The questionable businesses of Trump/elites/Rothschilds, and other former President connections to trafficking businesses...

I have done extensive research on ALOT of subjects, you could say i am learning everything under the sun and thus have came to the following conclusions:
I understand how your family works, your companies, your routes around the world, and several of your questionable locations and businesses. I want you to come find me, talk to me, I know your out there...
There is this restricted mine town in Elizabeth Bay, that has a Siemens metal bar (industrial) at the mine (picture in link) meaning the company has their hands in a dirty business. Conveniently, there is also a Restricted diamond mining area nearby. We all know about the blood diamonds.. 🩸 💎
According to Wikipedia, "Siemens AG is a German multinational conglomerate company headquartered in Munich and the largest industrial manufacturing company in Europe with branch offices abroad. The principal divisions of the company are Industry, Energy, Healthcare (Siemens Healthineers), and Infrastructure & Cities, which represent the main activities of the company. The company is a prominent maker of medical diagnostics equipment and its medical health-care division, which generates about 12 percent of the company's total sales, is its second-most profitable unit, after the industrial automation division. The company is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index.”
The most interesting thing about Siemens is a former Bush Family member, maybe even a president was part of 🤡

According to Wikipedia the founder of Siemens & Halske (original Siemens) was, “Ernst Werner Siemens (von Siemens from 1888; 13 December 1816 – 6 December 1892) who was a German electrical engineer, inventor and industrialist. Siemens's name has been adopted as the SI unit of electrical conductance, the siemens. He founded the electrical and telecommunications conglomerate Siemens.
He is the fourth child (of fourteen) of a tenant farmer of the Siemens family, an old family of Goslar, documented since 1384. He was a brother of Carl Heinrich von Siemens and Carl Wilhelm Siemens.
Parents: Christian Ferdinand Siemens (31 July 1787 – 16 January 1840) and wife Eleonore Henriette Siemens (Deichmann) (1792 – 8 July 1839).”
There seems to be a potential family connection between Eleonore Deichmann and Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962) and a major connection (marriage) between the Bushes and Eleanors. Coincidence? I don’t believe so... at least one of their families lines, if not both are connected to the Royals and Rothschilds, the same goes for any other individual mentioned in this page.
Prescott Bush was the father of George Herbert Walker Bush and the grandfather of George W. Bush, both future presidents. He helped finance Hitler from America. Due to his funding, his organization was seized in the, “Trading With The Enemy Act of 1942.”
George W. Bush, becomes the 43rd President of the United States in the year 2000. Bush and his family declare they are the ancestors of the House of Plantagenet, whose linage stems from the Royal House of Judah.
Could it be the “Herbert” Walker Bush is really really related to Herbert Simon founder of the original company of, before it was renamed and reestablished as Simon Property Group, Inc./Ltd?
This would mean the Trumps, Bushes, and any other household politically/government affiliated individual are all part of the royal house and share the same “bloodline” and also control/have connections in other countries like Russia/Germany/Italy/England/etc...
They put on “a show” for the general public through the media to make it appear as if there are “issues,” to create chaos in the public, so no one catches on to the reality, which is they a connected family line living in different countries that work together behind the scenes and create problems to mislead to further their own gain. Occasionally, one of the families may become more selfish and double-cross their other family members, but that’s a different story...
Ever wonder why celebrities and Royals have strange or repeating names? Above is why. Conveniently, the last names came be changed through marriage (or even a 2nd/3rd identity) to cover their tracks. 

“ Carl Heinrich von Siemens (often just Carl von Siemens) (3 March 1829 – 21 March 1906).
In 1853, Carl Siemens traveled to St. Petersburg where he established the branch office of his brothers company Siemens & Halske. Siemens had a contract for constructing the Russian telegraph network at the time.
Carl went to England in 1869, where he assisted his brother William. In the 1880s, he returned to Russia before he became the senior chief executive of Siemens & Halske after the death of his brother Werner in 1892. He resigned in 1904. For his service to Russia, he was ennobled by Tsar Nicholas II in 1895.”
Clearly, Siemens, a company headquartered in Germany, but established worldwide, has deep connections with Russia concerning many businesses including power (electricity), communication network, and industrial side...and on top of that the American Bush family has their hands in it, so one could only come to the conclusion every problem ever created is a lie...
Why? It is simply a power struggle between the 5 original Rothschild/Royal families that established themselves worldwide a long time ago. From that point forward they branched out, married their family members from the other countries (to keep the money in family and grow simultaneously).
Eventually we are in today’s time, and they all have different last names and have grown so large you can barley tell them apart. They purposefully “cover” their tracks they best they can...
Trump is also related to the Royals. Near the bottom is more information.

I believe Simon Property Group, Inc./Ltd. to be Donald Trump’s ‘The Trump Organization.’
According to Wikipedia, “The Trump Organization is a group of about 500 business entities of which Donald Trump owns. About 250 of these entities use the Trump name.”
That means the other 250 are “under a different name,” Simon Property group perhaps...the Trumps sure do love real estate and investments and Simon Property group sure seems to have a very similar history to the Trump tower almost as though they are the same business just divided into 2 separately names business to confuse you. I honestly can’t blame you...🏥💰☸️ Where’s Simon? Hello 👋 Simon, I know exactly who you are, I found you! ⚖️
“The organization was founded in 1923 by Donald Trump's grandmother, Elizabeth Christ Trump, and his father, Fred Trump, as E. Trump & Son. Donald Trump began leading it in 1971, renamed it around 1973, and handed off its leadership to his children in 2017.”

Berkshire Hathaway (founded by Oliver Chase—important! His family relations connect to the others! This same concept applies to any other families/companies mentioned), is currently run by CEO Warren E. Buffett, Charles T. Munger and AJit Jain
According to Wikipedia, “Berkshire now owns a diverse range of businesses including confectionery, retail, railroads, home furnishings, encyclopedias, manufacturers of vacuum cleaners, jewelry sales, manufacture and distribution of uniforms, and several regional electric and gas utilities.”
I want to point out just like the Trump Organization, Semens, and Simons, Berkshire is involved in investments including investments, property, and real estate!!!! Tisk, Tisk, Tisk...
On top of that the company messes with jewels...that can only come from place, the the blood diamond mines or other types of mines (salt/oil/metals/precious stones/etc...) $$$$$ 🙂🙃😉
He also owns a large part of the railroad system (transportation/ports— also used for sex/drug trafficking/transporting goods/etc.) that Berkshire Hathaway owns.
🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿
Let not forget Bill Gates! He owns the American/Canadian railway and when Warren Buffett dies, everything that Warren owns aka Berkshire Hathaway and its companies and railroads will ALL be donated to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, giving them control over all the major railways within the US and control over almost all the major businesses and products we buy everyday.
Sounds like a monopoly to me, but whatever, it’s almost kinda amazing how all you guys worked together to create this misleading, heading in the wrong direction “empire”...
🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸
Whomever is reading this and this goes for ANYONE, if you truly want to change how the world works find and hold every individual accountable for their actions that are connected to the hypothetical laws and business empire they have created and yes it’s hypothetically, interpretation and perception of the laws is important... lawyers do it all the time... EVERYONE has a choice, the majority of Individuals “support” the system ONLY, because that’s all they’ve ever known.. since birth it gets ingrained into your head.
Psychology/reverse psychology and the mind is quite a powerful tool that can be easily manipulated, if you understand it that is...
But ultimately, you only have one life and it’s quite fucked to be living on the “Earth Prison” that the whole population is responsible for creating in today’s world. Like wtf? You can’t do anything anymore, fuck that! And yes, it’s equally everyone’s fault. The Elites for creating this “chaotic prison world” to further their plans that fit their needs only... and the rest of Earth’s general population who follows every word you say, like the good dogs they are. I’m sorry, but it’s true... and that’s why they should not be held accountable, unless of course someone “chooses” to take it into their own hands for whatever reason they have..I’m sure once the full truth is finally revealed many individuals will be shocked and very angry... who knows where that may lead, some won’t care, and others knew it was coming all along...
The golden rule, “Treat others, how you would want to be treated.”
The US constitution is unconstitutional. I stand by this.It does not define what it specifically means by “principle.” Aka it’s values. It merely states the individual principles as a whole aka “our bill of rights” and defines laws under them, but not once defines, what specific “principle” they ment... this means I can interpret it how I like, regardless of how many laws there are, bc they did not specify which definition of the word “principles” they meant. It can have several definitions and meanings, so how do I know how to properly interpret it? It doesn’t specify.... It’s all an “act” just like all the “bills” they write... What would the puppet show be without it right?
Listed below is how the hypothetically true “money/drug/sex-traffic/electricty, water, land, and other laundering businesses” are connected.
I have thought about this for a very long time, I have studied them, and put myself if their shoes...I try to be as fair as possible, though the families and companies listed below are all connected (marriage/2nd identity bc of incest and/or trying to hide, what the publicly traded companies really are [Fortune 500, for example] that everyone [general public] supports by working foin/or against the system.
Yes, some of these individuals are guilty of horrendous crimes including mass genocide, but that’s okay, I’ve decided, as long as they break their evil system down and convert it into a positive system that truly works in favor of the people instead of Exploiting the whole world and storing children and animals in shipping containers? Like wtf is that shit? Are you not ashamed of yourselves? Is greed worth it? A black soul and heart... I am the soul collector and I am coming for you! Neither good nor bad, I hear the screams I hear the prayers and the rituals, I hear the true desires...And yes, I am fully aware you know that I know... so here is my reply. And don’t get me wrong if anyone else has a valid reason as to how you harmed them,and they decide to come for you, remember it’s their choice and it was also your choice to harm them in whatever way...the golden rule, I say!
I hope whomever is part of this... I can teach you, to convert the negative into positive... I have many plans to share...
I understand the structure and something or someone will always be greater and it’s equal will always be the lesser. They are the same just a different perspective... The structure needs to be turned inside out and needs to be rearranged.
Everyone and Everything can easily be categorized. In simple terms this is what Algorithms are. I call it the chaotic pattern...The Alpha algorithm or what I’m assuming is the main quantum computer that combines the ALL separate individuals’ data on Earth (mini algorithm), information everyone freely gives out everyday without thinking twice about it, into a super algorithm that could potentially “predict” the future and make “plans” based on all this knowledge and data collected as to how humans behave, what they buy, live, etc.. into a nice chart that could potentially be followed...
I understand that most of were born into this pre-established family business and were breed to continue the traditions... it’s normal that’s just how it’s always been... That’s why your family is not necessarily guilty even though at the same time you are, bc you kept pushing the agenda knowing what was really happening behind the scenes.
I guess everyone part of your family or any of the associated business owned by many individuals are lucky that they are not stuck in shipping containers, sex trafficking, 🩸 Diamond mines, drugs, laundering, etc.... imagine being on the opposite end of the spectrum...
Why not use your power and money for the light good instead of the shadow of evil. Negative energy collects and feeds in ways that you don’t for-see.
I see the whole spectrum even the electro-magnetic frequency rays force behind it all. Adam the first living universal Atom spark that created the universes lives within me... I see everything on the spectrum. It’s a blessing and a curse. The  fibonacci curse and the curse of 3s... I see ALL the forms of 3s.
Below are questionable companies responsible for horrendous crimes and individuals who are connected to one another usually by marriage or birth... All the information below stems from different Wikipedia sites (sources). There are many more companies and people involved I did not mention. But I see you Simpsons, Burns, i see who Hitler really was it’s not like he is really someone’s father...🙃, Stewie, and so many others 🧐 I see you ALL!!!! Hello Rothschilds! I’ve studied your family tree extensively, I see all the different names used for the same people to hide the incest. You should be proud, without it, you could have never built this empire.
I would bet your whole kingdom that, I share your bloodline, I too am from Rheinland-Pfalz, marked the female bear born on the half moon 🌓 I truly miss it, but bc of your “vaccine plan” I probably will never be able to travel there again, since I do not trust a vaccine whose long-term effects are not known.
It’s not like the military gave my dad a shot that gave him progressive supranuclear palzy years later, he’s the youngest person to ever “get this disease” in the world...they studied him at Harvard. I don’t trust it. Why would I? It destroyed his life! From the bottom of my heart, whomever is responsible for giving all the soldiers shots containing different diseases in the 80s and early 90s, FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! That’s why I hate the world system so much and refuse to support it.

Amschel Moses Rothschild was born in about 1710. He was a German Jewish silk trader and money changer in the Judengasse (Jewstreet) in Frankfurt. Around 1743 he placed a red hexagram sign (which numerically and geometrically convert into the number 666) above the entrance of his door. His house was also red in color.
Within two centuries, the Rothschild, instructed this hexagram sign to be made part of the Israeli flag 🇮🇱. He had 8 children with Schönche Lechnich, one of his sons, Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), is the founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty. He marries Guttle SchnappeSchönche Lechnich (Rothschild) in 1770, and they have 10 children together.
In 1776, Mayer Amschel Rothschild creates the Illuminati and hands over the organizations development to Adam Weishaupt. Weishaupt sneaks in the Continental Order of Freemasons with this Illuminati doctrine. This doctrine claims a new order for the human race under the dictatorship of Satan and his supporters. This view is accepted and spread like a wildfire and is pursued in Masonic Lodges worldwide to this day.
In 1777, Nathan Mayer Rothschild is born, who is followed by Kalmann (Carl) Mayer Rothschild/Carl Mayer Freiherr von Rothschild in 1788. Carl is the founder of the Rothschild banking family of Naples. He had child named Adolf Carl....
Edmond James de Rothschild (Baron Abraham Edmond Benjamin James de Rothschild) has a son named Maurice de Rothschild. (Notice the name “Baron”...).
Adolf Hitler is really Maurice de Rothschild with fake beard and hair piece and carries out his father’s (Edmond James de Rothschild) work. Since the war caused a sugar shortage, Maurice would have also been the candy man aka Willy Wonka with his Cain top hat 🎩
Adolf HitleMaurice de Rothschild also has another name, which I believe to be Fred Trump, making trump his son... The pictures look to comparable... Anne (Anna), Mary, Maria, and Christ seems to be a shared motherly name between the Rothschild family history, Trumps, and Hitler.... (if you look up hitlers mom, it’s clearly a fake-photoshopped image). Also notice Trump’s youngest son is named “Barren.”
One must remember it is very easy to put misinformation out there, that includes changing names/birthdays/ and “events” that happened in their lives. Usually the birthdays are around the same years or don’t fully mention the full birthday for one individual, a lot of names also seem to repeat, which could be considered another clue towards the truth.

Baron Abraham Edmond Benjamin James de Rothschild (19 August 1845 – 2 November 1934) was a French member of the Rothschild banking family.

