. Nobody knows what they’re doing

[desert palm]

Apparently they are supposed to be showing some real renderings sometime in November. And from what I’m hearing these could either make or break any plans

I’m personally neutral on the issue but we’ll see what happens

[dim kettle]

Will the A’s pull a Braves and complain that they were given to much rest before presenting renders?

[desert palm]

[smoky fable]

Really made Las Vegas a sports hub

They're getting a NBA franchise soon and they are looking to host a world cup venue in 2026 when Kroenke pulls away with Sofi due to him not wanting to pay to adjust the pitch size with no accomadations

[true hearth]

Goat 🐐 of ⚽ ? (aint no way discord made it called soccer)

[hasty basin]

It's happening isn't it

[celest zephyr]

That cheap ass mf is so annoying

Can’t believe dude got a stadium in LA

Dude you own a football team

Shouldn’t you know how important hosting a World Cup game is?

[celest zephyr]

Nah that’s just the regular Poole experience

Dude is sometimes amazing and sometimes does dumb ass shit

But he’s a good player

Just ain’t a good fit with vets

I like his fit with Washington cuz they just need him to hoop and develop

Not trying to win a ring right now

[hasty basin]

Imagine he somehow drags them to playoffs lol

[celest zephyr]

He could dude is talented enough

And they have Kuzma also

[hasty basin]

Tyus Jones not bad

[celest zephyr]

Avdija and Kispert also

Young ass squad but there is talent there

[hasty basin]

Yeah

Gafford is just a normal solid center

You know what you're gonna get

[celest zephyr]

10 players 25 or younger

Same with tyus jones. Just a solid backup pg

[hasty basin]

Cud be at PF as well not bad

Yeah

I did like him in Grizzlies

Just crazy talent at the PG so

Lol

[celest zephyr]

Gallo is a good vet also

Good to see

Young guys and no vets never works out

[hasty basin]

Know that first hand man

Was here for a minute but enjoyed him still

Damn Wizards have so many players

22

I just feel like if they're keeping this core they gotta depend on Jordan Poole as the main guy

Team just filled with a lot of decent and good players

[robust grotto]

Leafs night my guy @celest zephyr

[celest zephyr]

It’s just a development squad

See who to keep and who to not

And who’s worth trading

Hahhahaha

Predicting zero defense with at least one dumb turnover and possible scoring

Honestly if keefe wanted to take a risk I’d move domi to the 4th line

[robust grotto]

Has Woll started yet

[celest zephyr]

And if dude still sucks just trade him for a 7th

[robust grotto]

Dude how much of a bum has Reaves been so far

[celest zephyr]

Yes vs Chicago

He’s been okay lol

Barely watching rn cuz of school

But idk I’ll see after it becomes less hell

[robust grotto]

Gotcha, understandable

yeah that’s fair and Woll against Chicago makes sense, too bad you guys last but that was the right start

[celest zephyr]

"He and Miro Heiskanen were their two best players (in that series) for sure. They basically (in my opinion) won them that series," Giordano said. "He super calm with the puck, super slick with it. So, you want to have it in his hands as much as you can."

lol gio

[rustic mountain]

The new sixers unis are bad. That is all.

Boy, do the Saints look more and more like clowns for trading with the Eagles

It’s almost like I knew this was gonna happen and Loomis doesn’t know how to play the draft game.

[dim kettle]

Umm… Who even has the cap to claim him rn?

[torn gale]

Nike make a good jersey challenge (impossible)

[robust grotto]

Not a damn soul, especially for his output. I liked him his first couple years but when you’re on a team like SJ and can’t find a place… that’s a huge issue

Slovak kid, so I feel for him on a personal level but yeah. That’s a bad sign all around

[dim kettle]

I just remember he took a friendly deal and fell off a cliff faster than the Rangers after a game 2.

[robust grotto]

He really did fall off

SJ might be in the worst position in the league tbh

[dim kettle]

They’ve been for awhile

[rustic ore]

[dim kettle]

I will always say the difference between a LA and San Jose is LA went into cap hell with cups. The Sharks went into cap hell with 2 wins in a Finals.

