If only Simon could score lol

at least he is making things happen..chances for rebound and whatever...

 

[canadianguy77]

Oh we definitely have a weak link there Bob. He hasn’t scored a point in 15 straight.

Terry is taking both Dumo and now Letang to school

 

[Pancakes]

Man Terry has some sick mitts

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I think the wrist is still bothering him. He isn't taking every faceoff, and he is extremely gun shy about shooting the puck unless someone gives him a one-timer pass. That to me suggests the wrist doesn't feel great, or that he just doesn't trust it yet.

I’m leaning towards not trusting it yet, worried it might get back to being painful like it was before, he’s dealt with it for a few years now, so I can see him slow playing it.


Also, Boob Errey with the Gin & Juice joke. *audible groans all around*

 

[AuroraBorealis]

CDS saving his career right now.

Terry ain't no flash in the pan. Guy is playing some sick ass hockey.

Terry and Zegras are fun to watch. It’s funny, Eakins didn’t seem like he’d be there for much longer but this year that Ducks team is pretty fun to watch most nights.

Smith in Ottawa sucks though, what a bad coaching hire.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Steve Jobs also decided to do a juicing diet instead of getting legitimate treatment for his treatable cancer so I dunno if I trust his opinions

Few if any folks are infallible, but that was indeed poor judgement on his part. Einstein made mistakes, too.

CDS saving his career right now.

Would be happy to shop his ass at the TDL to land a veteran back-up.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Bob Errey getting called out for his bad jokes is just, lol.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Why even take the shot there's literally zero traffic lol

 

[vodeni]

wtf is this tonight with the refs

 

[eXile3]

Ruthless negotiator as well.
Guy was about everything besides people in his life.

hhmm I don't know about that. He was a brilliant marketer, great strategic thinker, and sure a hard negotiator. Like the Apple falling on Newton sometimes the story is easier to summarize through one person. A lot of people contributed to their success, like the ones who built the products, but it's often attributed to him.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Matheson always feels like he’s on the cusp of figuring his shit out the way Niskanen and Schultz did here, but then he pulls back, it’s frustrating as hell to watch. The skill is there, but the hesitation in his game is killing any momentum he shows.


Also that’s a sketch call.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

It appears that defensively the players are on board.
Jerseys look good

 

[The Old Master]

wtf is this tonight with the refs

make up call for missing the offsides

 

[Andy99]

Terry and Zegras are infinitely more offensively skilled than anyone on the Pens rn

 

[vodeni]

should we give Velucci some props this year after we shat all over him last year

 

[Honour Over Glory]

His greater forte' imho was attention to the smallest detail, likely attributable to his being on the spectrum, but it worked for him and his companies for the most part... while driving employees, colleagues and family crazy for sure.

Ruthless negotiator as well.
Guy was about everything besides people in his life.

Jobs also stole ideas, fear mongered at the company, and was generally disliked by everyone that met him and he disowned his own daughter. The bloke is a word I am no longer allowed to use here even if it’s filtered, but let’s just say he’s a see you next tuesday. When I worked in Seattle/Bellevue in software/tech, he’s still respected for what he did, but his methods are a great lesson of how to destroy morale and how it would be the best way to ruin your career in today’s climate.

He was an epic piece of shit for the tl;dr.

I type this on my MacBook while I look at work on my iPad Pro and answer texts on my iphone setting a timer on my Apple Watch.

Never had more faith in a PK in my life

Listened to this story on some random podcast.

Some CEO met with Jobs.

There was an agreement and all they needed to do was both CEOS sign. Both boards made the agreement.

Jobs was like so 250 million. CEO says wait we have an agreement. And Jobs is like yea we do but if we just block your company from Apple products how much Is your company worth?

Jobs brought a contract down like 100 million 30% of its value in just a couple of minutes.

Crazy.

 

[canadianguy77]

I usually don’t put all that much thought into the best pks of the league because I think a lot of it is pure luck, but this group of pk’ers is actually pretty good.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

It’s been the most consistent thing this team has done in a while. Outside of consistently screwing the powerplay up.

Vellucci (i believe?) has done godlike work with this band of tits.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Kap's playing so much stronger on the walls these last 2 games.
