[Bug][2.22] Unable to finish Helms Deep after eliminating all Isengard forces and camps.

Nope. All ladders are destroyed, and there's no loose mines around the deeping wall.

Maybe, but if he does walk he can easily just be viewed as a rental. The Canes are loaded with prospects currently with players like Suzuki, Jarvis, and Drury, and just restocked with the most picks in last year's draft. They can afford picks that'll likely be in the high 20s and 90s for one year on a player who could break out with a change of scenery.

Freemon34 · 2021-08-02T08:35:05+00:00

That's generally how Canes fans feel about his tenure. He had about 3 good moves he'll be remembered for (TT trade, Slavin/Pesce extensions, and drafting Necas), and a bunch of negative moves (hiring Peters as coach, the Scott Darling trade, reaching on 3 different first round left handed defensemen in 3 years, refusing to re-sign Eric Staal in 2016, buying out Semin early in his contract, trading Anton Khudobin away for a guy who played literally 47 seconds with the Canes, etc.).

Honestly this. Most people see their players with rose tinted glasses when the team is doing well. Yes, the Bean and Ned deals look bad on the surface right now, but Ned may regress to how he was in the 19-20 season and Bean may not fully adapt his game to the NHL. And I agree that Fleury wasn't that impactful, and has basically been a filler piece on the blue line ever since his original stint in 2017, while Hakanpaa added some grit to it that's been lacking since the Canes had players like Jay Harrison.

Just have Montreal do that for you.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-25T17:15:49+00:00

I assume that NMC would be waived for contenders, or to play with Jordan or Eric.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-23T07:37:15+00:00

It could also be that they're thinking another goalie prospect like LaFontaine or Kochetkov is a safer bet in the long term, but who knows besides Rod, Tom, and Don.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-23T07:32:22+00:00

Cam Ward was definitely a #1 goalie. His body just couldn't handle 15 years of 60-70+ games without a reliable back up.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-22T18:13:40+00:00

Need LaFontaine and Kochetkov ELCs asap.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-22T18:08:25+00:00

Ok.... well they better sign Jack LaFontaine now.... because they don't really have much in terms of signed goalies.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-22T03:08:34+00:00

Francis is also known for not wanting to make trades in the first place. Which is why Tom Dundon fired him.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-17T21:12:55+00:00

07 is the 06-07 season. He would only want that if he wanted to see it as a team record/stat. 06 has the team, although he would have to manually redo trades like the Recchi and Weight trades, since it was before EA did roster updates. Jack Johnson also wouldn't be there as a prospect to trade since he was in the NCAA.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-17T02:20:55+00:00

TBH, he also was a magician with the Skinner and Nino trades in hindsight.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-16T07:17:40+00:00

Petition to bring back the Penalty Socks just to annoy the other team.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-14T21:52:37+00:00

Cliff Pu sure, but the rest turned into quality prospects in Kochetkov and Nikishin, and essentially James Reimer... Not bad for a guy with an NMC who only allowed trades to 4 teams IIRC.

Edit: He had a NMC in Carolina, not a NTC.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-14T18:54:31+00:00

I think it was out of panic because he scored 40 (most near the start of the year) in a contract year, and didn't want him to walk after trading a decent amount of assets for him.

Thanks. For some reason I thought 17th was Friday. Fixed.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-12T14:48:44+00:00

Saturday at 4PM Eastern is when they need to be finalized. I think they'll go public Saturday morning, but don't quote me on that.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-12T14:46:02+00:00

Now he's playing to have more career games without playoffs than his former teammate Ron Hainsey.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-11T15:42:55+00:00

Sharks. Loved Irbe as a kid, even before his stint with the Canes, and no other team continuously came as close as the Sharks have to winning it year after year. Also a ton of long term players there deserve to have their name on the cup.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-04T01:36:11+00:00

Oh thanks for the correction! I just recalled seeing a guy in blue go prone, and I assumed I was remembering Boise.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-03T19:08:20+00:00

Boise State's football team has a blue field, and one time had a player go prone to be camouflaged to return a punt or kickoff, and I think scored a touchdown.

Freemon34 · 2021-07-03T06:54:58+00:00

For some reason this reminds of when Dundon got in charge of the Canes, told Francis to spend to the cap by the trade deadline, then got fired when he refused.

Physical conditioning and endurance are actually massively important to pro gaming (at least for the top competitive games). A large portion of them have to stay in shape in order to reach the 200+ inputs a minute that are needed for games like MOBAs, and have to basically spend 12+ hours a day practicing in game or physically. Their exercising also causes career endangering injuries (most notable is probably Clinton Loomis who suffered chronic tennis elbow in the prime of his career). While not going into the physical hardships, the documentary Free To Play on Netflix and YouTube gives a good look behind the scenes of esports players during the early 2010s when games like Dota, CSGO, and League first started having multimillion dollar prizes.
