This game is all the proof you need that good things happen when new people step up and make GDTs.
Happy to do more if it leads to more wins hahaha

For me the key difference is the context in which their genetic gifts are on show. The hockey players are there showcasing their genetic gift of athleticism. Lauren is there to be a professional rinkside reporter, not to put her genetic good looks on show. Rather than people commenting on her ability to ask good questions and get exclusives with the team, it's always a comment on how good she looks. That's pretty demeaning because she's spent years of her life gaining experience doing what she does, but all she's good for is eye candy or at least all she is acknowledged for is that.
Of course, she wants to look and feel as good as she can - what person wouldn't? But she isn't doing this job to be ogled, she's doing it to be a professional at what talent she has honed and trained for years. The implication of "all she's good for" comes from the fact that there have been absolutely zero comments on how good (or otherwise) she is at her job, and dozens, possibly more, comments on how she is so "hot".This is a false dilemma. It would be disingenuous or flat out naive to claim that her physical aesthetic plays no role in her job. She also goes to lengths to compliment such (hair, makeup, clothes etc). Her good looks are very much a part of the job description.
It's not demeaning to find a quality in her that she herself cultivates as attractive, nor to comment on it. No one ever claimed it's "all she's good for" and the implication of that is what is demeaning.
As much as I would like to see Nuke play with Mack and as much as he deserves it the way he and Landy have been playing I prefer to keep him with Kadri. Landy hasn't been playing that well and Mack can compensate for that...Kadri can't. The Nuke-Kadri-Bura line has been very good since put together.Still love to see Nischushkin given a shot on the top line. He was absolutely flying last night again, and I thought he looked better than Landeskog. I'm not saying he's better than Landeskog, but it might be time to shuffle that top line a bit. I also feel like Kamenev has been better than Jost in the last few games, and he fills the role Jost should be filling. Trade Jost for a 3C at the deadline.
Nischushkin - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Landeskog - Kadri - Burakovsky
Calvert - Pageau** - Donskoi
Nieto/Wilson - Bellemare - Kamenev

If looks weren't important we'd still have Julie Browman. It's television and sex sells. I'm sure she's not naive enough to realize that shes somewhat fortunate for her genetics. But shes doing what we all do. Play to our strengths in life.Of course, she wants to look and feel as good as she can - what person wouldn't? But she isn't doing this job to be ogled, she's doing it to be a professional at what talent she has honed and trained for years. The implication of "all she's good for" comes from the fact that there have been absolutely zero comments on how good (or otherwise) she is at her job, and dozens, possibly more, comments on how she is so "hot".

Which one is this??Especially a quote that got cut by dater to make it seem likes it’s worse than it is... it’s pretty embarrassing.
Only brings me back on his 2009 return where he looked like a shell of his former self. Loved the guy as well back in the day. So pissed he was traded away along with Drury for what I would say was "nothing"
Drury and Yelle for: Morris, Dean McAmmond and Jeff Shantz. WORST TRADE EVER.
- The Sharks are ****ing rotten
- Lauren has too much eyelashes and teeth going on
- Dater is a hack
- Jay McClement and Ben Guite are the best bottom six players the Avalanche have ever had
The quote that everyone jumped on Gru for was ended with Gru saying, “for a team to be successful we all have to be on the same page as a team and a group and it starts in goal.” Dater being the shitty reporter he is cut that part off because it gets less clicks.Which one is this??
Sounds like a quote that I probably jumped on him being super selfish, and would like to apologize to Gru... he's our starting goalie, and this is his first season as our #1... it's going to have some ups and downs.
What irks me a bit is I remember Bednar talking about how he wants to give Gru a few games in a row to try and get some rhythm between the pipes and settle it. This was about 2 weeks ago, then the very next game after that quote he started Frankie... it was super bizarre.
Anyways... these guys are pro's, and they'll figure it out. Let's make sure we play up to the STL Blues on Saturday, it's not going to go as smoothly as it did in that 7-3 game. Although, it would be nice for the PP to get going.
Steve Konowalchuk is the best bottom-sixer the Avs have ever had. End of story.
And the worst trade the Avs ever made was Fleury for Regehr. It cost them a franchise defender who would've stabilized the team for at least one more Cup run, maybe two.
Kono was great
Calling Regehr a franchise defender is a stretch though. He'd have been a solid guy to have around after Bourque/Blake/Foote left for sure, for a few years, but he sputtered out like most do
I'd argue Drury/Yelle was the worst trade we ever made, there was just so much misplaced optimism there and no real reason to upset the roster in that fashion
What game is this? 3 truths and 1 lie?- The Sharks are ****ing rotten

The quantity of comments on how good she is at her job is literally proof of nothing. You are also making an assumption that she's not flattered by or interested in the attention her beauty receives. Some women actually take it as a compliment or otherwise feel good that people find them attractive. This is not a "shallow" position per se and doesn't take anything away from the job she does.
Again, we do this all the time with men and athleticism. And while it's not exactly the same, the double standard applied to it is strange to me.
