Jonas Hiller had one for a bit, but IMHO it only looks good in black and most teams shouldn’t be using black helmets. Flyers are a maybe, but it looks more at home for the Bruins, Pens, Kings, Ducks, and maybe the Senators or Canes. It might look okay in other dark colors like navy, dark green or maroon though too.

As a former college lacrosse goalie, I’d say lacrosse is not popular enough yet for any of the positions to be that hard. Sure there are people that are very, very good, but the drop off between pro/D1/D2/D3/high school is not as great as more established sports like hockey, baseball, or basketball.

Given the injury to the UCF QB, I’d say that’s an unfair comparison. Granted that I don’t watch enough college football to know how big the dropoff is between the starter and the guy who played today, but it should be taken into consideration before writing off this team as less deserving than ND or Oklahoma.

Is this the new equity partnership from the Car Talk legal team?

Also uses the player he traded away in Reaves as an example of a way they could have neutralized his effect on the game/series...

They also benched the most capable goalie on their roster in last years playoffs (essentially giving away assets for a few games of playing time) in Mrazek, then proceeded not to resign him.

IIRC, Jeff Skinner has a figure skating background that probably had a lot do with his ability to skate at the next level and win RotY.

While I think the whole idea of suppressing wages for teams owned by billionaires (and whoever the marlins are owned by) is ridiculous, I can see them trying to shed salary to try to get Betts signed long term to a monster deal and avoiding the compounding penalties for being over the tax following when handful of…

If you’ve ever interacted with public ed administrators, you’d know there are a few gems, but there is definitely a general ineptitude with a hint of power thirst. For the amount of work involved, $150k should not be market rate. There absolutely is a class of people that take well paying jobs because they are nearly…

Thanks, as the son and soon to be husband of teachers, I definitely have a biased opinion, but I like to think my disdain for overpaid executives should be fairly universal and extend into the private sector as well.

Except CEOs and education administrators are constantly showing examples that paying them a fuckton does not make them good at their job. Also their teachers max out their pay around $80k no matter the education or experience level. Anyone who thinks that administration is more important than the teachers can kindly…

Hopefully women’s pro hockey starts actually employing women as coaches too. It’s crazy to me that a large portion (probably a majority) of women’s college hockey coaches are men who go the position by mentioning how they played (low level) pro or D1 hockey somewhere, back in a time when anything outside of winning a…

I think you’re shouting for the wrong reasons. It can be both. In general yes, it can limit the pool but there will always be a few kids that put themselves through it while unfairly living below the poverty line. Like it is possible to get the internship because you really believe in working with a certain person or…

I’m not sure this applies to women police officers. I can’t recall the exact cases, but I’d wager to guess the POC and women in uniform get indicted at a higher rate proportionally than their white male counterparts. This may be a hard statistic to gather the data for, since we don’t know how much gets buried, similar…

Jameis Winston will be performing the crabectomy surgery.

I honestly don’t even know how you would measure such a thing. Seems like any major international sports federation is fucked. Fifa, F1, boxing, MMA, tennis, cycling, track & field, gymnastics, etc.

I’m okay losing the jack for the most part, but I don’t get the need for high end phone options to continually get thinner and sleeker as the only option. Imagine how much more powerful your phone could be with current hardware inside a case the size of an older form factor. You could probably power laptop peripherals…

Unpaid internships for school credit, especially in the summer, are almost a bigger scam since you usually have to pay a not insignificant amount of money to get the internship credit. At the very least, companies with an internship should pay enough to cover some part of the bullshit tuition cost to get credit for…

IIRC, 538 was giving Trump a ~33% chance of winning which is essentially giving Hilary 2-1 odds, while everyone else was giving much higher than that.

Many races were close in the House IIRC so while I wouldn’t have thought it to be about 50/50, the model could have weighted voter suppression tactics heavier. I don’t blame them for being a bit more conservative after the shit they took for America’s collective misunderstanding of statistics in 2016.
