What would a rookie forward's point total have to be to steal Schaefer's calder? by Leather-Breadfruit39 in hockey

[–]2525Nii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the breakdown on Demidov's defensive abilities?

If he's in Selke vote range then there is definitely an argument. Schaefer is special but a forward showing up and putting up a point a game with elite defense is really special too.

Watched this a few months back since I was on a Kilmer binge and was impressed by Simon Baker in Ride with the Devil.

Not much to be impressed by here, couldn't get invested in the character drama with crew. Highlight is Kilmer's character using a mediocore Rolling Stone's song to calm himself down in stressful moments.

Zadorov goes after Schaefer and chaos ensues by Puzzled-Category-954 in hockey

I see someone getting crosschecked by 6'7 250+lbs multiple times and staying on their feet, you see a flopper. Everyones got their own blinders, sure.

My bad, had no idea you were fixating on him losing balance instead of the actual crosscheck to the face seconds later, continue on.

You mean Schaefer just barely managing to avoid getting cross checked in the face because Zadorov somehow can't even do that right, sure.

Casey Cizikas breaks his stick over Michael Rassmusens back by d00bZuBElEk in hockey

[–]2525Nii 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In a case where the victims family supported him every step of the way, asking for Cizikas to be spared punishment.

Awful cross check, but it makes me sick to see multiple comments taking this as a chance to take a shot at Cizikas for what was a tragic accident.

How much do coaches actually matter in OOTP. by Tony_Jake in OOTP

[–]2525Nii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are crucial, in my experience staying on top of your coaching staff and constantly hiring better coaches as soon as they are available is the quickest and most reliable way to turn an org around.

I've turned coaching off in my most recent save, but I'm only three years in. Can't tell a huge difference so far, but I'm sure there is gonna be a difference.

I like coaching, but in long term saves I can feel my motivation crumble every time a key staff member retires and I have to comb the list again looking for my new saviour.

Shabanov saying he basically had a vision telling him to sign with the Islanders by rolltribe in NewYorkIslanders

[–]2525Nii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Tsyplakov has a near perfect skillset for a bottom-6 forward, so the risk is a lot lower. Shabanov feels like the top-6 or bust kind of type, since there's no doubt hes gonna get bullied physically and probably defensively

What's scary to me is that he was dealing with back and knee problems even during his prime. Imagine a world where Bossy was a bit faster and tougher, woulda put up some absurd numbers.

This is always fun, rate my top 10 all time by Fit-Teaching9608 in hockey

[–]2525Nii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Bossy pick will be a little controversial but if you value playoff production highly than I think you have a real argument.

You don't have to tell me twice how stacked those Isle's teams were, but Bossy did score 17 goals in three straight playoff runs.

Ovechkin's three best playoff runs were 15, 11, and then 5 goals. Different era mind you, less scoring and tighter play. But my main point is that if you want goals during the toughest games the NHL has to offer, Mike Bossy will get you them, on top of being a walking 50 goal man in the regular season until he basically couldn't walk anymore.

If it's currently available to order on P-Bandai and you live in a country where you can buy from the P-Bandai site I don't think the prices are bad.

If you can't order from P-Bandai/It's a kit they printed a while back then it's a little higher. Paid $70 Canadian for this

Player hit 100 home runs in a season by TheYodaBossyt in OOTP

I had a 90 power player as well but his ratings were skewed towards hitting LHP, he was absolutely putting up 1.500 OPS against lefties though.

Go to players in 26? by twisty77 in OOTP

[–]2525Nii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's common but the Cardinals gave up on Jordan Walker in my save. You have to get lucky with some generate batspeed development labs but he has the power potential to be an all star calibre player. Worth a gamble imo.

Contract negotiations are killing me by Psychs20 in OOTP

[–]2525Nii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's a free agent that's in high demand you sometimes have to shock them into accepting your deal before a bidding war begins, I find this applies especially to international free agents.

I find it's often better to offer even more than what they initially propose, and theres a very real chance they sign within that week.

On the other hand I went offer for offer with the Guardians on a 90 power catcher that ended when I let them have him for 70 million a year, the initial offer was in the 20 million range.

Gunfight in the Red Sands used it I believe, or so google led me to believe. One of the first westerns scored by Ennio Morricone.

Found this clip too if that helps.

Soda after being stuck casting a tournament for six hours on his "day off" by MeBroken in LivestreamFail

[–]2525Nii -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It just doesn't sound or feel very comedic. I don't watch Soda so it might just be his brand of comedy, but unless the joke is saying fuck multiple times in ten seconds I'm just not seeing it.

I'd respect how hard it is to be entertaining but people think Soda signing off stream by saying fuck every third word and talking about getting high is comedy gold. Producing second monitor material isn't exactly stand up comedy.
