He’s back on the bench

Ah fuk

What a shift by Boldy and Kaprizov those two are just unreal

Omg Fleury, what a massive blunder.

Ooooooffff

So that’s 12 – 18 games; the most he’s missed in a season was 11 in the covid 2021 season. Let’s call it 15 games missed, that leaves 49 more games this season for him to score 27 goals and still break it this season – still very possible

Eriksson Ek came back from that injury in like 4 days. He only lasted 4 seconds when he came back, but just sayin

The 4 Nations Cup USA vs Canada games will be likely be the largest TV audience ever to watch hockey games…Canada will likely completely shut down…
I absolutely can’t wait…just sucks that Russia won’t be a part of it

No Iceland or Trinidad and Tobago is a huge bummer too

1) Where is all the mercury coming from in those lakes?

Mercury in freshwater lakes can come from a local source but also commonly comes from acid rain; you could find high mercury concentrations in the most pristine and remote lake in the middle of the NW Ontario wilderness. So rain puts mercury in the lakes -> algae absorbs the mercury -> zooplankton eats the algae -> and it continues up the food chain from there

Hypothetically if zebra mussels are truly causing higher mercury concentrations in fish, it’s not that they are causing higher mercury levels in the lakes. They would just be acting as a catalyst to get the mercury from the water into the fish at a faster rate.

You get that rink up this year? Think I filling next week.

Doing the mini rink in the front yard again. Boards and lights are up, almost filled last night but windy af so waiting until tomorrow night. Should be skating on it by Thanksgiving for sure

2016 World Cup Team North America was a riot to watch, I mean just look at this roster. Here’s what a 2025 Team North American could look like. Probably not as good at Forward (2016 the biggest names were all 18 and 19), way better on defense, and goalies are WOOF.

Yeah same here no issues with Prime or ESPN+, but for some reason Gim just absolutely cannot stream live sports

Prime has some exclusive games and their own production crew in Canada this season – similar to Thursday Night Football. There was also a recent agreement with Diamond Sports (Bally/FanDuel) that in market games will eventually be available on Amazon Prime… for an additional cost

I agree with Joe, ESPN+ is awesome for watching other hockey games.

x3 – ESPN+ is great, especially after the redesigned app for this season. ESPN+ is how I watch every Wild game aside from the couple TNT and NHL Network games. If anyone can kick rocks it’s NHL Network since they don’t even have a streaming option, only place you can watch is cable.

Side note, I really like the Bucci and Mleczko and Kaplan crew who did the game last night

Barnes LRX – Very minimal meat loss since the mono bullet stays together even at close range, where those cup and core bullets can grenade

Pretty sure the league reinstated Q with Bowman this summer.

Not sure if the Bruins go there though. They got absolutely roasted and tucked tail after they signed Mitchell Miller a couple years ago.

What the heck is wrong with Kucherov’s agent?

Sad part is he was Kirill’s original agent

Man some of you either get great Christmas gifts or are flashlight aficionados. Can’t imagine dropping a bone on a flashlight when my phone works 90 percent of the time.
The one posted on Amazon seems like a 20$ gamble I would take.

I can’t believe you haven’t heard about the new latest and greatest trend. Buying the most expensive flashlight to show how cool and important you are to a forum group.

No chance the good people of IDO will let OP buy an underpowered personal lighting device. Max it out or you’ll take a big hit in resale value. Plus I’ve never heard someone wish they had less lumens

That 99000 lumen model still available??

It’s unlikely but if Ovi stays hot he has a chance to break Gretzky’s record in fewer games played. Needs 26 goals in the next 43 games – 0.6 goals per game – dead nuts on with his career average

And now he’s “week to week” whatever that means. Is this the first time Russian Machine has been in for repairs?

TheFamousGrouse wrote:

Umm, no one mentions it because it’s a little hard for those damn kids to top Ovi’s total contract record when it’s literally not possible under the league rules. It’s pretty easy to keep a record when the other guys aren’t allowed to break it.

They can sign for 20% of the cap. Highest ever was Ovi at 16.75%, I think McDavid’s deal was 15.xx%, Matthews 15.1%, and Leon around 15%. These lazy bum kids are taking a smaller piece of the pie than Ovi did 15 years ago even though he was only in it for the love of the game

…and with a wooden stick and 1980s level sports training and medicine. Wow.

And against 1980s level goalies when there were 20% more goals scored per game

Gretzky is and always will be the undisputed greatest hockey player ever, but the wooden stick thing is just a dumb argument that drives me nuts. Every single player was using those sticks yet somehow miraculously there were 20% more goals scored per game

Whatever it was for it was a lot of money – more than any one of these dam lazy kids are making these days

These same kids who train all summer, hire personal chefs and trainers, and eat chickpea pasta. While Ovi is crushing subway and cheetos before games, drinking coca-cola on the bench, and spending his summers partying with putin.

Been said by countless former players how “boring” the young players are because they eat healthy and go to bed early on the road. When 20 years ago they were crushing beers on the plane and out partying every night.

Ahh the good ol’ days and how the dam kids these days just make too much money and don’t really love the game

No one mention how Ovechkin still has the biggest total $$$ contract in NHL history, highest AAV% contract in NHL History, and highest career earnings in NHL history.

Players haven’t asked for anything yet, but yeah that’s more or less it – just saying that he’s confident it’s going to happen so therefore I am too. He goes into detail talks about it for like 20 minutes and on the 32T podcast

I think he is near Detroit Lakes, MN.

Yeah I’m in DL (north of west-central MN and south of northwest MN) and looks like winter is finally arriving. Still above average lows all week so not really ice making weather, but I’ll take it!

Friedmann reporting the cap is making a big jump to $95m-$97m range next season – that’s about double what it was supposed go up. Makes the Faber and Boldy deals that much sweeter and probably adds another million or two aav to the (hopeful) Kaprizov extension.

Boards are up, just need to put the tarp on and then fill – shouldn’t be long now.

Question for the IDO ODR Experts. Should I put the tarp out today and take advantage of the natural fill or just wait until Thursday/Friday when the precipitation is done and the wind dies?
