I dunno, we're a bit of an acquired taste. I can imagine a newbie to the area looking at this and giving it a hard pass.

I don’t know, I think she’s got a thick skin and she’s a smartass. She’d fit right in.

Part of the issue is that Twitter simply is not a platform for in-depth discussion.

I refuse to join for this reason.

In fact, my opinion is that The Athletic is overrated. They obviously have longer content, but not necessarily "in-depth." For example, I was following one of Pronman's prospects Q&A. A reader questioned him as to why one of his concerns with Connor McMichael was speed when McMichael had the second best time at the CHL showcase. Pronman's response was basically that their was "too much noise" in the test. That sticks in my memory because I would think a straight-line speed skate test has the least noise of almost any measurement.

Pronman is seriously one step away from one of us. I’ve seen some of the most nonsensical video analysis from that guy. The more in depth he goes the less sense it makes. I’m skeptical of the Athletic in some ways as well. I do however think it’s awesome that all these people that were good at their jobs generally, yet were losing their jobs have found a forum and a way to make a living. I have no problem paying my subscription but I don’t view what I get from it as revolutionary. It’s one stop shopping for league wide coverage which is nice. When I was much more passionate about all this I used to have the sports section of almost every city in the leagues newspaper bookmarked so I could go through them and get the goods. Now it’s all right there. That’s amazing. There’s plenty of mediocre filler in there too though.

So uhh... hows about that hockey game?

We would know if she properly reported sports stuff and not other crap.

Forgot this was that thread! Did anyone else think the first line messed with the puck too much and didn’t bear down on the finishes after Svech’s goal? Almost cost us the game. I love having a first line, but watching them giggle at each other after they failed to finish over and over again on plays someone has to finish will get old quick.

Jesus, this is the social media equivalent of saying she deserved the sexual assault for wearing sexy clothes. Its basically saying she's not qualified to speak about sports and be taken seriously unless she purposely hides her looks. Pretty much the exact misogynistic bull**** she has to deal with time and time again online.

Like, this says more about you than her. A lot more.

I don't think the clothing is relevant, but it does seem like she baits idiots into trolling her so she can score some points on them. I think that's a savvy move from a self-promotion standpoint, but it's a bummer for people just looking to get some fun hockey content. But the number of people just looking for hockey content <<<<<< the number who love them some good internet drama, so it makes all the sense in the world.

 

[AD Skinner]

It looked like they were actively trying to get turbo a goal more than they were trying to just score any goal. I fell asleep in the third but I assume they cut that out once the cushion was gone

 

[Borsig]

What if her political leanings were in tune with yours?

What does it matter to you?

My views are this:

Leave people alone and stay out of their business.

Like I said. The provocateurs always out themselves. The very fact that we're discussing it, instead of hockey, only reinforces my point.

It felt Svech was on a mission to get Turbo goals.

svech has to shoot a couple of those. His shot is too good.

They really didn’t have any time after cushion went away to see, though I agree I’m sure they would. A three goal lead isn’t enough (though it should be), hopefully they figured that out after last night.

But you just try replying "Sister, this is not the sort of baiting I follow the accounts of hot internet women for", and see all hell break loose.

Love what Sara brings to the Canes coverage. But, she's 26, sarcastic, opinionated, and produces a TON of social media content...she's going to make mistakes with what she puts out there, for sure. Lempo might be the only one who regularly posts in this forum who doesn't make similar missteps.

 

[SeaBasstian]

Maybe I am confused.....she is paid to write articles on The Athletic. No one pays her to say or do what she does on Twitter. And shenisntndirevtly tied to the franchise. Who cares what she says politially or otherwise on there? Her articles are great. If you don't like it. Don't follow.

This is like having only your personal phone number listed on your business card, and explaining to people that it's not your business phone.

That's because Lempo's smart enough to keep his jaw-droppingly offensive remarks to DM.

I would take the time to answer this, but it's Wednesday, which means I have a shipment of lotions, chains and donkeys that I need to go see about right now.

WHAT BREED OF DONKEYS BY THE WAY?

So you go on a rant about what Sara posts, complaining about it, calling it bullshit, saying she should go back to Boston, etc....

And then say your views are "leave people alone and stay out of their business"?

It's easier if she was in Boston.

I THINK ENGLISH SPEAKERS HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE CONCEPT OF SAYING LETTERS THE EXACT SAME WAY AS THEY ARE WRITTEN.

In the first grade we had all the letters on the class wall, plus "the äng sound", or the velar nasal, or ŋ. The NG in thiNG. We got the sound in words with "-nk-" (ŋk) or "-ng-" (ŋŋ) in them.

We were seven, but questioned hard this kind of utter bull**** where the letters fail.

You are confused if you don't think one directly impacts the other.

The Athletic actually went out of their way to hire people with established social media presences. Their business model depends on it.

KORVEN KUNINGAS - KORPIKLAANI ALBUM.

CZECH HAS THIS SOUND, (ALBEIT IT DOESN’T REALLY REQUIRE A MENTION) IN WORDS LIKE

“BANKA” OR “TANK”

FIRST TIME I REALISED, IT IS A SPECIFIC SOUND WAS WHEN I WAS 7 OR 8 LEARNING ENGLISH AND HOW TO PROPERLY PRONOUNCE -ING SUFFIX.

Fun word, kuningas. The word king, koning, kung etc. in various Germanic languages all stem from the Proto-Germanic word "kuningaz". Likewise, ring comes from "rengaz".

The Finnish loaned words kuningas and rengas are prime examples of Finnish being a linguistic freezer with very little imagination throughout the years.
