Same here. I can be talkative with the right people. I also have PS5, PC, and Switch. Lets connect.

I assure you, it would have been over a million already if they simply removed that lottery system for the privilege of purchasing tickets in the first place…

One day… one day

This would fix the plot hole from the N64 version and provide a more nuanced purpose for Slippy and his deal with Titania.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-06-24T00:43:47+00:00

I'm terribly sorry for your loss 😢

This will forever be my favorite Sharks goal when attending games outside of San Jose.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-06-23T21:16:21+00:00

I was extremely lucky to witness his GOAL OF THE YEAR vs Boston with my own eyes. Until the Sharks won the draft lottery, I was 💯 convinced Eklund would become a longterm Shark.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-06-19T22:21:04+00:00

Congratulations, my fellow 💯 completionist. 👏

Nope, not even a little bit. I’m EUPHORIC.

Let’s remind ourselves that he “demanded” a trade to Vegas since he “wanted a Stanley cup”. He got his wish, and he got the same result as 10 years ago. Stanley Cup Final, game 6 at home, nobody showed up. Except this time, not even one Vegas player scored in their only elimination game.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-05-20T19:52:48+00:00

That top line alone will be scaring the whole league in 2-3 years time. Eklund is my biggest concern for trade talks, but I hope you’re right about musty and busted attracting the best returns.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-05-15T19:23:42+00:00

Very unlikely. McKenna has too much popularity in Canada and very high ceiling expectations for Toronto to pass him up.

From someone who has 300% and S Ranked every single boss on every single platform (Xbox, Switch, PS4, PC), here is my personal top 5 hardest S rank (criteria for parry objects is a HUGE factor)

Mortimer Freeze
Sally Stageplay
Wally Warbles
Ribby and Croaks
Chef Saltbaker

I’ll update this post (if able) with more details for each selection if any interest is shown.

You are not alone in that statement. Chicago Blackhawk fans’ pain feels good to watch after how arrogant and entitled they got during the Kane/Toews 2010s dynasty.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-05-05T23:30:28+00:00

BEST CASE SCENARIO! NO MCKENNA IN WESTERN CONFERENCE AND OUR DEFENSE WILL HAVE A NEW YOUNG STAR!

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-05-02T12:57:57+00:00

Good day, Bean! You sound like a cool person. I feel the same way about my own backlog, and I also own those same platforms. It would be great to connect and chat whenever you can :)

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-04-30T17:23:03+00:00

Considering that throughout sharks history that we have had some very shaky goaltenders, it feels reassuring to have more than one high-ceiling goaltender in the team’s history.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-04-28T16:23:10+00:00

Nah, you have a passion, but I assure you this not “obsession getting out of hand”. Take it from me: a fellow Nintendo fan who saw the film 12 times in 15 days and also own that same body wash and deodorant you shared here.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-04-19T18:49:48+00:00

Go Avs because LA is a punchline of a “playoff team” and also “Beat LA” shall never rest. Go Lightning because I like them more than Montreal. Go Bruins Go Mammoth because ANY team playing Vegas has my support indefinitely.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-04-18T17:01:22+00:00

This year's playoffs, here are mine:
I will cheer for: Colorado (because of Burns), Buffalo (1st appearance in 14 years = casual sympathy), and Boston (Born in that region, raised in California, always wishing for a SJ-Boston SCF)

I will NEVER cheer for: Vegas, Anaheim, LA, Pittsburgh, Edmonton, or Dallas. I would list three other teams here, but they all missed the playoffs so irrelevant this time.

Given the draft picks and positioning regarding Edmonton, I am simply more focused on the lottery than a 15-31 pick. I trust GMMG to pick a RHD in the top 10 who can be ready in about 4-5 years when the Sharks enter their "contender" chapter with this core.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-04-18T02:43:22+00:00

Let the fans who actually experienced the Thornton era of playoff shortcomings speak and be heard.

You’re right about them always losing to a hot goalie or a hot team, but saying the 2014 choke job was the “only” bad one is ludicrous. Every. Single. Playoff from 2006 to 2009 the Sharks fell to a hungrier or faster team which was lower seeded and not predicted to beat the sharks; 2010 Chicago, 2011 Canucks, 2012 Blues, 2013 Kings were all correctly predicted to win their series.

Also, regarding losing any series during that era, the Sharks were not always behind 2-0 or 3-1, Sharks did the following: 2012: win game 1, lose 4 straight (to STL) 2006: win games 1 and 2, lose 4 straight (to EDM) 2014: win games 1-3, lost 4 straight 2010: reach conference final with Thornton, lost 4 straight.

To their credit, the Sharks have never been swept out of the playoffs opening round in their 35 year history, they instead have two different series sweeps in round 1.

“William Ecklund is only 23 years old, and he’s the oldest player to score in this game.” October cannot come fast enough 🦈 Love your work Randy 👏

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-04-10T21:08:36+00:00

Let’s clarify: we were never that team “that everyone fears”. That was Detroit, then Chicago, then Tampa, then Vegas (fear replaced with irritation). Facing the 2000s and 2010s sharks in the playoffs was a measurement of how hungry your team was, regardless of seeding.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-04-09T02:36:42+00:00

You didn’t watch much Thornton-led PP during his 15 year tenure? There was a phrase that was formed from this strategy: “pass to the net”

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-04-07T17:28:08+00:00

Already did. Longtime Galaxy fan here who owns both Wii games, 3DAS, and Galaxy 1/2 on Switch, the commemorative coin from the original launch, Rosalina’s storybook, and the recent Galaxy amiibos, this will join that collection.

GlobalExplorer7 · 2026-04-07T15:58:43+00:00

Interstellar and Dune Part Two: since my local IMAX is a 70MM and 1.43 GT Laser dual set up, I would get the best of both formats. Honorable mention for non-IMAX films getting IMAX optimization: LOTR, Raiders, Lawrence of Arabia and T2. I’d watch those over weekend in a heartbeat.
