Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

Having grown up on ranches I'll take the barn smell of horse-shit over an Alaska dog kennel when breakup happens and the poop from all damn winter starts thawing and stinking.

You love that shit and you know it.

You love that shit and you know it.

I'm not sure what actually turned me into a cat person, my wife or living near a dog kennel for a couple of years. Those f***ers are howling at all hours and like I said, the smell at breakup was majestically malodorous in a magnificently malevolent manner.

"Your wife or girlfriend" is the only answer there ever is to this question, and you know it.

I don’t like LA weather either. I have allergies here every season.

Depends on where you are. I always lived a few miles from the ocean and the weather was near perfect 80% of the time. If you are in the Valley, then that's a climate hellscape. Actually, it just gets incrementally worse and worse the farther you get from the ocean.

 

[The Moops]

Oh boy. We're cycling currently in Florida, tomorrow from Panama City to Tallahassee. Hopefully the weather gets better when we get closer to Miami..

I was just in Panama City a few weeks ago!

Every place has its ups and downs. I'm biased, but Colorado has probably the "mildest" weather when it comes to North America, but even then there are some pitfalls.

Try living in the plains and having to worry about tornadoes all summer

Reed Timmer loves this. BIG TIME TORNADO!!!!

Reed Timmer loves this. BIG TIME TORNADO!!!!

That bloke is a looney, but obviously smart AF. Never seen someone get as close to as many tornadoes as he has.

Oh I'm in Nebraska, bro. A twister ripped up all kinds of shit just north of us. First time the sirens were going since I moved here 13 years ago and it WAS NOT just a drill/test.

Even thunderstorms are way more eventful here than they ever were in Colorado.

I’m not near the beach and not in the Valley, but I am closer to the Valley. I wish i lived near the beach because that’s the best place to live in LA. Would love to live in Manhattan Beach. That’s where many Kings players lived or still living there

 

[Pokecheque]

It's pretty crazy how much mountains/hills help. Here in Lincoln we don't get hit nearly as hard by the weather as Omaha just an hour away. They get nailed with everything the Great Plains has to offer, but since we're kinda nestled in a valley it (for the most part) passes right over us.

Honestly I have fond memories of the sirens and the storms. I don't get anything like it now that I'm in the mountains. Kinda sad my kids will never get to experience them.

Although on the other hand, they'll never have to be stuck at school for 3 hours in the hall like this because a tornado just touched down a few blocks away...

Oof. Never experienced this as a kid in Colorado obviously. I guess mine get to once they're school-age!

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Did this is the 70s as a nuke raid drill.

In the 80s they updated it and had us sit under our desks, I guess the thought process being that it would make anything left a little easier to identify by keeping it close to your known desk area.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Go Panthers Go!

McDavid is already a legend and a hall of famer.

But the next 4 games will be those you want to tell your grand children that you watched. If you weren't old enough to see Gretzky in 84. Remember this day.

 

[Avs_19]

That's obviously a slash but also an insane call to make in the SCF. I honestly can't believe it was called.

What if I don’t have grandchildren? Can I tell it to someone else’s grandchildren?

You think he's really going to pop off in the season opener and second game?

 

[the_fan]

Bye Oilers!!!!

 

[Avs_19]

Forsling is so good. So smart.

 

[the_fan]

Can I hear it again how Bouchard is better than Makar? The guy is total liability defensively it’s not even funny

 

[The Pwnerer]

Bobrovsky and this new era of Russian goalies are insane. Or course we just had to get the guy from Bulgaria instead.

You gotta play to be the best and Bouchard is still playing and therefore.... ok I lost it. Carry on.

 

[dahrougem2]

1 goal in 7 periods by the Oilers... not exactly going to have success now are ya?

 

[henchman21]

This really shows how much better the East really is.
