I'm not being a jerk. I looked at moving back to NC and it's not the old days of selling at a Boston price and buying a mansion for NC prices, or buying reasonable and pocketing the cash.
Houses in the sub $200K class in and around Raleigh just aren't available if I don't want a money pit or...
As a young Gen Xer I disagree; good luck buying any home as a 22 year old in MA where the AVERAGE home price in Boston has hit $900,00. My town 20 miles away? Average home is over $700,000. If you can even find a $300,000 home it'll need $200,000 of repairs, and if you can find one under...
Millennials can't afford housing because businesses are buying housing to sit on them and rent them out for max profits.
Gambling is becoming juggernaut issue, but that's not why most people can't afford large purchases.
Dallas I like except for Benn. Hope they take it.
Rags - Hell no
Panthers - No way Forever .500 Coach Mo gets to win a cup somewhere else after dragging us through the muck for, I think it was 83 years.
Edmonton - I always says you can't win without defense and goaltending so any win by...
100% the same. I always knew he had the skill, but didn't think the fit was right. After last season I said "ok, maybe this can work" but he still does enough bone-headed stuff that I say trade him while his value is high.
Brian Burke was at the PWHL Finals last night. Had a great time. The PWHL has done a lot of things wrong strategy and marketing wise, but the on-ice product is very solid.
The most frustrating thing about Necas is that he skates circles around the defense, gets past them, then either drop passes to the other team, or goes behind the net and puts it along the boards where it gets picked up and out of the zone. He never McDavid's it - skates through the other team...
Lost in the Pesce/Skjei love-fest is the fact that Orlov is is making almost $8M and you can't roll that out as your 3rd pairing guy again. Pay Chatfield like a top 4 guy and you're 2nd pair is set sans Pesce/Skjei, then add in Morrow and someone who can stay back and cover the kid while he gets...
As someone who has defended Andersen based upon his actual numbers in the regular and post-seasons, a big chunk of that was on Freddie. He needs to be able to control some of those shots that he dropped leading to a few GA this year.
Next year needs to be Kochetkov backed up by someone...
People keep putting Shesterkin in the upper echelons of goaltenders, but he hasn't been at that level at all this year. Has he gone on great streaks? Sure, but what solid goalie doesn't? Shesterkin is a top goaltender in this league right now, but he's not 2023 Bobrovsky in rounds 2-3, and he's...
Somewhere I saw that RBA said Pesce wouldn't play this series. I'll have to try to find it but IIRC it was a reliable source (Walt or someone).
Boy could we use him for these last 2 games.
