pineapple on pizza is better with a sweet bbq base and some grilled chicken or bacon. Tomato sauce and pineapple just don't mix.

Take a break and listen to some Les Squellettes.

Svech is saying screw your money now, I want more of it later.

My bad, I thought it was just assumed there was sweet bbq sauce involved in this. I agree. The ones I've had here have the sauce at least on top, not sure if they went all in as a base too or not.

The next offer sheet candidate? Habs fans seems to be hoping for it/taunting about it.

Maybe we should start passing the collection plate now.

I doubt it. Just willing to bet on himself having a better year next year and getting more money because of it.

If they haven’t learned anything from the Aho debacle, then they deserve a Svechnikov offer sheet. I’m not too worried about them getting him signed. If it draws out to 7/1 or whenever the first day of UFA is next year, then I’ll start sweating.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Probably isn't a bad idea for him to wait until next off season to see how things in the league and the world are progressing. Aside from better play, if things are starting to look up for whatever reason, he and other players in this situation might leave a fair amount of money on the table.

Svechnikov open to discussing contract extension with Hurricanes - Forward could become RFA after next season; 'almost 100 percent' following ankle injury

Andrei Svechnikov said he is willing to discuss a contract extension with the Carolina Hurricanes before the start of next season, but will leave the negotiations to his agent, Mark Gandler.

The 20-year-old forward will be entering the final season of a three-year entry-level contract he signed on July 1, 2018, and would be eligible to become a restricted free agent when it expires. "I'm open," Svechnikov said Friday. "I think my agent is going to do that job and I tell him I don't want to know anything [until] it's going to be done. So he's going to tell me when it's going to be done and I just don't want to worry about that."

Got fooled again by another media member choosing to highlight one sentence. C’mon Cory or the OP, got to give us the entire context

I’m proud that my first jersey with a player’s name and number on it is a Slavin jersey.

MTL is going to have their hands full with Kotkaniemi and Suzuki if they keep playing like they did in the playoffs.

Apparently Slavin isn’t one of ‘the good ones’ anymore.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

Years ago, I hated pineapple, but weirdly enough, liked it on pizza. Now, I love fresh pineapple, but am no longer much of a fan of it on pizza.

I've only ever had one pineapple that I actually liked. It was at the Dole plantation in Hawaii - as fresh as you can get. By the time they make it to a store on the mainland, they're too far gone for me.

I like pineapple on pizza, though we call it ananas.

Looking at an actual list of translations, almost every major language outside of Asia uses some form of ananas... except us. Spanish prefers piña for the fruit, but uses ananás for the plant.

Her Twitter tag line. “Co-authoring a book on toxic hockey culture.” She also tweeted the comment below. Not going to comment on how valid or invalid her opinions are, just that there are some apparently deep rooted beliefs in her tweets.

 

[Wolfpuck]

She seems like a nice person. So personal growth isn’t good enough if it doesn’t happen on *her* timetable?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, English is a silly language for silly people.

Slavin appears (to me at least, I’ve never met the guy) to be a fundamentally good person who is taking steps to imporove himself, which is what good people do. Vilifying him for not doing it the ‘right’ way just seems so counter productive to me.

I thought the name looked familiar. Sounds like her and Sara Civ have some history.

The other co-author posted something very similar a little while back. I got the feeling that the problem was at that time that NHL opted to make their own hashtag We Skate For and their own version of pre-game ceremony instead of "writing an open check" to Black Lives Matter movement specifically and going under that banner.

But I think the main idea here probably is that it's (yet again) a white guy doing the talking on the topic instead of the platform being given to a black person.

I liked AD's fake answer better.

It was genious.

I get that, but If I understand this correctly, this was the Canes interviewing one of their players. Given that backdrop, who is a better choice?

Anyone who identifies as a woman.

Wait a minute, I go check their Tumblrs.

Yep, she's just another blatantly narcissistic idiot opportunist that does far FAAAAAAAR more to drive sympathetic people away from their causes than toward them.

Yup.

Part of this whole deal is white people coming to a better understanding of the problems that black people face, and white people talking to each other about it is a pretty big part of that. Slavin is a perfectly good spokesperson for himself and his family and the challenges that they are now facing as the parents of a black child. Black Lives Matter issues now affect him very directly, and he has every right to speak his own opinion. He certainly didn't claim to be speaking on behalf of black people.

Dunno what the original tweeter is about, but she's wrong in this case imo.
