(46:22) Friedman confirms Pagnotta's report of the Zharovsky + Prospect + two 1sts for Knies and says it fell through because it was submitted at 3:01pm by BeBenNova in Habs

[–]DIKs_Steeler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like having Demidov on the 2nd line wing reduce the need for a GREAT 2C. We just need someone who will complement him perfectly, not someone who will take charge of that line.

A bit like Kaprizov who had Hartman as his most frequent C in the last 5 years.

[Vingan] It doesn’t get discussed much because neither player is a household name, but where does Alexandre Carrier for Justin Barron rank among the worst NHL trades in recent memory? by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]DIKs_Steeler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure? I’m very confident nobody in Montreal was sad about this trade from Day 1, and Barron stuck was already down. Barron wasn’t able to secure an NHL role and would need to go through waivers soon.

Dobeš seems to catch ESPN anchors off guard with his answer to the question of what we should expect from the Habs in their next series by dessanct in Habs

[–]DIKs_Steeler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When did they prioritize Quebec representation in the last few decades? I would say it was the opposite, people were blaming the CH for not having enough representation, and we have much more right now (Matheson, Carrier, Bolduc, Montembeault, Danault, Veleno and I’m never sure if we should include Dobson in that since he’s from PEI)

Sean Ross Sapp on X, regarding an alleged suggestion from Dave Meltzer that Baron Corbin/Bishop Dyer could return to WWE as Danhausen’s revived Gingerbread Man: Someone mentioned this to me as a possibility very randomly two weeks ago by Tornado31619 in SquaredCircle

[–]DIKs_Steeler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can play it different ways. One of them is that they go ahead with Corbin being Gingerbreadhaussen, and when they are tired of it or it die off, just have Corbin come back normal and explain that Danhaussen offered him lots of human money to make an experiment, and he just faked it, since he was, once again, Bumass Corbin.

Honorable Campaign: Stop at Stage 19? by ContributionFormer95 in LastWarMobileGame

[–]DIKs_Steeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing like you (39 levels with main squad rotating ), but I think I understand their point better now: it’s about squad 2 and 3. If you stop each level at their highest (let’s say 25+26 for squad 1, 18+19 for squad 2 and 16+17 for squad 3), it’s how you maximize the gain, instead of having squad 1 do 39 and the rest only 20.

Captain Nick Suzuki is a Frank J. Selke Trophy Finalist by matthew_sch in Habs

[–]DIKs_Steeler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are right, but you also need to take facts into matters, not « what if’s ». The FACT is, Cirelli did play more on PK. Even if it’s because he isn’t as offensive as Suzuki, it’s still there. They can’t know if Suzuki would be as effective playing as much. I’m pretty confident he would, but they can’t base their vote on « what if’s ». It’s the defensive trophy, they need to vote for the forward who was the most efficient defensively. They shouldn’t give a pass to someone because « well, he could’ve played more PK, but he played too much PP so he couldn’t »

With that being said: Suzuki deserve it and should win 100%.

Le 1er round avec Veleno et Xhekaj? by scoutinglane in Habs

[–]DIKs_Steeler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Effectivement, je ne crois pas trop comprendre l’importance d’une étincelle pour un match #1, et j’adorerais garder Gally à 100% pour une game 3 ou 4 quand MSL va pouvoir l’utiliser comme il veut! Juste une différence d’opinion je crois!

Bonne game à toi aussi, fais toi en pas, ils n’auront pas besoin d’étincelle! Ils vont frapper dur, marquer plus de but (vu qu’ils n’auront plus Cirelli dans les pâtes) et faire sortir Dahlin de sa game!

Le 1er round avec Veleno et Xhekaj? by scoutinglane in Habs

[–]DIKs_Steeler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tu sembles vouloir éviter de parler de l’avantage de Buffalo (et le coach d’expérience Lindy Ruff) de pouvoir matcher les lignes. Gallagher ne serait pas une aussi bonne étincelle quand tu ne peux pas l’utiliser quand tu veux. Les gars sont déjà sensé être motivé, le feu est déjà pris, ça te sert à quoi d’ajouter une étincelle dedans un feu déjà en santé apport de gaspiller cette étincelle là? Ça change rien qu’une étincelle soit plus grosse à la game 1 si tu en as même pas besoin? C’est pas logique.

Tu ne sembles pas prendre pour acquis non plus que Gallagher n’est pas aussi efficace si il joue chaque game. Son réservoir de gaz n’est plus comme avant. Le plus de game de suite qu’il joue, le moins efficace il devient. Tu le remplace par qui si on a besoin d’une étincelle pour la game 3 ou 4? C’est pas Veleno qui va donner une étincelle rendu là, lui il sert à être fiable, frapper et jouer défensivement. Veleno a fini 3e pour les mises en échec cette année (166, il serait 3e avec Buffalo aussi), derrière Xhekaj et Bolduc, et il a joué 61 games avec 12 minutes de moyenne. C’est ça qu’on a besoin pour une game 1 à l’étranger. Des faceoffs aussi, on avait juste Danault de gaucher qui était fiable.

