[Lempo]

2 losses at the same time?

Only a f***ing nitwit engage in a two front war.

So....

Am I on the hook for the next GDT since we lost both and the two negatives canceled out?

YES. You keep the streak. I expect you to last at least into November maybe December

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Team inexplicably goes 0-48-0 in its first 24 games…

 

[CanesUltimate11]

NC State first play of potentially the final drive to tie/win the game...another f***ing interception...f***ing joke

Yep. I get it, no timeouts and all but you have to know to eat the ball there. Still lots of time and you only need 3 points.

 

[The Faulker 27]

While it may take a while for players to get their game legs going after the off-season, it's clear that fans "bitch and complain" legs didn't lose a step over the off-season.

They keep those active year round.

I didn't watch either game, but this Tweet appeared this morning and it was the least surprising thing I could have seen

So we decided on mutual suicide

I have no idea why that dude is still in our system. He sucks and we have even more depth now. In no way should he be sitting in the box ahead of Chatfield. In fact I worry about chatty sitting too much. Just waive his ass if no one wants him

He’s our 9D and will likely be buried, I don’t see the issue

 

[Blueline Bomber]

We're paying him to be our 9th D and be buried. That's the issue.

Dundon’s money and it’s great depth. Doesn’t really affect the cap to bury him

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

We're paying him to be our 9th D and be buried. That's the issue.

Which is a non-issue. If he's buried, he doesn't count anything against the cap so it's no impact.

As for what he's getting paid in actual $$$, it's $850K which is meaningless as it pertains to creating a roster and Dundon's bottom line.

I thought this was Hurricane season, but they didn't do any damage to the state of Florida.



Kidding aside, it's just the pre-season, and... as Lempo said:

I didn't watch the game last night so posting this without any frame of reference.

Yeah, well that's unpossible. (I didn't see the game, just going with the narrative that Coghlan should be fired into the sun and Fensore is too small to even be on NHL ice)

Individual stats in a table....don't know if this approach is credible but Teuvo-Aho-Jarvis were the pits....Teuvo worst non-goalie.

I kind of feel like they deserved these losses for having the hubris to play two games simultaneously.

Lol, and here's me with the Ryobi hardware I just bought from a co-worker.

Ryobi is great stuff!

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Ryobi is great stuff!

That's not my experience. Ryobi is mostly fine for being relatively inexpensive stuff, but it's not great by any means. I've had:

Cordless drill: underpowered and batteries died early on. This was back when it was a 12V though so haven't tried a newer one. I suspect the newer 18V are better.
18V Cordless trim router: Absolutely sucks and almost unusable. Really bad product. The balance is terrible on it. The router bit wanders over time. Just not well designed or built.
18V Cordless blower: Works fine and I like it.
40V Cordless Hedge Trimmer: Liked it and it worked well..for a year. Then it stopped working after 1 year of light use. Trying to get them to fix it under warranty now which has been a hassle.
18V Cordless Jig Saw: Average. It does the job for a quick or rough cut, but for anything with some precision, it's not very good. I reach for my corded Bosch way more. Even my 20 year old corded Dewalt is better.
Corded Random Orbital Sander: Below average. Not as bad as the Ridgid, but not good for any fine finishing. Never use it any more.
Gas Pressure washer: Works fine, no complaints. Honda engine had an issue where I had to rebuild the carburetor after just 1 season, but I don't put that on Ryobi.

I suspect the reciprocating saw that Lempo has will be fine as those are for rough work.

I don't think I'll buy another Ryobi. Just too much inconsistency in the products.

I really only need to keep me from climbing a ladder against a tree with a corded chainsaw. Again.

I’m a big makita guy myself

hah. At my farm this spring, a large tree broke 1/2 way up and was still attached, but dangling down across the driveway. Only way I could reach it was by jumping in the bucket of my tractor with my wife at the controls. She lifted me as high as the bucket would go and I cut the dangling tree with a chain saw. Not a fun task.

That sounds like a safety video in the making