According to Wikipedia the founder of Siemens & Halske (original Siemens) was, “Ernst Werner Siemens (von Siemens from 1888; 13 December 1816 – 6 December 1892) who was a German electrical engineer, inventor and industrialist. Siemens's name has been adopted as the SI unit of electrical conductance, the siemens. He founded the electrical and telecommunications conglomerate Siemens.
He is the fourth child (of fourteen) of a tenant farmer of the Siemens family, an old family of Goslar, documented since 1384. He was a brother of Carl Heinrich von Siemens and Carl Wilhelm Siemens.
Parents: Christian Ferdinand Siemens (31 July 1787 – 16 January 1840) and wife Eleonore Henriette Siemens (Deichmann) (1792 – 8 July 1839).”
There seems to be a potential family connection between Eleonore Deichmann and Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962) and a major connection (marriage) between the Bushes and Eleanors. Coincidence? I don’t believe so... at least one of their families lines, if not both are connected to the Royals and Rothschilds, the same goes for any other individual mentioned in this page.
Prescott Bush was the father of George Herbert Walker Bush and the grandfather of George W. Bush, both future presidents. He helped finance Hitler from America. Due to his funding, his organization was seized in the, “Trading With The Enemy Act of 1942.”
George W. Bush, becomes the 43rd President of the United States in the year 2000. Bush and his family declare they are the ancestors of the House of Plantagenet, whose linage stems from the Royal House of Judah.
Could it be the “Herbert” Walker Bush is really really related to Herbert Simon founder of the original company of, before it was renamed and reestablished as Simon Property Group, Inc./Ltd?
This would mean the Trumps, Bushes, and any other household politically/government affiliated individual are all part of the royal house and share the same “bloodline” and also control/have connections in other countries like Russia/Germany/Italy/England/etc...
They put on “a show” for the general public through the media to make it appear as if there are “issues,” to create chaos in the public, so no one catches on to the reality, which is they a connected family line living in different countries that work together behind the scenes and create problems to mislead to further their own gain. Occasionally, one of the families may become more selfish and double-cross their other family members, but that’s a different story...
Ever wonder why celebrities and Royals have strange or repeating names? Above is why. Conveniently, the last names came be changed through marriage (or even a 2nd/3rd identity) to cover their tracks. 

“ Carl Heinrich von Siemens (often just Carl von Siemens) (3 March 1829 – 21 March 1906).
In 1853, Carl Siemens traveled to St. Petersburg where he established the branch office of his brothers company Siemens & Halske. Siemens had a contract for constructing the Russian telegraph network at the time.
Carl went to England in 1869, where he assisted his brother William. In the 1880s, he returned to Russia before he became the senior chief executive of Siemens & Halske after the death of his brother Werner in 1892. He resigned in 1904. For his service to Russia, he was ennobled by Tsar Nicholas II in 1895.”
Clearly, Siemens, a company headquartered in Germany, but established worldwide, has deep connections with Russia concerning many businesses including power (electricity), communication network, and industrial side...and on top of that the American Bush family has their hands in it, so one could only come to the conclusion every problem ever created is a lie...
Why? It is simply a power struggle between the 5 original Rothschild/Royal families that established themselves worldwide a long time ago. From that point forward they branched out, married their family members from the other countries (to keep the money in family and grow simultaneously).
Eventually we are in today’s time, and they all have different last names and have grown so large you can barley tell them apart. They purposefully “cover” their tracks they best they can...
Trump is also related to the Royals. Near the bottom is more information.

I believe Simon Property Group, Inc./Ltd. to be Donald Trump’s ‘The Trump Organization.’
According to Wikipedia, “The Trump Organization is a group of about 500 business entities of which Donald Trump owns. About 250 of these entities use the Trump name.”
That means the other 250 are “under a different name,” Simon Property group perhaps...the Trumps sure do love real estate and investments and Simon Property group sure seems to have a very similar history to the Trump tower almost as though they are the same business just divided into 2 separately names business to confuse you. I honestly can’t blame you...🏥💰☸️ Where’s Simon? Hello 👋 Simon, I know exactly who you are, I found you! ⚖️
“The organization was founded in 1923 by Donald Trump's grandmother, Elizabeth Christ Trump, and his father, Fred Trump, as E. Trump & Son. Donald Trump began leading it in 1971, renamed it around 1973, and handed off its leadership to his children in 2017.”

Berkshire Hathaway (founded by Oliver Chase—important! His family relations connect to the others! This same concept applies to any other families/companies mentioned), is currently run by CEO Warren E. Buffett, Charles T. Munger and AJit Jain
According to Wikipedia, “Berkshire now owns a diverse range of businesses including confectionery, retail, railroads, home furnishings, encyclopedias, manufacturers of vacuum cleaners, jewelry sales, manufacture and distribution of uniforms, and several regional electric and gas utilities.”
I want to point out just like the Trump Organization, Semens, and Simons, Berkshire is involved in investments including investments, property, and real estate!!!! Tisk, Tisk, Tisk...
On top of that the company messes with jewels...that can only come from place, the the blood diamond mines or other types of mines (salt/oil/metals/precious stones/etc...) $$$$$ 🙂🙃😉
He also owns a large part of the railroad system (transportation/ports— also used for sex/drug trafficking/transporting goods/etc.) that Berkshire Hathaway owns.
🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿
Let not forget Bill Gates! He owns the American/Canadian railway and when Warren Buffett dies, everything that Warren owns aka Berkshire Hathaway and its companies and railroads will ALL be donated to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, giving them control over all the major railways within the US and control over almost all the major businesses and products we buy everyday.
Sounds like a monopoly to me, but whatever, it’s almost kinda amazing how all you guys worked together to create this misleading, heading in the wrong direction “empire”...
🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸
Whomever is reading this and this goes for ANYONE, if you truly want to change how the world works find and hold every individual accountable for their actions that are connected to the hypothetical laws and business empire they have created and yes it’s hypothetically, interpretation and perception of the laws is important... lawyers do it all the time... EVERYONE has a choice, the majority of Individuals “support” the system ONLY, because that’s all they’ve ever known.. since birth it gets ingrained into your head.
Psychology/reverse psychology and the mind is quite a powerful tool that can be easily manipulated, if you understand it that is...
But ultimately, you only have one life and it’s quite fucked to be living on the “Earth Prison” that the whole population is responsible for creating in today’s world. Like wtf? You can’t do anything anymore, fuck that! And yes, it’s equally everyone’s fault. The Elites for creating this “chaotic prison world” to further their plans that fit their needs only... and the rest of Earth’s general population who follows every word you say, like the good dogs they are. I’m sorry, but it’s true... and that’s why they should not be held accountable, unless of course someone “chooses” to take it into their own hands for whatever reason they have..I’m sure once the full truth is finally revealed many individuals will be shocked and very angry... who knows where that may lead, some won’t care, and others knew it was coming all along...
The golden rule, “Treat others, how you would want to be treated.”
The US constitution is unconstitutional. I stand by this.It does not define what it specifically means by “principle.” Aka it’s values. It merely states the individual principles as a whole aka “our bill of rights” and defines laws under them, but not once defines, what specific “principle” they ment... this means I can interpret it how I like, regardless of how many laws there are, bc they did not specify which definition of the word “principles” they meant. It can have several definitions and meanings, so how do I know how to properly interpret it? It doesn’t specify.... It’s all an “act” just like all the “bills” they write... What would the puppet show be without it right?
Listed below is how the hypothetically true “money/drug/sex-traffic/electricty, water, land, and other laundering businesses” are connected.
I have thought about this for a very long time, I have studied them, and put myself if their shoes...I try to be as fair as possible, though the families and companies listed below are all connected (marriage/2nd identity bc of incest and/or trying to hide, what the publicly traded companies really are [Fortune 500, for example] that everyone [general public] supports by working foin/or against the system.
Yes, some of these individuals are guilty of horrendous crimes including mass genocide, but that’s okay, I’ve decided, as long as they break their evil system down and convert it into a positive system that truly works in favor of the people instead of Exploiting the whole world and storing children and animals in shipping containers? Like wtf is that shit? Are you not ashamed of yourselves? Is greed worth it? A black soul and heart... I am the soul collector and I am coming for you! Neither good nor bad, I hear the screams I hear the prayers and the rituals, I hear the true desires...And yes, I am fully aware you know that I know... so here is my reply. And don’t get me wrong if anyone else has a valid reason as to how you harmed them,and they decide to come for you, remember it’s their choice and it was also your choice to harm them in whatever way...the golden rule, I say!
I hope whomever is part of this... I can teach you, to convert the negative into positive... I have many plans to share...
I understand the structure and something or someone will always be greater and it’s equal will always be the lesser. They are the same just a different perspective... The structure needs to be turned inside out and needs to be rearranged.
Everyone and Everything can easily be categorized. In simple terms this is what Algorithms are. I call it the chaotic pattern...The Alpha algorithm or what I’m assuming is the main quantum computer that combines the ALL separate individuals’ data on Earth (mini algorithm), information everyone freely gives out everyday without thinking twice about it, into a super algorithm that could potentially “predict” the future and make “plans” based on all this knowledge and data collected as to how humans behave, what they buy, live, etc.. into a nice chart that could potentially be followed...
I understand that most of were born into this pre-established family business and were breed to continue the traditions... it’s normal that’s just how it’s always been... That’s why your family is not necessarily guilty even though at the same time you are, bc you kept pushing the agenda knowing what was really happening behind the scenes.
I guess everyone part of your family or any of the associated business owned by many individuals are lucky that they are not stuck in shipping containers, sex trafficking, 🩸 Diamond mines, drugs, laundering, etc.... imagine being on the opposite end of the spectrum...
Why not use your power and money for the light good instead of the shadow of evil. Negative energy collects and feeds in ways that you don’t for-see.
I see the whole spectrum even the electro-magnetic frequency rays force behind it all. Adam the first living universal Atom spark that created the universes lives within me... I see everything on the spectrum. It’s a blessing and a curse. The  fibonacci curse and the curse of 3s... I see ALL the forms of 3s.
Below are questionable companies responsible for horrendous crimes and individuals who are connected to one another usually by marriage or birth... All the information below stems from different Wikipedia sites (sources). There are many more companies and people involved I did not mention. But I see you Simpsons, Burns, i see who Hitler really was it’s not like he is really someone’s father...🙃, Stewie, and so many others 🧐 I see you ALL!!!! Hello Rothschilds! I’ve studied your family tree extensively, I see all the different names used for the same people to hide the incest. You should be proud, without it, you could have never built this empire.
I would bet your whole kingdom that, I share your bloodline, I too am from Rheinland-Pfalz, marked the female bear born on the half moon 🌓 I truly miss it, but bc of your “vaccine plan” I probably will never be able to travel there again, since I do not trust a vaccine whose long-term effects are not known.
It’s not like the military gave my dad a shot that gave him progressive supranuclear palzy years later, he’s the youngest person to ever “get this disease” in the world...they studied him at Harvard. I don’t trust it. Why would I? It destroyed his life! From the bottom of my heart, whomever is responsible for giving all the soldiers shots containing different diseases in the 80s and early 90s, FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! That’s why I hate the world system so much and refuse to support it.

Amschel Moses Rothschild was born in about 1710. He was a German Jewish silk trader and money changer in the Judengasse (Jewstreet) in Frankfurt. Around 1743 he placed a red hexagram sign (which numerically and geometrically convert into the number 666) above the entrance of his door. His house was also red in color.
Within two centuries, the Rothschild, instructed this hexagram sign to be made part of the Israeli flag 🇮🇱. He had 8 children with Schönche Lechnich, one of his sons, Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), is the founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty. He marries Guttle SchnappeSchönche Lechnich (Rothschild) in 1770, and they have 10 children together.
In 1776, Mayer Amschel Rothschild creates the Illuminati and hands over the organizations development to Adam Weishaupt. Weishaupt sneaks in the Continental Order of Freemasons with this Illuminati doctrine. This doctrine claims a new order for the human race under the dictatorship of Satan and his supporters. This view is accepted and spread like a wildfire and is pursued in Masonic Lodges worldwide to this day.
In 1777, Nathan Mayer Rothschild is born, who is followed by Kalmann (Carl) Mayer Rothschild/Carl Mayer Freiherr von Rothschild in 1788. Carl is the founder of the Rothschild banking family of Naples. He had child named Adolf Carl....
Edmond James de Rothschild (Baron Abraham Edmond Benjamin James de Rothschild) has a son named Maurice de Rothschild. (Notice the name “Baron”...).
Adolf Hitler is really Maurice de Rothschild with fake beard and hair piece and carries out his father’s (Edmond James de Rothschild) work. Since the war caused a sugar shortage, Maurice would have also been the candy man aka Willy Wonka with his Cain top hat 🎩
Adolf HitleMaurice de Rothschild also has another name, which I believe to be Fred Trump, making trump his son... The pictures look to comparable... Anne (Anna), Mary, Maria, and Christ seems to be a shared motherly name between the Rothschild family history, Trumps, and Hitler.... (if you look up hitlers mom, it’s clearly a fake-photoshopped image). Also notice Trump’s youngest son is named “Barren.”
One must remember it is very easy to put misinformation out there, that includes changing names/birthdays/ and “events” that happened in their lives. Usually the birthdays are around the same years or don’t fully mention the full birthday for one individual, a lot of names also seem to repeat, which could be considered another clue towards the truth.

What if Jim Benning offers Chris Tanev a contract extension? (In-Depth Analysis)

Intro

After seeing Chris Tanev's agent come out and say Tanev wants to stay in Vancouver, I wanted to write a piece on what a potential new contract for Chris Tanev would actually look like. Based on the Canucks current salary cap implications, re-signing him just doesn't seem like the forthcoming future a magic-8 ball would shake out in Jim Benning's hand, but it's not entirely improbable.
So, I questioned what a potential contract would look like—and I was going to make a tiny prediction with no basis in the comments of a thread—but instead I decided to look into the statistics of Tanev's previous contract, his current and previous production, and off-the-ice intangibles, and here we are!
TL;DR AT THE BOTTOM I completely get it. It's kind of long, but if you're into it, awesome!

Tanev May Not Get A Raise

Hear me out. When Tanev signed his 5 year $22.25MM contract (4.45MM Cap Hit) with the Canucks, the cap percentage was roughly 6.45%. In today's NHL, with a Salary Cap at $81.5 Million, a 6.45% cap percentage would be equivalent to a $5.25MM cap hit.
Was a healthy Tanev for the past 3 seasons worth that kind of cap percentage? Absolutely, but I think we all know his injury history hurt his dollar value and moreso his trade value. In my opinion, he has to be worth less than his healthy value—especially after we signed Myers to a 5-year $30MM contract—it's just not feasible.

Does a true comparable of Tanev even Exist?

