Post-Game Talk: Jerks 4 - Jets 2

[kanadalainen]

I waffle back and forth between Firefox and Chrome. Kinda depends what I'm doing. Generally I trust Firefox more, which is to say more than not at all. Maybe a little.

I have adblock plus which is fine for all the browsers, but never tried Ublock.

Ublock origin lite is really good. Now I need to figure out how to login with a non phone based app. My phone is fine but my texting speed is slower than typing - texting a sonnet is gonna suck.

Yes, if only all of those hockey professionals were as smart as you!

Not like they didn't like build and coach the top team in the best league in the world or something.

Maybe you can build a bunch of robots that will play exactly the way all of your charts and graphs say they will - then you'd be super happy! You wouldn't have to worry about the many complexities and intangibles of a team sport like hockey!!!

I'm having a little chuckle here because it was your posts about the ignore list that prompted me to put 4 or 5 posters on there... and the guy getting your BP up is one of them lol

You're 100% right, it enhances the experience on the site. Remember.. when you're arguing with one of those posters, you're not actually arguing about the hockey player in question... you're arguing over the graph or chart that poster is basing their entire opinion of that player on - because they don't understand the game well enough to form it any other way

Don't know the answer to your question but it's almost like if you aren't a sponsor the site doesn't work well . I haven't had any problems but i'm a sponsor.

Thanks man! That part is fixed - but now my access is locked - except for my phone. I’ll stumble along with it until I figure out this log in issue.

@bustamente and @10Ducky10

Thanks for your help, especially the advice on ublock origin lite, it works great!
(Ublock origin lite + Chrome + Mac M1)

Now I just need to figure out how to fix my HF log in problems... its killing the vibe.

Exogenously inflicted breaks from HFBoards is not much fun.

Thanks - it worked great until yesterday but then I found I needed to replace with ublock origin lite. Back to normal with Chrome as my browser.

There was a notice at the top of the page during this weekend which said they were aware of log in problems for some users and were working on it. As for the ad blockers go a notice a few week back that U Block Origin was no longer supported by Google Chrome so that's when I switched to the Lite version and like you said it works seamlessly.

This is an odd defense of Stanley - appealing to the authorities who were so clearly wrong about him in the first place.

I find it hard to believe anyone is still defending Stanley. He's not what you'd call a "fan favorite" (at least among Jets fans...Jets opponents probably love him).

If the smart people had said "Hey, this guy is a bad pick here and he's being overvalued because he's huge" and then he'd turned into a Top 4 defender, then maybe you'd have a case. But the prediction became reality.

He's a borderline 3rd pairing defenseman who's been a liability on an otherwise pretty excellent team. A giant organizational blind spot, sunk-cost fallacy in action, who's been given unlimited chances to improve while the Jets let other defensemen walk away for nothing or die on the vine.

The best we can do is shrug resignedly and accept the fact that they're never giving up on this guy...no matter what it costs.

Also, I don't know why you're complaining about my robot army...and saying my post was a hissy fit. Seems like a bit of an ad hominem (but I guess I do often mock your terrible judgement, so turnabout is fair play )

Even they themselves deepdown know about 64. Last season they forced him into the lineup to end the season upsetting the bottom pairing, forced themselves to ride it out to end the regular season, got burnt by it in the playoffs, only to drop him towards the end of the Avs series. I guess this season they forgot about the burn and are touching that hot stove again. I hope it doesn't cost them as this is a great team and with an aging core and pending UFAs they may not get many cracks like this in the future, it would be a shame if an issue with the team that people have been pointing for years cut this run short in the post-season.

And you're right atleast normie Jets fans who don't visit HFBoards or hockey social media loved guys like Mark Stuart and Brandon Tanev. I have not heard any of my "normal", "casual" Jets fans say anything good about #64. Ironically, the only place I see him being defended is 2-3 posters on HFBoards.

Firefox is the way to go on desktop

Or Brave, IME. We’re locked into secure systems here but on the odd occasion I can stumble out into the atrium and try to catch a 2-4 AM highlight on me phone I’ve had good luck with Brave and FF.

Looking forward to seeing Schenn bring on his best Dillon — soz, Stu — and hopefully get a more mobile partner who can complement him.

Every 3rd pairing has been benched for mistakes ... so why would Stanley get special treatment was my point.
This goes for any work place ... if you treat your employees differently you are going to run into problems.
Good read from Sportsnet.

Stanley reminded of small margin of error as Jets gear down for playoff drive

Though Jets defenceman Logan Stanley had a solid five-game stretch after the 4 Nations, his overall body of work hasn’t been strong enough to justify an everyday role on a Cup contender. Jacob Stoller tells us why.

www.sportsnet.ca

If its too long to read here's a tidbit ...
"We’ve seen 51 games of Stanley. Enough to know what he is — and what he isn’t.
With Luke Schenn now in the fold, Winnipeg has added a player who embodies everything that it hopes Stanley becomes.
The 35-year-old, two-time Stanley Cup winner Schenn excels at clearing net-front traffic, winning one-on-one battles and killing penalties, and he’s registered the third-most five-on-five hits per 60 minutes of any defenceman this season (15.43). And as a veteran of 1,057 career games, Schenn knows when to pick his spots. He may be five inches shorter than No. 67, but there’s no denying he checks all the boxes of what Winnipeg wants on its third pair. "

Just for the record - I am all for benching Stanley, especially after his struggles the past couple of games.

In my mind, it only makes sense to get the other guys some reps anyways, considering we may need them in the playoffs and it would be better if they had some game time.

My only problem was the assertion that Arniel was going to 'lose the room' because of it
