The Official Post-Bitch 2025-26 Regular Season Thread

Maybe he had nothing to do with it, but I had a Wendy’s burger a few months ago and it was noticeably better than the previous version I had years ago

I'm gonna give Chayka credit for that. Just like I choose to believe Scott White was responsible for Jason Robertson and not Lybushkin.


Chayka made Wendy's great again.

 

[Preston]

But again I say... If it's between White and Chayka, I think I choose Chayka. White feels like the only pure old school traditional type in Dallas management. He's not a data guy at all.

Don’t think any of the hockey media criticized the Treliving hire.

He has still barely gotten criticized even after the mess he created.

They protect the people who feed them info. Look at the reaction to the Dubas firing. All of the guys who were his insiders threw tantrums.

I picked up a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's today in honor of the new GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Literally the only reason why I bothered. It's shit. But I assume it was worse before and Chayka improved it through a data driven process.

So, because I'm data centric I actually took a look at google reviews of his Wendy's restaurants (he owns 50 of them now, and 5 Tim's, not the 12 we had seen mentioned before. It's right on his website #data) vs other areas and the average ratings of a Wendy's on google is 3.73 stars. The average of his are just under 4.

But I'm pretty sure that just him review bombing because he understands how to make analytics work for him.

Bottom line: That chicken sandwich isn't getting any better.

that makes zero sense.

 

[leafman101]

Unless he is president.

 

[worm]

Unless he is president.

Which also makes zero sense

 

[hockeylover]

i also do not get it at all.

 

[Preston]

"Larger role" sure feels like it could only mean one thing doesn't it

 

[Feyd]

As this process moves forward it feels like either: the "insiders" are getting credible leaks and this process is a total gong show, OR now that Tre is gone MLSE in full clamp down mode and all these leaks are intentional misdirection. Pray it's the 2nd scenario.

 

[hockeylover]

I suppose they'd be going for a Sakic/Yzerman thing, it just seems a bit odd to me that it's 17 years after he retired having never worked in hockey in any capacity after that, that I can see?

 

[hockeylover]

Mind you even though I know nothing about Mats Sundin's thoughts about building a hockey team I'm fairly confident he couldn't do as poorly as Treliving.
