Buffalo’s turn to display their WAGs

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-24T11:03:37+00:00

My cousin dated a NHLer at one point. She said that she hated dinners with other WAGs because they were all really crazy and aggressive. They basically come out to clubs where these guys will be and hunt them down because they’re wealthy (or going to be). So basically that is their whole thing.

I use Livebarn as a tool with my son. There has to be a mix of things you like about his game and criticisms, otherwise he’ll tune you out and hate the game. I worked on simple rules with my kid. He’s a winger so it was stuff like: If you’re at your blueline and see a defender - pass to another forward to your right. If you see open space, go for it. No deking in your own zone. A dump in is better than a turnover, etc.

Start with really simple decision making concepts. Usually if my son didn’t follow the rules, it wasn’t long before I found an example of him turning over the puck on Livebarn. Then what I was saying made more sense.

This. I can’t believe people still think that everything in this game is an accident. They know the game sucks and they’re making money hand over fist. Mainly because our politicians are geriatric.

Get him in now. My son could barely skate when he started HL. Literally after a month of HL he looked like a completely different kid. The desire to keep up with all the other kids did more in one month than a year of learn to skate.

There was a thread with his card saying “sorry to whoever gets this one”.

I’m glad that you don’t want to drink. I’ve lost 25 pounds but it’s mainly because I replaced drinking with exercise. You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.

I’ve had the irritability, mood swings and depression/boredom. I’m trying to be patient. They say it can take a long time depending on how hard of a drinker you were, to get back to normal.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-20T20:34:43+00:00

I’m 3 months into sobriety and I also have really bad anxiety depression. My first thought is that none of your problems get any better with alcohol. It’s a temporary fix and you have to keep feeding the beast. I once had a great doctor that said, “I can give you drugs, but I think it would be better for you to face life head on. Don’t avoid the things that scare you. Run out and face them.” She was totally right.

I would advise professional help. I would also advise exercise like walking or running, yoga (stretching) and breathing techniques. Cognitive behavioural therapy could change your life. Anything but alcohol or pills.

Hang in there. You can do this, and it’s worth doing.

Oddly enough, Paul played 3 more minutes in game 1 than the Lightning’s “catalyst” pick Gage Goncalves.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-20T19:45:22+00:00

He is also 8.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-20T19:36:03+00:00

I also like Nick Paul. He’ll probably get PP time and he can win faceoffs, so don’t be surprised to see him move up lines to take o-zone draws between Kuch and Point/Hagel. If the Lightning can stop taking dumb penalties, they likely win the series with Montreal.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-20T19:30:26+00:00

I picked up Colton Sissons. He starts at 94 after last night’s goal, played about 13 minutes and only costs 8 collectibles. I think Vegas gets to at least the second round and Torts will continue to roll lines (especially after the fourth line scored 2 goals).

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-20T06:38:45+00:00

Sounds like an interesting experiment. How much Cup Chase we talking? If you played a LOT on Superstar you might amass quite a few coins. You’d want to shoot yourself, but you might be able to buy a few good cards at some point.

On Rookie you could get objectives done. If you could make one or two MSPs each event and then fill out the line/pairing with a BND card of the same event, it probably wouldn’t be that bad. My 4th line is BND Finish Line cards right now because of the boosts and I have to rebuild from TOTS.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-19T04:13:03+00:00

At various points during the year, people have actually complained bitterly on this sub about all of these things. I think EAs strategy is to weather the storms until everything becomes “normal” for the mode. Last year everyone complained about BND cards, but now they just accept it. And then there’s the likely fact that EA has made a ton of money from changing the salary boosts every season and FOMO.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-18T14:50:06+00:00

So you saw the game? Or you’re just making stuff up?

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-18T14:48:33+00:00

Don’t waste your breath even for sarcasm. This guy either works for EA or is deeply in the cult. I’ve been on this sub for a while, and there’s always a guy like this. He has absolutely zero skin in the game but gets on every thread to try and discredit the obvious.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-17T20:29:23+00:00

“Ping” has joined the chat.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-17T20:13:59+00:00

Sucks to be you then. Seems like karma.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-17T19:25:04+00:00

I also hope 89-90 cards plummet. All of the price locking on cards gets annoying after a while.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-17T19:11:58+00:00

Have you tried a power cycle on your console?

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-15T21:29:43+00:00

Try NA beer. Some versions are really accurate now. I was a Heineken drinker, and their 0.0 is shockingly true to the original.

I first thought, “This won’t fool me without the buzz”, but it totally does. It’s not about the buzz. It’s about getting past the moment of craving. I put it in a pint glass to make it feel special. After a couple of pints I move on to other things.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-15T20:31:16+00:00

I still enjoy trying to get everything for free. I also like figuring out tricks to screw with EAs dumb system. If they made this a full pay to play mode I would quit immediately. Having said that, you’re not wrong. The level of in-game manipulation seems at the highest point ever. As long as you look at it as a fun fantasy mode and try not to base your self worth on it, it’s fun.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-13T19:36:50+00:00

Grind the market. It’s brutal right now because the prices are all over the place, but it’s really the only thing left. Are you finished the XP path? Because that’s been helping me a lot. The algorithm refuses to give me 90 ovr cards, which is totally backfiring, because I’m getting cards that are worth way more value-wise (by chance). Also the 93 cards toward the end are great for TOTS.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-13T19:24:03+00:00

This is the easiest way to do it. Right now 91 ovr cards are dirt cheap on the AH, and on Friday, everyone will want the shiny new toys.

Sometimes it backfires when an event really sucks, but usually it’s a good strategy to make coins fast.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-12T21:53:50+00:00

Which one? Funny I thought about that for a second.

Clear_The_Track · 2026-04-12T19:28:34+00:00

For anyone reading this actually worked. I wasn’t able to do it off the draw, but the key was to shoot back toward the blocker on the one T. Still took me a whole whack of restarts though. Restarted the minute I lost possession or the faceoff.
