I realize I have gotten more liberal over the years but gawd damn center left can you stop dropping to your knees in worship every chance you get around these tech losers?

Yea, Joey between the pipes ain’t the problem.

Joyless is a great way to describe this team. A negative vibe just permeates the ice when these guys are going. Maybe the new signings aren’t the kind to get the team up. Maybe the coaches aren’t the kind to get the team up. But damn, somebody needs to do it.

Gru was their big miss that first year. It was a good shot, worth the risk. Misses happen and you hope that someone like Joey can magically appear and fix it.

It just feels like regression from last year, which felt like regression from the year before. Nobody stays the same (except the LA Kings), you’re either going up or you’re going down. I don’t think there’s any mistaking which way the Kraken are going.

This season is burnt. The offseason needs to see either a rebuild or a serious move to improve across the entire organization.

I upvoted your comment but man I wouldn’t even take a freebie from Oracle. Just an absolutely rotten company and Larry Ellison is one of the worst humans on the planet.

Tough to see them doing anything this year and the coaching staff didn’t look to have any answers. You look at Detroit turning it around the second McClellan took over and I can’t help but think he would have worked wonders here.

Kakko was a good pickup though.

This was a team that was very well built the inaugural year. They had multiple scoring lines and a very decent defensive 6. They lost a bunch of guys quickly after and they’re going to have to rebuild sooner than later.

This is a team in bad shape, now and in the near future.

It’s tough to say City and Guardiola are at an end when he’s lost Rodri. It’s easy to write obituaries when you’ve lost the guy that holds it all together.

Rc Pro Am was pretty great.

This might sound better if I was stoned.

I’m 3 time zones away from my server and it hasn’t crashed yet after being gone for 3 days. I’m very proud of it.

An acquaintance helped close a deal for a stadium naming rights. It had been a multi year process, the negotiations were crazy, the company deliberated forever trying to decide if this was the best way to increase brand recognition and man that shits expensive.

So like a shit head that thinks he’s funny I started calling the stadium by its sponsor like 3 sponsors ago when I was around them. You could see the anxiety spike when I did it.

Your comment made me think of that. It’s hilarious. They would have had a fucking breakdown if they had heard someone say that out loud.

Anyone tried it?

Yup.

With the sheer size of the military, the people at the top eventually become senior executives types, more in charge of portfolios than soldiers per se.

So a soldier that high might be in charge of procurement of equipment for a whole country or region, or a couple of them could be in charge of the largest military units designed to fight.

2ID, the military unit covering all of South Korea and expected to fight if conflict with North Korea arose, has a two star boss and three one stars under him.

Brigadier general is a one star.

I wonder how long you could stand next to it before you got a sunburn.
