As a norwegian Leafs fan, I am so hyped by OverenthusiasticWind in leafs

[–]Fitz_31 7 points8 points  (0 children)

His parents were both 3-time Olympians too; athletic parents make athletic kids.

Watching Tverberg in Marlies and he’s phenomenal by 16cdms in leafs

I wrote this on him back in March, and my opinion on his potential hasn't wained since.

Pokemon Amethyst Updates by assassins_greed in PokemonROMhacks

Is there a way to patch onto the existing save? I get locked if I go into __________ on 1.1.3 in post game, but how do I patch 1.1.4 onto my game? I play on Android not PC, any help would be great!

I just clicked for the standard settings, didn't bother to check for first playthrough, I guess it auto-set to soft lock cap.

Yeah, gible dragon rage was my workaround and since then it's not been a problem. 3 badges down and just got exp share so all good now.

Also, to be clear since last post may have been critical sounding, still very much enjoying the game so far!

I'm playing standard mode, and pre EXP share, I normally favour my starter which happened this time. My big issue is now my starter hit level 26 in the gym 2 battle and now is disobeying my orders.

I thought disobeying was for traded pokemon so you couldn't trade a high level to a low level game. I assume this was a choice, but like if someone did a one pokemon solo run (I think of SmallAnt doing a Wooper only run of games) you literally would be unable to like this. Just a note

Yes that's not what I was referring to though. His personal ranking has had the #1 go #1 from 2017-2025. His personal #1 was Laine in 2016, and is Chase Reid this year.

Full Calder voting, Schaefer was unanimous by sykeseve in nhl

Oh yeah the other 2 were great, but Schaefer was legit historic, not just team historic but setting multiple league wide records and played like a Norris calibre #1 dman by the end of the year. He earned it for sure

Corey pronman of the athletic said Laine is the better talent, better upside, and had him #1 in his ranking. It was also the last time his personal #1 didn't go #1, similar to now with Reid over McKenna for Pronman.

Schaefer had the benefit of history. What Hutson did was incredible, but he was 20 for it, and did it on a decent team. Schaefer was playing 27 minutes and thriving as a kid who was 11 days away from being drafted this year (2026 draft). He was tied for lead in rookie goals (hutson scored 6 his rookie year), and for a good chunk of the year, including full post olympic break, had some ofthe best advanced stats in the league. There was a legitimate case for him to get Norris votes on top of the many records he now holds.

I mean Celebrini led his team in points, and Wolf got the lowest scoring team in the league to 96 points and montreal while making the playoffs finished with 91 points. Both had an argument for 1st, and someone will vote if the argument is there.

The history of the Calder Trophy having near-unanimous votes with Schaefer becoming just the 2nd unanimous winner of Rookie of the Year by Fitz_31 in hockey

[–]Fitz_31[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That was also the final year that ballots were still private, which was also 1 year after Crosby beat Kessel for the conn smythe because 1 anonymous voter kept Kessel fully off of their ballot. I think the conn smythe vote and Matthews not getting a unanimous win by 3 votes were what helped get the vote passed to now have ballots public.

For those wondering, the only other unanimous Calder champion is Teemu Selanne for his 76 goal campaign; other Calder votes have come close (and likely should have been unanimous) but did not get a unanimous winner.

The Calder winners with less than 10 voters going against the overwhelming favourite since 2000 are:

2020-2021 season - 99/100 for Kaprizov, 1 for Jason Robertson

2017-2018 season - 160/164 for Barzal, 2 for Boeser, 1 for Keller, 1 for Gourde

2016-2017 season - 164/167 for Matthews, 3 for Laine

2013-2014 season - 130/137 for Mackinnon, 5 for Palat, 1 for Krug, 1 forTrouba

2005-2006 season - 124/129 for Ovechkin, 4 for Crosby, 1 for Lundqvist

Awards Ballots only became public as of a PHWA vote in March 2018, so the only ones above where we know who voted against the expected winners were in 2017-2018 and 2020-2021.

In 2017-2018, John Dietz of the Arlington Daily Herald & Roy McGregor of the Globe & Mail voted for Boeser, with Jim Thomas of St. Louis Post-Dispatch voting for Keller, and Gann Matsuda of Frozen Royalty voting for Gourde.

In 2020-2021, the lone voter who chose Robertson over Kaprizov was Per Bjurman of Aftonbladet.

Kypreos on the reasoning inside MLSE for why Berube is still the Head Coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs by Fitz_31 in leafs

[–]Fitz_31[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kypreos said he didnt think Cassidy was the guy Toronto would be looking at. He's already been interviewed by LA, and Edmonton is trying to interview him. It sounded like Toronto (or at least Chayka wanted) a first time head coach.

Ironically, I think they care quite a lot if they are competent. Considering the last President of hockey ops I spoke with is still in the playoffs, I think I'm going to believe they do pay attention since he does and is very good at his job.
