I only post links over there, but this individual probably represents an above average IQ for your standard poster these days Can't get the basics of spelling or geography correct let alone understand private equity You can feel the fog of idiocy opening the app. Incredible anyone stays there

Penguins new owners come from private equity. There is speculation that team has a new internal budget. They ditched local ECHL team and some local concessions Private equity will ruin the things you love They absolutely do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. hockeyhotstove.com/penguins-own...

hockeyhotstove.comPenguins Owners Don’t Deserve Benefit Of Doubt - Hockey HotStoveThere is speculation that the new owners of the Pittsburgh Penguins have instituted an internal budget on the team, the Hoffmann's come from private equity

went to put on football as background noise and had to nope out of it right away. insane choice to make mcafee a main character of their network. he is the biological form of the lowest common denominator

The night for Ville Koivunen: CF 19 CA 5 CF% 79.17 xGF 0.79 xGA 0.15 xGF% 84.14 (defensively responsible) Game winning goal in overtime with a highly opportunistic taking of time and space Among Pens w/ 100 min played he leads in xGF% with 62.60 3rd among Pens with 100 min at 5v5 pts/60 at 2.04

It brings me absolutely no pleasure to report that... I may have some concerns for the first time in 22 years. He just doesn't look engaged, which is shocking to see.

Sid has gone 5 periods without a shot.

I don't like Novak on the power play. It doesn't have anything to do with him losing his stick there. His strengths are moving with the puck and controlled entries. His skill set isn't conducive to in zone power play time. I think a guy like Koivunen is better suited in the role moving forward

I think Novak does some really nice things and b/c of those things I assumed he might be able to do more, but he always leaves me looking for more than I get He is good. Wish some of those other things would click. Skating and hands are plenty good enough He's be a complete menace in men's league

Why can't the puck drop at the listed game time? The NFL can do it and they have an entire ecosystem devoted to every minutia detail and will talk about anything. Even they get out of their own way to let the games start.

My opinion for tonight's game is pretty straight forward. You can't lose to the Predators at home after the road trip you had. Injuries, sickness, whatever. Figure it out one way or another

Oh the new private equity owners of the Penguins have set a cash salary cap on front office? What a shocking development as they ditch ECHL team and other local businesses to prop up their out of town investments Getting Mario to show up more often isnt going to paper over this with the fan base

That one Hoffman came out on the ice with Mario at the home opener to dead silence when he was announced. That might be the high water mark because I'm guessing if he elicits a reaction from the crowd in the future it won't be the one he wants

Maybe I'll be wrong, but everybody's default starting point with private equity ghouls should be they only want what is best for their wealth and they will ruin the things you like. Until proven otherwise they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

There is nothing redeeming about the Rays Tampa tried to steal the SF Giants (The Giants!) Baseball is about ambience. They play in the absolute shittiest ballpark there has ever been. Atrocious on the eyes, pathetic. Got bullied out of being the Devil Rays b/c they are weak losers

if i was playing a full season in any of the older baseball games i would simulate every single game played in Tampa because even in a video game it looked so dumpy

The only thing I think about with the Connor Hellebuyck trade drama is how apathetic I am towards their gold medal. I feel nothing. It should be such a cool thing. Just an unlikable bunch of goobers that went out of their way to be an unlikable bunch of goobers (still love you, Jake)

The assist was really nice by Koivunen, but it wasnt even his best pass of the night. He had that slick alley-oop backhand pass that was going to spring a Penguin for a breakaway if 71 didnt get called for a trip behind the play He is learning the pace of the NHL and he already has the hands/mind

The way the staff has deployed the forwards this year hasn't made a lot of sense. You move Novak to wing now with Kindel out? Is there even a plan to try and get the most out of Chinakhov? Why is Robertson damned to the 4th line all the time?

So these are the lines from today's practice. Kindel should be back relatively soon, but Rust is out for at least 6 weeks Novak-Crosby-Rakell Koivunen-Lapierre-Malkin Kuzmenko-Lizotte-Chinakhov Soderblom-Dewar-Robertson

Big picture, this is pretty relieving. This is essentially fainting. Like when people who hate needles get a shot, dehydration, etc... This isn't meant to minimize what happened and impact it had on him or the other people on plane. That would be intense Just that his path forward seems very +

Wes Crosby@othernhlcrosby.bsky.social

Kindel had a vasovagal episode, which is a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure that reduces blood flow to the brain.

Until society is willing to make an example out of the tech bros (interpret that however you want) we are going to have to navigate severe mental health issues caused intentionally for profit. I know what the kind of people who do this deserve. Perhaps one day