I don't think one really does. With the precedent that Tanev has right now, he's a defenseman who misses 20+ games a year throughout his entire contract, yet he—knock on wood—hasn't missed a game all season and we just passed the halfway point of the season.
It's unfortunate, but a smart gambler would consider this productivity more of an anomaly. Therefore, you've got to think short–medium term for his length and a smaller cap percentage relative to what a full season of production would look like.

NHL Comparables

Since we don't have an actual "Tanev baseline" for that, here are a few NHL comparable defenseman (mostly RHD) that have similar stats, are deployed in a similar role, and signed contracts at or near Chris Tanev's current age.
*Note: These players signed 3-year deals which matches a similar term length that I would argue Tanev deserves.
Quick Summary: Anton Strålman has consistently been known as a solid defenseman in his own zone, who has the capability to slot up and down the lineup. He has a great outlet pass and he has a fair amount of power play time. Surprisingly, with Tampa Bay he only starts 51% of his shifts in the defensive zone. For someone usually referenced for their defensive play, it's a low amount compared to the others on this list.
Purely looking at his stats, Strålman, has consistently been healthy for almost all of his career and he's usually good for 20–40 points per season. Over the past 6 seasons, Strålman logs 20:00 TOI per game played, which equates to a low-end top pair RHD or high-end 2nd Pair D.
I'll stop there because I think he has more offensive upside than Chris Tanev just based on his zone deployment and point production. Stralman's Cap Hit is heftier because of it. I also don't think his 3-Year age gap from Tanev played as big of a role in his contract as some may think. Consistently being healthy usually equates to more dollars when you're talented. I'll break it down with Tanev's stats, but it should be pretty clear that Tanev shouldn't really get a contract anywhere close to stralman's cap percentage, which would be around the $5.63MM range if the salary cap rises by $2MM next year.
Quick Summary: Ian Cole is a name that infrequently pops up. For a proper defensive defenseman, that's a good thing. He is a great comparison to what a healthy Tanev would look like statistically. In the past 3 Seasons, Ian Cole starts close to 55% of his shifts in the defensive zone. Like Tanev, Cole is capable of blocking shots. Last season he blocked 178 and he's on pace to block 172 this season. Furthermore, he gets little-to-none TOI for the Power Play and he has ranged from 1:45-3:17 for PK TOI/GP in the past 3 Seasons.
Ian Cole currently has a similar cap hit as Chris Tanev ($4.25MM). It's a justifiable amount to pay for a defensive dominant top-4 defenseman.
That said, Ian Cole is a LHD, and they typically have less market value than a comparable RHD, and his role appears to be similar to Tanev. That said, I still think Ian Cole is worth more, and once again it's strictly due to health.
Quick Summary: In 2015-16 Michael Stone had a career high year with 75GP and a statline of 6G 30A on The Coyotes. The following season, he was traded near the deadline to Calgary after falling off on his previous points totals, and he never really came close to that afterwards.
That said, with Calgary, Stone was originally deployed in the defensive zone for 57% of his starts and he logged an Avg TOI of 18:51. He blocked 143 shots that year and although I can't find his PK TOI for that season, he averaged 2:27/GP the following season. This pretty much equates to a defensive minded Top-4 RHD. So, his contract—had—some sense to it.
Since then, Michael Stone has fallen off a cliff, but he still got his 3-year contract at 4.67% of the salary cap based on a combination of previous performance, age (3-years younger than Tanev now), and potential. He was bought out on August 1st, 2019 by Calgary, because he was underperforming and Calgary altered his deployment. Given what his role was before his 3-year contract, his actual cap hit was fairly low, and it's likely due to the modified-ntc being thrown in to the deal. I think Stone's contract is a good baseline for what a Tanev contract could look like, primarily because the modified-NTC format is one I could see the Canucks presenting to Tanev and his agent. Let's break down Chris Tanev.
Quick Summary: I think we all have a general understanding of Tanev's value, so I'll try to keep it brief and jump to the number crunching.

Number Crunching

Tanev is an excellent Top-4 Defensive Defenseman when he's healthy, and we're starting to see that this year. He's played a full season up to this point and he's on pace to break his highest season's point totals. Besides Alex Edler, Tanev is our longest tenured Canuck and he brings leadership qualities into the locker room (wears an A), so off the ice he means something to the club. GM JB definitely values those types of intangibles and it's been seen before with higher than expected contracts for players like Erik Gudbranson & Brandon Sutter. That said, Tanev has probably hit his peak, and the two people mentioned before had potential to develop into better players, so I don't think Benning would bank on growth with Tanev.
The fact that Tanev has played a full season up to this point is fantastic. In the prior 3-Seasons, he has missed 29, 40, and 27 games. At least for the Vancouver Canucks, health will play a role in his contract value, and I truthfully see this season as more of an anomaly then a pattern of change.
Now, looking at his defensive stats over the past 4 seasons, Tanev starts 55-62% of his shifts in the defensive zone. He hovers between 19:45-20:30 minutes of TOI per game, which is roughly equivalent to a solid 2nd/3rd defenseman on most teams, and he kills penalties at an elite rate. He is well over 3:00 TOI/GP just on the penalty kill over the past 3 seasons with the highest total coming from this year. He's still blocking shots at a great rate and he rarely takes penalties.
Now, if you're GMJB and you're re-signing Tanev. What will his role be over the next 3 seasons?
My projection would be a Top-4 option on the right side for at least the first 2 years. It's a safe bet to estimate that Tanev won't drastically decline. Defensive Defenseman tend to be more consistent, but they can falter (Michael Stone).
Using the comparisons from earlier, I think Strålman's percentage of the cap (6.47%) would be far higher than what Tanev should get. Michael Stone's (4.67%) is a good baseline, but Tanev has always had a higher pedigree in every way other than health. Ian Cole's cap percentage (5.35%) is an amount I think Tanev's agent would take on a 3-year deal (4.36M Cap Hit), but I don't think the Canucks want to pay that much, especially with who they need to sign long-term (Pettersson, Hughes, Markstrom, Virtanen). Furthermore, Cole puts up slightly more points per game and he plays closer to 85% of a season versus Tanev's ~67-70%. I think the Canucks will offer another modified-NTC for Tanev in his 3-year deal and that should be worth atleast a .25% discount (% of cap hit) on a fair deal. Health consistency will also decrease Tanev's cap percentage.
The only other thing I will factor in is next year's salary cap, and to be quick, let's say it's a $2M increase to $83.5MM. So, with all that said, this is what I project Tanev's contract to look like:
3yrs 12.4MM with a modified-NTC (8-team No Trade List) for all 3-years, which was the same as his previous contract. A 4.13MM Cap Hit which is 4.95% of Cap at signing.

Conclusion

A contract like this puts Tanev in a healthy spot in-between Michael Stone and Ian Cole's salary cap percentage at signing. It's a decent medium term contract that pays similar to his previous contract and it could even be front loaded to feel more like a raise at the time of signing (i.e. Year 1= 5.0MM, Year 2 = 4.5MM, Year 3 = 2.9MM).
The only question that's left to unpack is whether the Canucks will even offer Tanev a contract extension. I think they would be fools not to...
Given the Canucks current salary cap implications; If Jim Benning offered Chris Tanev this contract it should only come down to a choice between a fair offer and a chance at a free agency bidding war that the Canucks certainly won't partake in.
Thanks for reading!

TL;DR

3yrs 12.4MM with a modified-NTC (8-team No Trade List) for all 3-years, which was the same as his previous contract. A 4.13MM Cap Hit which is 4.95% of Cap at signing.

Ice Hockey Betting Strategy

Hockey betting strategy Total under.
This ice hockey betting strategy also applies to live events and more suitable for KHL matches (Continental Hockey League). The fact that bookmakers offer main pucks total on 4.5 precisely to KHL games.
The main total is the total value at which the odds on undeover is approximately equal. If for NHL this value is usually equal to 5.5, then for KHL 4.5 is typical.
Under the terms of this strategy, we need to track the first 3-8 minutes of a selected meeting and wait for a quick puck from one of the rivals. As soon as such a puck is scored – the odd on TU 4.5 would rise to 2.2-2.5. Accordingly, we just need to bet on such an attractive offer.
The effectiveness of this hockey betting strategy is explained by the fact that a quick puck in hockey is not a guarantee that the match will include a lot of goals scored. Most likely, the team that missed a puck won’t run immediately to recoup, realizing that the whole game is still ahead.
Today I have seen a website in google search when i was searching for ice hockey predictions. I was shocked that they provide many secure predictions.

Welcome to South App #4: "Outside 101"

