Good buy. I still want to get back into that game. I like that they're still adding tons of free content 2 years later

A better strategy would be to allow less goals so you never even get to that situation

Both of those are very good points. You have a knack for this

As an elite hockey mind, here's what VGK/Washington needs to do to win Lord Stanley's cup:

-get pucks deep
- win those battles
- give 110%
- want it more than the other team
- stick to the fundies/ don't get too cute
- play 60 minutes of hockey out there

As the second longest tenured caps fan, I too endorse them

for sure. it's a major inconvienence, which is why I'm looking into buying a house in the next year or two, but my friend who's a pharmacist, and this guy is literally making so much money. Holy F.

mfw I'm still doing laundry and the caps are up 3-- https://imgur.com/EIUiJC6

My laundry is going to be done right before the second period starts. I hope I can transfer it in to the dryer to get back in time for the puck drop

real bad start for the lightning. That's what you get for playing that dumb Imagine Dragons song as your intro hype video

could this lead to Moneyba-dou2ble hockeysticks?

hopefully the old money dickhead owners will all die off within the next 5-10 years

Sounds like you might be freaking out then. Sit back and have a cold Coors light

Just follow up with them

Folks I saw Solo tonight. Because it is a Star War, the slightest bit of opinion even is a spoiler so I will be tagging my very brief thoughts below.

I liked it!

It's star wars night for the twins and lance Lynn did good. The Lord (or should I say the force) works in mysterious ways

go cap go

Hey people like Doc Emrick on NBC, right? I think he calls a very enjoyable game.

he's regarded as the best in the biz by a lot of folks. Can be a real goofball (though not in a bad way). I like him

Some wild fans lately have been complaining about how much better vegas' expansion draft was compared to Minnesota's (and Columbus'). These are the same guys who 1 year ago were saying that wild fleeced vgk by giving them Tuch and Haula to protect other players

I've had it here and in ireland and I didn't notice any differences

I thought that dude played for tbj

I used to do tinder and I've never seen that in any profile. I forgot what it was and had to look it up just now

CaptainHammer posted...

That guy is risking a lot and doing a lot of work for not that much extra money

I was thinking about that too...The risk seems relatively low doing it once or twice, but if he does it on-going, there's a good chance he'll eventually get caught.

Assuming he steals the beer, if he does that 5 times a game, that's $100. That adds up for what I assume is a low paying job, but someone is going to notice the missing stuff or see him do it eventually.

One time I was at a game with my mom and brother. We were in standing room only for whatever reason. And a guy with his kids was leaving and gave us his tickets so we could get past the checker and sit 3 rows from the action. It was tight, except that the people sitting in that area were whispering about how we were just stealing their seats as soon as they got up. Fuckin rich people.

dicks...mind your own darn business

It was my most exciting stadium concessions experience since I met the famous Hot Dog Mark in 2016

yeah that would be a bit of a different story

I'd decline because bathroom beer is gross to me

it was right past the bathroom door, quite a ways from any toilets, and the dude handed us unopened cans, so...

STLCards1991 posted...

This kicks ass. Were the beers cold I hope?

yeah they were cold. And another unexpected benefit is that they were unopened. Not sure if it's like this at sports events in other places, but if you buy a beer at a stadium in MN, the vendors are required to open the can. Like once I bought 2 and asked that they don't open the second can and they said no sorry, but we have to. It's annoying to walk around a stadium and go up stairs with an opened can.

We just figured why not. Also didn't hurt that we were a couple beers deep at that point.

not long after that, we sort of snuck in to the lower level right behind home plate to meet up with some friends who had nice seats. It was like the 7th inning and the twins were losing, so the stadium was emptying out. After about 15 minutes, one of the ushers came to us and said we can't be sitting there if those weren't our assigned seats, so we left. Not sure how it is at other ballparks, but at target field they sort of check your tickets as you enter the lower level dugout area, but it's easy enough to just walk behind a group of people.

anyway, we get back up to the concourse and this guy who was behind us comes up and says hey we were just leaving, you can sit in our seats if you want, and gives us 4 tickets. According to the tickets, the guy is a season ticket holder with row 10 seats right behind home plate. Then we walked over to the same usher who asked us to leave and showed him the tickets. He said (not a direct quote): Ok you rascals, you can go down, but you have to stay in these assigned seats

Also apparently for row 10 home plate seats full season ticket page, seats are $66 each. pretty great price for an individual game, but for 4 all season that adds up.

