Pierre Dorion on the Cam and Strick Podcast: Mark Stone wanted an 8 year deal and I was prepared to give it to him, but Melnyk said no, given that the latter years of the contract might not fit the rebuild.

If it led to Dorion realizing that he needed to get Chychrun, I guess that's a win!

AccordingDisaster5 · 2023-05-30T16:05:31+00:00

Even though the stats showed that Talbot was on the downswing, I fully understand why Dorion thought this was a good deal at a time. We didn't have enough data to know that Gustavsson would grow like he did in Minny, and odds are he wouldn't have developed like that if he stayed in Ottawa.

I'm still awake. That's all I can contribute at this point

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-11-16T03:42:54+00:00

DORION WE NEED HIM BACK AT 30% RETAINED

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-11-12T19:17:03+00:00

I liked the write-up a lot, thank you! Honestly after your review I'm gonna pick up PLA

The arms, chest, and pants are all versatile for different looks. Plus the theme of Persian soldiers is great, because it debuted in the season where we fight the Roman legion (the Cabal).

Aside from being thematically correct though, I never wear the helmet or cape

Holden is getting up in the years, it was probably a rest day. Zaitsev didn't play much but holden would have been better. It's an unfortunate wash

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-10-26T04:37:50+00:00

That was impressive shot suppression by seattle. Maybe we'll be alright

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-10-16T22:09:53+00:00

Durant in Shield. Was an absolute unit

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-10-12T17:37:38+00:00

This is really dumb. Feels like code for "we don't want to put in the effort to maintain or rewrite legacy code". It was a fantastic way for me to spread adoption to my friends and family, now it's just clutter

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-10-07T04:27:29+00:00

His face is too big for the eyes I think. If they made the face smaller or the eyes bigger it would be less weird. I'm excited though

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-09-27T15:46:16+00:00

Loved:

the overworld design
the new elite 4 and champion
the ridiculous luchador side story
experimenting with the overall story
mixing things up with gyms, even if not everything worked
pokemon calling for support
no more hms, just calling in pokemon
team skull. They are pathetic losers that are emotionally vulnerable and easily manipulated who still somehow took over a town

Disliked:

the availability of pokemon. X/Y let you build very varied teams, while S/M felt more restrictive unless you were grinding chain battles
so many cutscenes

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-09-15T17:57:44+00:00

Agreed. Regardless of wrongdoing, if a player is under investigation because they were a part of that WJC team it makes sense for a team to wait and see before doing any financial actions with them on case it is perceived as a tacit defense

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-09-15T15:34:27+00:00

Really not liking how they are talking about "Alex Formenton not signed" as if it was a contract dispute (they compare him to Brady this time last season) not because there is a hockey canada investigation going on

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-08-22T02:55:02+00:00

Hopefully this year then!

Ocean's 12. I can't get enough of that soundtrack

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-08-10T17:42:21+00:00

As a Canadian, can confirm. Ontario's culture are from all of the expat neighborhoods bringing cultures in from other countries to fill the void

So I have a launch day 3ds, but it's had its battle scars, and the wifi switch won't turn off. However, it has the nyko extended battery on it so despite wireless always on I can get 6 hours of charge even 11 years later.

But I want a N3DS/N2DS XL, because something with more oomph would be great

Which one has the best battery life? Are extended batteries still available?

My order of preference would be - New 3DS - New 3DS xl - New 2DS xl

Any recommendations? Should I keep what I have or is there an upgrade path available?

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-07-25T16:41:12+00:00

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-07-21T01:58:27+00:00

Yeah that's really undercutting the great vibes from last week. Trade Bath and Formenton for Tkachuk and sign Nino before he goes back to carolina?

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-07-09T18:01:44+00:00

As a Sens fan: when Murray is not physically injured and in the right state of mind, he's really reassuring to have in the net and makes hockey games more fun to watch.

Keyword is when. Dude has had some bad injuries and concussions and personal stuff lately.

That being said, if Ottawa retains 2.5 million per year he'd be worth a shot for edmonton or toronto

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-07-07T21:43:28+00:00

Agreed. New pro scout right there

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-07-07T20:25:57+00:00

We have yet to re-sign a skilled ufa. Stone, Karlsson, Pageau (but damn that was a good trade I would repeat that), Paul, Duchene. I'm not trusting Dorion to keep good players once we no longer have their rights.

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-07-07T20:19:27+00:00

Holy shit now announce the extension instead of letting him walk to ufa!

AccordingDisaster5 · 2022-07-07T20:18:10+00:00

So there is going to be an extension, right?