Monday, August 17th, 2020
Winston Beavers was having a very bad day.
It all began at 5 AM when his phone alarm vibrated. He rolled over on his belly and silenced it before it could wake Tai. It was the first day of class, but Winston wasn’t rising early to drink coffee and read the student newspaper. Instead, he grabbed his trusty silk tie and used it to hang his tablet from the sprinkler head. He slipped his headphones on, booted up some porn, and got straight down to business with both hands.
Now his contraption was holding on by faith and faith alone. But Winston paid no mind. He listened to Irish redheads moaning in his ear while he arched his back and curled his toes. And with each passing second, the weight of the tablet began to wear on the old, rusty sprinkler head.
So, when Winston exploded, so did that sprinkler head.
“Fuck!” Winston yelled, choking on a mouthful of rusty water. He tumbled off the top bunk, landing square on his ass. He scrambled to his feet, grabbed a binder from his desk, and rushed out the room - slipping on the puddle on his way out. Tai was already in the hallway, naked and wrapped in a wet blanket.
“What the hell, asshole?!” Tai blurted out, shivering with his laptop and backpack in each hand. “I told you not to jerk off like that!”
“Save your breath, partner,” Winston reassured him. “This here binder is the only important thing in that goddamn room.”
As water seeped into the hallway, Winston reckoned his luck had finally run out. Earlier this week, the Asheville PD had informed him that his prized Single Action Army was nowhere to be found in evidence. But he still had his precious binder, with the letters BDE inscribed on the spine. And when the water was finally shut off, Winston stuffed the binder back in his desk and made Tai pinky swear to keep it a secret.
***
A few hours later, Tai sat on the sofa in a local Asheville coffee shop with a drink and a bible in front of him.
“As your wing-woman, I shall provide some friendly reminders!” Gigi cheerfully told Tai over the phone. “Make sure you’re facing the door so you can see when he comes in. Oh, and remember the order of operations: turn a page, sip your drink, make eye contact. Turn, sip, eyes!”
“Uh, are you sure you know what you’re doing?” Tai whispered, as sleepy, hungover students filed in.
“I’m setting you up on an impromptu date on a Monday morning, am I not?”
“And have you run this strategy by amateur wingman extraordinaire Winston Beavers?”
Gigi paused. “Winston and I are...no longer on speaking terms. Sorry! I do not consent to any conversation about the aforementioned obnoxious brute whatsoever. Good luck!”
Gigi hung up. So Tai, who had never touched a bible, flipped to Ephesians like Gigi had coached him before. In fact, she’d planned out everything down to the last detail: the NIV version of the bible, the iced caramel macchiato, and the red and white checkerboard Vans he wore.
But Tai’s mind wandered to a more interesting book that he also had not yet read. He wanted to know what the hell was in Winston’s binder.
Suddenly, Jacky California walked into the cafe. Showtime. His 7:30 coffee break was expected. (Gigi found Jacky’s schedule on Facebook, and a quick visit to this cafe before 8 AM Intermediate Spanish just made sense.) Check. Turn, sip, eyes. Jacky waited in line, wearing a slim-fit red Abercrombie polo, bleached holy jeans, and his prized red and white checkerboard Vans. And his shoe decision, yet again, was also expected. (Gigi discovered that Jacky had only two classes on Monday, influencing his choice in that comfy pair of shoes that he wore in his profile pic). Check. Turn, sip, eyes. When Jacky stepped up to the counter, he ordered an iced caramel macchiato. And, once again, Gigi predicted this move. (Whatever the weather, Jacky’s SoCal roots virtually guaranteed an icy, watered-down coffee approach. Not to mention, nobody drinks hot coffee after sitting in the tanning bed for 30 minutes. Which, according to Gigi’s sleuthing, Jacky partook in every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.) Check. Turn, sip, eyes. Finally, while waiting for his order, Jacky pulled out his NIV study bible and flipped to the Book of Acts. (This time, Gigi was only partially off-base. His Facebook modeling photos were actually captioned with Ephesians bible verses. Nothing a quick fix couldn’t remedy). So Tai flipped straight to Acts, took a long sip of his macchiato, and made direct eye contact with Jacky as he walked over.
“Bro, this is freakin’ gnarly!” Jacky said in disbelief, pointing out their matching shoes, bible, and drink. “This is some righteous Revelation-level prophecy if I’ve ever seen it. Hey, my name’s Jacky. Is this seat ocupado?”
***
“Oh no!” Claire exclaimed, stroking Winston's fuzzy beard. “I’m, like, totally sorry about my stud’s mishap this morning!”
“Thank ya, peach pie,” Winston said, shaking his head. “I reckon they’ll move my ass to the broom closet and hang me out to dry.”
Claire and Winston were sitting in the Rec Center courtyard in athletic gear, along with several other hungover students. This was the Outdoors Adventures Seminar, AKA “Outside 101.” For many, it was a breezy way to snag the required Health and Fitness credit hour. And that's exactly why Gigi and Frank were also in this class. They sat on the opposite side of the courtyard, quietly gossipping and shooting the occasional glance their way.
“Your friends over there are, like, totally ignoring us!” Claire piped up, tugging Winston’s sleeve. “That’s, like, so rude.”
“Don’t trouble yourself, puddin’ muffin. They just ain’t ready for us yet.”
“And, like, oh my God! Ryan flat-out told me those are, like, the two people who broke into the frat house and blew up his daddy’s ashes! They are, like, total thugs. Ew!”
“Ah, my sister explained to me that it was a big misunderstanding, bundt cake,” Winston replied, feigning interest.
“Well, you should totally talk some sense to that Asian friend of yours, or else this class is gonna be, like, hella awkward,” Claire suggested. “She has, like, a salt and vinegar chip on her shoulder! It’s, like, totally not my fault that I can pull off a sports bra while she’s wearing those baggy clothes!”
True enough, Gigi and Frank had been giving them the cold shoulder ever since the frat house raid. For Frank, this was because of Winston’s affiliation with Claire Dansby and the notorious fraternity she represented. As for Gigi, it was more simple and personal: the lap dance.
“Ahoy, ladies and germs!” greeted the rugged Australian instructor, decked out in bushman’s gear. “My name is Angus, and I want to welcome ya to Outside 101. While you shop different classes, I indeed hope you’ll choose to spend your semester with us. Today is the Gauntlet Challenge, where we’ll break off into groups and compete for a mighty fine prize!”
With that, Angus hurled an ax at a target behind the students. Bullseye. Everyone stood up to clap and cheer. “Now, everybody come up front and grab yourselves a fine ole’ nametag so we know who you are!”
Winston sprung up and headed for the front of the line. Gigi stood with her back to him, her long black hair draping over her Under Armor tank top. He cleared his throat. “Howdy. Looks like we’re gonna be getting a workout in today. So hey, can I have a word with ya in private?”
She spun around, showing him a forced smile. “I’m sorry, sir. I don’t consent to this conversation.”
With that, she grabbed a nametag and wrote “Gigi.” Winston cocked his head. “So, I seem to recall Sarah telling me that you’ve got a South Korean name that only your father calls you.”
“Ah, but what’s in a name anywho?” pondered Frank, stepping forward. “Sir Winston, I wish to extend a sincere congratulations to your acceptance into the Beta Delta Epsilon Sausage Club. And to that brazen bull of a woman under your thumb. Alas, a braver man than me are you!”
Gigi narrowed her eyes at Winston. “You don’t know my real name?” she stated matter-of-factly. “Do you even know me at all?”
Frank and Gigi walked back to their seat. The hair stood up on the back of Winston’s neck. But before he could retort, two late students entered the courtyard.
“Hey, what’s up dudes and dudettes?” Jacky greeted casually. “Sorry we’re late. We couldn’t find the-"
“Hellooo everyone!” Tai greeted the class flamboyantly. “Jacky-boy, I hope you’re ready for a totally fabulous time! Ready to sweat? Oh, will you look at the sports bra on that blonde gal over here! Looks like Victoria can’t keep her secret for long. Am I right, Tai? Hey, boo-boo! Yes, you in the sports bra. You are killing it!”
Claire giggled, thanking Tai. But he and Jacky wound up sitting next to Gigi and Frank instead, introducing each other. Winston watched from afar, shaking his head. So this is how my roommate acts when he’s no longer single, he thought. Then, when no one was watching, Winston reached into his pocket and pulled out a 20-dollar bill.
“Oi, Steve Irwin,” Winston whispered to Angus, slipping him the money. “I need ya to put me and my friends together in a group.”
Winston pointed out his four friends, scribbled “BAMF” on a nametag, and walked confidently back to his seat. Then, when Gigi was watching, he gave Claire a sloppy, wet kiss.
***
“First elimination challenge is ax throwing!” Angus announced, behind the wheel of a Volkswagen VW bus. “The world’s second-oldest profession.”
Per request, Angus had formed a group out of Winston, Claire, Frank, Gigi, Tai, and Jacky. Now, he was driving them to a deserted field at the base of Mount Pisgah in the Asheville wilderness. Once they arrived, he set up a huge wooden target, then tossed Winston an ax.
“Now you look like a bloke who’s done this before!” Angus remarked.
“Hell, my daddy had to put a lock on the shed,” Winston bragged.
“Winston is, like, totally a wild man when it comes to the outdoors!” Claire chimed in. “I’m, like, super-stoked for him to totally man-handle me in the bedroom.”
The other four cringed at each other. Then, Winston reared back and hurled the ax with two hands, hitting a large ring.
“Three points!” Angus called out. “Claire, think you can conquer this beast?”
Claire stepped forward and grabbed an ax. As a former high school cheerleader, she hid some muscles under her small frame. But what surprised everybody was how she tossed hers one-handed. She hit an inner ring: a five-pointer.
“This, like, ain’t my first rodeo, cowboy!” Claire teased. She brazenly grabbed another ax and under-handed it to Gigi. She yelped, but Frank stepped in and caught it.
“My stars!” he said to Claire. “A woman so supple, yet so brazen around the edges. A fine mistress you doth make!”
Winston walked over to Gigi and gave her a puzzled look. “In the words of Richard III,” he began. “It looks Frank would trade his kingdom for a whore.”
“Um...since when have you started dabbling in Old English plays?” Gigi asked, a bit uneasy.
“Looks like you don’t know me much at all yourself.”
Gigi blushed, either enraged or embarrassed. She left him to stand next to her boyfriend. Then, Frank performed a one-handed throw, landing an inner ring.
“Five points for Shakespeare!” Angus cheered. “Let’s see if Miss Hathaway can cut the mustard.”
Before Frank handed Gigi the ax, she was already tense. He helped her hold it with two hands in a beginner’s stance. “But soft!” he said, as Gigi took aim. “Plant it straight in the heart! Just like I shall soon plant my seed in your womb.”
Flustered and distracted, she heaved the ax for an outer ring.
“Oi, only one point,” Angus declared. “Better hope our last two competitors think off target!”
Jacky grabbed an ax and faced Gigi. “Bro, your boyfriend’s a perv. And so is that chick.”
Jacky pointed straight at Claire. She giggled obnoxiously, flicking her long blonde hair. Jacky rolled his eyes. “God, please bring this lost sheep home,” he quietly prayed. He flung it from over the shoulder, missing the target completely.
“Ah, I can tell you’re fancy a boomerang by the way you throw that bugger!” Angus chuckled. “Our first elimination. Last one, come on down!”
Before Tai could grab his ax, Gigi pulled him aside. “Um, as your fellow wing-woman,” she started, “I suggest you launch the caveman hunting apparatus into the margins for the express purpose of aborting and creating a more intimate scenario with your beloved wave rider.”
Now Tai had grown a little closer with Gigi ever since she matched him up with Jacky. But all he could muster was a blank stare. Gigi leaned in closer. “Lose on purpose so you can be alone with him!” she hissed.
“Oh, got it,” Tai whispered back. “Hey, Gigi? Do ya think I can borrow your room for a bit? There’s no way Jacky can find out I live in a flooded swamp.”
Suddenly, Jacky’s ax boomerang came twirling back around, heading straight for Tai. He jumped to the side with a shriek, watching the ax fly into a tree. “Righteous!” Jacky cheered, running back to fetch it. So with that in mind, Tai took aim and tossed his ax boomerang-style. As intended, it went flying far and wide past the target.
“And Tai and Jacky have been eliminated!” Angus declared. “That means the rest of ya advance to our next challenge. And an impressive performance from the blonde bombshell and Italian stallion, I might add.”
Claire walked up to Frank and slapped his ass. “Looks like we pervs, like, totally got it going on!”
Winston and Gigi stared at each other in shock. But before they knew it, Tai’s ax boomerang came soaring back, nailing the side of Angus’ Volkswagen.
***
“FIX THE FUCKING AC,” growled Evelyn the RA in a low, demonic voice. “I WILL BURN THIS MOTHERFUCKER TO THE GROUND.”
In Sarah and Gigi’s room, Tai and Jacky had taken shelter from this emo demon, who was now stomping up and down the hallway. Sure enough, the AC was broken again. And after Tai had escorted Jacky up seven flights of stairs to “his” room, they’d found it virtually impossible to stop sweating.
“So let’s dive into Genesis 5 where we left off,” Jacky suggested, as they sat together on the futon. “It’s a little gnarly since it’s all genealogy. We’ll have to quiz each other when we’re done so we make sure we got it down pat!”
Jacky cracked open the bible, just as Evelyn screamed from the hallway. They rushed to the door and peeked out. Evelyn had let down her jet-black hair and had smeared mascara on her, sweating pale face. She locked eyes with the two young men. “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?” the demon within her tremored.
They quickly shut the door and got back to their bible study. “Well...anyway, this is the written account of Adam’s family line,” Jacky read. “Basically, this is gonna be a righteous heck-ton of funky names to remember. My youth pastor showed me an easy way to memorize them, where-”
Death metal blared in the hallway. Over the heavy muted guitar and the rapid-fire double bass, Evelyn released a primal roar.
“So yeah, an easy way to memorize the names is word association!” the sweating Jacky yelled over the screeching guitar solo. “For example, take Adam and Seth, who-”
“EVERYBODY BREAK SHIT,” Evelyn screamed, as the deafening breakdown began. Tai rushed to the door and peeked out again. This time, she was breaking off a long fluorescent light tube from the ceiling. Several of her female hallmates observed like visitors at a zoo. Evelyn reared back and smashed the wall, shattering the light into pieces.
“All right, bro,” Jacky finally sighed, shutting the bible and standing up. “Look, let’s just go to your actual room.”
“W-what?” Tai stuttered, closing the door.
“Come on brochacho,” Jacky said, slicking back his long blonde hair. “You think I didn’t catch on? There are the female girls in the hallway with the female devil incarnate. Not to mention the…dreadful taste in bedroom decor in whoever’s room this is. Come on, man. I wanna see the real you.”
They stared into each other's' cool grey eyes. Finally, Tai nodded and reached out to shake on it. Instead, Jacky held his hand and interlocked his fingers. They sneaked out into the hallway, and Jacky led the way to Tai’s room.
“H-how do you know where we’re going?” Tai asked.
“I’m your mailman,” Jacky answered, giving his hand a squeeze. “I know a lot more about you than you think. Heck, don’t even get me started on your roommate’s male enhancement subscription.”
As they descended the stairs, a herd of female students tried to restrain the spawn of Satan in the hall.
***
“Next up is the zip-line races!” Angus announced.
He drove the four competitors deep into the Pisgah National Forest with the ax still lodged in the van. He slowed to a stop in a green, tranquil meadow where sunlight peeked through the treetops. There, two huge zip-lines ran from the tops of starting platforms, all the way to a platform on the far side of the clearing.
Angus passed out a few safety harnesses, and everyone suited up. “Mine’s, like, a little too big!” Claire whined. “Gigi, you should totally trade with me since you have a tad more cushion for the pushin’! Hey, at least your boobs are smaller than mine! That, like, must be so convenient.”
Gigi ignored her, hooking herself to the lane behind Winston. Claire attached herself to the lane behind Frank. And Angus began the long walk toward the finish line platform. Now out of earshot, both groups began climbing the long rope ladders up to their platforms. Winston purposefully took his time. Halfway up the ladder, Winston stopped and looked down at Gigi.
“Hey, I know I’m being stubborn,” Winston said. “But I really wanna talk to you, if you’ll have me. Just give me a chance to explain-"
“She’s a total bitch!” Gigi hissed, surprising even herself. “If you’re dating her, we’re no longer friends.”
Frustrated and torn, Winston sighed. “Right. I reckon actions speak louder than words anyway.” He reached into his shorts pocket and pulled out a mini can of WD-40. Then, he proceeded to spray the shit out of both of their zip-line hooks.
“W-what the hell is wrong with you?” Gigi exclaimed, choking on the fumes.
“WD-40 is God’s lubricant,” Winston explained. “Now we’ll have a little speed boost when we race ‘em. Sorry, buddy, but I need us both to win so we have some alone time to sort things out.”
“You’re being absolutely ridiculous!” Gigi said, flabbergasted.
“I realize that. So I reckon I’ll make you an offer. When it’s me versus you at the finals, I’ll let you win so you get the Lazy Basil gift card. Deal?”
Suddenly, Gigi’s big, brown eyes shot open and her countenance sang a different tune. Lazy Basil was the finest Italian restaurant in all of Asheville - maybe all of North Carolina. And Frank would not be cooking her an Italian dinner until this Friday. After tasting a little bit of chocolate every day to prepare her body for cheese, she could not wait a day longer.
“Pray tell!” Frank suddenly yelled, looking down from his platform at the stragglers. “Art thou stuck on the ladder, Sir Winston? Mayhaps we require usage of a construction crane to haul up your portly frame.”
Winston grunted, then spat on the ground. “So what was that you were saying about my girlfriend being a bitch?” Winston asked Gigi.
Reaching the top of the ladder, Winston and Gigi stepped onto the platform. A perfect view of the bright green hemlock trees of the Pisgah National Forest. From the finish line platform, Angus pumped his fist. “Let’s get these wagon wheels a’rollin’!” his voice echoed across the forest. “Fellas up first!”
Winston made the mistake of looking down at the endless ocean of treetops. Stomach lurching, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, hands trembling, he moved his greased-up zip-line hook to the starting position.
Gigi tapped his shoulder. “Are you...afraid of heights?” she asked, more like a mother than a caring friend.
A sudden breeze caused their platform to sway ever-so-slightly. Winston hunched over and vomited his morning screwdriver into a nest of endangered birds. He wiped his mouth and looked up at Frank’s shit-eating grin. Winston simultaneously flicked him off while giving Angus a thumbs up.
“Ah, we’ve got ourselves a fighter!” Angus called out. “Ready. Set. Go!”
Winston and Frank kicked off their platforms, soaring over the forest. Sure enough, his WD-40 hack gave him the extra acceleration he needed. He held a clear lead over Frank as Angus’ platform grew closer and closer. Not even Frank’s Italian expletives could stop him.
“Wiiinston wins!” Angus cheered, as Winston whizzed up to the platform. And only a split-second later, Frank came in hot, landing gracefully.
“I underestimated thy aerodynamic stature!” Frank admitted. “Mayhaps I too require an uptick in fine American cuisine, say steak and potatoes?”
Back at the starting line, Gigi grabbed her hook and slid it into a starting position. She looked up at her hands, now slick with grease.
“I’m, like, totally sorry about being so rude earlier,” Claire said, making a pouting face. “Look, if you let me win, you get to leave class early with Frank, and I can have the gift card! And not to be totally awkward, but I think you could, like, have a super-hot figure without that Italian food in your diet.”
Two minutes later.
“Gigi wins!” Angus cheered, as she came careening to the finish line. A split second later, Claire came flying by - seething.
“Like, it’s totally not fair!” Claire cried, stomping her feet. “Gigi, like, totally called me a hashtag raging thundercunt! It, like-like-like-like-like, totally distracted me from the race!” Again, more crocodile tears while Claire buried her face in Winston’s shoulder.
“Woe is me!” Frank cried out, grabbing her shoulders. “Oh, the humanity! Alas, say you did no such thing!”
“There, there,” Winston said nonchalantly, patting Claire’s head like a dog. “I’m sure it ain’t that serious.”
Angus covered his mouth. “Oi, Miss Gigi: did you in fact call Lady Claire a raging thundercunt?”
Gigi politely crossed her hands in front of her waist, her messy black hair cascading over her pale face. And then: a tell-all smile.
“Well, you know we handle potty-mouths in Australia, right?” Angus asked. “We fuckin’ celebrate ‘em! And as for sore losers? We make ‘em walk the plank!”
Angus shoved Claire and Frank off the platform. They screamed until the cable pulled taut, leaving them dangling in midair.
“Congratulations, ya raging thundercunts!” Angus said to Winston and Gigi. “Now off to the finals we go. And doncha’ worry, ya blimey losers. My teaching assistant will come get ya down and give ya a comfy ride straight back to campus!”
Winston and Gigi climbed down the ladder and followed Angus out of the woods, leaving Frank and Claire as dinner for vultures. When the two were alone, Claire kicked off her tennis shoes and stretched out, showing off her flat stomach.
“I, like, always thought I had sex in every possible position!” Claire reflected. “Well, except for the Amazon position, since my fraternity forbids it. Awwwkward! But I’ve, like, totally never had sex in midair. Should we try it, Frank?”
***
It was a manic scene in the 700 Hall of Firewater. Hesitant to get the police involved, Evelyn’s roommates were in the process of summoning a Catholic priest to perform an exorcism. But she was no longer Tai and Jacky’s concern. The muffled screams, crashes, and bangs faded in the distance as the two guys entered the 300 Hall.
“We’re actually...not supposed to be here,” Tai cautioned, placing his hand on the doorknob to his room.
“How come, brotherman?” Jacky asked.
“It’s my roommate: Winston. There’s something in there that he doesn’t want me to know about. And he made me promise to not even let any visitors in our room.”
“So did he get it in writing, with a notary standing by?” Jacky joked.
“Pinky swear,” Tai corrected.
“Far out,” Jacky marveled. “That’s some next-level serious business.” Jacky chuckled, slicking his hair back. “So let me ask this about your roommate: would he rather us be in your room, or his sister’s room?”
Tai froze. Finally, he unlocked the door. “Touché.”
The mildew hit them like a freight train. The mattresses, rug, and futon cushion were all gone. Besides that, Jacky was standing in a typical college dorm. A football schedule and Megan Fox poster on Winston’s side. Video game and anime posters on Tai’s side. A dirty microwave and a mini-fridge, probably filled with light beer and leftover Chinese takeout.
Tai sat on the metal futon frame and patted the spot next to him. “So, what if we used flashcards to memorize some of those biblical names? It’s important for me to - WHAAA-!”
Jacky was frantically searching through Winston’s drawers. “Bingo, my man!” He held up the binder and read the spine. “What’s BDE anyway? Does it stand for big...uh, big-penis energy? Sounds like your roomie has some gnarly ego issues.”
Distracting himself, Tai opened the bible in his trembling hands. “So...uh...there’s Shem...Ham...and Japeth, the three sons of-”
Jacky plopped down next to Tai and opened the binder. “Dude! Do you know what this is?”
Tai looked down at pages upon pages of driver’s licenses in card sleeves. Every race, creed, and gender under the sun. And all featured photos that could pass for any young-looking 21-year-old.
Tai and Jacky had just uncovered Beta Delta Epsilon’s secret fake ID operation. Jacky searched through a few pages, and finally pulled out an ID that could pass for Tai. He removed it from the sleeve and placed it in Tai’s shaking hand. Then, he sat on his lap and held up an ID of a tan white guy with blonde hair. “I don’t wanna talk about Shem and Ham, my dude,” Jacky declared. “I wanna talk about our new legal names: Caleb and Demitri.”
“Ah, now I have an actual black guy’s name,” Tai chuckled, forcing a smirk. Suddenly, he slipped his hand up Jacky’s shirt, feeling his rock-hard abs. “I, uh...so do you want to roleplay...Caleb?”
“Not just roleplay, my dude,” Jacky whispered into Tai’s ear, nuzzling his cheek. “I want to help other people roleplay. Dude! What if we stole these fake ID’s and sold them to every underage student on campus? Think of how freaking righteous that money would be!” Tai’s heart raced as Jacky swung his legs over Tai’s waist, straddling him. Jacky ran his lips from his collarbone to his ear.
“That’s...illegal,” Tai moaned softly. “Not to mention a little ungodly.”
“Maybe so,” Jacky said, nibbling his ear. “But I follow God, not the world. Some people don’t know the difference.
“Caleb” and “Dimitri” rolled off the futon, kissing, biting, and scratching each other until the clothes flew off. And little did they know Evelyn was scouring the 300 Hall with a chef’s knife in her hand, searching for them.
***
“The grand finale!” Angus announced. “The rock climbing wall!”
Angus led Winston and Gigi to a huge rock wall on the face of the Pisgah Mountains. This time, there was no cheat code in the world that would work in Winston’s favor. While his upper-body strength toppled that of Gigi, he was simply hauling a much larger load.
“The rumors are true!” Angus chuckled. “There is a 50-dollar Lazy Basil gift card up for grabs for the first one to reach the top.”
He strapped Winston and Gigi to the climbing cables, then took a step back. The trembling Winston glanced over at the cool, confident Gigi. “It looks like it’s just me and you, buddy,” he said. “So, do ya reckon you can tell me what I can do to make things right?”
“Go, go, go!” Angus suddenly shouted.
Gigi, quick and nimble, jumped straight up and grabbed her first hold. With ease, she began traversing the wall like an orangutan. Winston chugged along, contorting his body in awkward positions just to keep from falling.
“Look, Gigi!” Winston called out. “I hate that it’s like this between us. Man, I just wanna know what I can do. Hell, you can have my purple V-neck shirt that you accidentally stole.”
No response still. She worked swiftly and calmly as she approached the halfway point. Winston caught a lucky break, catching some easy holds as he covered a few feet. But there was no way in hell he could match Gigi’s steady pace. Plus, the higher he got, the higher the screwdriver rose in his throat.
Desperate, Winston reached around with one hand and unstrapped his vest.
“Oi, what the fuck are ya doing, mate?” Angus spat from far down below. Winston slipped out of the vest and pushed it to the side. Now, he was climbing freely. Fear coursed through his veins, but so did adrenaline. He used that stress to heave himself up much faster than before. Gigi, now past the halfway point, looked down to see Winston’s pleading eyes looking up at her.
“Gigi, I’m sorry!” Winston yelled. “Look, I...I can’t honestly tell you that I’m sorry for meeting up with Claire at the house. Because I’m not. But fuck, I’m sorry you had to walk in and see it! And...I’m plum-fuckin’ sorry I didn’t consider your feelings for me at the time. I reckon that ship has sailed. But fuck, I don’t wanna lose our friendship over it, Gigi!”
Gigi smiled at Winston for the first time that day. She shut her eyes tightly, fighting to block the tears. When she opened them again, Winston’s white knuckles curled around a tough hold.
“I’m not sure how long I can hold on, partner,” Winston groaned, smiling weakly. Slowly, piss began running down his leg, trickling a long way down to the ground below. Gigi began quickly backtracking, holding her breath.
“Winston,” Gigi consoled him calmly, now by his side. “I need you...I need you to reach out and hold me. Don’t let me go.”
He took a deep breath, then wrapped his arms around Gigi’s slim waist. His legs dangled free, supported only by her. Breathing heavily, Gigi kicked off the rock facing. Slowly, they began to descend.
“My real name is Ji-hye,” she said, as they approached solid ground.
“Ji-hye,” Winston repeated, his heart pounding as he held her in a death grip. “So, uh...why did you wanna tell me that?”
“Um...because we’re friends again!” she cheered, as they reached the bottom.
But before he could release her, Angus yanked his collar and held a hunting knife to his throat. His hair and face were drenched in Winston’s piss. “Oi, I oughta gut you like a fuckin’ fish, ya blimey bastard!”
“Wait, it’s not his fault!” Gigi interjected. “Um...a yellowjacket got caught between his shirt and vest and stung him pretty bad. He’s allergic, so he had no choice but to take it off!”
Angus cocked his head, letting her words marinate like the piss in his hair. Then, a proper belly laugh. He gave Winston a shove and put the knife away. “Yellowjackets?! Why, you Americans and bonafide pussies, that’s what ya are! Oi, you wouldn’t last a second down unda!”
Angus reached in his pocket and pulled out two 50-dollar Lazy Basil gift cards. “Fuck it, take ‘em both. After all, that was a mighty impressive showing of teamwork up there!”
Winston cleared his throat and held his hand up. “Thanks for the offer, Angus. But I’m a proud conservative. And I don’t need no goddamn participation trophies.”
Gigi socked him in the stomach. “Accept the gift card or we’re no longer friends!” she hissed, salivating over her imminent cheese dream.

