Right. And it’s a coincidence that widespread unionization and the fall of child labor, etc. happened about the same time in the US. Not to mention that the most prosperous years in our economy were the most unionized years. You’re drinking the corporate koolaid though, so that’s nice.

This is a stupid explanation because the law is already written on the interviewee’s side. It’s people who think like you (i.e. “suck it up”, “this economy” (which economy incidentally has been pretty good for about 4 years, but whatever), etc.) and end up on juries that ruin things. If America wasn’t king of the crab…
Dunno. Seems pretty unfair to the blind.
In what other context is asking for a job interview considered extraordinary?
I heard that women on their periods attract bears. That’s science.
How much of your Sunday morning did you spend thinking about me? This is creepy.
You’re arguing with the inverse of my point. Take a few minutes to review 8th grade logic proofs, then come back and tell me why my point that bad teams stay bad for 15 years has anything to do with your point, which incidentally is disproven by, among others, your own favorite team, which has stayed good for 15…
Yeah, and I said they were terrible up til 15 years ago. 14 of those winning seasons came in the last 14 years. So, presently 66% of their seasons were “successful” if you count 9-7 as a great years. As of 15 years ago, less than 50% were “successful”. That sort of makes my point, no?
You have a hard on for the guy, and that’s your prerogative, but he’s a quality NHL coach.
I think he’s like Babcock in that he’s a sink or swim coach. That’s great with talented teams full of responsible veterans (or guys like Toews that were born 30 years old). All coaches have their limitations, for sure, but to pretend like he has nothing to do with the cup wins and everything to do with the failures is…
He’s made the playoffs 18 out of 20 seasons coaching... how has he always lost with the inferior team?
This is funny because you point out how important the players are and then ask why Q didn’t win cups with subpar teams in Colorado and St. Louis. He’s a better than average coach who was a great fit for a team where he won 2 cups. As much as your simple mind wants it to be only the players when Q wins and only the…
Agreed. I was actually just looking at articles from around the time of the trade and they said that Despres had a run of bad games before the trade and then showed that so did Lovejoy. The Pens said they were okay trading to get reliability in exchange for upside... when Lovejoy hadn’t been anymore reliable. I remain…
This is a scorching hot take, however he was 307-191-95(combined ties and OTL) in STL, and 131-92-23 in COL. So he’s won more than he’s lost in all three stops. He’s made the playoffs in all but two of a 20 season career. It seems you just hate the guy, and you’re certainly allowed to, but he’s been successful…
It’s human nature to try to find causation where it isn’t... don’t feel bad.
I remember reading about Lovejoy for Despres and trying to figure out if some draft picks just didn’t make it into the first paragraph of the writeup. Lovejoy is a borderline healthy scratch for most teams and, despite what Cogliano says, I think most observers knew how good Despres was.
Is it too late to make this the punishment for Spygate?
Once league websites started posting official highlights and ESPN got into the business of failing at predictions and yelling at one another I made a no-ESPN rule and have never regretted it. I do watch live games, but only with no volume. I stay pretty happy that way.
Ah yes, more fans that forget that the NFL is a just a 10-15 year cycle, where the Patriots, not all that long ago, were and always had been terrible. Everyone gets their turn.
