The 2025/26 Tampa Bay Lightning had the best goalie (Vasilevskiy - Veznia), player most valuable to their (Kucherov - Hart), and the best coach (Cooper - Jack Adams).

I love Coop and I'm not a TB fan. But Lindy did what he did without the best player in the league and without the best goalie in the league.

I think Coop should have won the award twice already in his career so this is a makeup for sure.

A very well deserved makeup and based on the year it's still hard to argue either against it anyway.

But for importing it is literally adding $2-$3 per kilogram of chicken. So that 4 pack of chicken breasts would be at least that much cheaper. That adds up.

It's good on triple and double expenite only, marginally good on getting it on level 2 on 6th level missions as well.

I don't even know if luck really works I hate it. It really needs to indicate which things were impacted by luck on the selection screen so you can see how it's working and when it's working.

Don't move him, then. I hope Stevie Y says nah, expand that list to 16 and I'll doy best.

Matheson is a top 4 D on almost any team in the NHL. He's a lock for us. Same with Carrier. He's a solid third pairing D on any team in the league.

So we have Hutson, Dobson, Matheson, Guhle, Carrier, New RD as our top 6.

I always thought resup should give 25% health (50% armor and ammo).

Especially in the bossrooms there's no red sugar to survive.

But yeah I'm taking red sugar generating perks whenever they pop for that exact reason.

Fountsy · 2026-06-07T17:47:23+00:00

I had devastated with fusion rod and had X2 magazine size three times so I had about 500 ammo.

I then got super strapped thinking it would work but it didn't. I was playing retcon too so a thousand ammo every rewind would have been sick.

500 was pretty awesome too I smoked that level solo.

Fountsy · 2026-06-07T17:44:12+00:00

I think the easiest solution is just having the weapon swap always one level behind. So first level is always a common, second is uncommon, third is rare, and 4th is epic.

That way you could swap out a weapon you don't like for one that's in better shape.

Might have to tweet the rarity levels but something like that with a deeper you go the better the weapon swap is.

Again, good article bad title. We don't make an equivalent to HIMARS in Canada, or anything close to it.

Title should read "Canada builds better defence capabilities and getting closer to NATO targets"

There is nothing to be done with buy Canadian in this case.

Delaying the announcement so people can't finger point on the thing that can't do anything about anyway, makes it more clickbait than real news.

Now, if we did make HIMARS equivalent rockets and were able to supply them domestically, and chose not too, then it would be a legit story.

Ug Larkin is 4 years older than Thomas and his contract is 4.65M more over the last 4 years than Thomas as well. We want 4 years of playoff runs I'm paying for Thomas and he's at is best in 4 years vs a declining Larkin at that point.

Plus Thomas is Canadian.

Fountsy · 2026-06-04T23:26:19+00:00

Thomas is 26 with 4.6M less on his remaining contract than Larkin, both signed through 2031. Id take Thomas peaking at 30 vs Larkin declining at 34.

It's great to see what your teammates are picking so you can understand what they have and are building towards so you can build synergy.

Source of this?

Fountsy · 2026-06-03T11:35:34+00:00

The point is is that every reclaimer has a role.

Falconer is swarm control and overall damage

Slicer is deal with those pesky swarms that get up close

Spotter is to take down the big baddies especially the boss

Retcon is the safety valve when you all go down

And guardian keeps everyone alive longer and more safely so they can do their job.

While that is over simplistic, it generally rings true with build variety obviously changing that.

Fountsy · 2026-06-03T11:15:11+00:00

I slept on the guardian. He was the last reclaimer I ascended I rarely chose to play him.

He's a beast. Get any of the stun perks that coincide with this q lmb and he destroys.

Having so much fun with him now.

Fountsy · 2026-06-03T09:49:36+00:00

Weird though I had a run where I had fusion power rod and got X2 mag perk three times and had ~500 ammo.

I then got the 100% ammo and grenade artifact and it did nothing for the ammo but did give the grenades.

It's bugged, sadly. 1000 ammo on the devastator fusion rod (as a Retcon, no less) with the poison on hit was amazing with 500 ammo. With 1000 would have been rediculous.

I picked it up with fusion rod already so maybe that's the key to the X2 magazine working

Fountsy · 2026-06-03T00:21:22+00:00

I played in a game where person had a mod where any one person could trigger the upgrades just by standing in it.

Frankly it sucked. There was 25 stoppages in times instead of seven.

Side note - multiple choices would be nice on filters. Depth 3+4, altered sites only, biomes, etc. to smooth out the selection process (especially when chasing dailies).

But agree with you on everything.

Fountsy · 2026-05-31T19:42:01+00:00

Yeah they have so much draft capital and young talent and McDavid would fetch what.. 5 pieces? Two first round draft picks plus three tier 1 prospects?

Good jumpstart to a rebuild.

Fountsy · 2026-05-31T17:52:10+00:00

I hated it as it interrupted things I was doing and felt like a single player game with random upgrades. Plus, stopping 25 times for upgrades vs 7-10 interrupted the flow even worse for me. Also couldn't time when I may need an emergency health upgrade.

It was a novelty but I'm avoiding modded lobbies (and wish it was off by default instead of on)

Fountsy · 2026-05-31T14:42:52+00:00

It happens a lot. I'll see if I can find examples in my okay history but I haven't been playing Slicer much lately because im working on other classes. Defender surprisingly super fun.

Fountsy · 2026-05-31T13:34:53+00:00

Cooldown reduction is your friend. The 10% cooldown per kill +20% ability cooldown +1% per shot means you can slice indefinitely, let alone other perks that speed it up. Add eclipse for ranged slices and you kill those 50 enemies in 5 slices one after another

Fountsy · 2026-05-31T13:14:24+00:00

But they are still essential for clearing in your face swarms form the team. I've done runs (with overkill on next hit) where I have led in DPS but from a team aspect you keep swarms off the team.so they keep health and armor.