“YOU HAVE SOMETHING I WANT,” the demon growled in the hallway.
Evelyn slowly dragged her chef’s knife across the door of Room 309 - a knife much larger than Angus’. Tai stared out the peephole, then rushed to the futon to grab his bible.
“We need to perform an exorcism ourselves!” Tai suggested, wearing nothing but bright blue boxers with coconut patterns.
“RIghteous idea, my man!” Jacky replied, donning yellow pineapple briefs. “The word of God is an indispensable weapon during the end times that we live in!”
Tai stared out the peephole again. Now, a senile Evelyn gently tapped the door with the tip of her knife. “Hey, uh, Evelyn,” Tai called out softly. “Why don’t we comb through Genesis together? I sure could use your help in memorizing the lineage of Adam!”
“NO BIBLE. I WILL STRANGLE YOU WITH YOUR INTESTINES!”
Jacky gave a thumbs up from the frame of the futon. “See, it’s working! That’s the devil in her trying to resist. But no man, woman, or spawn of Satan could possibly resist the righteous infallible word of God!”
Tai chuckled, half-nervous and half-relieved. Then, he opened the door halfway. “Welcome to our bible study, Evelyn! So if you would have a seat on our super comfy futon, we can-"
Suddenly, Tai lept behind the door as Evelyn charged through the room with her knife held high. “DIE! DIE! DIE!” she shrieked, heading straight for Jacky. He swiftly rolled under the futon frame, as Evelyn began stabbing through it, aiming for the head.
“Fuck!” Tai screamed, frantically flipping to Genesis 5. “Um, um...let the power of Christ compel you with His holy word! Enoch begat Methuselah, and Methuselah begat Lamech, and Lamech begat Noah!”
“WHY CAN’T I HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE?” Evelyn screamed. While Jacky cowered in a fetal position, she reared back and stabbed a hole in the wall.
“Oh, Evelyyyn?” Sarah Beavers called out, stepping into the room.
Evelyn spun around to face her, tears and mascara running down her face. She dropped the knife. Then, she swiveled her head around the room, dazed and confused.
“Oh...no,” Evelyn whispered in her normal voice. “Sarah, I did something bad, didn’t I?”
“Shush, it’s all gravy,” Sarah assured her, while Tai and Jacky looked at each other in shock. “Boys, let this be a lesson to you. Envy possessed Evelyn today. Not only was she envious of your AC, but also of your totally-rad same-sex relationship.”
Tai and Jacky realized they were still half-naked, and that it was too late to hide it. Evelyn, moaning softly, crawled over to Sarah and lay her head on her lap. Then, she began playing with Sarah’s dangling dreadlocks. “Now, now - no touchy-feely of the genitals,” Sarah politely warned her. “An asexual chick like myself ain’t no lamp in a corner, ya dig?”
Then, Sarah spotted the BDE binder on Tai’s desk. Cocking her head to the side, she slowly stood up to take a closer look.
“Shit,” Tai whispered to Jacky. “What do we do?”
“We can’t let her know about our operation,” Jacky whispered back.
“So, if my inner chi serves me well,” Sarah began, flipping through the pages. “You two plan on stealing Beta Delta Epsilon's fake ID collection from Winston, in a grand scheme to sell them to underage students?”
“What in the H-E-double-hockey-sticks?” Jacky whispered to Tai. “A psychic hippie? What kind of friends are you rolling with, bro?”
“I can hear you,” Sarah advised. She sat down next to Evelyn and slipped out an ID of a brunette hipster girl with straight hair. “It’s a crying shame that Winston didn’t think to include any white girls with dreadlocks. Simple-minded if you ask me. Oh! Evelyn, I found an ID just for you. See, she looks just like the chick from The Ring.”
“I will eat your soul,” Evelyn said in her normal voice. Suddenly, she pinned Sarah down and started tickling the hell out of her.
“Wait, so you’re not mad?” Tai asked Sarah, watching Evelyn win the completely non-sexual “game.”
Sarah caught her breath from her massive tickle-fit. Then, she snapped the binder shut. “Mad? Are you high? I’m a broke college student too. As a matter of fact, if you’re going to be making crazy money, I want in on it too. Evelyn and I both want in. And nobody, I mean nobody, breathes a word of this to my brother.”
***
Nine outgoing calls. Zero incoming calls.
Gigi slipped her phone back into her purse, fighting the urge to make it 10. On that windy night, she stood in downtown Asheville in front of Lazy Basil, waiting for Frank to fall from the sky. She was dressed up in a black polka-dot maxi dress with a white bow in her hair, knowing that she would be turned away for so much as thinking about blue jeans.
She grabbed a menu and read through the appetizers. Tempura Fried Calamari? Maybe. Chunky Spinach and Artichoke Dip? Eh. And then, her big brown eyes widened when she saw it. Caprese salad: fresh buffalo mozzarella topped with local organic tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and fresh basil leaves from our herb garden.
“So he stood ya up, huh?”
Winston leaned against the streetlight in a black suit and tie. He took a final puff on his cigar, tossed it, then walked over to Gigi to read her menu. And like always, the smell of tobacco was masked by Winston’s signature sandalwood cologne.
“I can’t decide if I want the loaded macaroni and cheese,” Winston pondered, “or the fried cheese logs with marinara. Hey, ya reckon we could order one of each and share?”
Gigi wiped drool from the side of her mouth and came to her senses. “Um...wait, you’re not here for a date with Claire?”
Winston took out his phone and showed her the screen. Sixty-eight outgoing calls. Zero incoming calls. “Reckon I should try to call her one last time?” he asked with a grin. “I mean, I don’t wanna come off like a simp or nothin’.”
Fifteen minutes later, they were seated at a candlelit table for two. While they sipped on large glasses of red Moscato, Gigi explained her lactose intolerance and Frank’s plans to introduce her to cheese for the first time.
“So let me get this straight,” Winston said, leaning in. “You consider this cheating on your boyfriend, don’t you?”
“Um...well, it has nothing to do with you!” Gigi laughed nervously. “It’s...well, it’s cheating if I eat that.”
The waiter came over with a platter of Caprese salad and a refill of red wine. Winston picked up a soft, fluffy cheese disc and tore it in half. “I’m not a betting man. But I wager if your boyfriend wanted to have dinner with you, he’d be the one sitting across from ya.”
Gigi stared into Winston’s pale blue eyes, then at the mozzarella. Slowly, she reached out and placed it on her tongue. Then, she closed her eyes as the creamy, silky flavor graced her palate. She swallowed, then grabbed another, shoving the whole disc in her mouth. Satisfied, Winston pushed the plate toward her. Then, he took out his phone and turned on the camera.
“Here’s to Gigi’s first dairy experience,” he announced, taking a photo. “And, I reckon, the moment before one of her many trips to the bathroom.”
She gasped, tossing her dinner napkin at him. They laughed, garnering the attention of a couple of older, quieter patrons. But Winston and Gigi lived in their own world, sipping refill after refill of wine as she alone cleaned that plate. Before long, the waiter returned with fried mozzarella logs for Winston and loaded macaroni and cheese for Gigi.
“So, all jokes aside,” Gigi started. She leaned forward, the candlelight casting a golden glow on her grinning, pale face. “In your old YouTube days...how long would it take you to eat everything on this table?”
“Son of a bitch!” Winston laughed, dunking a log into his marinara. “I knew my sister told ya about my eating channel! How much of it did you get around to watching?”
“Oh, you don’t want to know!” Gigi giggled, taking her first-ever bite of mac and cheese.
And while the two loyal friends shared stories and cheese dishes, their other friends betrayed loyalty that night. Sarah, Tai, Evelyn, and Jacky used Winston’s fake IDs to bar crawl all over downtown Asheville. And Claire sneaked Frank into the Beta Delta Epsilon frat house, where they rolled in the sheets all night long.

