NHL Off-Season 2017 |OT| Weve Been Here Since October
- Thread starter Fata1moose

realistically, out of the 700ish NHL players how many of them do you think are flat earthers?
at least 150 right?
Of the 4 major North American leagues. The lowest amount percentage-wise. I'll actually say 0
At least they're not allowed to show personalities so we'll never know.
No way man, don't you need to be somewhat decent at school to play football in the US? Just watching NFL post-game interviews, they look like Einstein compared to the average NHL player
The NFL has the most crimes each year it seems. Now they have more players, but even then. Can any NFL team go a season without someone smacking their spouse or being involved in a club scuffle leading to a shootout? How many years would it take the entire NHL to catch up to the Cincinnati Bengals?
I mean in the NHL we go big. Like Mike Danton trying to call a hit on his old man like 15 years ago. But someone like the LA Russian or Varlamov (and Roy) is something of a massive "holy shit, he did what?" Whereas in the NFL it's just another day and hopefully Goodell gives the man a couple games. And then ban Brady for some bullshit for a quarter of the season.

You really think football players are excelling at school? Lololol
idk isn't that a prerequesite to play (unless you're a generational talent) or is that a myth?
There are very few that do. John Urschel, who is currently in the NFL, is taking courses at MIT for a doctorate in Mathematics.

Please SCF hurry up and end already
We all know the cup final is gonna go to 6 or 7 games to keep people like you waiting lol
Ive been saying this for awhile now
Hmm what are you trying to imply here?
edit: Also serious question: For the kids who end up in the OHL/CHL/WHL etc. before getting drafted and then end up in the AHL after being drafted how many of them end up actually in school? Is it a prerequisite that they have to take classes or are they just focused predominantly on hockey?
Like NBA/NFL players even if they are taking "communications" as their major still have to go to school, do hockey players follow the same logic or no?

should just cancel the finals. No winner this year, because we all lost.
also: communications is a phony major.
That you're not very smart if you find yourself with felonies if you are a professional athlete. Bengals are the kings in that category.

That's what I'm in.
I majored in Communicans & Mass Media. I don't like myself very much for it. Not because of the major, but because once it was too late I realized that maybe I'm not the type of person who would want to do marketing or PR all their life. Whoops. But I'm glad I had an internship at a digital marketing company to let me figure that out.
Luckily I don't want to be a doctor or an engineer so it's not like it matters. I can get a job in an unrelated field that doesn't require such expertise.

Yeah I'm figuring that out and it makes me sad
But I have a couple escape routes in mind at least.
once you're in an agency of any sort, you'll be able to branch out if you want to.
In those domains, your diploma is just a key, you open the door with it and then throw it away because everything you learned in school has been outdated for 3 years. You learn whatever that specific agency does and then try to find a role that suits you
You mean...you're not a shitheel?
Couldn't you spin a Communications/MM major into being CRITICAL of media? Maybe you could be the next host of The Daily Show?

You can work in marketing/PR for charities too Soc. Or the DNC (or RNC
). Or the Detroit Red Wings I love Bill Hicks and laugh at his joke how advertisers are the devil himself, but if I was to be 100% honest it's not all about being a scumfuck that hocks cigarettes to teens. Good PR is not about lying. And boy do you notice when PR messes up. Though they don't always get the last word so sometimes it's not necessarily their fault.
Sorry, sorry. I don't want to get defensive. It's just not black and white is all.
Could you imagine Kane and Boko Imama playing on the same line on the Kings? Fuuuuuck they would wreck a lot of shit

King Imama will bring glory to Los Angeles.
Also Habs Re-Sign Martinsen for one year, worth 675k. I'm totally okay with this he's probably going to be our 4th line centerman

It sounds like they signed him for exposure requirements for the expansion draft.The Habs were short a forward. Vegas probably won't take him.
It was between King or Martinsen and I'm pretty sure no one wants King back.
You do project management, right? Do you mind me asking what field?
Size and grit
Marketing
Engineering
I generalized. But generally speaking!You can work in marketing/PR for charities too Soc. Or the DNC (or RNC

could've sworn you said project management at some point, but alright!
I'm currently trying to figure out how I can successfully transition from academia to industry with "only" an MSc, not a PhD. Most positions I'm interested in seem to require a PhD. And I'm not sure I wanna go back to earning 20'000CAD a year for tons of work for 6 years just to do that. If so then I might just go back to Europe for a few years (3-4 year PhDs and MUCH higher pay, i'm talking 3-6 fold), but then I might have to give up on getting Canadian citizenship. DECISIONS.
What are you trying to imply? That only 150 know the truth? I think these guys are smarter than that
It's why this SCF suck ass too, and also why the CL final was just meaningless garbage to me.
just apply everywhere don't look at the requirements, with a MSc you'll be more than fine. Most requirements are overblown to scare people
Man it's a lot of work adjusting my CV everytime, I don't believe you. Natural sciences is a really tough field for jobs atm.

My degree is useless, just a vehicle for more school. Which I knew going in so that's fine.

well, I didn't mean it in the sense that it was easy to find a job, I meant like just apply and don't worry about requirements too much otherwise you'll drive yourself nuts. Whatever you don't know on the list you'll learn in-house
*take it with a grain of salt, I say this because this is how my field of work is but idk about yours

That'll be straight out the window once I report your anime pillows to Canadian authorities.
Yeah, I'm in the same position

Folks Smelly just may get deported yet.
yeah the problem is just that, at least in the natural sciences, there's SO many phd's looking for jobs too. And with an MSc you're automatically bottom of the barrel, there's no slim pickings at the top.
what degrees?
