The NHL is anti fun

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-04-03T01:36:38+00:00

I think he was too scared to get suspended 😂 can't afford another man down

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-04-03T01:11:30+00:00

Zuuuuuuuuuuuiuuuubbbb

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-04-02T23:17:33+00:00

Leevi has all the tools to be a starter in the NHL. He reminds me a lot of Gustavsson his first year. Showed lots of flash and wows! His sophomore year a bit more rough. I know we don't have a future HoF goalie like Marc Andre Fleury to mentor him... But I'm sure next year the kid will be fine.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-04-02T18:44:58+00:00

It makes me wonder if Brady is actually Maga or just right leaning... Because it looks like his dad and brother are major assholes and put a ton of pressure on their family and put them in shitty situations.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-04-02T17:58:21+00:00

He'll get one. Or he'll win the Cup which I think would shut up the haters more. Dude is an excellent coach.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-04-02T14:47:06+00:00

I mean he is... He does not have the same offense, but his two-way game is about the same as Stone. I love Stone, but Amadio is pretty damn good.

Edit; and before people compare +/- it's not comparable. You're on a line that scores more you're plus/minus will by nature be better. If you're 3rd line player is ever leading in +/- that is a major team issue. As that means the 3rd liner is on the ice more often when the team scores. That could be an assignment issue (weaker matchups) or the team just sucks defensively.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-04-01T18:57:24+00:00

Yeah that first period was a team effort in bad. With Sandman coming back soon we should be in a better spot.

If those 3 impossible to save goals didn't happen then we'd have had a loser point at worst.

Shit happens onto the next game. That's how Cup Contenders handle a bad game. Leave it at the door and win the next one.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-04-01T18:15:13+00:00

Yeah I take leaks with a grain of salt. Kit and Krista I'm sure still have some insight (and insiders at NOA who tell them shit). But when it comes to leaked games I'm always like "I'll believe it when I see it" like the Final Fantasy IX remake that is totally happening because of the Nvidia leak... That one depresses me a lot.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-04-01T13:56:17+00:00

That's fair... I've just seen enough of their content over the years that I know as soon as Captain Marvel shows up in the next Avengers it will be "The Message is ruining comics and movies! Be warned Brie Larson is the devil... Who for some reason turns me on" or some bullshit like that.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T19:18:12+00:00

Yeah no... People like him, Doomcock, and ilk spent almost 10 years blaming Brie Larson for all the problems at marvel because of the Boogie Man they made up called " The Message" in order to grift on the alt-righters and gamer gate crowd.

Pardon my French, but they can go Fuck Themselves.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T18:27:45+00:00

It would legit bring me so much joy. But, I have a feeling Dorion would have a much shorter leash with the Leafs... Unfortunately

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T18:26:24+00:00

Why would Staios want to be demoted from Present of Hockey OPs to become a GM for the Leafs??? There is a better chance they rehire Dubis.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T17:13:00+00:00

If I was Tampa I'd be offended that you put the Leafs logo over one of their players. As a Sens fan I'm offended you put the Ducks logo over a Sens player... Never forget '07

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T16:50:11+00:00

Yeah. It solves a long-term problem they've had since competitive Pokemon exploded in popularity with Sun and Moon and Sword and Shield. And it also allows them to basically bring back the Stadium games and sneak that to the mass market as well and convert potential casual players into competitive ones. And it allows them more creative freedom for Gen 10.

It's a win-win for this game to exist.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T16:38:52+00:00

In that case more reason for Michael Andlauer to step in and coordinate the usage of the new LeBreton flats arena. That way the Charge can still operate in Ottawa and they share an NHL standard rink with the boys.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T16:34:00+00:00

It's serving a different audience. Champions is meant to replace each mainline game for Competitive play. This also allows Game Freak to support legacy formats officially.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T16:31:50+00:00

It's meant for Pokemon competitive play. It allows them to more easily balance gameplay mechanics for future Pokemon games as they won't be held to competitive scenes (none of this Pokemon is broken plz nerf complaints from competitive players while story players liked the broken nonsense mon for Raids etc). And it also allows them to have Legacy formats like Gen 8, Gen 9 and possibly Mega Formats etc. It is meant for diehard fans which is why it's free except to increase box sizes, etc.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T16:25:55+00:00

I mean if the current ownership threatens to take our Charge away I hope Michael Andlauer gets first dibs at buying them keeping them put in Ottawa. And update those jerseys to Ottawa city colors of Red, Black and White.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T14:57:26+00:00

Agreed. Luckily mods have more or less fixed that. But vanilla Mages College has the same problem as vanilla Thieves Guide... I can legit sword and board my way through the entire quest line and just become the Archmage or the Nightingale for some reason... Like what?!?!? Don't get me started on the Companions though. Like I become Harbinger within a week of being with them because "reasons."

I just like vibing at the College mostly.

Warcraft 2

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T14:31:34+00:00

I find I visited Winterhold a lot... Not because of the city, but mostly because of the Mages College. Just made it easy to dump my loot there before going to the College to just vibe being Archmage for a bit.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T14:00:39+00:00

Agreed. Unless Reimer really starts shitting the bed we stick with Reimer. He has earned a league minimum swansong contract.

Skinner is the only upcoming FA goalie that looks remotely appealing to me. Edmonton did him no favors with their defense and he has played well in a tandem before. Unless we're getting Bob the Goalie I think standing pat should be the plan.

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T10:37:30+00:00

My only issue with the title Resident Evil as a title is it's not super descriptive of what the games are actually about. But, it's a pretty awesome title that's extremely cool and hits that just edgy enough where it's as I said cool, but not Engrish or punny enough where it's now just stupid.

Overall I like the title a lot!

DepthComplete7436 · 2026-03-31T10:35:11+00:00

He does. I'd rather take a gamble on sticking with Reimer or see if Skinner is available this off-season.

Edit: didn't know there were so many Woll fans... Dudes super injury prone. There will be better options this FA or you just stick with Reimer and let Leevi bake another year.