The Death of the Smallish Secondary Skilled Forward

I think that the decisions that Benning and Green made with the roster yesterday are reflective of how the game is being played now. Teams are so big and fast, the positioning and defensive strategies that teams are employing are so good that they have basically taken away the center of the ice. North-South high percentage hockey is the future, East West players that aren't elite are just not effective anymore.
The vast majority of the game now happens within three feet of the boards, odd man rushes are becoming more and more rare. If a player gets one steamboat on the puck that is considered having "time and space" and even if they get past the first defender and get to the center of the ice another player will be on at them in another steamboat, and another the next. It take players with elite skill and elusiveness like Petey to manage that.
Good skill is just not good enough anymore and players who can't win board battles are straight up liabilities. Beating defenders one on one has become a high risk low reward play that barely ever results in a quality scoring chance for all but maybe a dozen smallish skill players in the whole league. Even powerplays look more like basketball than the fluid man advantages of the past. The box has been replaced with the triangle +1 on the PK and the whole game is trying to open up a cross ice pass for a one timer, almost every team is using a variation of this now.
If you look at this roster it is built to win that kind of game. This is the heaviest Canucks lineup I have seen in 40 years of following the team. Heavy players with heavy accurate shots. There are no Bozeks or Tantis, Ronnings or Raymonds. Nothing against those players at that time, but there is no room for that in today's NHL, you have to expect to fight and win dozens of board battles for every flowing open play situation in a game, that's what the team seems to be betting on.
If you want to know why Loui Eriksson is on this team its because the guy almost never loses a board battle. If you watch this aspect of his game and know how important it is in todays NHL you may even find yourself being impressed as he holds off three defenders while his whole line changes and then somehow still gets the puck behind the net before going off himself That's not a little thing, when you're team is under pressure holding a one goal lead late in a game, that's a big thing, even if casual fans may not notice or appreciate it.
I think that teams that try and play with smaller skilled players in their bottom 9 are going to find that if they don't have a top end PP they just aren't going to win consistently in the regular season. Even then they will have real problems getting anywhere in the playoffs, see TB/Calgary last season for reference.
I predict that with the improved defence on this team (which is a far better gauge of a teams likely success than looking at the forwards imo) and the teams embrace of this style of play will make us the most improved team in the league and that we may even challenge for the division.
Looking forward to a great season, GO CANUCKS GO!

NHL Tuesday: 7 Game Slate

Disclaimer: I don’t have the time to update this after I’ve submitted anymore, so make sure the lines are still together and there aren’t any late injuries/scratches/etc. If you reach me afterward, I’ll be replying via mobile.
Saturday was a really sad night for me. I loaded up on Binnington hoping for shot upside from the Habs. Betting against the Habs is already difficult enough for me, but he got absolutely torched and MTL1 ended up being the best line on the slate with barely 1% ownership. Threw away all my winnings from the previous night. Oops.
Happy belated Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians, and Columbus Day to my neighbors down south.
Matchups
I unfortunately don’t have a lot of time for today’s slate, but at least it’s a smaller one. Pretty much anyone other than the Wild or Coyotes is projected to score at least three goals tonight, so it should be a fun one.
TBL@MTL: Even with the Leafs and Jets on the slate, if Tampa’s top line stays loaded they should see decent ownership tonight on a smaller slate. If you’re looking at a powerplay stack, Maroon is still listed on PP1, though note that Cirelli seemed to pick up all the additional points when they destroyed the Leafs despite that. Not sure if it was an alternating role or what. The Habs penalty kill has only been 65% so far this season. The Lightning advanced stats are among the worst on the slate. I’m going to have a few shares of MTL1 and MTL3 tonight and hope the hockey gods forgive and repay me for the weekend blunder. Both have had solid performances so far this season. MTL3 is particularly accessible on Draftkings tonight.
MIN(b)@TOR: The Wild are the only team on a back-to-back tonight, though they did play yesterday afternoon in Ontario, so I’m not sure that will really affect their game much. Also: not sure it will matter, as the Leafs offense has been basically unstoppable. Even on a small slate I don’t think MIN1 will see much ownership tonight, so you could take a stab there for upside while what little offense is left on this team is saddled up with one another. There’s also a chance Dumba, Spurgeon or Suter could do some damage from the point, but I’m not putting much stock on it. It’s the Leafs top six or a powerplay stack here for me tonight. You could also make a case for Andersen in net, though he’s expensive in both formats.
ARI@WPG: On paper, this is an interesting matchup. The Jets have the worst expected goals against on the slate and have been fairly porous without, well, their entire defensive core from last season. On the other hand, the Coyotes have the worst goal production so far this season. The Jets also have historically dominated the Coyotes with a 5-1 record over the last two seasons. I want to say that makes Hellebuyck the best value goalie on the slate, but it’s definitely with reservations. The Coyotes aren’t even cheap enough for me to want to punt them with some of the higher priced lines tonight. Not only are they barely scoring, there isn’t even one line that seems to be shooting much. I’m off them entirely until they figure things out. The top six for the Jets are in play, though I don’t expect Copp to really light the lamp if you want to keep him off L2, though he does add value if you need it. Connor has been averaging almost five shots a game since the start of the season and is bound to have a big night soon. If you need a one off from this game for cash, he also gets powerplay correlation and should have a solid floor. Pionk and Morrissey are getting closer to parity, so take your pick there if you want a four man stack.
PHI@CGY: Another matchup that’s difficult to analyze tonight. In games where Hart was in net, the Flames were basically stifled. In games where Hart wasn’t in net, however, they scored at least six. They’ve decided the Oilers are the bigger scoring threat and are throwing Elliott in the cage tonight. If people do tend to gravitate to the Leafs tonight, I honestly prefer this matchup. CGY1 + Tkachuk or Giordano, no use messing around with depth tonight, especially because there literally hasn’t been a goal from a forward other than those mentioned yet this season. PHI2 has been the better line for the Flyers so far this season, and will likely fly under the radar because Konecny and Lindblom don’t have the name recognition of Giroux and Voracek. It’s not a cheap line, but it’s worth considering. Pair with Provorov for a powerplay stack.
DET@VAN: Outside the two main lines, there are tons of guys you hardly see mentioned having a great start to the season. Dekeyser is almost a point per game with solid peripherals. Pearson is leading the team in shots and almost a point per game as well. Both of these are quite unsustainable, mind you, but they’re cheap enough for now. Tanev is priced at floor on Fanduel and has solid back to back games if you need a punt. This is a risky fade for me tonight, but I’m hoping the Canucks can contain DET1 on home ice and Pettersson/Boeser stay quiet for now.
NSH@VGK: Somehow the Preds are leading the league in goals right now, though expect that to dip as they’re near the bottom of this slate for expected goals delivered and it’s unlikely they dominate the Golden Knights at home. Still, they wanted to improve on goalscoring this offseason, and so far it’s working. You could make a case for the top four defense and top nine forwards if you like this matchup, though I’d likely stick to NSH2 and Josi/Ekholm/Ellis. Stastny delivered a four point performance after being reunited with Stone and Pacioretty, and offers about the same value Glass did with higher upside. Marchessault only has one goal on his last 19 shots. Like Kyle Connor, he should be due for some positive regression soon. Perhaps tonight, as the Preds are also giving up over four goals a game right now. The Vegas powerplay has been great at 30% so far, against the Preds PK that’s at only 71%.
CAR@LAK: If the advanced stats are to be believed, the Kings have had incredibly strong possession play and extremely poor goaltending. These two teams have the highest expected goals, shots and Corsi on the slate and seem to be rather weak between the pipes. I love the Canes as a team but they’re so awkward for DFS purposes because they often score by committee. For that reason, I prefer to use them as plugs to fill holes than linestacking most of the time, with Haula, Svechnikov and/or Hamilton wedging themselves in there right now. CAR1 could definitely break out here though. Outside Kovalchuk and Toffoli as one offs, LAK1 and Doughty would be the main pick here. I know nothing about Sean Walker, but dude has five points in his last five games with fifteen shots. Undrafted standout or early season fluke? I have no idea. He’s playing decent minutes and is getting points at 5v5 though.
TL;DR: I don’t feel like I have a particularly strong read on this one. Probable chalk are the Leafs, based on Vegas odds and people loving the Leafs, though the Flames offense is more predictable and also have a great matchup if they can get it together. There are other big lines on the slate, such as TBL1 and WPG1, and to a lesser extent DET1, VGK2, NSH2, VAN1 and MTL1. That’s not to discount the Canes or Kings. WPG2 and VGK1 are also “due” for some positive regression. MIN1, MTL3 and PHI2 deserve an honorable mention. Yes, I am generally mentioning everybody. There are more goals than ever right now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finished the series, here are my episode ratings

I give Regular Show: -The Power 2/5 (Boring start, smh) -Just Set Up the Chairs 2/5 -Caffeinated Concert Tickets 2/5 (Three 2's so far, not that impressive of a show, tries way to hard to be "cool" "hip" and "wacky") -Death Punchies 3/5 -Free Cake 2/5 (Man why do so many modern cartoon insist on having magic babies? Phineas & Ferb, Gravity Falls, now this) -Meat Your Maker 4/5 (Didn't know they could say Piss in a CN show) -Grilled Cheese Deluxe 4/5 -The Unicorns Have Got to Go 2/5 -Prank Callers 3/5 -Don 2/5 (Man, Don looks freaky, how was this design approved) -Rigby's Body 3/5 -Mordecai and the Rigbys 3/5 (By this point I've learned the show plays very loosely with the rules of their world. Anything magic or supernatrual can just happen. An arcade game character coming to life, time travelling cellphones, time travelling guitars, living hot dogs... I'm just not into it. I'm all for wacky humor, but feels like this show kinda overdoes it, and in the wrong way) -Ello Gov'nor 3/5 (Uhm why does Rigby sleep on a trampoline?) -It's Time 3/5 (When Mordecai put the clocks in the microwave I was expecting time travel... For the third time) -Appreciation Day 3/5 -Peeps 2/5 -Dizzy 2/5 (Real-looking Mordecai and Rigby...

