    Official Hockey discussion thread

    That is quite cool @LooseCannon Best I can do around here would be NAHL, ECHL, and NHL ... but yeah live hockey at any level is fun. In the 80s USIU (United States International University located near San Diego)) for some odd reason, decided to go big into hockey and play Division 1. They...

    The Jagr cermony was well done for sure. Legend On another note. 2 games back 1 goal (another reveresed due to offsides) and 2 assists. Nice!

    The Beatles

    I gave the Band on the Run Underdubbed Mix a shot (released a few days ago). Quite impressive and a bit weird (in a good way except I am not fond of the reworking of the track order). Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five is an instrumental (all the others have vocals), but wow is it impressive

    Thanks. I always find arena/stadium selections interesting and there are always a ton of conflicting interests. But I do think it is critical for the longer season sports (baseball, hockey, basketball) to get a facility in the right place. Look at the poor Tampa Ray's. One of the best teams in...

    Hey @LooseCannon Question for you, I read an interesting article in the Athletic about new arena sites for the Senators. Interested in your perspective on this. https://theathletic.com/5236528/2024/02/01/ottawa-senators-arena/

    USA Politics

    For sure the odds are slim. Like I said if she has any chance she needs to pull out all the stops and somehow force Trump into a debate (which will only happen if she can get a win soon). The rest of the field dropping out at least gives her a theoretical chance. But it is now or never

    USA Politics

    Agree on Haley. The odds are slim as the odds always were once DeSantis flamed put. The main thing she has going for her is it is a 2 person race now and her campaign needs to find a way to capitalize on that. Short of Trump keeling over, she needs to win a state and do it soon. If she gets...

    USA Politics

    All good points. I guess though my main point is there are plausible ways both can win With 3rd party, you certainly have Libertarians (my most likely vote) and the Green party. But anyone of note running under "no labels" could be a spoiler. In any case it is incredibly likely there will be...

    USA Politics

    I generally agree with what @Mosh said. But a few things to add 1. Michigan, there has been more of a disconnect on UAW and members voting over time. They always endorse Democrats, but that seems to have a bigger impact on state races than national. Also there is a significant...

    USA Politics

    I hoped Hayley could have pulled off an upset, she got what she wanted in a 2-person race which is the only shot of Trump not wining the nomination -- still really low odds, but better than a crowded field ... in any case we will most likely end up with another election with 2 candidates that...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    Yes . that makes no sense at all ... there are all kinds of continuity plans ... not that anyone would be thrilled with Harris .. that is the plan

    Russia invades Ukraine

    For sure, the world in general (and Europe in particular) owe Ukraine big time. We should all be pouring in whatever equipment/money they need to defeat Russia.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    A decent amount of expensive equipment blown up in the past week, an anti-artillery radar was destroyed (by artillery) and an AI powered anti-drone equipment (by a drone) ... about $700M wiped out in the last week just with those 3

    Pre first gulf war, I recall things like this. I think that is probably your best bet .. but it was more around not repeating the same strategic mistakes and probably one of the reasons the conflict was limited to freeing Kuwait https://www.airandspaceforces.com/article/0192storm/

    Random History Thread

    There was quite a bit around the first Gulf War ... but I do not recall it being prominent in the early 2000s .. if anything after 9/11 it as more around Pearl harbor/WWII in the Pacific. I could be wrong, but that is what I recall though it would have made sense with the guerilla war post the...
