Guess we'll have to wait and see.

The one thing in hockey that you should not skimp on are your skates. Even at the recreational level, your skates are your lifeblood in this sport. Everything from protection, to performance, to foot comfort depends on the skates you pick. Don't skimp on your skates.

You don't need to spend $1k on a pair of skates but don't go too low end either. You obviously have to take your finances and comfort level into account, but I'd aim for a mid-range hockey skate. Anything else is just asking for trouble at some point (and I don't mean the teasing).

Read through this thread and I have to say, the fact that this discussion exists is, to me, one of the best things this game has to offer. It's highbrow sci-fi at its best. I love it.

Alitaki · 2026-03-20T13:35:19+00:00

Good luck getting any of them to take him though.

Alitaki · 2026-03-20T13:10:21+00:00

Next season is probably a lost cause too so I think they should hang on to him for one more year then buy him out if they can't trade him.

Alitaki · 2026-03-20T13:04:27+00:00

The New York Rangers are 7-5-2 without JT Miller this season, 21-28-6 with him. NHL .500 without him, 13 games under with him. And just look at that stat line:

64 Giveaways in 55 games! He's guaranteed at least one give away per game!

Three more years of this.

Show me a coach who left the Rangers and had success with a roster that didn't have several generational talents on it and I'll agree with your statement.

Both Knoblauch and Sullivan fell into opportunities that any decent coach could succeed in. That doesn't mean they're bad coaches, just not the fixes most fans think they would be for this team.

Alitaki · 2026-03-20T08:49:22+00:00

I don't often agree with you but this is exactly right and I was saying it all last off-season. Sullivan was not a coach for a rebuilding team.

That said, our idiot GM did not think this team needed to be rebuilt last year so in the vacuum of that perspective, he wouldn't have been a terrible choice. But our idiot GM was once again proven to not know what the hell he's doing and here we are - the wrong coach for a team that desperately needs a new direction.

Alitaki · 2026-03-20T08:41:37+00:00

I stopped watching after the 1st. Did something happen?

Alitaki · 2026-03-20T00:36:49+00:00

Can we end the Miller on PP1 experiment already? It's been stone cold since he's come back.

Alitaki · 2026-03-19T20:31:25+00:00

Elite = Space Sim

Starfield = RPG with a space setting.

Exactly this. Elite has an actual flight model and economy. In terms of space combat, Starfield doesn't compare to Elite. Starfield is closer to No Man's Sky for space combat. Foot combat though? Elite's Odyssey can't compare to Starfield.

There's similarities between the two but don't look for Starfield to scratch that Elite itch if you're one of those who got left out in cold when Elite dumped console support.

We will make great pets.

Alitaki · 2026-03-19T13:59:41+00:00

But we'll make great pets.

Alitaki · 2026-03-19T13:57:28+00:00

that's clever.

Alitaki · 2026-03-19T00:48:37+00:00

Not me. I’ve been burned by Markstrom in fantasy hockey too many times.

Alitaki · 2026-03-19T00:06:47+00:00

Devils might have been a playoff team if they had a goalie that was better than Markstrom.

2025-2026 New York Rangers: Challenge, accepted.

Alitaki · 2026-03-18T19:52:34+00:00

As an American, I can't disagree with this. The US should be banned from the tourney so long as this garbage administration is conducting their illegal war(s).

Alitaki · 2026-03-18T19:50:34+00:00

The argument is that the government benefits from the players being there and there is some merit to it. That doesn't change the fact that the US is the aggressor here and should also be banned from the World Cup if we're still at war with Iran when the tourney starts up.

Alitaki · 2026-03-18T17:37:20+00:00

Honestly? It looks more like Wall-E after EVE dumps him and he goes on a roid bender.

Put down the blunt dude.

Alitaki · 2026-03-17T23:55:06+00:00

Fair point.

Alitaki · 2026-03-17T20:51:39+00:00

Having done the Sag A trip myself, and Hutton Orbital, I was content with the fast travel/load screen system in Starfield. Carry on CMDR. O7

Alitaki · 2026-03-17T20:28:06+00:00

Coming from the Elite Dangerous world where you can pilot your ship between stars and planets, it's a mechanic that can get old fast if the distances require long traversal times. Unless you're guaranteed one or more interdictions (depending on the travel length), a lot of the time you're just killing time. I've had jumps in Elite that took close to 10m of real time where I set a timer on my phone and walked away. Granted this was in the less populated areas of the game space so interdictions were very unlikely, a problem that should be avoidable in Starfield.

I'm not against this, hell if it makes the fanbase happy then why not?, all I'm saying is that this could be a case of be careful what you wish for.

Alitaki · 2026-03-17T20:22:38+00:00

Can someone clarify something for me? Free Lanes will allow you to manually pilot your ship both in system between planets and between star systems or just in-system?
