Damn work filter.

Dunno if it works for you. I have better luck at work using Chrome. IE blocks everything. Though since you are in tech, you are going to tell me "duh, of course I tried that"

Read it later.
I just remembered that my buddy's older brother had a Falcon. He did a bunch of bodywork on it, primed it and had a date with the paint shop until he hit a pole.

I mean we called one of the greatest goalies in NHL history, fatso when our own goalie situation hasn't always been stellar. I can't really blame opposing fans for that. Though yes, somehow the Flyers went went having a head case in Bryz, at least a decent goalie in Mason, and somehow made things much much worse.

Don't forget that they traded Bobrovsky.

All I use is Chrome. We get the same results using any browser. It blocks it on the server side. We have pretty advanced filtering in place unfortunately.

That blows.

I need to get my old car ready for some new paint. It deserves it.

They also kept getting rid of Brian Boucher for some unknown reason. At some point the organization said "you know what, Jeff Hackett is clearly the answer"

how could anybody watch these playoffs and then actually say to themselves "I think Team A will beat Team B in a 7 game series because they had a CF% of 56 in the regular season?

are you (frank)ing kidding me?

Carolina just used this to beat the defending Champs. Going off playoff numbers, not regular season now.

Edit: It's not fool proof, but it's just something to think about.

Work filters are so random too. People have been fired for viewing porn on the job (so apparently that's not blocked), but I try to read Kotaku it shuts me down instantly.

Damn.

I tip my mailman, he's great. The garbage men leave a Christmas postcard telling us not to put tips in the garbage. Like I'm gonna tip them when they don't even take my garbage sometimes.

We put out more than the allowed number of bulk items one week expecting them to take 4 pieces (the limit) and when they came the next week they would take the remaining few. They took nothing. Not even the regular trash.

One time I put a bag full of spackle dust in the can and when he slid the garbage into the truck the bag exploded in a giant cloud and he threw my garbgage can in anger. I laughed my ass off and I don't blame him for throwing the can.

I (frank)ing hate garbage men. Flat-out refuse to tip them ever and I used to tend bar and am a habitual over-tipper

Same, I've worked for tips myself and I know how people count on them.

Our mailman goes above and beyond to give us packages and the mail. When he saw my wife was pregnant he used to bring even just the letters to the door when the weather was poopty or it was snowy/icy out.

They definitely can be. Ours are pretty dialed in now. The kids are the best at exploiting them.

I don't hate my garbage man, but I didn't know that was even a thing until a couple years ago. Awhile back I read an article on who you were supposed to tip and I was astonished. I don't remember my folks giving any of those people tips growing up.

My garbage man is awesome, looks like a Blood, but the nicest guy I ever met. I always tip him

I don't think that is unreasonable. The caveat there is that they still have a great team. Ours, not so much, YET. Future is still very bright in Tampa. It is becoming quite bright for NJ and NY as well.
- JRR1285



Awesome team and same in Toronto as someone else mentioned. I'm don't think either of them would trade places with us; but we can look forward to better days ahead... hopefully!

It’s funny...the best tippers are usually the older people with fixed incomes and the millennial smug jerkoffs give nothing. And they’re usually well off. It’s just how the times are now I guess. I’ll help out those older people with anything, I take out the garbage for this one old lady and she’ll give me $50 at Christmas usually.

And peppered the Caps with shot attempts throughout the series.

The entire team is set up to provide a ton of shot attempts from everywhere and control the puck through the neutral zone.

The guy who runs the analytics department is likely in line to be the next GM, and is their VP of Strategy, working directly with the coach to assess players and develop how the team plays.

When Dundon took over he stressed that everything had to be proven and justified on paper.

There isn't a single decision that gets made in the entire organization without being able to prove ON PAPER that it's going to work, and that extends from marketing to the front office to the coaches.