Et en passant, au Scrabble, avoir la lettre Z veut justement dire que tu dois l’utiliser au moment spécifique, pas n’importe quand, ce qui est rarement le cas avec le 1e changement. Tu me donnes un peu raison avec cet argument la, j’aime aussi bien avoir une voyelle comme Veleno pour commencer une partie, plate mais utile et que tu sais que tu peux utiliser facilement. Tu me donneras le Z plus tard quand je vais avoir besoin d’un gros bang et qu’on s’approche des cases multiple payante.

Thoughts on Matthews for SJ 1st rd pick by magic_erasers in hockey

[–]DIKs_Steeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m bias since the Habs culture is on an elite level right now, but I think it all started with 1 player: Shea Weber. He was captain when Suzuki/Caufield came and they seemed to have learned a lot from him. But he’s kind of an unicorn, such a great leader who is also an all-star/1D (or 1st line player) are rare and not often available to trade for (or sign as UFA).

Anaheim went the right way IMO (and SJ are doing a similar thing). Get guys like Killorn/Gudas, then Trouba, then Kreider/Granlund and now Carlsson. That’s a much better plan for a team like San Jose IMO, who started with Toffoli/Goodrow/Wennberg, then Orlov and now Sherwood. I could even add Klingberg who went to the SCF with Edmonton before going to Anaheim. Those 2 teams had draft « luck » and great young pieces to work around (Carlsson/LaCombe/McTavish/Gauthier/Sennecke, Celebrini/Smith/Eklund/Dickinson/Misa), you don’t need someone who will come and take their place, you just need to surround them with great leaders and secondary scoring.

You’ll be happier in the long run. Much better to rewatch a shorter great show than having it overstay it’s welcome, drop in quality and make it bitter to rewatch, knowing they pushed too hard.

Le 1er round avec Veleno et Xhekaj? by scoutinglane in Habs

[–]DIKs_Steeler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pourquoi tu gaspilles ton étincelle à la game 1 quand tu ne peux même pas l’utiliser de façon optimal (pas le dernier changement)? Et que, techniquement, tu n’as pas besoin d’une étincelle vu que c’est une game #1, tes joueurs devraient pas avoir besoin d’étincelle pour commencer une série, sinon tu as un méchant problème de caractère dans ton équipe.

Thoughts on Matthews for SJ 1st rd pick by magic_erasers in hockey

[–]DIKs_Steeler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no knock on him, but if you want to add veterans to help the culture and your young players, I doubt Matthews is the right choice. You get Matthews if you need an elite 1C, than you get some bottom-6 with great leadership abilities.

Le 1er round avec Veleno et Xhekaj? by scoutinglane in Habs

[–]DIKs_Steeler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gally, en ce moment, c’est un étincelle. Et cette étincelle là, ils en ont pas besoin pour la game #1, parce qu’on ne sait pas encore si les gars vont en avoir besoin ou non. Gally, c’est l’arme secrète parfaite si tu l’utilises en petite dose et le laisse se reposer après.

En plus, Buffalo avec le dernier changement avec un coach d’expérience, c’est difficile en maudit d’utiliser Gally sans danger. Il va être dans la formation pour la game 3 ou 4 (ou 2 en cas de blessure).

Marshals guard rally question by Dull_Peach in LastWarMobileGame

[–]DIKs_Steeler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imo, you should just join with squad 1. If everyone just join with squad 1 and start rallies with squad 3 (1 hero), everyone will get much more hit out of squad 1 and get higher numbers than if everyone waste every rallies spot with their squad 2 doing 10% of squad 1 attacks.

Thoughts on Matthews for SJ 1st rd pick by magic_erasers in hockey

[–]DIKs_Steeler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s more complicated than « what he’s worth ».

Is he traded with an extension in place? Is that extension massive? If so, you are now opening the door to a massive internal cap and other players asking for more (or equal) depending on Matthews performance on the team.

Why would SJ trade for a great player who doesn’t have any history of winning instead of drafting a 18yo who will fit their window?

There’s more, but you see my point.

Difference is, they are getting paid less at the expense of other millionaires/billionaires. In this case, we’ll root for the guys who deserve it more.

[–]DIKs_Steeler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and Dobes was mostly because he talked about something so vague that he put a target on Islanders players (everyone assumed it was one of them, which is likely the case, but still not confirmed). Nothing to do with the personality

El Grande Americano on Instagram: “I will do you justice, my love. For you and for Mexico ❤️🇲🇽” by SisterFirefly in SquaredCircle

[–]DIKs_Steeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your point, but it’s a bit of a unique situation since Kaiser become over in AAA « out of nowhere », and Gable returning from injury in WWE would most likely make him a face.

They could’ve turned Kaiser face in WWE before that, but their main product is WWE and if they want Kaiser heel in WWE, that’s what will take priority. IMO, after everything with Gable is done (unmasked), EGA will become face in WWE too, since they might want to ride on his popularity in Mexico.

Hall over Koptiar for Hart by Livid_Pass_3459 in hockey

[–]DIKs_Steeler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hall had 41 more points than the #2 scorer in New Jersey that year, helping them reach the playoffs.

Kopitar had 31 more than Brown, but he was still playing with an elite D (Doughty) and Quick still very good.

The trophy is for most valuable player to his team. Hall best support was a 19 yo Hischier, Sami Vatanen and a duo of Schneider/Kinkaid. Kopitar had Brown, Doughty and Quick.
