Just opened another box of 24-25 O-Pee-Chee paper and got a retro blank bank and a retro printing plate!!! I've never pulled either before and I'm stoked, curious on what the odds are on these? I assumed printing plates were a 'case hit' and the blank banks are two or three per case? The official odds are unstated, I know, but does anyone that's opened a case of this before have the numbers on it? Thanks!! I still got three numbered cards besides those though and all 18 retros, such a weird box lol but I'm not complaining at all! First 1/1 in my 10 years of being in the hobby:)

Looking for lesbian novels (or novels that are widely speculated to be) from the 1800s and early 1900s. I have found a few I'd like to read but looking for some more options to add to my reading list. Also would be open to books that are collections of poetry.It's unfortunate how many have seem to be lost to time, or aren't widely available on the internet or in print. I also only speak English, and the majority of books I've found that were originally written in other languages don't have official translations available, so looking for books in English/have available translations. If anyone has a good recommendation for something like this or a good recourse to share please let me know! I know this post may seem vague, but before lesbain pulp fiction got huge, the list of sapphic novels seems relatively short.

(Bonus points if it's been printed recently and I can get a physical copy!)

Hey all, I did some browsing on the internet and figured I'd ask here. Does anyone know where I can find a teams statistics (faceoff%, hits, etc) before each game? Not sure if thay question makes sense, but I mean I'd like to look at say, the Bruins' faceoff% before they played a certain game. I know it's very easy to find season totals and whatnot, but I'm looking for season totals that THAT POINT in the season (if that makes sense). Let me know if someone has this data somewhere or if there is a website to download it. Thank you!

Went down the draft rabbit hole, ended up making an Excel sheet because I am way too interested in statistics and got curious about how often 7th rounders actually play compared to the other rounds.

Here is the percentage of players that have played at least ONE regular season NHL game per round, averaged between 2021 and 2011 (draft data from dbhockey.com). For example, 96.50% of the players drafted in the first round between 2011 and 2021 have played in a game!

Round 1: 96.50%
Round 2: 70.04%
Round 3: 53.49%
Round 4: 39.16%
Round 5: 30.80%
Round 6: 25.44%
Round 7: 24.46%

Some interesting facts:
- Only 1 player drafted in R6 in 2021 has played an NHL game (Shane LaChance)
- In only 6 of the 10 years ALL first round picks have played in an NHL game
- On average, only 48% of players drafted have played in an NHL game
- The highest drafted player to not have played an NHL game yet in those 10 years is Tyler Boucher (10th Overall, 2021)

Now before all you stats nerds come for me, yes I know that there are players that are in teams' AHL systems and may be called up at some point, but the data is actually fairly consistent across all 10 years. This is just a fun thing I did because I also love stats and I was curious about probability. Hope at least one person also finds this interesting!

Does anyone know of any rinks that do drop in/pick up/open ice hockey? Looking for a session/group that has a more relaxed vibe and is open to all skill levels. Even a summer league looking for a sub would be something I'd be open to, just not sure which rinks offer these types of things. Thank you!

Are there any stationary stores in or around Syracuse? Specifically Japanese stationary stores that sell washi tape, little stickers, etc. I haven't heard of any but curious if anyone knows of one, thank you!
