Player Discussion Alexander Ovechkin (Vol. 4)

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Had no idea there was such a large anti-flip flop contingent! Olukais are my daily wears in the summer. Arch support is key though. Cheap flip flops are worse than barefoot.

 

[kicksavedave]

Ya know what people who were flip flops a lot don't get? Stinky feet or foot fungus! Gross!

I walk fast and there's just no way to walk fast dignified in flip flops

Flip flops are not good for kicking peoples' ass. Therefore no flip flops.

Seriously though, if you've ever been jumped in public or had to run to or away from some emergency you probably won't wear flip flops again.

Plus I hate the noise. It's a weak beat without a decent bass line.

This is basically me. No I don't look to be kicking anyone ass unless its a proper go time. Lot of lessons ingrained from being around a good amount of fights in my teenage and early 20s. Also heavily influenced by my old danzan ryu jujitsu sensei in my early 20s which was extremely street practical focused/fight ending techniques but the mental aspect of maintaining disciplined threat awareness was the thing that I maintained the most.

Those that haven’t “flip flopped” .. simply need to try it (looking at you, @usiel)

Now I do have the below just for indoors only if I need my feet to be a little warmer without wearing socks and have to say is amazingly comfortable. I use a tempered glass chair mat essentially for my work/gaming center and bare feet on glass really starts to irritate the bottom of ones feet over time.

What am I reading.

To flop or not to flop. That is the question!

Our main man is on dry dock for a few weeks, so we may as well delve into other items for a moments levity!

But it depends on what you're going for, I'm pretty sure "la chancla" is just latina mother for "I'm about to beat your ass with this sandal"

What am I reading.

The thought of flip flops cause people to clutch their pearls.

 

[HTFN]

Hey, you never know when “what the f*** was that” is the difference between you fighting in flip flops or being barefoot with the upper hand. La chancla came after presidents.

Worst case, f*** ‘em and chuck ‘em

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Right I have different pairs of flip flops

Shower ones for the Hockey locker room because if you go barefoot in there, you deserve what you catch

Ones for indoor because I have pets and I don’t like getting my feet dirty, stepping on whatever they do

Stronger outdoor ones that can hold up to pavement and give more support

I like the reef brand prob just because the name

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Also, I came here to read about Ovechkin’s injury, update, and read two pages about flip-flops. I have now contributed.

Ovi loves his dip, look at that lip last night.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Ovi loves his dip, look at that lip last night.

Yes….but was he wearing flip flops??

I fully believe I have seen the main wearing flip flops. All his time in Turkey at the beaches?

Oh….. our man Ovy flops. I am sure of that as well.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Ovi doing the dads trip when his is RIP.
Thats why hes GOAT

That's a great interview with Boudreau. Highly recommend.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

“Semin I didn’t care about”……lol!!!!

 

[RedRocking]

Ovi loves his dip, look at that lip last night.

I dunno, he looks more like: “Sorry Mr. Bond, our time together has come to an end. Know that the exploding flip flops strapped to your feet are nothing personal. Farewell.”

 

[Midnight Judges]

That's a great interview with Boudreau. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately spittinchicklets has taken up the Don Cherry xenophobe mantle.

Later in the podcast they make a deeply researched and pathetic attempt to reduce Ovechkin’s goal chase into a Russia vs Ukraine thing. They go so far as to predict Vladimir Putin will be following Ovechkin from game to game, and once Ovie breaks the record, Putin will use it to give a political speech to justify the war in Ukraine and turn it into a display of political dominance over Gretzky - who apparently has some Ukrainian ancestry. They claim Ovechkin’s goal chase will turn into a political thing - as they themselves plant those very seeds. Of course, in typical backhanded passive aggressive fashion, they paint all these hateful and idiotic sentiments as being under the umbrella of them wanting Ovie to break the record - which is quite obviously the exact opposite of the truth.

 

[bacchist]

I can't wear flip flops. It might be a neurological thing. I have a movement disorder that impacts my balance and coordination, including my gait. So I have to hold use my toes to hang onto them with a death grip or they fall off constantly. Totally defeats the purpose of maximally casual footwear.

You have a time mark? I can’t imagine wasting 4 hours listening to anyone…..and….Like that’s a huge stretch for a madman?

The idiocy starts at 3:01:30

Jeff Marek - whoever that is - launches into a tirade about how he was talking to "someone" (in typical sneaky bigot fashion, he won't admit which bigot was spewing this trash), he starts focusing on nationality and asking "What is Putin going to do with a Russian beating the Canadian/Ukranian record?"

Then Bissionette idiotically asks "What do you think the probability that Putin is in the building when he breaks the record? 100%?"

And it doesn't get any less dumb from there.
