I used to own 6 season tickets, but didn't renew post-covid because we moved away. I have still tried to fly back and attend a few games per year. I will not attend another Ducks home game or buy a single piece of Ducks merch as long as Quenneville is coach. I hope every valuable RFA is poached.

How did appeasement work out last time?

Pi day is for slicing.
The Ides is for stabbing.

Weird. If I could find an unburned book, I would have sworn it was the tyrant - not the citizens - who was stabbed in the back on the Ides of March. I guess I can wait one more day.

Vertical construction is economically wasteful compared to horizontal construction. We only build up in dense cities where available acreage does not match residential/commercial potential. Land demand is lower, so land value is lower, so building height is lower. Conceivable, yes. Potential, no.

If Ducks had won their past 2 games, those extrapolations entirely flip:

Jets: 119
Stars: 112.5
Avs: 103.2
Wild: 94
Blues: 90.8
UHC: 90.7

Knights: 110
Kings: 96.1
Ducks: 95
Oilers: 93.2
Canucks: 87

Ducks climb to Pacific third seed, bumping Edmonton to WC2, and bumping St. Louis.

Pepe Silvia!

Terrible proxy, but extrapolating the remaining games of the season based solely on last 10 record for @notnhl.bsky.social Western playoff hunt team, you would end up with:
Jets: 119
Stars: 112.5
Avs: 103.2
Wild: 94
Blues: 94.5
UHC: 90.7

Knights: 110
Oilers: 93.2
Kings: 96.1
Canucks: 93
Ducks: 83

It stings because the Ducks were so hot before slipping in Van and StL games, both of which felt must-win. There is still a narrow playoff path because Minn (9-12-0), Edm (5-7-1), LA (8-10-4), Cal (6-7-3), & Vancouver (13-13-5) have all played terrible recently.

Sounds kind of like a DEI hire to me. There weren't enough unqualified, retired lapdogs in the upper ranks, so they artificially promoted one.
