  2. I was perusing the Denver Post in order to relish in the Avalanche misery and I came across this… 1. Game 7 demons exorcised: The Avs entered Saturday night with ghosts aplenty. Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Gabe Landeskog and head coach Jared Bednar had never won a winner-take-all Game 7. They’d never come back to win a series. And they’d also never dispatched a team coached by Peter DeBoer, losing three separate series with the veteran coach behind the bench with San Jose (2019), Vegas (2021) and Dallas (2024). And those demons remain — for another year at least. In perhaps the most painful way possible. Mikko Rantanen, himself winless in four Game 7s, stuck the dagger in with two straight third-period goals (a third came on an empty net). Then he twisted it on the power play, starting a tic-tac-toe that ended with Wyatt Johnston scoring the game-winner from an impossible angle. This is the kind of loss that lingers for decades. The kind that leads to pink slips. 2. O'Connor strikes ... again: A four-minute power play came up empty in the first period, and the Avs had fewer than 10 shots on goal midway through the second period when Parker Kelly got sent to the penalty box. Naturally, that's also when Logan O'Connor did what he does best: Make something happen. And, of course, everyone's favorite greasy goal scorer did it on the penalty kill. The puck squirted loose along the boards in the neutral zone, and O'Connor went on the attack, securing the turnover and delivering a perfect centering feed to a rushing Josh Manson for a one-timer that Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger had no chance of stopping. It was O'Connor's fourth assist, and sixth point, of the series. And yet another reminder of how much his absence hurt the Avs' playoff run a year ago. 3. Going bust: Avs GM Chris MacFarland pushed all his chips into the center of the table for this one, executing eight in-season trades that completely reshaped the roster. Two remade their goaltending depth. Another seemingly solved the post-Nazem Kadri 2C problem. And the most explosive sent away a franchise icon in Rantanen ... who just so happened to be the one who killed their season on Saturday. Unlike their basketball counterparts playing a Game 7 of their own back in Denver, the Avs have never been afraid to take risks. But right now, after a second first-round exit in three seasons, the Avs have to be wondering if it was all worth it. All of their picks in the first three rounds of the 2025 and '26 NHL drafts are now gone. So, too, is top prospect Calum Ritchie. And that 2C solution? Brock Nelson will be a 33-year-old free agent this summer. A massive offseason awaits. https://www.denverpost.com/2025/05/03/avalanche-stars-game-7-mikko-rantanen-slapshots/amp/
  3. all those fuckers just jumped on the blade for him lol
  4. This is the same person who once said that if polls for him are good then they are real. If they are bad then they are fake.
  5. Dammit that brought back good memories! Thanks!
  6. you're missing the hidden message, her and the friend want a threesome
  7. Austin local news: “Many of you are probably getting tired of this constant rainfall interrupting your spring outdoor activities- well I have some good news, it looks like we will be quickly transitioning into a much drier pattern for the rest of the month starting this Wednesday. Details at 6.”
  8. Haha was just coming to post because IIRC you had expressed interest in a Revel. Going for cheap. https://revelbikes.com/shop-in-stock/?_on_sale=1 If you're a lil fella, or a big un. Some rumors that they may be rescued, but unclear what that's gonna look like.
  9. bet I can do this to that flag
  10. Getting more engaged in Ukraine against Russia has a shit ton of upside for the US economically and otherwise. It also helps to weaken Chinese influence by perception if nothing else. Which... isn't that a positive for the current administration? If the powers that be can't get their voting block behind combat efforts against the Russians they've got way, way bigger issues. Let me rephrase, getting US Republican voters behind military spending against Russia is/was something a democratic presidents could/did accomplish... it would be historically odd if the current administration couldn't.

  13. I've watched with envy in the past when superstars like Mac or Kucherov or McDavid absolutely put the team on their shoulders and win a huge game for them, basically by themselves. We've always been on the receiving end of that magic, and now we finally have a player capable of doing it. It's without hyperbole that I say Mikko Rantanen is the best player to ever put on a Stars jersey and he proved it last night. The Stars have been a conglomerate of good players with the teams getting the most out of every player to win. but now we're a band of excellent players with a superstar leading the way. Get miro and robo back and look the fuck out
  14. Me and couple friends usually cook, have a few beers and watch something damn near every Sunday. My girlfriend called me yesterday while I was cooking in a cookoff and asked what we were doing for the game tomorrow (today) because Lance was pitching and she wanted to bring a girlfriend and come watch. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Lance is killing independent George! Worlds are colliding!
  15. Did the bar have Capri-Suns or did she BYOB? LOL
  16. I will say that Cook is probably more likely to have learned humility from his recent experience than Shadeur Sanders. But that ain't saying much.
  17. Moved my squirrel .410 next to the door, bought a big bag of dog food, checked the propane tank levels, went for a jog on my land with the dogs. Can't beat the zombies if you can't outrun them.
  18. Didn't Aussie's start out on 6th street? I definitely recall some volleyball courts 1 or 2 in the back area of a bar... but... it was the 90s and I've had a head injury or 2 since.
  19. I don’t think so tbh. A small very vocal and active minority has been capitalizing on apathy. I think that is changing in some areas, and a new suburb that isn’t mostly white flight and California MAGAts is one of the places you will see it first
  20. Syracuse is a much better landing spot than I was expecting. Maybe (hopefully) a semester out of D1 football snapped him back to reality and he’ll take advantage of this.
  21. Yeah. My question wasn’t as much about why we couldn’t block inside successfully as much as how it affects pass protection. Is it that the RB after the fake handoff is out of position to help pick up rushers? * My question may just be actually dumb and not even a real “thing” to address.
