@Mr_Derivatives Looks 2018-ish
CNN Greed & Fear and BAC Bull & Bear readings in 1Q 2026 resembled readings in 1Q 2018

Oops...Sorry guys for the "hourly rink employee". Backstory: A goalie on a former team of mine and longtime friend worked penalty boxes for NHL games for years. He used to jokingly refer to himself as "I'm just an hourly rink employee". Yes, he worked for the NHL. Also, he had great stories from his adventures in the box.

🤣 ... attention all 'just relax' responders:
1. put on your skates,
2. get out on the ice,
3. work your speed up to 25 mph+,
4. get hit by an opponent and lose your edge
then
5. hit an penalty box door unlatched by an hourly rink employee**

** IMPORTANT: make sure you hit the unlatched door right where your neck adjoins your collarbone (i.e. where there's less shoulder pad protection)

and

6. resubmit your comments 🤣

The '72 summit series was spectacular. World class talent deep on both benches. Esposito's tirade on the skeptical fans is legendary.

To compare the two victories, the issue is not Canada vs the Soviets compared to the USA vs the Soviets. The key to comparing the magnitude of the importance of each victory is: take away both Soviet teams and stack the 1972 Canadian team alongside the 1980 USA team.

The 1972 Canada Summit Series roster went on to win well over 50 Stanley Cups. The U.S. team’s total is single digits, maybe around 5 or 6 in total and Kenny Morrow had 4 of those.

The 1972 Canadian team was made up of NHL stars who played on perennial contenders and dynasties. On the other hand, the Miracle on Ice roster was mostly amateur and college players. Only a handful later won any NHL championships.

It is not surprising that several fans at the 1980 USA victory reportedly invented the now-famous "USA! USA!" chant during that game because that brief shining moment was the David vs Goliath of an ice hockey game.

@traderhc Also, for $QQQ to hit your 595 means breaking through the 200ma (~594). Could bring in technical traders going long

YEAR 2031-2036 NHL HOCKEY NEWS:
It will be interesting 5 or 10 years from now when Auston Matthews and/or Connor McDavid are reaching or breaking Gretzky/Ovechkin level records**, if anyone remembers the mindless word drool they endured from reporters in 2026. (**if they stay healthy)

@PaulDMauro Yes and Hellebuyck too. He ran a goaltending clinic against 5 or 6 future Hall Of Fame players including 2 generational talents

@BUHockeyStats Let's give Ken Morrow at least an honorable mention: a gold and four consecutive Stanley Cups

In his book Memoirs: Ten Years and Twenty Days, Karl Doenitz quotes U-Boat Captain Otto Kretschmer:

"My proclivity was to surface in the middle of the convoy: that’s where the ammunition and other important ships were."

He was the first submariner to do so. Younger, less experienced captains attacked from outside the convoy often encountering decoys, that is, heavily armed auxiliary cruisers disguised as freighters and designed to sink U-boats. Also on the perimeter were unimportant ships that contained non essentials. To the unsophisticated eye, however, these ships looked as if they contained important cargo.