[smoky fable]

Penning was a bust

[torn gale]

Wait I posted the wrong image

Nike still makes ass jerserys though

[dim kettle]

Can the NBA just bring back home and away unis already

[robust grotto]

Yeh, crazy that SJ was the more dominate regular season team for the majority of that time (if not the whole time) but nothing to show for it so.. in the end it stinks but that’s sports. Only 1 can win

Blake is turning out to be an alright GM

[dim kettle]

They’ll only be remembered for being reverse swept.

[robust grotto]

Drafts haven’t looked too good despite the high picks

But he’s been able to add players via trade and FA

SJ just.. can’t

[dim kettle]

They got rid of Erik Karlsson. So, the rebuild starts now.

Feels so long ago now when all 3 Cali teams were dominating the west.

Now it’s only the Kings being a jobber to the Oilers.

[robust grotto]

Yeah that’s fair

They’re really only paying 3 guys (off the top of my head, and 2 of them are pretty much close to the end anyway. They’ll have cap space and eventually they’ll make moves again

[dim kettle]

Now I understand why the Flames and Jets aren’t rebuilding. The NHL told them there was already enough tanking teams in the west, (Without directly saying they’re tanking)

[robust grotto]

Vancouver didn’t get the memo

[dim kettle]

Because everyone forgets about Vancouver

[rustic ore]

Isn’t that a lovely thing?

[dim kettle]

Please extend Loomis to a lifetime deal

How odd. A GM probably called about a trade but like you said $$$

[dim kettle]

No one was taking that cap hit.

If only Jim Benning was still GM.

[robust grotto]

SJ will gladly retain

So I bet that’s what happened. “ we want him but we can’t take that hit “

[smoky fable]

Saints fans also hate their OC Pete Carmichael now

[dim kettle]

🎻

[celest zephyr]

Yeah no one was taking him like half off even

Probably

[robust grotto]

I think you can only eat half at most so you’d have to get a third team involved if you’re cap strapped and really want him enough lol. NHL is in such a shitty spot with the cap

I think the majority of NHL teams don’t even have a full roster

[short flame]

The one thing we beat other teams at

They should multiply your points by the cap space left

[rustic ore]

Those kinds of niche stats are always kinda wild when put into perspective

[dim kettle]

Of course it was the same game where the Saints went from, “YES!” to “NOOOOO” in a few minutes.

CHEATER CHEATER CHEATERSSSSSSS!!!!

SOUND THE ALARMS TAKE AWAY RECRUITMENT MONEY SUSPEND FROM THE PLAYOFF

[weak gull]

Here we go with more bs

[short flame]

What’s a goalie that has your number?

[weak gull]

Someone shoulda let colson know the plays then if they were sign stealing

Cause that fucker is clueless some days I swear

[robust grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/tampa-bay-lightning-andrei-vasilevskiy-spinning-spin-spinning-around-gif-25716916

Actually, probably Varlamov tbh

[dim kettle]

Easily bests both NY teams.

[robust grotto]

Yeah that’s cool and all but at least we didn’t lose a playoff series to the leafs

[dim kettle]

Wanna challenge fate, huh

[robust grotto]

Fate shmate

The lottery.

[rustic mountain]

This makes all the Arizona getting Matthews jokes yall used to make even more funny

[robust grotto]

LOL

[short flame]

A goalie that spins? I don’t get it

[robust grotto]

Vasilevskiy?

But the real answer after I thought about it would probably be Varlamov

[short flame]

I don’t want your answer I want to understand what it means

[robust grotto]

Oh! I’m sorry

[short flame]

No worries

[robust grotto]

The question basically is- what team has a goalie that always kicks your ass

I just took it the next step and said the goalies name

[short flame]

Oh ok good for the rangers

[dim kettle]

Igor is Igor

[robust grotto]

Too bad a goalie alone can’t win you a cup

[dim kettle]

King Henrik sitting on his throne with zero cups.

