  2. 1. Really weird since their products are actually super comfortable, but I've just never liked the Skechers brand - at all. I cringe a bit when I see people wearing them. 2. Sears/JC Penney. Brick and mortal retail is dead, just get in the grave and give Macy's the full market share so they can keep doing the Thanksgiving Day Parade. 3. Prolonged eye contact. A staredown is cool and all, but like, a weird sequence of eye contact along with some other random body gestures isn't a power pose anymore. Just weird. 4. @BrutalBoost, 100%. The more I spoke to him and got to know his insane life story, the more down to earth and humble I think he is. 5. I'm guessing you mean a smartphone case, I haven't seen many designs. I did have a Pittsburgh Steelers case for my iPod Touch, I thought it was amazing. 6. There are so many here, almost everyone who purely falls under the genre of pop.
  3. Well, let's look at the numbers and see if you did blow your opportunity! Through 53 games - 14 points Through 65 games - 25 points 11 points in 12 games, promotion deserved!
  4. What is a first line?
  5. someone said gulag?
  6. yes, plus cascading lack of trust and overprotection with anything related to the internet
  7. Just want to say that this is the best graphic I've ever seen - so good that we possibly can't allow you to claim it for 6 tpe since it'd mean we'd have to deny everyone else for being bad. Sorry bud!
  8. Head on over, I'll treat you
  9. There was, but I'm also really not looking to turn 5 bucks into a tax write-off lol. If I was donating a significantly large amount, then maybe. 5 bucks is like 2 and a half fewer iced teas. I'll live.
  10. I got the "if you want to donate, donate through the actual organization so you can turn it into a tax write off - be smart with your money"
  11. Hell I'm 21 and I got yelled at by my parents for donating in the last charity drive we had here, and I had to brush it off as a hockey blog/site running donations for a good cause. I don't know how many parents actually understand that internet communities can be wholesome and safe, but at least for me, it's not that simple.

  13. Reach out to me after the regular season, I can give you the information
  14. I'm starting to strongly believe in results after 700+ TPA being a byproduct of team composition, so yeah. I'd probably be more interested in running around in FA to maximize stats then if I was HoF-hunting.
  15. I'm fairly certain that the calculations here are on the high side, even for max earners, mainly because of the old recruiting format. Edit: I've just realized my earning rate per season with Letang is 158.25, so initial calculations are probably fine. Ignore the sentence above. I think uncapped TPE has also cut down since S71, which is why I don't think you're seeing many folks in future classes (S73+) go ridiculously beyond the others in their class unless the class was weak. But I think that 1k TPA would be for someone truly standing out, I think like 1% of the userbase. 1.1k might be a tad high for TPA, but overall the calculations here do show that you could have a significantly higher TPA player by staying in the VHLE for a season than to go for 9 in the VHL. However, I also agree with the point of "what in the world are you spending TPE on" beyond a 950 TPA build. SK/PH/SC/DF is all gonna be a 99, and fewer and fewer folks are going past 80 CK because of the PIMs. Centers make sense for this comparison because of the necessary FO/ST investment, but I think it's also important to note that non-centers/goalies would likely be able to have 4 99's with a 950 TPA build, and could probably still be a top player in the league by going 9 years in the VHL. Higher attributes has been proven to not guarantee a dominant player (yes, yes, we all know who I'm talking about), but 950 TPA could allow for folks to comfortably be a top player while fighting depreciation. For reference, Letang has been a 850 TPA build for his entire peak and has had 3 99's and a 95, as well as 3 80's and a 60. TPA-wise, he's pretty consistently been a top player at his position, but he's not "great" by any means. Frankly, if 950 TPA is the peak for a 9 year all-VHL career, I might prefer to go straight to the VHL if I can land on a team that will give me big minutes my rookie year to negate the initial 100-150 TPA difference.
