GDT: ECSF Game 2: Carolina Hurricanes vs. YOUR NEW JERSEY DEVILS, 8PM TNT

[Devs3cups]

from the morning skate it sure sounds like its gonna be 11/7 with Brendan Smith as the 7

What from the morning skate makes you believe that’s the case?

That sucks man. It's absolutely awful when you're looking for a new job. I just went through some of the same shit myself. I had been looking since August, and finally got an offer in mid-March, and started a few weeks ago. Some horror stories from my job search:

I went through 8 interviews over 3 days with one company (that I had worked at before) only to find out that the job had been basically promised to an internal candidate, and I had no chance from the start. Why waste everyone's time?

Another company tried to interview me for a different position (which I was not interested in) than the one I applied for, then tried to gaslight me that I had applied to that one.

Another company had me interview with the hiring manager and 4 others, and told me that I did great, they loved my qualifications, and they would be fools not to hire me... but that they would be passing anyway because I didn't give some bigwig a "warm and fuzzy" feeling. I'm a data scientist, not a kindergarten teacher, so what the f*** does "warm and fuzzy" have to do with it?

The company I finally landed with was responsive and transparent, interviewed me for positions I was interested in, gave me timely and honest feedback, and made a strong offer which I accepted. Incredible how many places can't do that.

WOOF

Congrats on the job, though. I've also been on that grind for a long time, and it's just enervating,

Got some good news though. Just got off the phone with my other good opportunity, and they're flying me out to SF some time in the next couple weeks. Very different position, at a tiny company, but since my hiring manager is the CEO it's been pretty straightforward, lol.

I don’t see how you could watch what Carolina did to us and conclude that Smith would help at all. He doesn’t add anything that we need to counter them. Luke at least has a unique skill set.

Who's the third?

The EBUG.

 

[MasterofGrond]

third is timo, we know he's great and stopping things with his face

Last paragraph is spot on. My wife has been looking for a job since December immediately after she started her new one, wound up quitting her job in January since she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and is now finally waiting on a formal offer from a place she really likes.

The lack of responsiveness from various HR reps has been infuriating. She followed up with one that we felt good about but had ghosted her for about a week, and they responded "we'll pass" as if she asked her if she wanted dessert.

If you're hiring for a role and you like someone, just f***ing hire them. Don't make it such a production.

I don’t even mind those so much. If I never get a response, whatever. If I get a summary rejection, fine. At least I know where I stand, and I don’t get my hopes up.

It’s worse when they take you a few more steps down the path, then ghost you. Or they have you go through the whole thing, only to find out at the end that you never had a chance. That’s the worst.

If we put Smith out there as 7D vs. the Canes fire Ruff on the spot

More slow physical guys are exactly what we need in the lineup!

 

[Richer's Ghost]

He's dressing Smith to insert for whoever screws up first on D and benches them. Great strategy.

 

[TF1970]

TG also said Lazar didn't stay on late either, but Boqvist did.

 

[MasterofGrond]

can we get a wood benching again

 

[Nocashstyle]

I refuse to believe they would go 7/11 for the benefit of Brendan Smith. That’s absolutely mind blowing if that’s truly the case.

Brendan Smith is a former Hurricane. It makes sense

Ruff sabotaging game 2 to follow the same script as round 1

 

[Rhodes 81]

Given that they didn't skate lines, there could be subterfuge going on here.

tell me what to feel

 

[Ripshot 43]

I don’t see how it’s so difficult for this damn coaching staff to make decisions based off of what I want as a fan.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

tell me what to feel

Ecstasy that it isn't Wes again.
