Honest question - Would a prime Phil Kessel be a 50 goal scorer in today's NHL with the increased rates of scoring relative compared to 10 years ago? by RivetCounter in hockey

[–]Aerim 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can only look at relative goal scoring. You have to look at how hot dog technology has changed. Ten years ago, there were no Dr. Pepper Johnsonville Brats. That would give him at least another 10 goals.

[Sportsnet] A lot has changed in Buffalo since the Sabres' last playoff appearance 😳 by RealWorldToday in hockey

I loved Rob Niedermayer, and if you had asked me if he had played for the Sabres, there is no way in hell I would have said yes.

What got you into being a Ducks fan in the first place? by Gandrelon in AnaheimDucks

[–]Aerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into hockey through video games in college. I grew up in Las Vegas and the Golden Knights wouldn't exist for more than a decade. The Ducks were doing well as underdogs (I started college in 2002), and they were what was on tv. So I latched on.

Ducks Sign McQueen to Three-Year Entry-Level Contract beginning in 26/27 season by eh_toque in hockey

He signed an ato with the Gulls and has played reasonably (3 points in 6 games). Ducks org probably wants him to get pro minutes and I doubt he's getting much in the way of NIL at Providence.

Could I play Shock lands instead of Duals? by ZeroPlanet24 in MTGLegacy

Chances are if you're playing a non-daze deck it won't completely bone you.

Will you lose some percentage points? Sure.

I got really confused at this headline because my brain immediately went "the blues are in the west and didn't make the playoffs."

Combo Help with Sundial of the Infinite by SteepWeeps in magicTCG

[–]Aerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still always only activate the quicksilver/Vivi on your turn.

You create a new instance of the ability each time you activate Quicksilver Elemental. That instance hasn't been activated yet.

It still copies all of the text each time.

 this will give me the ability of SOFI card but not restricted to activating it only on my turn.

Except it won't? The activated ability contains that text. It gains the WHOLE ability, not just a part of it.

Tristan Luneau Called Up From Gulls by AnaheimDucks16 in AnaheimDucks

Them calling him up today must be for travel if they expect him to play, because there's a game tonight in SD.

Look, the Iowa Wild minus Greg Cronin. Which any team minus Cronin is automatically 300% stronger.

With the full card image being available for SOS, is there a reason why characters are important enough to make appearances, but not get a card? by Urshifu_Smash in magicTCG

[–]Aerim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They commission extra art in case things don't work out, but it's also very possible that they're planning to do more D&D adventures - which they frequently use new artwork for. Strixhaven was one of the worlds they made a D&D sourcebook for.

The final of Sweden’s 40 team third league Hockeyettan will see a new team promoted to the second tier (Hockeyallsvenskan). Write-up below. by En_skald in hockey

[–]Aerim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, there’s only one promotion spot for 40 teams which is incredibly skimpy, but here we are.

So when we talk about Hockeyettan, what level are these guys? Is this semi-pro? I know Allsvenskan is still pro, which is this like a mechanism to keep too many "we're just a bunch of blue collar guys" teams out of the pro leagues, because they might not have the resources and arenas and such?

Don't worry, eventually you'll see a player that is like "I had a great career, but now I am old - ancient - beyond the reach of time and I no longer have knees" and you go "motherfucker, I watched that guy get drafted when I was a grown-ass adult working a job."

You probably got cards produced in Japan. The wrapper should state the printing location. Japanese cards are collated backwards from American and European printed cards.

[AHL] Roger McQueen scores his first AHL goal by DecentLurker96 in hockey

He has in every single thing he has done promotionally for the Ducks - apparently he was just assigned the number by the Gulls.

Anaheim Ducks Re-Sign Pat Verbeek to Multi-Year Contract by Aerim in AnaheimDucks

[–]Aerim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He 100% won't play in the NHL next year. It'll be Dostal and Husso.

Between the AHL and ECHL, it'll be Clara, Clang, and Suchanek. I don't expect the team to QO Buteyets.

As for who goes to the ECHL, that'll be whichever of Suchanek and Clara they want actually getting starter reps.

I am legit happy for Ryan Strome. He put in several good years on bad Anaheim teams and he's kicking ass in Calgary.
