So BU's goalie, Yegorov, decided to make an entire website dissecting his performances.

Here ya go.

I love this guy, btw. Even if he's trying to reinvent the GSAx wheel 😅

Why couldn't I have gotten into, idk, knitting 😂

You could do both.

I'm trying to get into crochet. Mixed results. I make nice little things but rarely have the energy for it.

@adamw on the ASU player:

What I'm learning ... preseason team workouts that use 3rd parties, often run by ex-Navy Seals, have become very common across the NCAA, across all sports. They use them as team bonding exercises. There's dozens of companies that do this.

Then I realized how much I hate soccer, and that I think the men are away and the women don't line up with my schedule.

Best of luck to the Big Red this season. If anyone wants to go watch a soccer game WITH someone I'm here and it'll be a good time, but I can't do that shit alone. World's most boring sport.

So now I have plans to go to the WSoc game on Sunday

Seems like a lot of up-side to both of them, especially if they can pack on 20 lbs in the gym.

Yep, and aligning with my prediction, they'll come in in '28.

Just saw a real adult human in Canes cup champ merch by CTB.

I think I can sue for damages.

Quote from: ugarte on August 24, 2026, 09:27:44 AMarguing on the internet is in the grand tradition of the internet but actually caring about uniform numbers is sicko behavior

I only care when the numbers are objectively bad

Quote from: The Rancor on August 24, 2026, 12:18:16 PM11 and 01 should be allowable goalie numbers, in the case of 1 being retired or used. This includes 31, 41, 51, etc. I will not be taking any questions at this time.

This is perhaps the worst take I have ever seen on eLynah. And I read most of BearLover's posts.

Quote from: stereax on August 21, 2026, 01:58:16 AMThis is GREAT news ngl and I'm now strongly considering skipping Frozen Apple entirely - Maine is a fun team but not a team that I'd be willing to brave Penn Station at 3 AM for... Plus, not only does noon puck drop really suck to get to and back from, there's effectively no ability to hang out pregame. And after it, well, if we get our asses kicked nobody's going to want to do anything. And after 3-4 PM on a Saturday the museums and shit will be closed (yes I am secretly Dougie Hamilton) so the only stuff left is clubbing (no) or tourist traps like Times Square (also no).

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is famously open late Saturday nights. But I don't think that was actually your main point. 

No 😅 but that IS good to know

Doug, Brock - not bad company!  But how would a 20-something know?

7 is not a forward's number it's a defenseman's number no amount of counterexamples will make me change my mind

Let's go pro:

Phil Esposito
Bill Barber
Ted Lindsay
Brady Tkachuk
Rod Gilbert
Rick Martin
Lanny McDonald
Joe Mullen
Red Berenson

I rest my case.

Bro snuck Brady Tkachuk in there 💀

Yep.  One for you young bucks.   

Hahahaha. Fair.

I still maintain it's a bad look to be under 8 as a forward. And 8 is only acceptable because Ovechkin. I don't particularly like 9 on forwards either ngl. At least it's not 2, like a bunch of the young buck forwards are wearing nowadays. I want to throttle them.

D-men:      2-6, 26-29
Fwds:       7-25
Goalies:    1, 30-35

Dmen: 2-8, 25-28, any doubles
Fwds: 9-25, 29, higher numbers
Goalies: 1, 29-35, higher multiples of 5

Or really just this:


A couple of my views have changed but not many!

Outdoor exercise when the high temp is over 100ºF?  I wonder what happened.

My Arizona friend literally said the same thing: "They were having them practice outside? It's fucking 110 in Phoenix! Literally that's how so many people get heat stroke in AZ and have to be hospitalized!"

Trotsky has one on his site too! Fun to scroll through.
