None of those teams are winning a the Stanley Cup.
Tampa is ACTUALLY the good version of this. Could, calculated, value harvesting. Sell aging stars and use draft capital to get young budding stars.

James Mirtle: There's a fear around the league about the teardown rebuild; a lot of executives are talking up, look at what Boston did...what Pittsburgh's done; what Washington's done; this retool on the fly is getting a lot of shine lately - Halford & Brough (4/6)

The whole Conservative Party voted against legislation to force floor crossers to stand in a by-election back in 2012 (except, from memory, James Bezan).
Jamil Jivani@jamiljivani
Every time there is a floor-crossing, Carney and the Liberals will try to make it about anything but the truth: this is a battle between Carney-style cynicism versus those who believe politics should be about upholding sincere principles and values. jamiljivani.substack.com/p/the-cynical-…

@Mattissimo07 @j_soghigian @Reil76 @PierrePoilievre Im using your own logic to show how ridiculous it is. I didn't think that needed to be pointed out that it wasn't serious.
My fault for not recognizing that.
English
@geoffc13 @j_soghigian @Reil76 @PierrePoilievre Accuse, while doing the same thing you're accusing. This is comical.
English
Everyone keeps arguing with my take on floor crossing. You say you vote for the person because of their party — you want their leader as PM and believe you share the same values.
Yet when I point out that @PierrePoilievre voted against a bill that would have forced floor-crossers to face a by-election (Bill C-306 in 2012), the responses go silent.
If you truly believe MPs should stay loyal to the voters who elected them under a specific party banner, how does supporting a leader who opposed making defectors answer to their constituents square with that?
Make it make sense.
English
@Mattissimo07 @j_soghigian @Reil76 @PierrePoilievre Deflection from the question. Typical.
As already mentioned, your entire argument is built on speculation, and when pushed on it you deflect to "well i can say the same about"
English
@geoffc13 @j_soghigian @Reil76 @PierrePoilievre Who votes to keep or dismiss a party leader?
Impress me with your knowledge
English
@Mattissimo07 @j_soghigian @Reil76 @PierrePoilievre I can as well say the Cons are bribing MPs to keep Pierre as leader, does it make it true?
English
@j_soghigian @Reil76 @PierrePoilievre I can say the same about the Liberal party though. Does that make it true?
English
Have to make the playoffs first, and that is far from done. But if Flyers get third in the Metro, I'd like them against the Penguins. Crosby aside, I'd give the Flyers the advantage in net and from a depth perspective, and I think the Pens have too many guys having anomaly years

@313Hockey Thats not Howard and since when is 52 in 40 better than 52 in 37?
English
"two prospects are goalies" Okay so trade one and get a haul
"undersized D who got shellacked" 21 year old with plenty to improve
"good third liners" Ah yes third liners like Max Plante who has 40 goals in 52 games and is a Hobey Baker finalist
JFresh@JFreshHockey
you look at the prospect pool, it's ranked 4th by the athletic, let's gooo. except the top two prospects are goalies, the top skater is an undersized D who got shellacked this year, and the next three guys project as good third liners.

@grok @JDMCishere @chicfryrice @lordjedi Who tf can afford an 82,000 downpayment on an 85,000 yearly salary.
English
No. Taking median home prices, household incomes, and 30-year mortgage rates into account:
- 1980: Median home ~$64,600, median household income $17,710, avg rate 13.74%.
20% down → ~$52k loan → ~$601/mo payment (41% of monthly income).
- Today (2025/2026): Median home ~$410k, median household income ~$84k, avg rate 6.5%.
20% down → ~$328k loan → ~$2,073/mo payment (30% of monthly income).
Monthly burden is lower now despite higher price-to-income ratio, as low rates more than offset it. (Sources: Census, FRED, HUD, Freddie Mac.)
English
Every BOOMER with this take should look up the job they had in their 20s. Find the median pay for that job NOW. If you went to college make sure to include the cost of student loan repayments NOW. Include the cost of insurance NOW. Then look up the EXACT SAME first house you bought and let me know if you can buy it NOW.
OTHERWISE STFU ABOUT THE DISCUSSION
Lee in Iowa@Lee_in_Iowa
Boomer here. I bought my first house after ten years of saving like crazy. And the interest was 14.5%. I don’t know where kids got the idea that they were due a house and new car at college graduation, but that’s NOT how it ever was.
English
@BryanOnTheMic @WrestleFeatures Huh? Its better for you to sell more tickets if the logic is you make the same amount selling less. You want to attract more people not only to build reccuring customers, but also for merch sales.
If both the 10 whales and 100 fish profit you 10k, you choose the 100 fish.
English
@WrestleFeatures There's no way that TKO cares about pricing out the everyman when they can make just as much money selling less seats.
Why sell to 100 fish when you can sell to 10 whales?
English
Sources indicate to Bodyslam that WWE and TKO are very aware of the discussions on social media surrounding ticket prices especially heading into WrestleMania.
Another source indicated that several top superstars have been pushing for the company to lower ticket prices as they believe that die hard fans are being priced out and they want them to be able to attend shows in person and enjoy the product.

