Damn, Duolingo hasn't gotten to that quite yet. I'm still at "Sinä olet hauska ja komea/kaunis"

Is this guy our 2C yet? Or are Bednar and Cmac playing the long con? Bury him on the fourth line so when it comes time for an extension he's happy with 8 years 2.5 millions. Then boom he's the 2C and potting 25G 45A for peanuts.

Sucks to suck Parsinnen. Woods making the same dollars while eating nachos in the press box. Should've fired your agent!

 

[Murzu]

Yea, we don't have articles or prepositions. Finnish language has case endings.

Because what you do with prepositions, we do with cases (a large part of it anyway)

The more I study other languages (I'm perusing so many on Duolingo these days) the more I see how English makes no sense.

English is easy to learn because of the exposure, it is the linqua franca of Earth. But if you actually try to study it like many other foreign languages, it's pretty damn hard compared to some of the others.

I think I know English pretty well, I've had top grades in English all the way from basic school to polytechnic. I never actually studied English or tried to make sense of any rules. Never did homework. Just spend enough times with video games and internet forums, and turns out that's how you learn to use a language. By actually using it.

Indeed. English isn't easy, but at least here in Finland we hear it so much in our everyday life that we get used to it. TV, movies, social media, video games etc.

RuneScape taught me a lot more English than my school did . Not to talk bad things about my education, not at all, but a 9 year old kid having to figure out that you have to "buy a fishing net to catch shrimps" or "mine iron and copper ore and melt them together in order to get a steel bar".. yeah, it did a lot .

50 ways to mangle Colorado and not one mention of the River.

This guy has some high end skill that's for sure. Like the assist he made last night. Very very nice. We have seen him do this before with nice moves, passes. Glimpses of brilliance.

He just needs to improve his overall game and you could have a very good player in him. Very good talent.

Hey me too! Although RS was proper English, not American English. I think school might have been the same way. Then you have American English coming at you from media.

English kinda sucks because of how many exceptions there are that need to be memorized. Other languages can be more structured so they are easier to learn without being surrounded by them.

Bedsy for some reason refuses to play him. He's been really good after his first few games, his speed, puck protection and IQ are all really good

I feel like a line of Lehky-Pars-Necas would be really solid, replicating the line Marty played on in Carolina

Bednar takes time for players to gain his trust. The lazy, slow back check he had that led to a goal a handful of games ago probably reset his trust-o-meter back to zero. But I agree he's played really well lately and he will eventually earn more ice time with Bednar.

He's definitely added to the depth of this team, much better than the shitters we were rolling out before on the 4th line like Wagner, Tynan, Prish, Innala, Felhaber, Olausson, Smith, etc. etc.

Good pickup by CMac.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

For whatever reason he and Mitts have latched onto each other the last couple games lol. Odd couple

 

[NMAvsman]

Really liking Pars...just hope we can develop him into what I THINK he can be. A 2-3rd line center looks possible. He needs time in our system...so not expecting a jump until next season, but who knows. Maybe 40pt floor with 60pt ceiling?

He's been playing on the 2nd line for a few games now...

2nd line in name only.

4th line minutes.

I think if you add-up the TOI since Necas and Drury joined you'll likely get something very close for all forwards except the 4 PP1 forwards. Bednard seems to have moved to a 1st line + 3 3rd lines models. At least until Nuke comes back.

Indeed, English is really grammatically anarchic compared to many other languages, but sooo many words makes it fun to write and speak. Btw Danish is also very random grammatically and has similarities to english in that regard. But we have 10% of the words of English, so we just steal english words. In fact Danish has become a creolized English-Danish language. Old people, like me, like to rant about it.

 

[BrickNHL]

I'm loving this pickup, I hope he can find some more offense in the next few years.

While Finnish has been said to be one of the harder languages to learn, one thing it has going for it is that the spelling/phonetics is always the same. Unlike English, there are no 5 different ways of spelling an a, it makes the exact same sound regardless of the word or where it is in the word. Always, no exceptions.
