Pre-Game Talk: In like a Lion, out like a Lamb... 1 more at home, then 3 game roadie. Flamers, B2B at CBus/Hawks, and at B-Lose

It won't. It'll make things way worse.

I mean it's not a ton different than Stan giving Josh the keys to the Nugs and Avs. But i'd argue it helped a bit.

Do you know much about XAi?

Wonder if there’s some hockey that can be talked about

What is hookey?

It's not even close to as bad.

Wait a few month, it will be.

Is Elon going to buy that too?

 

[Pokecheque]

No it won't. It's not algorithm-driven, and it's not owned by a drug-addled broligarch. Obviously no form of social media is perfect but Bluesky is also not pretending to be a profit-generating enterprise either.

It very well could get taken down, but that'll happen long before it ever gets co-opted.

Calling Musk that shows your bias. But i don't care. I'm not much into politics.

But at some point BlueSky simply needs to generate money to survive. It's only a matter of time before it turns into the same shit show twitter was for the past decade or so. And there is nothing you can do about it. Signs are already there.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

The reality is that they all suck. Social media is quite literally the worst thing to happen to humanity in the last few decades.

That's a two-way street, bro. But I commend you for your efforts to bury your head in the sand. Pretty hard to do these days.

And not everything has to generate a profit in order to be viable.

Anyway, tonight's game kinda screams "trap" so I hope they're all just a little mad about the loss against St. Louis and come out swinging. That said, a Naz goal is all but assured.

The Avs post deadline in this lol..

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Puck drop in less than an hour and a half.

Somebody make a GDT. It’s an emergency!

We can see who was the school skipper here

#facts!!… although I cringe at the thought of having to be able to spell better. And my grammar and sentence structure without it. I pity anyone reading my posts.

They better win on Thursday. It's been years since they even gave an effort in Columbus. Gets real tiring to pay money to watch them sleep through a 2-1 snoozer.

I watched them destroy Columbus at Ball Arena last year. That was fun.

They're ramping up. Give them time. X is now owned by XAi which will hopefully help a bit. But X is basically just a conspiracy theorist subreddit board at this point. Grok is an interesting product, but the rest of the platform has really fallen apart.

Companies all pulled back from X and it's really just a freight train of Russian or aligned bots, OF models, and Maga.

i use x for sports and don’t see any of that. I have no clue what blue sky but between Facebook m, x, here that’s about enough for me…both sides of the political spectrum like to be outraged, buncha mouth breathers

 

[lionsDen]

Member when Avs fans lost their collective shit because Cmac traded Kovalenko?

Kovy is awesome, how dare you!

Yup.

I use it for sports and get to avoid all that other shit.

I have my own Lists too... "Avs" "Insiders" "Mets" etc. so I only see the accounts I want for that specific topic.

I find Bluesky to have more balance, and it's still growing. The photography and design community is thriving on there. Enough sports for my personal preference. The "For You" algorithm is MUCH better as well.

I've never met a "For You" algorithm I didn't loathe.

I don't want to have shit pushed at me. If I'm interested in something, I actively look it up. I don't want my feed to be one post from someone I know followed by scrolls and scrolls of advertisements and suggested content before finally finding another post from someone I'm following.

Anonymous social media is a scourge.

Wrong arena, Columbus here. I missed the one game in a few years that the Avs won, so my last few have been awful 2-1 and 4-1 losses.

Hoping for much better this time around.

Oh and who can’t love YouTube, you can get reviews on shit you’d never think ya could.

Druin - Mack - Lehky
Necas - Nelson - Val

I know its just 2 games but they havent done much of anything. Big 2nd lines is kinda good on paper, but it lacks something to work. 1st is missing big body in Val.

There isnt too many options to try other than those plus the one that has worked magic.

If they wanna go for the cup I would wanna have the working lines to be as good as they can through games to make them know where everyone is blindfolded. Nelson has like 20 games total anyway to fit in as 2C, so why change his wingers constantly? It might not matter in the end if someone is injured and you need to break them but whats the point because then there would be someone outside top6.

Its the small things which matter so perfect them and dont try to have everyting and be average.

I know I'm quoting myself, but that game went as expected with those top6 lines

 

[AvsCOL]

Central division has 3/5 top teams in PDO…

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Time to rest for the team. I don't see much point in risking anything. Play more the third and fourth liners imo. Give Makar and MacK a lot of power play time but otherwise try to reduce their minutes as much as possible.

Every player who has some injury just sit out. No point playing. It doesn't matter who we face in the playoffs as long as we make it. It will be bloodbath either way. This season there is no easy way.

Perfect time to give those guys more minutes who didn't play much and give top guys a small break before hell breaks loose.
