What's up, Overcooked Pizza Rolls?

For serious though - "I don't care" is the biggest example of cis privilege. Do you self-identify as male? Then you use male pronouns, none of this "well, whatever works" bullshit. Same goes for folks that self-identify as female. Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other folks don't care.

I identify as non binary/genderqueer and i don't really care about pronouns, just none of that zee or zir shit please. He, Her, They...it just doesn't really matter to me personally.

It is a inherently personal thing. And yeah, respect others wishes!

When I try to explain that solar cells in current market form produce more pollution in their creation than they can counterbalance with natural energy during the cells lifetime and that students at MIT have created a cell that costs less in pollution to make and can produce enough green energy to make up for multiple of the old cells production.  I am stopped however before I can explain the existence of the new cells and how the current solar companies are banning them to protect their infrastructure by persons who think I am condemning solar power. Then tell me I am a supporter of big oil companies.

hi.

welcome back Drew,

What's with that Fleury contract, man?

i guess let's save it for a Hockey thread.

Screw that.  This is now a hockey thread.   Fleury's contract, which definitely isnt a bad one, considering Crawford is getting 6 mil, because it has to be him.   They don't have any exceptional goaltending prospects in their pipeline, the trading/free agent market is thin, and outside of his playoff collapses, has proven to be a solid goalie, provided he doesn't try to play the puck on his own.   Pretty good signing, given their situation.

Drewcifer

He may be a better goalie under the new coaching staffs system.. and I have faith that he might be, but based on his playoff performances he did not deserve a raise, and I would've liked them to at least see how he performed this season in the playoffs before committing to him for 4 more years..

he already this season tied his career best of 4 shutouts.. so.. there is some improvements under Johnston's system.

Shero/Bylsma really did a number on this team.

I knew after this point your argument was all downhill.

One of the biggest factors in contract negotiations these days is contracts of comparable players.  You look at recent goalie signings; , Varlamov: 5 years, 5.9 per, Bishop: 2 years at 5.95 per, Lehtonen: 5 years at 5.9 per, Crawford: 6 years at 6 per.  He's had similar statistical numbers to them with, give or take, plus averages more games per season than any of them.  Then on top of that you factor in that Pittsburgh doesn't have any other solid options.  Nobody's really looking to trade a goalie, there aren't any solid free agents now or coming up in the offseason.  Then you factor in that in his previous ten seasons in the NHL, one shortened due to the lockout, one due to injury, he's had at least 30 wins four times, 40 wins two times, and has a Stanley Cup ring, and excluding the lockout shortened season and 2002-2008, hes played in at least 60 games since 2006.  If you've got a logical reason why that's a bad contract, have at it.
