Found an unopened hockey pack from dollarama while decluttering. I stopped buying hockey cards more or less around 2019 so there's nothing too recent here. I used to buy any mixed packs I saw with any of the pens visible. Time to get my binders out again, reorganize everything and visit dollarama to buy packs cause I've almost 5 years of hockey cards to catch up on XD

I would LOVE to hear more on your thoughts about geno!

geno FUCKINGGGGG malkin why are the only ppl who still talk and think about him our beautiful pens rpfers when he is still out there RIGHT NOW putting up 70 points a year with 0.5 knees and 30 games of a competent linemate in the last two seasons ...

anyway there is a serious answer for this. xenophobia ! it's always just been plain old xenophobia b/c "evgeni malkin" is a very very russian name and geno doesn't like to talk to media and didn't for a long time speak particularly good english* (*in public appearances) and well. when you have a temperamental russian guy as thee literal teammate of the canadian model of good boy-ness in sidcros then well. he's just some geno idccccc

-> that and the trouble of his initial crossing to america + the fact that he asked for more money in aav than sid did AND that sid is better is all a perfect storm of like. "malkin = not that good" sentiment.

when he IS that good. being better than sidcros is a fucking TASK like. you don't even need two hands to sum up the ppl on that list ok ... gretzky lemieux mcdavid jagr. jagr also really suffered from the same kind of "non-canadian + top 5 all time canadian teammate" as geno does LOL because i will also see ppl not put him up on this list but im getting out of hand here BACK TO GENO

here's a list of players almost-38 year old injury-plagued malkin has a higher points-per-game than:

jaromir jagr!

mitch marner

alexander ovechkin

david pastrnak

MARK MESSIER

mats sundin

paul kariya

pavel bure

jean beliveau

brett + bobby hull

COUNTLESS OTHERS

here's a list of players who have had more points in a single playoff run than geno did in 2009

wayne gretzky

mario lemieux

connor mcdavid

paul coffey

... not a very long list innit.

ANYWAY geno 4 evar... he's a first ballot hall of famer and a player we should all be so lucky to watch be dramatic as long as we have him.

BA: Simon neglected to mention that his cousin was actually a pretty good musician (laughs) SG: I don't think even I knew he was a musician at the time, he was just my cousin Neil from Hull (laughs) BA: He had a care about music, he had a passion and an intensity as well. And I just sort of knew he had to be part of the band, really. - Exchange between Brett Anderson and Simon Gilbert from Suede: The Insatiable Ones (2018) Happy Birthday, Neil Codling!

I don't like scary movies so I don't see the alien reference, can you tell me what I missed

I only watched this episode once so I may well have missed something.

We get an initial ‘establishing that there’s a creature in this episode’ shot which I don’t think is anything other than that. It could be a nod to the Zygerrian slaver’s animal which appeared in ep 5 last season as easily as anything else. There were a few shots of it looking down at the team from the rooftops.

.

The creature drops down on Wrecker, he complains that it's drooling on him, then it tries to drag him away through a tunnel in the roof but he’s strong enough to fight it off.

This references a scene in Alien where one of the crew is dragged off through a hole in the ceiling of the room they’re in while they’re searching for the alien (and the cat). IIRC the camera cuts between views of the xenomorph, with drooling jaws dripping, watching the crew from above before specifically drooling on it's imminent victim as it gets closer to him, making it’s attack, and dragging the hapless Brett away.

.

Scenes of the 3 separated Batch members following the tracking signal through the tunnels before losing the signal then rushing around a corner dramatically.

This is from Aliens where the group of space marines have split up and are searching for the xenomorph. They lose the tracking signal, tension builds, the music swells, and when they round the corner dramatically they don't find anything about to eat them either. Not immediately at least.

.

This small amount of melted looking tunnel detail

The styling of the inside of the self-mobile Mecha weapon is very reminiscent of the look of the alien ship interiors on the occasions that we see those parts. Smooth curves, lots of details. More a sense of HR Geiger’s style than one specific reference.

Wrecker grabs the creature and throws it out of a small window

Which may or may not be a reference to Alien Resurrection where a Xenomorph is sucked out of the spaceship through a very small hole in the hull. That was my initial impression but I could be wrong about it.

.

Overall throughout the Alien franchise the ongoing theme is that the shady corporations behind the scenes want to acquire the xenomorph and put it to use as a weapon. To genetically manipulate it to suit their purposes, and to be able to hold total control over it so they can force it to be a mindless tool they can use.

But it never works. The alien is too smart and too resistant to their efforts and it always goes on a murder rampage and (almost) everybody dies.

Compare this to the Kaminoans having created an army of genetically manipulated people over whom they want to have absolute control so they can use them as a mindless weapon to do whatever it is that they order them to do.

Just because the war is over doesn't mean the Kams are ready to let their creations go. They already established that they still consider the clones to be Kaminoan property.

okay yeah it’s been an hour but i’m still thinking of that interview w miro and otter and robo at their first development camp. otter & miro being like yeah i was born and raised in the same place vs. robo going through his whole childhood timeline. miro growing up watching pavel datsyuk and otter growing up watching henrik lundqvist and robo just listing some new jersey devils. robo picking brett hull when asked to pick a star because his skating was also 'not up to par’ vs. miro saying guys currently on the team vs. otter picking bish even though bish hadn’t played for the team yet. and then otter giving a whole ass dissertation on his favorite meal that his nana makes where robo and miro just say steak and pizza respectively. otter shouting out gossip girl and then him also shouting out gossip girl in his post-contract interview this summer. miro and robo both being normal about development camp and otter going into how intense battling for a spot is and then going on to say that anything short of a national championship in the coming year was going to be a failure. robo saying he’d be starstruck when he got to take the ice for his first nhl game and now being like ......... the pillar of the franchise going forward. all three of them! i’m insane!!

stars for the word meme

Oh this one is going to hurt.

In 1999 my hockey team, the Buffalo Sabres, lost to the Dallas Stars in the Stanley Cup Finals on a bullshit missed call. Players weren't supposed to be able to score while they were in the goalie crease and Brett Hull's foot was in the damn crease.

I remember going to school the next day and everyone was so sad and somber about that.

Also, fuck Brett Hull.

#VoxPop "Perhaps the most noteworthy stage performance at the old [Beacon Theater in Beacon, NY] was when the popular Vox Pop radio program (on WABC) was broadcast live coast-to-coast from its stage on the night of March 24, 1948.

"The Vox Pop (shortened form of Voice of the People) show at the time was a light mixture of fun interviews, quiz questions, and human interest stories of ordinary folks recorded on location from towns (on this night, Beacon) across the country.

"The show’s stars were Parks Johnson and Warren Hull, who interviewed Beacon resident Jane Brett, Beacon High principal William Pearse, and, for a touch of local color, Beacon mountaineer George 'Kim' Barrett. A packed audience paid $2.50 per ticket for this one-time-only event."

Just a reminder that on this date in 2019, the St. Louis Blues became Stanley Cup Champions, going from last place in the NHL on January 1st, to winning the first Stanley Cup in the franchise's 52 year history. In honor of Brett Hull's legendary speech, June 12 will forever be known as "We Went Blues" Day.