Or more likely, just a flashback episode... But the animation is so much more expressive and smoother, particularly for quick character transitions) -Go Viral 3/5 -Skunked 3/5 (So the skunk was human? Then who is the original skunk?) -Karaoke Video 3/5 (This show's usage of real songs is a bit baffling for a Cartoon Network show. Specifically 80's songs. And they're always playing 8-bit games and using VHS tapes... Is this show set in the 90's?) -Stick Hockey 3/5 -Bet to Be Blonde 4/5 -Skips Strikes 5/5 (I may have a bias towards Skips episodes or something) -Terror Tales of the Park 4/5 (Well the house segment is a clear four but the other two are maybe three's?) -Camping Can Be Cool 3/5 Margaret sure is oblivious) -Slam Dunk 2/5 -Cool Bikes 4/5 (Cool episode) -House Rules 2/5 -Rap It Up 1/5 -Cruisin' 5/5 -Under the Hood 3/5 (Jesus Christ, I only now realize often how they use the 360 wipe transition for practically every new scene) -Weekend at Benson's 4/5 -Fortune Cookie 3/5 (I wasn't a fan of it at first but now I really like that practically every episode has some strange or supernatrual twist and theme) -Think Positive 5/5 (Benson needs some fucking chill pills tho) -Skips vs. Technology 4/5 -Butt Dial 4/5 (I could really feel Mordecai's embarrassment... Ouch) -Eggscellent 3/5 (I Need A Hero is a fire song, well, the Jennifer Saunders cover is better but still. Also sick Indiana Jones ref, a movie ref I actually understoond) -Gut Model 2/5 (Why was I expected Hi Five to express his love for Muscle Man?) -Video Game Wizards 2/5 (Video game episodes so far are usually pretty boring) -Big Winner 4/5 -The Best Burger in the World 3/5 (Normally Benson is fair but he was just cruel in this episode. I really wanted them to taste that burger... They earned it) -Replaced 2/5 (I have no idea what animal the Rigby replacement is supposed to be) -Trash Boat 3/5 (So the last episode was about them trashing boats, and the next one is titled Trash Boat? Lol) -Fists of Justice 2/5 (Honestly just another "Skips is weird and mythological lol" episode, which in concept should be good but eh) -Yes Dude Yes 4/5 (I looked it up on the wiki (idiotic of me) but I already suspected this gal would return in the future and I'm glad to know she does) -Busted Cart 3/5 (Sheesh, Benson was about to cry...) -Dead at Eight 2/5 -Access Denied 4/5 -Muscle Mentor 3/5 -Trucker Hall of Fame 3/5 (O, didn't expect this show to have someone die although none if it was really taken too seriously, but Muscle Man episodes sure are growing on me) -Out of Commission 1/5 (Man what a boring episode) -Fancy Restaurant 3/5 -Diary 4/5 (Respect for Mordecai for not even considering reading her diary tbh) -The Best VHS in the World 2/5 -Prankless 2/5 -Death Bear 3/5 (Argh just kiss already) -Fuzzy Dice 1/5 (Snooooore) -Sugar Rush 4/5 -Bad Kiss 5/5 (I tried to make sense of the timelines and different Mordecais but damn it all happened so fast I lost track quickly, plus I'm sure it makes no sense anyway) -Exit 9B 4/5 (Double length episode, a bunch of old characters from old episodes appear... Is this a special or something? 100th episode? I don't keep track tbh) -Starter Pack 3/5 -Terror Tales of the Park II 4/5 (Rating is high purely for the last segment. Not only is it good, but I can appreciate it as I quite literally set up wallpaper for a living. Well, at times. It's not all I do, but it's a part of it) -Pie Contest 3/5 (Fun episode but a talking pie randomly eating everyone was just too far fetched and lazy imo) -150 Piece Kit 3/5 -Bald Spot 2/5 (Bruh half of this episode is literally uncensored flailing tiddies) -Guy's Night 4/5 (I admire Pops righteousness, makes it really easy to root for him, plus everyone always doubts his skills just cause he's an old kook) -One Pull Up 3/5 -The Christmas Special 4/5 -T.G.I. Tuesday 3/5 -Firework Run 5/5 (The shows usage of real guns is a bit odd for a Cartoon Network show) -The Longest Weekend 4/5 (Lol women playing mind games then getting mad when you can't read 'em. Know this too well) -Sandwich of Death 3/5 -Ace Balthazar Lives 2/5 -Do or Diaper 3/5 (So Mordecai doesn't acknowledge the fact that he's already kissed her? Sure, he changed the timeline and he's the only one who remembers it. But he still did it) -Quips 2/5 -Caveman 5/5 (Was gonna give it a four but yknow what, it's really good and I'm generous) -That's My Television 4/5 -A Bunch of Full Grown Geese 2/5 -Fool Me Twice 3/5 (Why was Benson so overly insistent that they couldn't use the phone for a measly little phone call?) -Limousine Lunchtime 4/5 -Picking Up Margaret 4/5 (So STILL no acknowledgement of the fact that they've already kissed?) -K.I.L.I.T. Radio 2/5 (Uh, how did the radio guy get out alive?) -Carter and Briggs 2/5 -Skips' Stress 3/5 (Pretty convenient how everyone cut down their own stress-heads and no one elses) -Cool Cubed 3/5 -Trailer Trashed 4/5 -Meteor Moves 3/5 (Sheesh, finally they kiss) -Family BBQ 4/5 (Waitwaitwaitwaitwait... Margaret's dad is... Human? So, he fucked a... Okay) -The Last Laserdisc Player 3/5 -Country Club 4/5 -Blind Trust 5/5 (Oh... Benson says he loves Mordecai and Rigby. Damn)-World's Best Boss 3/5 (A mug, gee, what a swell gift...) -Last Meal 3/5 (Getting tired of Muscle Man and Starla episodes though tbh) -Sleep Fighter 3/5 -Party Re-Pete 4/5 -Steak Me Amadeus 3/5 (Woah, heavy ending) -Laundry Woes 5/5 (Genuinely good emotion from this one, so Margaret'll be gone now?) -Silver Dude 3/5 -Benson's Car 4/5 -Every Meat Burritos 2/5 (That guy's over the top and slow motion fighting was just tedious to watch) -Wall Buddy 3/5 -A Skips in Time 5/5 -Survival Skills 4/5 (If only a few hours had passed, how did we see it become nighttime twice?) -Terror Tales of the Park III 3/5 (This is literally Treehouse of Horror!!!!) -Tants 4/5 -Bank Shot 3/5 -Power Tower 2/5 (How is Muscle Man so much taller just because he was ripped?) -The Thanksgiving Special 5/5 (Frickin Donald Trump parody. Timely. Justin Bieber too. Don't know who the other two pop stars were supposed to be though) -The Heart of a Stuntman 2/5 (Muscle Man and Rigby made it? I was expecting only Muscle Man) -New Year's Kiss 4/5 (Ugh, this begs so many questions. Like, how far from the future is this other Rigby, and how did he just get a device that could call the past?! I guess at some point the current Rigby will be the one making the call, though I doubt it would have been planned. Probably similar situation to the Muscle Man hot dog eating contest. -Dodge This 4/5 (Sheesh, Benson sure is passionate about winning this) -Portable Toilet 3/5 -The Postcard 4/5 (First real Hi-Five episode?!) -Rigby in the Sky with Burrito 3/5 -Journey to the Bottom of the Crash Pit 3/5 -Saving Time 4/5 (The changing clock song was objectively epic) -Guitar of Rock 4/5 (For once Benson fucked up, lol) -Skips' Story 5/5 (Bruh how they playing Forever Young in the 1800's? Also Skips immortality isn't entire clear. As far as I understand, he just can't die of old age or natrual causes, but he confirms he still needs to breathe, which means he could die in space (as confirmed here) or by drowning? What if something heavy fell on him, like a church?) -Return of Mordecai and the Rigbys 3/5 (The breakup and reunion was extremely rushed but at least the ending wad funny) -Bad Portrait 4/5 -Video 101 3/5 -I Like You Hi 4/5 (MordeCJ is way better than Margecai) -Play Date 4/5 -Expert or Liar 2/5 -Catching the Wave 3/5 -Gold Watch 2/5 -Paint Job 3/5 (Benson's fucking rambling tantrum at the beginning made me lol) -Take the Cake 3/5 (This woman needs some frickin chill, yo) -Skips in the Saddle 2/5 -Thomas Fights Back 3/5 (Hey, Thomas finally gets to do something) -Bachelor Party! Zingo!! 3/5 -Tent Trouble 4/5 -Real Date 4/5 (Why's this guy obsessing over Mordecai in particular deleting his account?) -Maxin' and Relaxin' 5/5 (Uh, hi, Leela. That aside, really sweet episode actually) -New Bro on Campus 4/5 (Why does the intro suddenly have "A Cartoon Network Original" attached to it?) -Daddy Issues 3/5 -Terror Tales of the Park IV 4/5 (Augh, that demon Mordecai running up the stairs... Cursed. Literally) -The End of Muscle Man 1/5 -Lift With Your Back 3/5 (Man those bumps on Rigby's back is a bit gross to look at, though still watchable since it's only a cartoon) -Eileen Flat Screen 3/5 -The Real Thomas 4/5 (Ah, shit. I was hoping Thomas would stay, Russian accent and all!) -The White Elephant Gift Exchange 4/5 -Merry Christmas Mordecai 4/5 (How do you 'accidentally' kiss your ex when you're somewhere with your current girlfriend? Like cmon) -Sad Sax 3/5 (Here, have a bunch of sequences where misunderstandings make CJ believe something is going on between Mordecai and Margaret that could easily be explained by literally spelling out the situation(s). I was half expecting them to break up, really glad they got back together, I'm actively rooting for MordeCJ) -Park Managers Lunch 3/5 (Wow, it was an initiation! *That sure was a twist I didn't realize beforehand) -Mordecai and Rigby Down Under 4/5 -Married and Broke 1/5 (I just really don't care for Muscle Man and Starla episodes, okay? Not to mention most of it is just an obstacle course montage) -I See Turtles 4/5 -Format Wars II 1/5 (Shit ep, but I really liked Internet's voice) -Happy Birthday Song Contest 2/5 -Benson's Suit 5/5 -Gamers Never Say Die 3/5 (Convenient that an international videogame would have directions specifically close to where Mordecai and Rigby live) -1000th Chopper Flight Party 4/5 (At this point I'm expecting Mordecai to break up with CJ for being too jealous, whereas at first I was expecting CJ to dump Mordecai over the misunderstandings... I don't like either idea, but it's only my prediction :shrug:) -Party Horse 3/5 (Unicorns Have Got To Go vibes, but this was a little less shitty and a bit funnier) -Men in Uniform 2/5 (Mordecai, Rigby and Benson are always naked but wear underwear when they put on uniforms?) -Garage Door 3/5 -Brilliant Century Duck Crisis Special 2/5 (Why is this a special?? And what's with the severe lack of music during the rain battle? It's baffling to watch...) -Not Great Double Date 4/5 (I was kind of hoping Margaret would still have feelings for Mordecai and not moved on that easily, but that's mostly cause I've been salty over similar personal situations... Which is a bit salty of me to enjoy seeing it in a cartoon) -Death Kwon Do-Livery 3/5 -Lunch Break 3/5 (I mean... Benson could've used his common sense and just not bought the $85 sandwich but... Ok, blame Mordecai and Rigby for it) -Dumped at the Altar 3/5 (UUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH. Not only did I call it, but it annoys me as much as I predicted it would. Please just get back together, you made a good pair, all of this is just CJ's uncontrollable jealousy and insecurity, Mordecai doesn't do anything!) -Dumptown USA 3/5 (I still recognize Sad Sax's voice... Where is it from?!) -The Parkie Awards 3/5 (Cute ending) -The Lunch Club 4/5 (Neat to see a one-on-one Rigby Benson episode) -Local News Legends 3/5 -The Dome Experiment 5/5 (Lol Bensons dedication to just proving he's right is genuinely hilarious, gave me the rare real laugh I rarely get from shows or movies) -Birthday Gift 2/5 (LOL @ Rigby literally shoving the muffin in his mouth even tho it's still shocking him) -Cat Videos 4/5 -Struck by Lightning 3/5 -Terror Tales of the Park V 4/5 -The Return of Party Horse 2/5 (The first Party Horse was boring enough, why bring it back) -Sleep Cycle 4/5 (Huh... I was expecting the return of Coffee Bean Guy when Muscle Man said he knew a guy with coffee...) -Just Friends 3/5 (BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, bring back CJ) -Benson's Pig 2/5 (So there's an anthropomorphic bird and raccoon... But the pig is an animal) -The Eileen Plan 3/5 -Hello China 3/5 (Apple's voice is...... Adorable) -Crazy Fake Plan 2/5 (I am so not invested in "Rigleen" at all, I still don't find them a believable couple cuz Rigby was atrociously oblivious for ages and didn't seem to care. All the Mordecai romance stuff was actually good) -Win That Prize 3/5 -Snow Tubing 3/5 (This is only getting a 3 because I'm feeling generous today. The first half of Eileen keeping them from getting to their destination could've been a funny (and better) 11 minute episode on it's own) -Chili Cook-Off 4/5 -Donut Factory Holiday 3/5 -Gymblonski 2/5 -Guys Night 2 4/5 (Neat return of Thomas) -Gary's Synthesizer 3/5 -California King 3/5 (Why does Rigby sleep on a trampoline to begin with?) -Cube Bros 3/5 (Oh, was Mordecai's cube bro equivalent supposed to look like J. G. Quintel himself?) -Maellard's Package 3/5 (Yknow, at this point we've seen Mordo and Riggs fail to manage the easiest task it's getting hard to root for them, and Mordecai has a random dream of owning an airline out of nowhere) -Rigby Goes to the Prom 3/5 -REGULAR SHOW: The MOVIE 4/5 -The Button 4/5 -Favorite Shirt 3/5 -Marvolo the Wizard 2/5 -Pops' Favorite Planet 4/5 (That cliffhanger ending though) -Pam I Am 4/5 (Family Guy did this exact same thing, where they release gas to float down. But they're probably not the first to do it either) -Lame Lockdown 3/5 -VIP Members Only 4/5 -Deez Keys 3/5 (More like deez nuts) -Rigby's Graduation Day Special 4/5 -One Space Day at a Time 4/5 (I already knew they were going to space thanks to spoilers, but the reason why will be pretty interesting to find out) -Cool Bro Bots 4/5 -Welcome to Space 4/5 -Space Creds 4/5 (The show went through a little rough patch of so-so episodes for a while but ever since they went to space, these have been a blast!) -Lost and Found 4/5 -Ugly Moons 3/5 -The Dream Warrior 4/5 -The Brain of Evil 3/5 (Hi, Rex from Toy Story) -Fries Night 3/5 (Roxy claims Benson is an "organic" despite the fact that he is a gumball machine :wat~1:) -Spacey McSpaceTree 3/5 -Can You Ear Me Now? 3/5 (The ears are pretty loud themselves a lot of the time...) -Stuck in an Elevator 4/5 -The Space Race 2/5 -Operation: Hear No Evil 4/5 (It's amazing that even through all of this he hasn't given up his petty principles for Mordo and Riggs) -Space Escape 2/5 (Some anti-pops... Wut da heck is this all about? Guess I'll find out) -New Beds 3/5 -Mordeby and Rigbecai 2/5 -Alpha Dome 1/5 (The space stuff just getting worse when it started out gradually getting better and better) -Terror Tales of the Park VI 4/5 -The Ice Tape 3/5 -The Key to the Universe 3/5 -No Train No Gain 4/5 -Christmas in Space 3/5 -Kill 'Em with Kindness 3/5 -Meet the Seer 3/5 (Oh, give me a break. The universe "aka the show" will end. This magic being as been watching their universe "aka the show" since season 1!!! This is just too boring, on the nose and instantly takes you out of the moment. Instead of being able to take the consequences of what's happening seriously, it just reminds me "oh, nevermind, this is a fictional show LOL who cares what happens) -Cheer Up Pops 2/5 (Am I stretching too far or is the bit about the BluRay woman having tons of buttons and the HDDVD guy having one button a joke about the male and female orgasm?) -A Regular Show Epic Final Battle 2/5
I'd love to have some discussions about the show and whatnot, I'm really sad to be done with it, and I was not satisfied with the ending at all. I didn't mind Pops' death. I hated it... But only because it made me cry. It was still a good and powerful ending to him. Mordecai quits his job to pursue art... Fair enough. What annoyed me about it was the children. Everyone having tons of children... What the hell was up with that? Muscle Man is still trailer trash but now he has six freakin' kids. Rigby has two, and Mordecai has fricking three... I don't know why of all things to focus on, this ending was so fixated on everyone being in a relationship and having children. Not only that, but Mordecai got some horrifying bat-bird mix with some random bat-human lady we only ever see at the end...
Not to mention I wasn't a fan of the fact that they just seemed to quit working at the park instantly, but then again I don't know how much time passed between that part of the montage. I would have much preferred a more open ended finale. Perhaps if we saw Mordecai and Rigby part ways, and Mordecai pursue being an artist, but without being so obvious that he becomes successful and famous because of it. I don't know, everyone seems to adore it, so I'm probably just being a moron. To repeat myself, I just didn't understand the fixation of every character being in a relationship and having a million children.

/Hockey NHL Power Rankings Week Dec 3, 2018 - Dec 9, 2018

Thank You

Thank you to all of the volunteers doing the power rankings. Each ranker has their own system and have their own reasonings and analyis. It truly is a lot of work.

Visualization

The visualization contains historical data, so you can see how your team has done over time. Hopefully, we can run this for many years in hopes that we can see the rise and fall of teams by /hockey opinion.
It automatically updates so feel free to bookmark. You can find it here

Process

How does this work? Throughout the course of the week rankers are able to access an app that will allow them to rank teams. At the end of the period we calculate the average ranking for every team and collate all of the analysis provided by rankers.
The app then generates a post that is first proofread and then posted to /hockey!

