Speculation: Another year of this Bluc **** (The 2024-25 season thread)

[King'sPawn]

Bitch stop lying. You’re only under 30 if you divide by 2!

I'm not THAT old even if I ramble like an AARP applicant.

man this dark mode only shit is no bueno

hurts my eyes

Normally I try to go with Dark Mode because I get migraines, but this color scheme isn't working for me.

He also took 2 penalties in those 3 games, each of which the Oilers scored on.

To be fair the oilers scored on every power play they had essentially.

Watching the PK get absolutely shredded while the coaching staff made zero adjustments was painful.

McDavid skates around, goes behind the net, opens the blade and passes to draisaitl who is half asleep waiting for the puck. Time and time again, while the Kings do NOTHING to block the pass to Draisaitl. At that point I’d have someone just mark Draisaitl and have the rest stagger on McDavid. Just makes no sense how they never adjusted.

Oh god do you remember when they just collapsed in front of the crease while McDavid was roaming uncontested. So f***ing stupid.

How do you switch to dark mode?

 

[kingsboy11]

How do you switch to dark mode?

At the bottom left of the page you'll see Xenforo 2.2 default. Click on that and select HFB2025.

 

[tny760]

oh gross it just defaults to my windows theme, if i switch windows to light mode, i get light mode HF and vice versa

switching to hfb2025 still doesn't do anything either way for me

 

[kingsboy11]

hmm works for me. Regardless this current theme is temporary

Fact Check: Did Los Angeles Cut Fire Department Funding by $17.6M?

Firefighters in Los Angeles are battling multiple wildfires that have forced thousands to flee their homes.

www.newsweek.com

This completely counters what you posted an is a "fact check article"




We have to have agree to disagree but I would personally trust Newsweek over politico

More on the budget and it not being cut: Budget Cuts to Fire Department Are a Point of Contention, but the Full Picture Is Complicated

“
A spokesman for Los Angeles City Councilman Bob Blumenfield explained that it is common budgeting practice that while negotiations are in progress, money for anticipated pay raises is not allocated to the department but approved separately in unappropriated funds.

When the two sides did reach an agreement in November, that money was moved over to the fire department’s pot, according to Mr. Blumenfield’s office, meaning this year’s fire budget is actually $53 million more than last year.”

Also, regarding the chief being “unqualified”, she has been a firefighter, paramedic, engineer, fire inspector, captain, battalion chief, assistant chief, fire marshal and deputy chief during her 22 years with the department and when she took the exam back when she started she was in the top 50 out of several thousand. Not sure what qualifications she’s missing out on.

I also find it peculiar that the same folks who want to blame her for what’s happening are also saying out of the other side that the fire department was being underfunded and no wonder this happened.

Hockey historians of the future will spend countless hours trying to understand how he got to 1000 games. They may never come to a consensus - since we cant figure it out in the present.

Here it is directly from a fire chief

There is it on LAFD letter head

Here's why hydrant testing was suspender for the fiscal year..

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

yeah i'm jammed on light mode

my poor old ass eyes

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Unless Blake is responsible for the wildfires, I think this stuff needs it's own thread.

 

[KopitarGOAT420]

And did you also realize that the Kings lost all three of those games after having a 2-1 lead in the series without him?

MUST HAVE BEEN HIS FAULT THEN RIGHT?????

 

[bland]

MUST HAVE BEEN HIS FAULT THEN RIGHT?????

Tell you what, watch the game for a few more years then get back to me when your constant remedial noob takes have some validity beyond your Xbox.

 

[Lt Dan]

this is what i have the displeasure of looking at and even if i go to my profile and change to light mode it stays dark

big big fan of the 25% usage of a 1440p monitor too

Man , I wish I am stuck staring at the sun.

I switched it to dark mode and nothing changed

Only thing Fiala is elite at is offensive zone blueline turnovers per 60 and taking dipshit penalties in defense of his fragile ego.

“lollmfao”

This is such a weak response to clearly being proved wrong. A recap...

Another poster highlighted the fact that Fiala has only 2 even strength assists this year and added something along the lines of "Fiala's better than this, I wonder what's going on".

Then you came in with "Fiala's better than that? You sure about that? Seems on point to me"

Then myself and at least 1-2 other posters replied to you pointing out that yes, Fiala is CLEARLY better than 2 even strength assists in nearly 40 games.

Then you half jokingly change your narrative to "the only thing he's elite at is o-zone turnovers per 60 and dipshit penalties".... Nice. Good talk.

Tell you what, watch the game for a few more years then get back to me when your constant remedial noob takes have some validity beyond your Xbox.

Lmao okay boomer

If you use chrome or brave try this.. will apply to all pages tho - i use it - it messes up some websites

1. To enable dark mode for all websites, you can:
   
   • Type "chrome://flags" in the address bar and hit Enter
     
     
   • Search for "dark mode" in the search box at the top of the Experiments page
     
     
   • Click the box to the right of "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" and select "Enabled"

Tbh, with the age of analytics here, I’d really be interested to see a “blueline turnovers per 60” stat.

Kevin would absolutely crush the leauge in that category. He has a handful every single game, and they kill the teams momentum.

Probably has something to do with his Jack Johnson-esque plus minus compared to his teammates.
