@RWApodcast Establish is a strange way to word it. The US opposed the Bolshevik revolution. Shit, Wilson even weirdly put troops in Vladivostok over it (still don't get the reason exactly). We didn't help Stalin for the love of the game in WWII, we did it to stop Hitler.

@GatorCosmist @RWApodcast **conformed

@GatorCosmist @RWApodcast I'm sorry, but that's an absurd way to view any social construct. Existentialism comes from a Dane, adopted by Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, then popularized in France. Ideas are adopted and confirmed, as was Soviet Marxist Lennist Communism.

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@RWApodcast I'm not really sure what you're arguing for here. If it imploded from within, it's an inherently flawed system that shouldn't be admired or longed for.

It's well documented how reluctant the West was to support Stalin in WWII, but Nazism was then a bigger threat. Simple.

@twelcher15 I'm beyond tired of hearing that Thomas is a 1C, capable of leading a team to consistent playoff success. He's a 2C on a cup contender, and you can look no further than his Olympics non-invite to prove it.

@STLBluesChirp I'm really surprised that it wasn't a priority to keep Jiricek up. He needs NHL reps. I can get behind losing if you're letting the kids play. Right now they're opting for older and less talented. For... what reason?

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@barstoolsports Genuinely don't understand how this is even possible.

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@LasloLocks @stlanalytics I generally define "Elite" as top 5-10% in the league in their position.

McDavid. Draisaitl. Kucherov. MacKinnon. Makar. Rantanen. Crosby. Ovie. Matthews. Etc.

No one on this Blues roster earns a spot on that list or has the ceiling to get there.

It's just a fact.

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@LasloLocks @stlanalytics Agreed, no one should think that come from behind victories are sustainable. Winning games that you shouldn't gives false impressions of "character wins".. and puts you farther away from a lottery pick. The roster (urgently) needs elite talent, not 15th overall talent.

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@twelcher15 Take my money.

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@twelcher15 Colorado, Vegas, Toronto, Minnesota and Florida aren't bad at all. Low key I think Colorado might've won this. The whiteout/glacier look is 10/10. Chicago might be the most low effort lol

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@ajsepe17 @stlanalytics More pessimism, but I would prefer they lose both. Winning Saturday just gives you a false impression. I don't want to spend years chasing a WC spot. We need elite talent, and you don't find it in the draft picking at 15th overall. You find it in the lottery.

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@stlanalytics Sure! I just can't buy into the "we would've lost this one last year" narrative, as if it's something to hang our hats on. You can will your way back into games every once in awhile, but you can't fall into a series of 2 goal leads and think Saturday is a strategy moving forward.

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@cvcardsfan @Dave_GansSTL The era sucked?? Young Perron, Oshie, Steen, Tarasenko? Polak and Reaves heavyweights? Sure, they had their struggles but these were fun teams to watch.

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@kylejahner @jprutherford I think the deserve to win o meter was heavily swayed by goals saved below expected in this one (5 allowed on 2.57 xG) lol

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@1_BackendTicket @datman4600 @relliK_booN Bro you missed the whole point. It's an actual verifiable fact that QBs have left the Vikings and went off. Shit, even JJ had a nice little game in New York after being shipped off like used goods lmao

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@datman4600 @1_BackendTicket @relliK_booN right now maybe not, but I think when both careers are over Ben will have the better record/list of accomplishments 👀

[Jeremy @CapttOblivious]

@mike_rodich75 @jprutherford There isn't enough talent in this top 9 to play them equally against any given opposing line. You still have to skill match. You're not throwing Holloway, Dvo & McMichael out against the McDavids & Mckinnons of the world if you can help it.