[robust grotto]

Hasek would’ve also been there too had he stayed in Buffalo

Really if I learned anything from playoff hockey … the goalie helps, but won’t win you shit

[short flame]

It can’t even take you to the playoffs

Us would probably be the yotes keeper

[robust grotto]

Adin Hill, Brayden Holtby, Matt Murray, Jordan Binnington

[short flame]

Bob last year

[dim kettle]

A goalie will take you far… Until a Palat breaks thousands of hearts with one shot.

[short flame]

Hey come on now don’t insult the goat. He’d have won one if he had stayed home. I don’t blame him for going though only love for dom

[robust grotto]

How is that an insult?

[dim kettle]

You mentioned leaving Buffalo.

[robust grotto]

[short flame]

You implied he wouldn’t have won a cup if he stayed in Buffalo

[dim kettle]

99% truth

[short flame]

Only reason we have 0 cups is cause he left

[dim kettle]

No, because Buffalo has always been one step behind everyone else.

[short flame]

It’s underestimating how good he was

[short flame]

Not always been the case

[dim kettle]

And he took his ball and went to an better empire.

[short flame]

Yeah and I’m happy for him, I just think he could have won no matter the team he played at. He’s a floor above everyone else

I can argue plante, everyone else no

[robust grotto]

Had he stayed in Buffalo, they would’ve come up against Jersey and that ridiculous trap

Not at all a guarantee that Buffalo would’ve won a cup

[dim kettle]

Not to mention the Wings and Avs also existed on the West

[robust grotto]

Exactly

[dim kettle]

Like, the Sabres couldn’t even beat the third best team in the west in the cup.

[short flame]

I believe in dom

[short flame]

Sure because we didn’t have him

It’s ok

[lavish rain]

I love ronaldo

i follow the hardworking way of ronaldo

what an elite football player

[celest zephyr]

This month lol

Came pretty fast

@rustic mountain knies top 6 time

ngl kinda wish the first line was nylander-matthews-bertuzzi

and second was marner-tavares-knies but eh

moving marner to the third line and asking him to carry jankrok and minten seems pointless

[short flame]

That’s nice. I just wondered if they put the rj on every jersey or if I can get one

[celest zephyr]

i don't see one on my mine but i didn't order directly

maybe you can get one idk don't see clearly if they are selling or just wearing them on their own jerseys

[short flame]

Yeah yours doesn’t have one it’s on the front besides the nhl symbol

[short flame]

I’ll ask my provider

It looks really nice I just wanted the information

[celest zephyr]

yeah i know it definitely does

didn't check when ordering so no clue if cool hockey offers it or not

[short flame]

Wear it on Saturday it’s the first goathead match

[celest zephyr]

lol i will if i watch

[rustic mountain]

I am actually excited to see him used more

Will be interesting

[robust grotto]

Wait is this what you guys are currently doing? That’s ridiculous

He’s 26 and has put up 3 90+ point seasons… third line minutes (yes I know he gets pp time too) is CRIMINAL

[robust grotto]

This is really nice man

[celest zephyr]

nah its just something that someone suggested

obv he's going to be in the top 6

keefe still has on the first line but him and bertuzzi ain't working too well

[short flame]

I thought you were answering to the this is really nice man message from lunik

[celest zephyr]

lol i mean it was technically a bet

but yeah its nice so whatever

just man adidas jerseys are pricy hahahahah

i'm not getting another one anytime soon

[short flame]

Oh it was a bet

[celest zephyr]

yeah lmao

its nice but idk man shit's expensive

if jerseys were like half the cost i'd get one just myself

[short flame]

Yeah sports stuff is expensive

[robust grotto]

That person shouldn’t be listened to lol

https://vxtwitter.com/theathleticsccr/status/1715114436636066017?s=46&t=0dPhD14zL5uzVVpeHRQMfQ

This is SO BAD it’s not even funny @dim ledge

[proud coyote]

lmfao

[robust grotto]

