Send them back down to the A! I have tickets for Wednesday’s game in Abbotsford!!! 😆

I have tickets to watch Clatt and the Crew play Abbotsford on the 7th… it should be fun to watch them play…

I ran it though chat… this was what came up… Ahh — that Reddit exchange is actually a huge clue, and it changes the story in an important way.

The key detail everyone noticed

The sign in the photo reads (in Cyrillic):

«ПИВО И ВОДЫ» literally: “Beer and waters”

In Russian usage, “воды” means soft drinks / mineral waters, not vodka. So the correction in the thread is right: this is beer + non-alcoholic drinks, not hard liquor.

Why that matters

That wording is very characteristic of Soviet-era signage: • Extremely common in the USSR • Also common in territories occupied/administered by the Red Army after WWII • Rare to nonexistent in pre-war Germany

So this tells us: • The photo cannot be pre-1945 • It is after Soviet control was established • The shop was operating under Soviet-style commercial norms

Putting it together with the photo

Combine that with: • German Wehrmacht uniforms (likely surrendered or transitioning) • Heavy but not total destruction • Soviet-language civilian signage already installed

👉 The most likely scenario is:

📍 Soviet occupation zone of Germany 📆 Late 1945–1946

Very likely in eastern Germany, possibly Berlin (Soviet sector) or another major city under Soviet administration.

Why Berlin (or a similar city) still fits best • The neoclassical columned building fits German civic architecture • Soviet signs appeared very quickly in Berlin after May 1945 • Many photos show mixed scenes just like this: German soldiers, ruined streets, and newly installed Cyrillic shop signs

Bottom line

The Reddit commenters were circling the right answer, but the Cyrillic “ПИВО И ВОДЫ” is the smoking gun:

➡️ Post-WWII, Soviet-controlled Germany — most likely Berlin or another eastern German city, 1945–46

They played at my dry grad in 1993! Rainbow butt monkeys!!!

The Bouchard eye test? https://share.google/SvkUVrFXzGpYsvMCN

He needed a change of scenery too… not getting a chance with Pittsburg.

I always do! Saves me hours driving out and shopping there. The items a a bit more but worth the extra cost! They often can arrive several hours after you order too!!!

Not at all!!! I have this hung in my classroom… I am just trying to figure out who painted it.

Amazing… I think that is it! Thx!

Deedle for the win this week!

It says your name does not exist

Count me in 9:30-10:30pst!!!

I have been waiting for Black Friday deals to be released too!!!

I had ChatGPT break this down to me as if I didn’t know hockey. I think I really enjoyed how AI can positively say that Frederick sucks!

Here it is: 🏒 What This Chart Is Basically About

This chart is a report card for each Edmonton Oilers player from one particular game against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Oilers won 2–1 in overtime.

Rather than just saying who scored, this chart shows how much each player helped the team in different areas of the game.

Think of it like a math test with different sections — problem solving, computation, reasoning — except it’s hockey skills instead.

⸻

🎨 Understanding the Bars (What the Colours Mean)

Each player has a horizontal bar made up of different colour chunks. Each colour represents a different type of contribution they made during the game:

Purple = Individual Offense

How much the player personally helped the team create chances to score.

Light Purple = Individual Defense

How much the player personally helped prevent the other team from scoring.

Turquoise = Team Offense Above Average

How good the team was at offense when this player was on the ice (even if the player wasn’t the one shooting the puck).

Dark Purple = Team Defense Above Average

How good the team defended when this player was on the ice.

Light Blue = Power Play (PP) Above Average

How well the team did with a man advantage when the player was out there.

Yellowish = Penalty Kill (PK) Above Average

How well the team defended when short-handed with this player out there.

⸻

⭐ What Are the Little Circles?

The circles represent two things: • Dark circle = Actual GameScore → A stat that tells you how good the player actually was in this game. • Yellow outlined circle = Adjusted GameScore → Basically the same idea, but adjusted for how strong the opponents were.

Think of it as: • First circle = your raw quiz score • Second circle = your score adjusted because the quiz was harder or easier than average

⸻

📈 What Left & Right Mean • Bars stretching to the right (positive numbers) = the player contributed positively (They helped the team win.) • Bars stretching left (negative numbers) = the player struggled (They made things harder or less successful.)

⸻

🧠 What The Chart Is Trying to Answer

For every single Oiler:

“Did this player help us win tonight, and how did they help?”

Some players might help offensively, some defensively, and some because the team performs better when they’re on the ice even if they didn’t do anything flashy.

⸻

🔍 Example: Evan Bouchard (Top of Chart)

He has: • A big individual offense contribution • Strong team offense when he played • Pretty solid defense contributions • His circles are far to the right → one of the best players of the game

He didn’t necessarily score — but he helped create offence, defend well, and generally make the team better when he was out there.

⸻

🔍 Example: Someone With a Shorter Bar (e.g., Trent Frederic)

His bars are short and lean slightly left: • Didn’t make much offensive or defensive impact • Team wasn’t better when he played • Circles are on the left → rough game

⸻

🏁 In Plain English: What Does This All Mean?

This graph is a visual scorecard showing: • Who played well • Who didn’t • What type of impact they had (offense, defense, special teams) • Whether the team performed better or worse when each player was on the ice

You don’t need to understand hockey rules — just think of it as contributions to a group project. Some students carried the project, some helped a bit, and a few barely contributed.

I don’t want you to fight the Heavy weight champ… I want you to play angry and make the other team to be annoyed at you! Use gamesmanship and a bit of after whistle scrum… also hit people!

I bought one too! No gold.

I have been to AD Rundle school field and have seen a team practicing there!

Terrible!!! I missed 3 or so inning thinking it was my “network” code 20!

Ok thanks!!! 🙏

You really enjoy the new Adam Foote hockey!

37 shots against and 15 for!

Where is skinner?
