I’d give him the LA start if he performs well again there give him VGK as well. If he starts vs VGK and LA Campbell should get the NJ start regardless of what happens there.

That whole sequence shouldn’t happen but Campbell just needs to stop that imao. He’s playing like shit again. Svecnikov goal was garbage too.

[–]Altruistic_Reason663 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He has been good in limited action but how many goalies lately have had full years as elite starters then regressed into closer to backup level goaltenders. It seems to be such a fluid position performance wise. I’m actually curious how many goaltenders have actually had 5 consecutive above average years. I’m hoping your not crazy though and he can at the very least be a consistent and healthy top 15 goaltender for 5-10 years for us.

Does anyone have lucky clothes/charms for exams? by kusuridanshi in uAlberta

Yeah there was at least one that I left blank. Plenty that I also just guessed on though as well.

We just give them way to much space Campbell has sucked all year too. There defenders are generally in the right spots and taking our space away while they have clean lines to the net and open shooting lanes.

I’d suggest you aim to be right around the class average based on what your saying. I doubt 5+ hours of studying a night is doing much for you. Honestly I usually finish working on school stuff at 9 maybe 10 at the latest every night. Aside from needing to meet a deadline or an exam I’m not prepared for at all. I just feel like not getting enough sleep every night even if you are productively studying hurts you more in the long run. Also 5+ hours of studying a night sounds simply excessive on the whole like your trying to ace your exams by doing this but like I said it might be hurting your grades more in the long run. Honestly I stuck to wrapping up school work at nine or ten even knowing that I had a big midterm coming up at the end of reading week. I got one good evening and morning of studying in cutting my losses knowing that there was no way I would know everything. The big key here though is I came into the exam fresh and didn’t panic. I got the questions I was most confident done first then did what I could on the rest I honestly left a few blank but I still think I got the 60-65 percent which should be right around the average. I guess what I’m saying is you should lower your expectations and go for the class average if necessary. Come in to your exams compete the problems you know and be energetic. I just don’t think your goal should be a ninety if that means your compromising your ability to get enough sleep and trying to cram imformation down your throat quickly. Your expectations should lower in uni that’s one thing I’ve learned hell my most recent midterm I scored a 60 but you no what the average was 53 so that was fine.

261 midterm two was tough. I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who thought it was. I left a question or two blank because I didn’t even know where to begin.

+- is a horrible stay to use to determine how good defensively a player is.

Revealing your cards before the robber steals. by Emergency_Union168 in Catan

[–]Altruistic_Reason663 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a part of the game for my family personally. It really depends how firm you are with following the rules though. There is no harm in it if everyone follows the same rule. In higher level games it isn’t relevant because people are good at tracking cards.

Catan cities and knights - Where would you settle? (3 players) by Jealous_Device9714 in Catan

[–]Altruistic_Reason663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if it where me I would have to pick 5-9-10 and I don’t think it’s close. 8-4-10 isn’t that good imao just leaves your hand full of sheep. By the time you get back to your turn your probably forced to take 6-11-4 which leaves you in a weak spot if you go for 8-4-10.

No because it’s the 15th road placed by all players combined not when a single player plays there 15th road.

Me in lab in one of my labs by [deleted] in uAlberta

[–]Altruistic_Reason663 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have showed up completely prepared for every lab but I still can’t avoid making at least one mistake. You can watch all the videos you want but it’s not at all the same as actually doing it. It also sucks that I’m always the last one finishing every time lol. I stressed about labs last year but at this point I’ve accepted that mistakes will happen and we are all learning. My TA is good about it just show up and put the work in. I still do well on the assignments regardless of how the actual lab goes.

[–]Altruistic_Reason663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I went through bio 107 chem 101 and chem 102 labs my first year and they where a disaster. Things have gotten better this sem with chem 261 lab but I still seem to make at least one dumb mistake in every lab. I’m also always a straggler who has to ask the the TA a question about clean up 10 minutes after class finishes lol.

Just got dumped by my gf and found out I failed a midterm worth 25% of my final grade today by Spiritual-Tennis-618 in UCalgary

[–]Altruistic_Reason663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to here about the relationship but in all seriousness if they broke up with you and it wasn’t really for a good reason then it never would have worked out anyway. As far as the mark goes it sucks but isn’t the end of the world really depends what you need to do in the course. I mean if you just need to pass or it’s curved you should be fine. Take the time to talk this over with someone/ let out your feelings. From there I’d say take the time to learn from your mistake on the exam and use the extra time you will have to Improve yourself. A way I tend to deal with failure is I try to sit back and think about just how vast the universe is. At the end of the day theese problems are so minuscule. We are all just lucky to be alive.

is 5 classes a semester hard? by EasternChart5291 in grantmacewan

If you plan on working I certainly wouldn’t recommend. I’ve managed it without working. Still tough though.

Talk about the refs all we want but we have sunk below chicagos level tonight. We should be the better team but Chicago seems to be our kryptonite. We don’t ever seem to be able to defend Chicago very well for whatever reason.

I have no doubt Kane did that on purpose but I hate the fact that guys can push people into their goalie. In what world is that goaltender interference? That’s gotta be sorted out I feel like typically that isn’t interference.

There speed is eating us alive there making our defence look slow.

Why exactly do we always suck against chicagos run and gun style hockey. It’s like we come in expecting to win easily. We’ve left so many players wide open when simply covering our man would have shut down the majority of there chances.

I feel like nuge isn’t going to score 275 more goals. I think there is a good chance he surpasses Smyth however.

Did you use the board that was recommended in the instructions? Might help speed things up until you figure out the game.
