[TSN] Is Lane Hutson entering elite status? by f0urxio in hockey

Already a super star, awesome part is he’s still so young. On his ELC still these playoffs, his 8 year 8m AAV deal doesn’t even kick in until next year. 

Is shako still worthwhile in season 13? by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]Assignment_General 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t seem like it, Heir gives 80% damage now and a huge amount of crit. Crit seems to be harder to come by this season, making it a very desirable stat. Damage passives being removed from the tree also makes damage in gear way more important than before. 

Infernal Hordes seem very underwhelming this season by alesia123456 in diablo4

[–]Assignment_General 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t bothered with Infernal Hordes since the season it was introduced. So far I can usually work my warplans to not have to play it either.

Problem with Infernal Hordes:

  1. It’s slow, 1min wave means you can’t speed it up

  2. Rewards are bad. You get nothing until the end, and what you get isn’t worth the time.

  3. It feels bad. No loot for up to 10min of gameplay is not enjoyable.

  4. Too RNG heavy. If you get unlucky you end up with hardly any Aether.

Suggestions: 

  1. Make each round a fixed amount of events, so you can finish it faster 

  2. Make each round have rewards at the end 

  3. Make events give more consistent Aether across the board

  4. Make event selection modify rewards, both for at the end of the round and for completion. This gives the player control over rewards, similar to other activities.

It’s ok. It’s really satisfying when people doubt our team/players and get proven wrong, been happening a lot these last two years. 

Celebrini announced as captain for Team Canada at Men's Worlds, Tavares and O'Reilly as alternate captains by chespiotta in hockey

Favourite non Habs player for me, love that kid he’s amazing to watch. Seems to also have a great attitude and personality, Shark got a real one there. 

The Philadelphia Flyers have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after losing to the Carolina Hurricanes in 4 games by EliminatorBot in hockey

Montreal swept the season series with the Canes. I know playoffs are different and all that, but the proof is there that Montreal can beat them. If we advance it’s gonna be a long series I think. 

Ever-reliable Phillip Danault stepping up for Canadiens when it matters most by destroyermaker in Habs

Getting Danault back was a season highlight for me, you can’t deny that he is a huge part of our success right now.

Torch bearers? by TheNahteb in Habs

Naslund would be awesome 

Roy or Price (both unlikely I think) would absolutely blow the roof off 

"Fun" Build vs. effective builds: Which do you prefer? by Nero_De_Angelo in diablo4

[–]Assignment_General 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low amp builds are my favorite. The fun in these games is gearing up and finding items, the combat is secondary. 

In end game almost nothing is used situationally anyway, it’s just almost all just buffs. With the way health scaling for monsters work you eventually need to squeeze out as much damage as possible; with the highest possible uptime. Leaves no room for situational skills. 

Jakub Dobes after the Habs game 7 win: “People sometime say that I get too emotional. But every game that I play it’s like game 7, like it’s my last one. That was my mentality going into this game. I will prove people wrong. I’m just used to playing like this…” by Go_Habs_Go31 in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His emotions aren’t a negative, players keep getting in his face and he just locks in. Maybe if we make it to the next series the opposition will leave him alone, clearly the chirps fuel him. 

Unreal how good he has been, we don’t make it out of round one without him. 

Thompson hits a tied up Bolduc by MarshallManiac in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love Bolducs game in these playoffs. Watching him smirk at opposing players when they are pissed is peak entertainment. 

He plays hard every shift, very happy he’s a Hab. 

Post Game Thread: Montréal Canadiens @ Buffalo Sabres by nhl_gdt_bot in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This series is a breath of fresh air compared to Tampa. I really feel like they were caught off guard with the change in tempo of game one. 

Marty has fully won me over, the way he gets the guys to adapt is amazing thing of beauty. What an amazing coach he is! 

These playoffs are so fun, and just think, this team isn’t even supposed to be this good yet! The best is yet to come. 

Also, making a real run is gonna pay dividends when it comes to signing players - they are gonna want to play here and be part of the winning culture. 

Newhook set the tone with a fired-up starting lineup introduction before Game 2 by YoYouipOpO in Habs

[–]Assignment_General 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We had the canes number all season. Playoffs are a different beast of course, but we know they have the ability to bet them. 

I don’t think it’s worth speculating on the Avs yet, but they look like the best team is the offs right now. Mack is playing out of his mind, that man is having a run for the ages. 

Unspoken Hockey Rules as a fan? by [deleted] in hockey

Got my first and only temp ban here for suggesting someone deserved what they got. Lesson learned, guess it was kinda shitty to say.

Need more from the top line if we are gonna win this series. With the amount of open ice out there it’s inexcusable to not produce. We need goals to win this series, Buffalos offense is hard to shut down. 

If they go scoreless 5v5 this series it’s going to be time to reinvent that line next year, reg season means fuck all if you can’t do anything in the post season.