Hahaha it’s honestly incredible how out of touch and soulless these organizations are. The team name, the logo, the colors. You just know they were in the design room like “hell yeah, this is going to be a HIT, good work gentlemen”

[short flame]

Why grey

[celest zephyr]

i could write san diego on a piece of paper and it'd look better

[short flame]

But kimmy you’re an artist

Give them a chance

[dim ledge]

MLS is an aberration

[short flame]

It’s not that bad. The branding is stupid but there’s a few nice teams. Montreal used to have a cool team now it’s nothing

[celest zephyr]

10/10 best logo design

[short flame]

I went for a name that the people of San Diego can relate to more

[robust grotto]

I’m in

[robust grotto]

Oh damn, this is good too man. Idk, good competition

[robust grotto]

Yeah the impact changed the logo for the worst unfortunately

[short flame]

Added a ball

[robust grotto]

We need Kimmy to have a chance to update his design

[short flame]

The logo is fine although I preferred the original but the name is stupid. I’m all for calling it football but the people here say soccer why go from impact to club de foot

[robust grotto]

Also @dim ledge confirmed good night? I don’t make the rules

[robust grotto]

That’s interesting. Trying too hard to be different maybe

[short flame]

They wanted a complete rebrand. It didn’t pay off

[honest umbra]

U know what’s funny

The women’s soccer team based in SD actually has a sick and vibrant logo

[short flame]

I did another logo for a certain nhl team

[robust grotto]

Dude this is sick

[short flame]

It looks really nice

[robust grotto]

Oh damn, the red wings looking good here 😂

[short flame]

[honest umbra]

Yea NWSL is lit lol

What is MLS doing

[robust grotto]

Hahaha, is that Gladius ??

[short flame]

No it’s the kraken

[robust grotto]

No I know, I’m joking bc the red wings use an octopus as a mascot (kinda)

[robust grotto]

Common MLS L

[short flame]

I even kept the cool S from their original logo

[short flame]

Of course who else would fit the kraken

[short flame]

Oh yeah

How can that thing be a mascot

[robust grotto]

Hahaha it rules though

[short flame]

Don’t mascots need to run around with the fans ?

[robust grotto]

And it’s bc people have a tradition in Detroit where they would throw an octopus on the ice

[short flame]

For the kraken rivalry?

[robust grotto]

Yeah exactly. It’s not exactly the mascot that dresses up and stuff

Detroit and NYR are the only two teams in the NHL without a mascot

[short flame]

Oh it’s another kind of mascot

[robust grotto]

No they’ve been doing it for a long time

Exactly yeah, I guess mascot is the only word, idk

[short flame]

Kraken foreshadowing?

[robust grotto]

Yep and Nashville fans like to throw catfish on the ice

[short flame]

You want one?

[short flame]

What’s with the nhl and merfolk?

[robust grotto]

Actually it’s cool, in Seattle they have like these fish plushies, and they have the 3 stars (after a win) throw one to the crowd

Can’t make ice without water

And no mascot, I’m good, thank you though

[short flame]

You sure?

I didn’t even know my football team had a mascot, I just went on their Facebook page to see when’s the next match

[dim ledge]

Soon ....

[short flame]

Juancho correlon

He’s named after me

Peak mascot

[celest carbon]

THE COW PIECE

THE COW PIECE IS REAL

[robust grotto]

NYR hockey sponsored by NY Hot Dog and Coffee

[robust grotto]

Elite mascot

[dim ledge]

It's all Ive ever wanted

[robust grotto]

But let’s be real boys

The best mascot of all time isn’t even debatable

[short flame]

[robust grotto]

West Bromwich Albion boiler mascot PEAK

[short flame]

It really is and she comes with a box of pasta

[robust grotto]

not even a close second dude

[short flame]

That has got to be a Halloween costume

[dim ledge]

Close second is....well, you know

[robust grotto]

I mean come on

[robust grotto]

ONO

MICHIOOOOO

[dim ledge]

God bless you Harry

[robust grotto]

NOT HARRY THE HORNET

[short flame]

Yo that toonie mascot is quite nice as well

[short flame]

That’s not a mascot. They forgot to do one and drilled a hole in a dishwasher

[celest carbon]

the cow piece is real!