@four421twenty @TheOmegaLiberal @TheChaosWeeber The VAST majority of the population live in BC and Southern Ontario. Sounds like a good reason to move further from absolute oil dependancy
English
@TheOmegaLiberal @geoffc13 @TheChaosWeeber EVs work for Vancouver and much of southern Ontario but most of the country is to remote and has unfavorable climate for EVs. They're are going to be cheap in 5 years but they have huge downsides, they are not for everyone.
English
You guys know in a month or so we'll have outright energy shortages right?
Made In Canada@MadelnCanada
Canada is the 4th largest oil reserves on the planet but it’s $2.02 per litre at the pumps. 🛢️⛽️
English
@four421twenty @TheChaosWeeber Sounds more like the right probably should be more open to other energy sources and stop absolute dependancy on oil
English
@TheChaosWeeber So are energy shortages and inflation, at least the left should learn from this and not be so anti energy in the future.
English
@Gannon_144 @alleria_eh A majority government is not but a title. MPs are free to vote how they see fit regardless of political affiliation.
Would it be the same issue if rather than floor cross, their MP votes against party lines and is removed, to vote in future as an independant?
English
@alleria_eh Devil's advocating here:
Floor crossing to an already majority government is a pretty big difference to gaining a majority from floor crossing ... it feels disingenuous to suggest a correlation
English
Understand that I don't agree with floor crossing.
But no government, liberal or conservative, ever removed the ability to floor cross, so I'm not gonna sit here and scream about something Harper refused to stop.
He laughed at the concept on the HoC and now poilievre is suffering for it. Harper fucked poilievre not trudeau or carney.
Hell trudeau lost an MP to the conservatives and he didn't even stop it.
English
@JustinT38950339 @alleria_eh Theres no way you used moral and honest to describe Harper government 🤣
English
@alleria_eh People were more honest and moral back then, since Trudeau took office the clownshow began, see what they could get away with without the people revolting. The corruption in Ottawa now is out of control. And no one to hold them to account.
English
@RebeccaTucker85 @Trendtowar18751 @HotSotin As well, using NK as your foundation of what communism is is pretty disingeous as well. Im sure people also believe NK is democratic too
English
@RebeccaTucker85 @Trendtowar18751 @HotSotin They dont. But the US has the power to sway global trade due to their own presence. If the USA were to say 'if you trade with them, we are upping our prices" then yes most countries will avoid that country.
English
Crazy idea: Let's split a country in socialist and capitalist halves and check in on them in 75 years.
English
@RebeccaTucker85 @Trendtowar18751 @HotSotin Same reason the USA trades with China. Not all areas have the resources needed to function.
When you get hit with hard sanctions while trying to procure these resources, then they turn around and say "well look who failed" is pretty disingenous
English
@Trendtowar18751 @HotSotin Why do socialist countries need access to the capitalist countries to survive?
English
@xUncleDaddy @Riley_Gaines_ Can't say I agree. Maybe a tad childish but you are allowed to curate your own online experience. It's certainly no less civil than dragging it even further with another post.
English
@geoffc13 @Riley_Gaines_ Posting about it is kind of caddy and could be interpreted as un-civil. That’s just my opinion tho. Thanks for responding to my post!
English
Crazy concept, I know, but I still like your video lol. Being a fully grown adult and blocking someone for simply having different political beliefs is wild.
English
@camscarz @Dispropoganda Bro thinks turning Twitter from a Pop culture forum to a political cesspool was a good thing. Id imagine many on there voted republican, it just politics wasn't shoved down your throat before elon made it a propaganda machine.
English
These were the top 20 Twitter accounts with the most engagement in 2021. They were mostly either democrats, or celebrities pushing democrat talking points. Not a single conservative or Republican account among them.
Nate Silver@NateSilver538
These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.
English
@Riley_Gaines_ This is why they kill people… can’t even be civil, like Charlie always warned. When you loose the ability to civilly dispute your different opinions is when the wars start.
