While we’re at it, can we shoot the term “Out of pocket” into the sun. Just heard 3 different definitions from 3 different age groups. It went from “being broke” to “out of office with limited electronic communication” to “out of your mind”. If a phrase has that many different interpretations, maybe it just sucks. To me, out of pocket means spending my own money and getting reimbursed by my employer later for work related expenses. Another explanation just to muddle things more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) "Out of pocket" to me roughly means that I will be unavailable: "I will be out of pocket while I'm on vacation." Although I also know @French Collection's definition. The meaning of the phrase is contextually based.

In medical expenses, "out of pocket" literally means the portion of a bill that is not covered by insurance and there someone has to pay it themselves..."out of their own pocket." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss says out of pocket all the time for not being available. He'll say; hey man, just in case you're needing me, I'll be out of pocket until 2 PM, I'm taking care of some personal stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much the universal definition I know even outside the medical world. It's anything you have to pay for yourself.

bg17 Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Looking forward to ZB doing something either good or bad tonight just so I don’t keep clicking into OBE and OOP conversation, even despite the scintillating nature thereof.

LGR4GM Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 And just like that Benson slides to .54ppg with a goal and an assist last night. Should be interesting when Quinn and Thompson return how they do the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner - Tage - Tuch Quinn - Cozens - JJP Benson - Mitts - Greenway VO - Krebs - KO BUT.... that brings the 3 full scoring lines thing closer to reality, and I think Benson - Mitts - Greenway might actually be a pretty good shutdown line as well as a scoring line. If VO just doesn't work with Krebs and KO, swap him with Greenway maybe. But really: VO must go. Even playing better hockey lately, he just doesn't seem to naturally complement any line he plays on.

Skinner - Tage - Tuch Benson- Mitts - JJP Greenway - Cozens - Quinn Robinson - Krebs - KO Couple of changes, but I think this is close. Maybe a conversation for a different thread, but there might be a world where Skinner is moved at the deadline/offseason. The issue is that depending on what the return is, we may have to keep some salary just to stay above the cap floor (and get value). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Lee Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 That’s disappointing. We really don’t need an 18 year old to have a 30 point season for us this year, do we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 If I'm Benson, watching what is happening right now, actually trying to play while the *****-show storm engulfs everything on the ice around him, knowing the recent past history of players that were here.....I'd be begging to get ne out as quickly as possible. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 With Skinner out, put the kid on the top line and see how it goes. Maybe his all-around game will help them give up fewer odd-man rushes (though he is still prone to rookie penalties). 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does something most of our roster fails to do. Help produce chances and goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