Something pretty strange happened at the ballpark last night. My friend and I were at the ATM because the lines for concessions were really long, and the hawkers who took cash had 0 lines. This guy wearing the same vest/hat/uniform that all the target field vendors wear comes up to us and asks us what we need, saying that he'll get it for us for cheaper. We said 4 beers, and he said he'll give us 4 beers for $20 (more than half off), and asks what kind.
Then he says ok I'll go get it, in the meantime, walk around for a couple minutes. When you see me come back, follow me into the bathroom. So we did exactly that, and got our cheap beer in the bathroom standing next to a line of dudes waiting to piss, like it was some kind of drug deal. I didn't see where the vendor guy went, but he clearly went to a stockroom, swiped the beer, and pocketed the money

Half of the people here are #brewcrew. I really wish Wisco leaders would quit being the literal scum of the earth and allow their own people to get a job in their own state. Let us Minnesotans be miserable by ourselves

I'm meeting friend for the twins/pooers game, and nobody can get here until 6 and I was done working at 5, so I'm sitting at a bar alone like a cool person

what would it be?

I'm American and I'd move to England (Ireland or Scotland would be cool too)

This was a while ago, but one time my boss sent an email to everyone to congratulate a team completing some task, and said it was like "Dozier and Rosario hitting walkoff homeruns in the first against the Yankees"

First of all, that's just a dumb thing to say and they obviously don't know what a walk off home run is.

well maybe he was a bruins fan too

CaptainHammer posted...

However, I might keep a homer depending on the context. Obviously milestone balls you keep and trade for goods and services, but also if it's just like one of the GOATs hit it I would have trouble giving it u

It's a nice notion that if I ever caught a historical ball (I never will), I'd give it to the player or a museum or hall of fame or whatever, but I actually could use the money, so...........................................

Whatever. Like a lot of car people, I have a couple of interesting cars, plus a utilitarian everyday grocery-getter. Why would people judge you by what you drive, unless it's an intentionally ludicrous clown car? Entirely covered in stickers or carpet, or painted with a broom?

nice humblebrag

Also when an adult man in the crowd gets a foul ball or a homer and there's a little kid next to him (who isn't his kid) and the guy just keeps the ball. give it to the kid dude! Surely the experience of catching a ball at a baseball game is better than just having the ball in a drawer somewhere

I always play mine at my Varidesk. Much better for my posture and productivity

agreed...I would feel weird doing so but if that guy wants to, good for him

I won't be too quick to jump to conclusions but that sounds disappointing. I guess we'll get there when we get there.

Today I went out for lunch while the cards@twins game was going on, and I saw a ton of people walking around in cardinals gear, including a grown man who brought a baseball glove. Grow up peter pan!

(I'm just kidding. it's perfectly fine for anyone of any age to bring a glove to a game)

I haven't heard a peep... what's the scoop

If the guys from the twins subreddit are to be believed, lance Lynn, Fernando Rodney, and Logan Morrison are not only the three worst signings of all time, but also the 3 worst players of all time

Oh my god you guys are such dorks

2 more of my friends finally got Divinity: Original Sin 2 and we've been doing a 4 person playthrough. This game is so good. It has the best turn based style combat I've ever seen, and the exploration, interacting with NPCs, and different combat abilities has as much variety as Skyrim.

Not to mention the Game Master mode, which I haven't touched yet. It's where you can make your own campaign and you can play campaigns/mods created by other players.

apparently it's coming out on ps4/xbox for you console dweebs too

The twins is the Cardinals' dad

What levels are your guys? And do you have any cool perfect IV/shinys?

I'm lvl 34. Shiny altaria and wailmer. I have like 6 perfect IVs but the only one with powering up is donphan

Last fall one of the refs told us that last year and the years before, a former Wisconsin Badgers qb played flag football at the park for years and dominated (obviously (.
One of my friends from wisco tells me that playing flag football at a Minneapolis park league is the most Madison thing ever

didn't know there was a potd topic for this until just now. I really want to catch a shiny charmander because shiny charizard might be the coolest shiny of all time

Different people like different things of course, but I've never liked the Thrashers logo. What is it even supposed to be? a bird tornado holding a hockey stick? what even is a Thrasher?

That being said, the Winnipeg Jets logo might be the coolest in all of sports, in my humble opinion (excluding the Vikings one because of bias)

this is the first time probably ever that I'd be a-ok with any of the 4 remaining teams winning the cup

I was a little reluctant to do kickball when we started, but it's fun, super casual, easy to play, and you don't need any gear or previous experience.