[short flame]

[celest zephyr]

oda is real!

[short flame]

A cow in disguise

And the game has started

https://tenor.com/view/sabres-goal-buffalo-sabres-sabres-smoke-gif-19246614

And 1-0 down

[celest zephyr]

lol ovi held to no shots in b2b games

dude might be washed

[short flame]

Levi was clumsy there. It’s ok he’s inexperienced

[short flame]

Don’t say that

He’s peak

[celest zephyr]

might be was very soon

dude is old man

been a long and very successful career

[short flame]

Gordie did it so can he

[celest zephyr]

fair enough

[short flame]

He needs that record

[celest zephyr]

dude probably gets like 30 something this year

idk if he does tbh. do the caps let him score for 3 more years instead of rebuilding? its hard to say

reminds me so much of kobe's last few years

where the team just existed for dude to score and pad his stats

[short flame]

That’s washed?

[short flame]

If he takes a pay cut why not

[celest zephyr]

considering how good he was in his prime i mean relatively speaking yes lol

[short flame]

Sure but he’s still above average

Man Tyson jost is so bad

[celest zephyr]

yeah fair enough

idk if he gets 30 plus he's fine

but man ovi not being able to get shots on goal is wild

almost never hear that happening

b2b is just crazy

[short flame]

Was he playing top defences?

Levi needs to calm down. No pressure mate, almost let a second and third east goal

They probably have to make thousands of these. But god,

I’m lucky I haven’t had these problems yet

Huberdeau really scored not even a minute in the game. Flame fans really like to shit on him unfairly so far.

I arrived 2 minutes late it was already 1-0 down. Huberdeau was quite good throughout the game

[dim kettle]

He had a bad game in Washington a few days ago. The difference being Huberdeau actually looks like he cares. Kadri just looking like he’s only there to get paid.

[celest zephyr]

we are fucking trash man

Hahahahaha. You’re trapped with him

Trevling’s presence is still felt in Calgary though. That Kadri contract hurts to look at.

i say that and nylander gets signed for 8 years 11 mill per in two months

[dim kettle]

Soon, he’ll want to copy a random team like the Ducks.

He did that in 2017

[celest zephyr]

bahahahhaahahhahaha can't even be worse man

like unless the core somehow get their powers taken by the monstars this team can't get worse

[dim kettle]

High-End talent. Here I come to save the day

[celest zephyr]

our d core is reilly, brodie, mccabe, klingberg, lili gio

can't even do worse if you tried

and heck it'd at least be way cheaper

[dim kettle]

I wish I could say more about the Leafs rn. But I’ve only seen the opener for the Leafs so far.

I know the Bolts are facing them on Saturday. Which. Prepare for the 8-7 end score

[smoky fable]

Derek Carr is horrid

Get him off the screen

[dim kettle]

So much for being the answer at QB there

[celest zephyr]

nah you'll win 4-1

we can't score for shit or play defense

this team is somehow even more top loaded than before

[dim kettle]

Bolts can’t do both either rn

[celest zephyr]

don't worry they'll out grind the leafs and keefe will spew bs about how the team needs time to gel

and we'd rather win but we gotta preach patience

[dim kettle]

Goddamnit, Jets. You get the goal to tie it up and then allow a PP goal with under 5 minutes left

Yeah, the Sabres defense struggles so much in transition. Coleman had such an easy goal.

[versed forge]

Carr got benched

Hill is in

Oh nvm carr back in

[short flame]

Not just in transition

[dim kettle]

I know that. But I think that’s what stood out to me.