Rankings(30/31 Teams Reporting)

Ranking (avg) Team Delta Overall Record Record This Week Comments
1 (1.16) Tampa Bay Lightning - 23-7-1 4-0-0 I typically spend every week here highlighting a player that has stood out but after this week there are way too many Bolts that I could talk about. Something about the team feels different this year. Outside of the “Vegas Hangover” loss to Arizona there hasn’t been a single loss that they have felt out of it. Even the game where Eddie Pasquale struggle in his NHL debut, the team never gave up. If I do have to focus on one player then I gotta give some love to Mathieu Joseph. A lot of hockey may not have heard of this kid but you should. He is one the fastest skaters in the league, is tied for 2nd in goals for rookies and 7th in points. Much like Brayden Point had a slow start to his rookie season and started to turn it on, a similar thing is happening to Joseph. He is one player that all hockey fans should be keeping a close eye on.
2 (2.81) Toronto Maple Leafs - 20-9-1 1-1-1 A collection of famous quotes about the Leafs: * You don't understand! They coulda had class. They coulda been a contender. They could've been somebody, instead of the Bruins' bitch, which is what they are. * Defense? Where we're going we don't need defense. * You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Can the Leafs win in TD Garden?' Well, can they, punk? * Mama always said the Leafs are like a box of chocolates. You never know how soft and fragile their psyche can get. * The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing Leafs fans their team wouldn't crack under pressure in Boston. * Hello my name is the Toronto Maple Leafs. You killed my pride. Prepare to have an easy win. And my personal fave: * Ha-ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia,” but only slightly less well known is this: “Never bet against the Leafs making the Bruins look much better than they truly are!”
3 (4.06) Calgary Flames 5 19-10-2 3-1-0 30 games into the season, the Calgary Flames are 1st Place in the Western Conference. Repeat that slowly if it sounds strange at first. The Flames were 8-1-1 coming into the meaningless and by all accounts scheduled loss to the McDavids on Sunday night, but remain as the leagues hottest team. With an elite set of top 5 skaters, consistent goaltending form both Smith and Rittich, and an apparent confidence not seen in any Flames team since the cup win in 04'...this team isn't slowing down anytime soon.
4 (4.59) Nashville Predators -1 19-10-1 1-2-0 We're just getting our yearly quota of man games lost out of the way now, right?
5 (5.59) Winnipeg Jets 2 18-9-2 2-1-0 Slowly regaining form thanks to Patrik Laine strictly scoring goals and Blake wheeler strictly racking up the apples.
6 (6.06) Colorado Avalanche - 17-8-5 1-2-0 Avs were shown this week they are still a young team with learning to do. Against Pittsburgh a few lazy shifts allowed a hat trick in 2:47. Tampa was just a demonstration of how far we have to go. The Avs looked out of sorts defensively and other than the top line we could not hang with Tampa. And our top line was having a lot of trouble the Tampa D-men. On the positive side of things Rantanen's point streak continues and Mackinnon put up almost as many points this week. Depth can still play with the majority of teams, and can get better. another plus is the Avs have only played 11 home games so far this year and they are much better at home, than on the road. This coming week will see a return to home and the western conference, with the Oilers and a back to back against St. Louis and Dallas.
7 (6.22) Washington Capitals -2 17-9-3 2-1-0 The Caps are riding high after thumping the Blue Jackets in a fight for the top spot in the Metro. With an atypical amount of injuries Todd has had to adopt the next man up mentality, and it's gone surprisingly well. Burakovsky is still a disappointment but Travis "my Boyd" Boyd has three points in in his last two games and Vrana & Connolly have provided the secondary scoring we need to win games. Djoos was healthy scratched, which is something I would advise against, but it allowed another look at Siegenthaler who is quickly proving to be a hidden gem. I don't know why exactly, but the Caps seem to have a knack for finding small, puck-moving LD - Schmidt, Djoos, Siegenthaler, and Orlov. I just wish we were as competent on the right side (jury's still out on Hobbs). Coming up this week we have the Red Wings, Hurricanes, and Sabres. All games a champion should win.
8 (8) Buffalo Sabres -4 17-9-4 0-2-1 Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Ten game win streak, followed directly by a five game losing streak. We played a great first period against Philly, then let in six straight goals. Yes, that same Philly team then lost 7-1 in Winnipeg the following day. Have we played any games that we could have won? As a matter of fact, we only lost by one goal in four of the five (including two in OT). In some sick, twisted reality do we lose the next five to nullify the win streak? Possibly. Would that catch any diehard Sabres fan off guard? Probably not. In any case, next week looks like a 50/50 split between LA, Arizona, Washington, and Boston.
9 (10.41) Boston Bruins - 16-10-4 2-2-0 What a Jekyll & Hyde week for the Bruins. I had my dank meme prepared going into the Toronto game on Saturday night; expecting a loss, given the 0-5 shutout against the Panthers and then a close loss against Tampa earlier in the week. Something about playing Toronto in Boston brings out the passion in this team. Secondary scoring shows up, and the team is lit. Questionable reffing aside, the Bruins go into Kanata and stole an OT win from the Sens after two tired teams on back-to-backs have a nice goalie battle. I am just happy that McAvoy is healthy after a big hit and the team is starting to come back from the IR and need to play some catch-up in the competitive Atlantic Division after floundering around.
10 (11.53) Columbus Blue Jackets - 16-11-2 1-2-0 Rough week for the Blue Jackets. I'm still baffled that Brad Larsen is still employed. Our defense has been bad and our powerplay is worse. It seemed that the calendar rolled over and everything good that happened in November was forgotten. At least Korpi, who came on in relief TWICE this week, has been playing great. .
11 (11.81) Dallas Stars 3 16-11-3 2-1-0 2-1-0 VGK knows how to take advantage of our AHL defense which SJS and EDM(Hitch fixed that for them) didn't.
12 (12.81) San Jose Sharks 3 15-11-5 2-1-0 While the Sharks had a decent record this week I'm still not loving their play. The Habs and Canes games went well for them, but the other two felt lacklustre. Although the offence is back on track after the road trip with the system being less predictable this week, the defence has still felt irresponsible at times, routinely giving up multiple goals in a short span and losing momentum in key moments. I'm not unhappy with the record this week, but I know the defence can be better and I'm hoping they pick it up soon.
13 (14.78) Montreal Canadiens 4 15-10-5 3-0-0 Shea Weber is back and Max Domi and Drouin have no soft side when it comes to bashing the Sens in the media.
14 (15.06) Minnesota Wild -3 15-12-2 1-2-0 Big divisional game Saturday night for the Wild, taking a 5-2 win to put them back into sole possession of first place in the competitive Central. Luke Kunin is quickly coming back to form after his ACL tear and Dmitry Sokolov potted a pair of third-period goals to seal the win. Goaltender of the Month Kaapo "Big Kahk" Kahkonen got the night off and CJ Motte had a serviceable 22 save night. The team now has only one regulation loss in their last ten and are firmly in playoff contention for the first time since the franchise moved north. Despite this ranker scouring the internet, news media, and even soup cans tied together with string, there is no word of how the NHL club is performing of late.
15 (15.56) Anaheim Ducks 1 16-11-5 2-1-0 Short week for the Ducks with a trade sprinkled in. Sprong for Pettersson was a low risk move by GMBM to light an offensive fire. if it works out, hes a genius. If it doesn't, no one will even remember the trade.
16 (15.59) Edmonton Oilers 2 16-12-2 3-1-0 Hitch has the boys buzzing around the ice since he took over the reigns with a 6-2-1 mark, a 6-1-1 mark with McJesus in the lineup. And McJesus is playing much better offensively and defensively anchoring this team that couldn't seem to stop a puck when McClellan was behind the bench. Koskinen and Talbot are now both providing great goaltending The Oilers appear primed for the playoffs at the pace they've been playing the last two weeks.
17 (16.28) Vegas Golden Knights 2 17-14-1 3-1-0 Finally we have avenged our Stanley cup loss... and in the most exciting way possible. Vegas keeps showing the league that they are here to stay with wins over Washington and Dallas. The loss to the Kings was not explainable, but at least the Knights bounced back at the fortress. We have updates that Stastny will travel with the team on the upcoming eastern coast road trip, so get ready to see an even more active 2nd line. *.
18 (16.81) New York Islanders -5 14-11-3 1-2-0 Unfortunate loss vs. WPG. BAD loss vs. Pit. Great win @ Det. Isles will have to maintain the momentum they built off their huge comeback road win Saturday night. With Ho-Sang being called up, hopefully they will be able to improve their powerplay scoring. Barzal still hasn't "woken up" and shown what he is fully capable of, and if that happens soon - watch out. Trotz's effects on this team continue to show week after week, as they are achieving things greater than anybody had predicted before the start of the season. This commentator’s greatest concern is how he is deploying his goalies, with Greiss who has shown problems in the past of dealing with excessive usage, currently getting used excessively. Hopefully with the return of Lehner to full health he can get some rest without compromising Islanders results.
19 (17.69) Carolina Hurricanes -7 13-11-4 1-1-0 Darling is back... this team is still a questionable team at best. It doesn't take much to determine what this team lacks in the terms of leading the league in shots on goal, and being dead last in the league in shooting percentage. It doesn't help they traded away a guy who is on pace for 50+ goals on a rival Eastern Conference team. Brett Pesce is back and Haydn Fleury is back to a healthy scratch. Terrible effort in LA, much better game in Anaheim and Aho is slowly getting out of his "scoring drought".
20 (19.81) Pittsburgh Penguins 3 12-10-6 2-0-1 Two great games, including another highlight reel Sidney Crosby goal, capped off by an extremely dumb penalty in overtime to lose what should have been a winnable game soured the whole week in my opinion. Ah well. Kessel looks way better on the top line right now than he has most of the season and I hope he stays there. We should also be getting Hornqvist back in time for next game. Also people keep posting videos of Sprong doing good things on our subreddit and that's pretty annoying. We need to beat the Islanders this week. Period period period exclamation point.
21 (20.91) Arizona Coyotes -1 13-13-2 1-2-0 At least this team is finally exciting to watch. Adin Hill has played well as of late, the young stars are showing up, and the team is playing much faster. This team appears to be the definition of today's NHL in the fast-paced play with an aggressive attack willing to trade chances and put points on the scoreboard.
22 (21.31) New York Rangers -1 14-12-3 1-0-0 Only one game this week, but that's ok! A shootout win against the Panthers still warrants some discussion, both positive and negative. A nice 2-0 lead in the first with goals from Mika and Vladdy, with a good opportunity for Kreids to score on a breakaway. In the second period we were quickly matched, but the lead was regained by a deflection from Matt Beleskey (!) Towards the end of the period Ekblad tied it up to head into what was shaping up to be an interesting third period. Our boy Freddy Claesson scored a damn fine goal to regain the lead early. About half way through the third, Barkov scores to tie it once again. After a very solid OT performance from Hank, we head to the shootout. Mika with a beautiful backhander strikes first. Shatty strikes next with another nice shot. Huberdeau answers, but Hayes hits Lu with a nice move to seal the deal. Fun game to come back from the week off. Hopefully the Rangers can come into this week with some momentum from the win, regardless of whether it was SO or not.
23 (22.25) Detroit Red Wings -1 13-13-4 1-1-1 The Wings are playing some 80s hockey. Tons of goals for, tons of goals against, comebacks, deficits, fights, hits and chaos. We win some, lose some, but the whole thing is fun as hell. Dylan Larkin is slowly turning into the franchise centerman Detroit thought they were getting. And the Red Wings have jumped back into the playoff picture after the miserable October they endured.
24 (23.84) Philadelphia Flyers - 12-13-3 1-1-1 This week was very flyers. Started with a good comeback bid in CBJ but ultimately fell in OT. Sanheim decided he was done not scoring goals and popped off 2 goals in just a few minutes, which was good to see. Then we had a fantastic, mostly 60 minute effort, where Giroux potted 4 points(1g, 3a) and got the game winning shortie. Then, Winnipeg happened, and I dont wanna talk about that. We had some life at the beginning, and played pretty alright, but Neuvirth in his first game back let in some softies. Then, after the 3rd goal was scored, making it 3-1, the wheels came off and the game turned into an unfortunate mess of a game that was hard to watch (no, that Hagg hit shouldnt get a suspension. A proper punishment was assessed, considering all factors, don’t even @ me). One highlight was Stolarz, who hasn’t played regularly in a little over two seasons since having surgery on them knees. He's looked confident and very solid in net, and should be proving a challenge to Neuvirth for the backup job once Elliot returns from injury
25 (24.59) Florida Panthers 2 11-11-6 1-1-1 At least the win against Boston was cool? I'm dead inside.
26 (25.38) Ottawa Senators - 13-14-4 1-2-1 Tank for Hugh- god fucking dammit
27 (25.53) Vancouver Canucks -2 13-16-3 2-1-0 Well, I guess they couldn't lose forever. The Canucks had a great week that included back--to-back wins and plenty of points for their emergent young stars. Over three games we saw 8 points for Pettersson, a hat trick for Boeser, and some high speed hockey from Horvat/Virtanen. Does this mean the Canucks are turning a corner on the season? Almost certainly not. Even with a healthy roster, this season is about enjoying the bright spots in otherwise dark night sky.
28 (26.5) New Jersey Devils - 10-12-6 1-1-1 Holy shit a win! Against the worst team in the NHL... I'll take it. And hell, the team put eight pucks in the net in Anaheim. Too bad 3 of them went into the net Schneider was guarding.... and that we still can't win in OT. or a shootout. This team needs something. Most likely defense, but take away the egregious mistakes against the ducks and it's 4-2 or 4-3 instead of 5-5 at 60 minutes. Statistically this team shouldn't be as bad as it is, record wise, but they are. What do you mean there was a game against the Lightning? Shuuuu we just won't talk about that one.
29 (28.56) St. Louis Blues 1 10-14-4 1-1-1 So at this point righting the ship seems nigh impossible, and yet some members of the team aren't on board with the whole tanking idea. Jake Allen, for example, is playing some of the best hockey of his life. If only the team in front of him could actually score.
30 (30.13) Los Angeles Kings 1 11-18-1 1-2-0 The Kings appear to be in full lose now mode, with a slew of rookies/free agents/randos added to the roster. The shellacking of VGK was nice though and a bright spot for us. #loseforhughes
31 (30.34) Chicago Blackhawks -1 9-17-5 0-3-0 For the 10th consecutive game, the Hawks have given up the first goal. These goals came at 0:54 (11/21 @ WSH), 0:29 (11/23 @ TBL), 5:48 (11/24 @ FLA), 2:10 (11/27 vs. VGK), 1:43 (11/29 @ WPG), 2:11 (12/1 @ NSH), 10:07 (12/2 vs. CGY), 5:41 (12/5 @ ANA), 1:28 (12/6 @ VGK), and 6:05 (12/9 vs. MTL) into the 1st. In those games, the Hawks were outscored 24-6 in the first period and have led a total of 41 seconds. They have not scored the first goal since 11/18 (vs. MIN). The Hawks are 2 for their last 33 PPs. The Hawks are 3-15-3 in their last 21 games. Connor Murphy returned from a back injury, but Gustav Forsling was placed on IR with a shoulder injury. At least we have the Bears?
