Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XLIX: Covid Cup Edition

[Appleyard]

Tbh I think often jeans/well fitted dress pants and a shirt, if not seating and being semi-active, are pretty comfortable. Hate ties though.

Rask "Opted Out" from the playoffs (story)

Tuukka Rask reportedly told WEEI's Greg Hill why he opted out | Boston.com

Milbury and others should issue a public apology.

 

[tictactoe]

tradition is not about comfort.

 

[TheKingPin]

It’s odd to only really root for games to NOT go to OT.

 

[wankstifier]

Damn. I've never once considered this and it's gonna drive me nuts now. Imagine basketball coaches wearing the same uniforms as guys on the court.


I mean I guess it dates back to the days where players were managers but still, it's been a longgggggg time. Every other sport that began with player-coaches has shifted away.

I wonder if their balls would spill out of their shorts

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Good seeing skeleton version of jackets giving Tampa fits.

My Mancunian friend dresses precisely like this


Is this the way of your people?

 

[wankstifier]

Looks like there was some contact, but Sergachev spilled Vasilevsky

For me odd part when they make noise after a call when no one else but the players in the building.

 

[flyersnorth]

Jackets outshooting the Bolts 37-15. Bonkers.

Cooper made a dumb coach's challenge. Clear that the Bolt player tripped his own goalie.

Now they're down 4-2 and down a man.

I honestly don't know which team I'd rather play between these two...

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Sergachev is really screwing the Bolts today. Basically gave the Jackets two goals.

Had they given that as goalie interference then the NHL should just go ahead and ban skaters from the crease altogether.

Haha. I think Euros in general just love smart-casual. We also dont understand why North Americans in general wear such oversized suits. Only people in Europe who do are really old Italians and Greeks. Like where the pant legs scrape the floor etc. Urgh.

Blazer optional.
No tie.
Shirt.
Jeans/fitted dress pants.
Dress shoes.

Is pretty much most of the younger people at conferences, interviews business meetings etc.

Only place you cant get away with it is in "the City" in London. But f*** those guys.

I am a big blazer guy tbh. Have like 8 or so. But only 3 pairs of dress pants and one pair I can rarely get away with as they are beige with green and black crosshatching all over haha.

For Scandos jeans are a way of life as well. Weddings? Jeans and a shirt is fine. Business meeting? Jeans. On the boat? Jeans.

 

[Curufinwe]

Edmundson still out for Carolina. He was their #3/4 before getting hurt.

My friend has added only two American twists to that style, after he went to Texas and thought the whole place was wondrously ridiculous. He now wears cowboy boots under his pants, and a huge belt buckle.

He says when he visits home it gets a lot of positive feedback.

Funerals jeans?

Hahahahaha. That is awesome. Tbh I guess everyone is fine with it. Apart from in the City.

But unless you are a coke-head lawyer, a minor royal with a sexual offender record, or running a ponzi scheme I see no reason why you would be there really... (I have friends who work there who are lovely, but the whole place in my experience is like a parody of all the things that are bad about capitalism, elitism, classism and sexism rammed into one.)

 

[Appleyard]

Funerals jeans?

I think you could in Scandinavia. Depends on the specific funeral but I guess would not be crazy.

 

[tictactoe]

LOVE IT. What a game!

I think most of his family is in Oldham, so that's where most time is spent. He grew up in slums.

Haha. I went to school in Oldham despite growing up in "Manchester proper".

Yeh. Not a great place. Generally the most/2nd most deprived town in England.

Also the: Coldest and foggiest. And one of the rainiest.

Though the North East of Oldham (Saddleworth) is one of the nicest areas in Northern England.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

What a redonkolus goal

 

[tictactoe]

In that case.. you can have sex as Z, be citizen of the world and wear jeans, globalization is like that... wiping out who you are, roots traditions etc.. No need to put in grave either or even have funerals I mean what for? another shitty tradition.

 

[TheKingPin]

So we need a long OT to cancel the Bruins game and leave ours alone!

He lives in Norfolk (The one in Virginia that's sliding off the continent, not the original) because it's the rainiest area around; reminds him of home.

Oh, he also got a cowboy hat in Texas. I thoroughly enjoy being out with him when he wears that because you can see brains grinding to a halt when a guy dressed like a rancher starts speaking in a super-polite English accent.