[short flame]

For me it’s the lack of physicality

Dahlin is good but I’m yet to see him tackle a guy

[dim kettle]

I mean, the 4th goal actually made me chuckle a little. Such a odd goal

[celest zephyr]

reminds me of the leafs hahhahahha

[dim kettle]

“Here. have the puck”

[celest zephyr]

got the same criticisms

[celest zephyr]

klingberg playing defense

[short flame]

And should have been 5

[celest zephyr]

dude is just a forward called a defenseman

[short flame]

I’m a defensive person

For me the defending comes first, know how to defend then go get your points

[dim kettle]

Backlund should’ve made that 5. He just lost the puck. Your man, Skinner cooking up the turnover

[short flame]

Skinner missed another 2 goals tonight

At least he’s shooting

Tuch and tage are still on vacation

[dim kettle]

Says a lot considering the Flames were playing their backup goalie.

[smoky fable]

Nah they just like playing hill

[dim kettle]

If they benched him, I’d would’ve fired Loomis after the game.

The team needs a rebuild. Not a retool.

[celest zephyr]

of course trevling's contract length isn't even known

ffs does this man have a 10 year deal or something

[dim kettle]

Maybe…

[smoky fable]

Olave has some half assed routes from what I’ve seen

[celest zephyr]

i'd mail it in if derrick carr was my qb

dude sucks

[short flame]

Teams come to our house with their backup keepers and get out with points. We’re that bad. I don’t know how we managed to get worse in the off season

[smoky fable]

How is this game tied

[rustic mountain]

The Aints came marching in

[celest zephyr]

yeah this isn a down year for the sabres

[rustic mountain]

I think Lunik the one dude who took the Saints

[celest zephyr]

back to the same old sabres

[versed forge]

Wow michael thomas

[celest zephyr]

nah he went jags at the end

[rustic mountain]

Oh did he?

Did no one go Saints lma9

Lmao*

[celest zephyr]

michael thomas doing something?

[rustic mountain]

Michael Thomas reception?? That time of the year already?

[short flame]

A down decade

[celest zephyr]

i think eman still has saints

idk if anyone else does

[rustic mountain]

Kimmy

Lunik still does

He never changed

[short flame]

We needed 2 defenders and a starter keeper. Was that too much to ask. We didn’t sign anyone and the good players haven’t turned up. We have dead wood on the team. Second line all should be in Rochester and every Defenseman other than power dahlin and Samuelson should stay home

[celest zephyr]

he did

[rustic mountain]

Jesus so bright

But

Okay you right

I really should wear my glasses more

[celest zephyr]

hahahahahaah lol

[short flame]

You want me to take a screenshot?

[rustic mountain]

No

No I am good

[short flame]

I’m in light mode

[rustic mountain]

You can keep burning your retinas

I know lmao

[celest zephyr]

lolllllllll

[short flame]

Only way I manage to see

[celest zephyr]

gotta combine both of your eyes to see both

[rustic mountain]

Idk how ya do it man

I can't at all, my work computer is even dark mode

[fleet orbit]

The jaguars are sometimes a bit too loose but man are they hard to deal with

[dim kettle]

2-2 series now in Texas

https://fixupx.com/mlbonfox/status/1715206425033736418?s=46&t=6zYeacLKll2-c8XNBTdvnA

RIP Saints

[celest zephyr]

Saints no timeout and its all over

Jaguars win

[dim kettle]

Moreau needs to get out of there. Avoid major road ways.

[celest zephyr]

What a drop

Happensbut man saints fansain’t going to be happy

[hasty mesa]

Big rip man

[rustic ore]

Jags how do you choke away an 11 point lead and nearly locked down until near the buzzer?

[hasty mesa]

Moreau needed to haul that in

Olave being locked up is whatever

It’s the play before that

Jags could’ve lost tonight

[dim kettle]

Jags really do need to learn how to play 60 minutes

[hasty mesa]

Here’s what matters though

I play against Ridley in fantasy

Had nothing basically all game

[honest umbra]

Wait he was active?

I thought he was just inactive

[fleet orbit]

Jaguars defense is still really good

Just maybe they gotta bend a little less

[honest umbra]

I hate bending

[dim ledge]

🌞

[short flame]

I can’t see properly in dark mode. I need luminosity at max with light mode to get the right view

[smoky fable]

I should have just stuck with benching him for Diontae Johnson

I should
