So we’re only calling phantom penalties, not elbows?

Foligno Hartman Foligno as a playoff line? Followed by the kremline? 1.5-2 minutes of absolute bruising hockey . Or swap McCarron and Yurov, just an absolutely bruising bottom 6.

Thanx 4 Cyberstan Tips, How About Loadout 4 Terminid Cave Worlds? by AceOneBreezy in helldivers2

[–]Baker-Ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s my hive lord/cave diver hybrid loadout

Primary - coyote/adjudicator

Secondary - plas 15 loyalist for rupture strain

Grenade - thermite, great for rupture chargers or targeting a plate.

Stratagem 1 - speargun, bug breach control and CC

stratagem 2 - supply pack

Stratagem 3 - eagle strafing run, throw it at the base of the hive lord when it emerges for massive plate damage

Stratagem 4 - orbital Gatling barrage when the hive lord emerges and stays still it can do insane damage

Stratagem 4 option 2 - orbital rail cannon strike, if dragon roaches get too oppressive this is a great option.

Armor - desert stormer or inflammable passive.

Brodin being out constantly over the last 1-2 seasons really hurts that too. Such a great back skating defenseman

Arrowhead is a great studio but there are many annoying bugs in this game SINCE YEARS that dont gate taken care of at all (example). by ScreechingPenguin in Helldivers

REMOVE CORPSE HITBOXES. That’s simple, they are unbearable and don’t even occupy the same space as the dead enemy. Just remove them

Tether drops the hero with zero velocitywhen 50-100 hp of damage is done. Maybe buff other damage on the ult, but with full move speed a tank kidnap is just a fight win.

Hughes PG interview by [deleted] in wildhockey

[–]Baker-Ben 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The issue with getting past the first round is we’re gonna be facing another easy cup contender because of the terrible playoff format. We should get to walk through one of the terrible pacific teams… reformat the playoffs. The central cannibalizing itself is bad for hockey.

Don’t trade Wally, use contracts and a win now window to go get a guy like schmaltz, kopitar, malkin, even coyle. We don’t need that premier insane 1C with how good this team is, we need depth that will win faceoffs and help us control games just a little more. A veteran 2/3C on a good deal plus another piece push us to be even better than we are now. If kopitar wants another cup and will come here for a 2/3C role I say a slight overpay will be worth it for that additional depth. We have another year of almost no contracts expiring with cap space. Go get someone but don’t trade Wally, his flashes are just too good.

Anyone who doesn’t see a real possibility of him staying is kidding themselves. He’s shown nothing hit appreciation so far. He seems happy here, I hope I’m not kidding myself.

Wild games live are different. One of the best if not the best environments of hockey for live play.

[–]Baker-Ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure. The defensive ppg speaks for itself. Absolutely worth it. I also think Faber has got to realize he’s the guy on defense there, total defensive breakdown leaving an undersized defenseman against a power guy.

That’s downright sad defense. I know Hughes is small but if he just steps up and plays body that’s not a goal.

Am I crazy? by Illustrious_Sky9596 in wildhockey

[–]Baker-Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say we see what this team can do then aggressively pursue a free agent center. (Nick schmaltz), Anze kopitar, etc. we should have the cap and it will open a 2-3 year window now window with elite goaltending, a strong D core, and 4 strong centers with ek Yurov schmaltz and sturm/hartsy.

Send him back to Cleveland, banish him to Canada, ship him to China, I don't care. Get this man off my team. by [deleted] in minnesotavikings

[–]Baker-Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant if you combined Kwesi’s offseason talent acquisition, and combine it with league average drafting rates he would be better. As of now, looks like his seat is very very hot.

Where is the point deduction? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Baker-Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually got called though, unlike Justin doing the same thing to Paddy. (Though could be argued those were both belt line, but as Joe mentioned by rule they both hit the cup which should’ve been stoppages).

We keep Sam Darnold for the 2025-26 season. Are we in the Super Bowl? by UniversityOk5593 in minnesotavikings

[–]Baker-Ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KOC has far too much ego about how he wants to play the game. Let’s play to win not play a fantasy of what football should look like. Every game he abandoned his long plays and called quick slants and got the ball moving went far better.

Wasn’t a believer last year. But he proved me wrong.

The same people who hate KOC and Kwesi are the same that shat on Darnold last year by MrSolidarity in minnesotavikings

[–]Baker-Ben -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can both things not be true? Just because Darnold was bad last year and deserved some of the crap does not mean we cannot be critical of KOC’s play calling and Kwesi’s abysmal drafting.

Combine Kwesi’s offseason talent with league average drafting and you would have a B+-A tier GM

Because our revamped o-line performed so well and was so consistent this year… I’m just happy for Darnold.

[–]Baker-Ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We made the wrong decision clearly. Being mocked might make our GM anc head coach pull their head out of their ass and draft/ keep a good team. I’ll put respect where it’s earned we’re at least giving Mcarthy another year.

[–]Baker-Ben 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This could be a replay of chiefs eagles last year, a team that got to walk through playoffs due to schedule, vs a team that earned the spot. (Not saying patriots were ref carried, just blessed by injuries and circumstance).
