I like international Olympic hockey more because it's cleaner, a bit slower, and much easier to tell what's going on. But I don't know how to turn my love for my heritage into a love for a nhl team. I like Barkov and really enjoyed watching him play in the US vs Finland game the other day, but I don't really like how rough and cluttered the Panthers play. I know it's good defense but good hockey defense makes the game literally hard to follow.

I know I like the Stars, but it's like I want to like the Avalanche and other teams as well (Hurricanes, Predators, etc) This works on the NBA but in the NHL it feels like I'm supposed to have a single team.

I was just curious what the international fans on here do when it comes to NHL. Thanks for the help and hail Selanne lol

This is exactly why Knicks fans are so annoying lol

Note: I'm AudHD which may be part of this. I'm not asking for accommodation lol I'm just wondering how much of my issues are unique to me and my situation vs something other people experience.

I attended a boot camp back during the pandemic, and struck gold with a consulting firm. I was laid off whenever our contracts started laying off people, but I found a second job that was everything I wanted. The issue was I struggled to find any state of relaxation or flow. I never was able to code without being stressed while doing so, and it made it so it was just impossible to stay productive and not get burnt out within hours of being there on Monday.

So I'm not sure if my negative experience is a sign to look for another career, or a sign to maybe go back to school and learn the skills everyone else has to make me feel like a peer more than an imposter. The other idea I have is to become an electrician which I really think would make me really happy. Plus I get paid as an apprentic, and knowing how to code as an electrician seems like it would give me opportunities to get into smart homes and the like (low voltage systems).

I kind of feel like I just want to change careers, but I'm not sure if I'm making the right choice. I just wanted to see what you all think about the idea of just being happier at a job that's more tangible and not as virtual.

If I'm a person getting one, I'll be disappointed unless I get way more than I paid for, because I didn't get a choice on what I got. But if I'm selling stuff, why would I just put a bunch a valuable stuff in a box when I can sell it regularly for more?

The only way to make it worth while is if the person putting together the mystery boxes is intentionally trying to give away great stuff as a promo (like free mystery box as part of a package), or get rid of crap they don't want anymore. They'll never be worth it as long as the people putting them together want to make money off of them.

Note: Mystery Crates are fine.

Self starters are often hard to coach because making coach happy isn't their motivation. Even if someone isn't a self starter, they can be coached, inspired, and great on a team. It's not the same at all as being lazy.

As long as Proctor shows up, gets motivated by the team, and is coachable, I don't think it's a red flag.

I was kind of curious what you all think. I'll hang up and listen.
