  1. Fun season for the Squid. 🦑 You guys have a hell of a team - probably the most balanced left. Congrats and good luck!
  2. Heh. Photo caption on the Guardian live blog right now says "Supporters of outgoing Turkish president Erdoğan..." So let it be written, so let it be done.
  3. I'm so sorry, Nicole. Take care of yourself and your family.
  4. I don't like Pavs any more.
  5. Looking forward to it, @Longboard Horn. I just hope it's a good series. I'm a big Pavs fan and hope he's back soon, even though he had our number this season. For those wondering, game 3 in Seattle will almost certainly be Sunday as there's a concert at CPA Saturday. There's also a scheduled event next Tuesday but that one may be movable so I'd still think game 4 will be a week from tonight.
  6. It's all gravy. Looking forward to it. I like a lot of the Stars boys, just not this next week.
  7. Holy Squid shit! Cannot believe this. Thought we might get one in the series. We don't match up well at all with the Stars, who are as good as anyone in the West - but I'm going to game 3 in the second round! Unbelievable. Go Squid! 🦑
  8. The play was literally right in front of me, and even in real time this was what appeared to happen. I neither dislike the Avs nor Makar (except this week), but the puck went straight up, cleared the high netting, and was being caught by a fan when Makar hit McCann (who had clearly slowed). Makar was behind the play so how he could've missed where the puck went is beyond me. Georgiev wasn't even scrambling to find it.
  9. My seats are to the left of where you were, and higher (there's not a bad seat in the place; I've been about as far up in the corner as you can get and the seats were still great). That was by far the best crowd I've seen in the Squids' very short history. Saturday was a fun crowd but you got the impression half of 'em had never been to a hockey game and just wanted to see history. Tonight's crowd knew hockey.
  10. Gawd, I hate the off-season.
  11. No prescription drugs, eh? Well, carry on, then.
  12. Fucking Wagner's probably already recruited him.
  13. That was chock full o' squidly goodness.
  14. Watching hockey, good sir. And nobody gonna replace Biff 😁
  15. The Finns and Estonians are just wrecking this douche in the comments.
  16. Lol! It's the equivalent of "eat a bag of dicks" - "suck a canefield of dicks" in this case. Google Translate does not always do well with slang.
  17. Bolsonaro is a gigantic piece of shit and I'm glad he lost (I preferred Ciro Gomes) but Lula vai chupar um canavial de rola. Fuck that tankie shit.
  18. Go Squid! 🦑 Can't wait to experience the Cup playoffs in person for the first time next Saturday/Monday - may well be the last games of the season but what the hell. The place and city will be a zoo!
  19. Fuck around with Bird Shit Island; find out.
  20. 100 point season for the Squid. Unbelievable. Likely out in round 1 but just enjoying the ride (can't wait for the atmosphere at games 3 and 4 vs whomever). 🦑
  21. I live downtown, work downtown, walk between the two. It's a 15-25 minute walk to every sporting event (except for the UW, which is 6 minutes by train) and most concerts in town. There are still tons of great restaurants and bars; new ones are still opening all the time. Yeah, there are blocks here, blocks there you avoid, but not whole neighborhoods. It's good to see things slowly getting better as more people come back to the office (Amazon coming back 3 days/week in May will help a lot there). The winter weather sucks (and I'm from here). Summers? Best. Place. On. Earth.
  22. This is a stretch. The closest B1G school to the West Coast - Nebraska - is a third again farther from both LA and Seattle than they are from each other. (LA and Seattle are basically equidistant to most of the B1G schools; Seattle is actually closer to several). Most of the B1G West is 150%+ the distance between LA and Seattle; the B1G East is 2 to 2.5 times farther away. I know we were told there would be no math, but....
  23. So does the guy in the middle... hey, wait a minu-
  24. That looks interesting, with the oil and vinegar. I have a bottle of condimento de malagueta from Minas Gerais that's just malagueta peppers (mashed), vinegar and salt. It's got a little bit of a kick but is good for perking up feijoada a bit.
