Can confirm. Not only could I not afford to eat the style of food I cooked at work, the last thing that I wanted to do when I got home was put effort into my own food.
If I was eating at work, I'd cobble together some kind of salad out of whatever scraps and nearly expired food I could shove into my face in under 3 minutes. If I was "cooking" for myself at home, about the most complicated thing that I'd make for myself was cereal.
Checking out foreign versions of American fast food chains can be pretty fun. Their menus are often changed a bit to suit local tastes. Don't get me wrong, I won't turn down any chance to eat at a local hole in the wall, but I'll make a point of getting something from a McDonald's or KFC that they don't offer back home at least once if I get the chance.
I don't know which makes me lose more respect for the NHL: the fact that they made this policy in the first place or that they spinelessly rolled it back as soon as someone defied it.
And the type of deep analysis a knowledgeable fan might want is actually really hard to not only come up with live, but while watching something live without the benefit of watching a replay or a better camera angle.
At best, this kind of analysis is given a few minutes in between periods/quarters/halves/innings between commercial breaks and any other stories the network wants to cover.
Even if the announcer gets a generous 25 minutes between when the play happened and when they get a 2 minute spot to talk about it, that's a pretty tight deadline to get a video package together and come up with some talking points. There aren't a lot of people who have both the knowledge of the sport and the skill to put it together in a way that everyone will understand.
As an aside, there's an installation at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto that lets you try your hand at recapping a few games. It's tough even with a script. The announcers are doing it live.
Lotta people salty about the Atlantic Ocean.
Lisa can philosophize, Bart's adept at spinning lies.
I suppose, but the risk is low. Especially if your only other choice is to die in a minute without CPR.
They quoted someone with over 20k followers and 5M likes on TikTok, those are some serious bona fides.
Now I know what a replicator dinner feels like.

Now I have a machine gun

What the hell could be so bad that even the Blackhawks think it's unacceptable?

Assistant to the Sith Lord.

I'd like them to explain why it was okay for the Flames to all wear Mike Vernon jerseys during warm-ups a couple of weeks ago.
Add another 8 inches worth of services fees in there too.
Thanks for the F shack.
Serves Ottawa right for not being a large market O6 team.
You gotta support the team.
This'll remove your entire pelvis.

Superliminal advertising is way more effective.
