  2. [OT] Tattoos

    in The Aud Club

    Posted

    I got my first for my 40th birthday last year. I've been part of the DIY/punk/hardcore music scene in Glasgow for over 20 years and one of the few people I know who wasn't tattooed. Decided to go through the experience. I have a fist sized Ruderal Bumblebee on my calf now. (A tattoer I liked did some charity pieces for bee conservation). On the train just now but will add pic later. Probably going to go for a half sleeve next, due to work couldn't go  full sleeve.

    Really? Why not?  Dude played in 32 games, started 30 and went 24-5-1 with a 1.89 GAA and .927 save percentage along with 5 Shutouts. Those are pretty stellar numbers.

    @Thorny above has hit the nail on the head for me. 

    But this is what keeps us interested isn't it. No debates = no fun.

    Happily surprised.

    Thought that Heiskanen would pass him.  Didn't think he should, but expected he would.

     

    Why not?  Binnington completely changed the Blues fortunes.

    IMHO, he should win it. 

    I thought the Calder was for the rookie of the year. Bennington hasn't played enough in my opinion. Yeah, he's be great but has he even played half the season?

  10. NEXT COACH should be? mega thread ...

    "He’s a great coach,” said the Sabres’ Dahlin, who played for Grönborg at the 2018 Olympics. “He’s kind of North American style. It’s pretty similar, but of course he has his own thing.”

    Grönborg’s coaching style features a free-flowing game where players aren’t defined by their position.

    “We involve all five players in the defense as well as the offense,” he said. “The game is not as static anymore. Everyone needs to go outside the box a little bit. Forwards are not always forwards, and defensemen are not always defensemen. It’s the situation that steers that and dictates it. That’s how you raise the pace of the game.”

    On identifying a team's strengths.

    “Everyone wants to talk about fast-paced games, and I agree with that. I like that part of it. But sometimes you just don’t have that kind of a team. Well, then you have to make adjustments to a new way of thinking. So I think the biggest thing is the adjustment part of it and agree on ‘this is our strengths’ and how do you get games to play into our strengths?”

    “There’s so much information out there – for coaches, especially – but how do you boil everything down to what’s important to you and your team and your environment? I think that’s the biggest key because the information is all over the place. I mean, you’ve got video, you’ve got analytics, you’ve got what I call soft value, which is working with the players individually and within the team. They’re not robots, you know? There needs to be a balance of everything."
