OT: Things that have happened since the last playoff run

[raynman]

In 2009 I didn’t have a degree but I had a job. In 2018 I have an associates and a bachelors and I can’t find a job to save my life. But playoffs so it doesn’t matter

 

[Lempo]

FarmVille was a thing.

In 2009 I was still in college and could drink myself into a coma every night without being hungover the next day.

Now if I drink a 6 pack, it takes 2-3 days to recover completely.

Livers have this funny way of breaking down.

Playoff games were broadcasted on “Versus” not NBCSN.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

Playoff games were broadcasted on “Versus” not NBCSN.

That was so stupid.

Not as stupid as broadcasting on the Outdoor Life Network, though.

 

[Svechhammer]

The iPad hadn't yet been released.

Instagram was still a year away from being announced

Uber and Lyft were still at least 3 years away

Everyone was still on 3G wireless, as 4G LTE wasn't rolled out until 2010

Netflix was still 4 years away from releasing its first home produced show, and had only been streaming for 2 years

On the other hand "Versus" had a kick-ass theme song for their NHL coverage

All hail Bobrov!

 

[AD Skinner]

Last time the canes made the playoffs, Bobrov had only been dead 30 years. Boy its crazy how different daily life is nowadays, what with him having been dead 40 years and all

Let's not get ahead of ourselves....

Atas will be here quickly to correct you that Антон Анатолійович Бабчук was born in Ukraine and is only Ukrainian-Russian and thus that doesn't count.

As the deity that he is, the great Anton is from nowhere and everywhere....

JJ Abrams had just started to ruin the Star Trek universe, not yet having set his sights on doing the same for Star Wars.

 

[Lempo]

The Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead first episodes aired.

Matt Smith started as the Eleventh Doctor... and has been succeeded by Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth, and Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth.

No one makes me feel my own feelings

 

[SlavinAway]

Svech went from being a sweet 9 year old to a 19 year old, 6'2" and 187 lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal.

Also, the last time we made the playoffs the average age of our current roster was approximately 16 years old...

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

Tiger Woods won zero majors.

Hmmm

Take Williams out of that and it would drop significantly

I used to check out the players GFs at the draft, now I check out their moms.

I finally moved into my own apartment!
My other brother became a handyman!

I got a job!

I had to quit that job...
I got another job!
I had to quit that job!

I got fired from that job!
I joined a training program!
I graduated from the training program.

I applied for disability.
I was denied.
I appealed.
I was denied.

I won my appeal!
I had to leave my job due to the strange wording the judge struck down when he overturned the previous denials.
I found out I got ADHD, insomnia, anxiety, depression, GERD, and a whole litany of medical issues that require me to take lots of medicine and leave me with endless dry mouth every day.

I went to college.

I started donating blood to help people out.
I started donating plasma to make ends meet.
I had to quit donating anything because donating plasma f***ed up my arms.

As far as what it's like in Indianapolis, my home city.

Oh, Indiana won the Clark Cup!
Hey, Indiana won another Clark Cup!
Indiana has to suspend operations to make way for an ECHL team.

The Indy Fuel have arrived and yet to win any playoff games.

We got a soccer team!

The Indy Eleven joined the NASL!
The Indy Eleven almost won the Soccer Bowl!
The Indy Eleven followed North Carolina FC in ditching the Tita… erm, NASL for the USL!
We finally invented a centuries-old rivalry with Louisville FC!
