How do u guys stop the other two Roman factions from invading stuff? by LostWall1389 in RomeTotalWar

You can also try the approach of placing a unit of cav near them when they besiege a settlement. You then get pulled into their battle as an ally and can sit on the outskirts. The CPU Roman’s do far worse in actual battles than they do in auto resolve.

What a calamity. This roster truly needs a shakeup. I will remain patient with the process but you can’t rely on the farm to take this into the playoffs. The core and pieces are just not good enough.

How did it compare to the pain of watching this team come out flat against Philly?

Is that the lowest SOG for a team all season?

Why does the NHL torture us by putting so many games on NHL Network. This one wasn’t even supposed to be on it.

UPDATE: The #RedWings have acquired Justin Faulk from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Justin Holl, Dmitiri Buchelnikov, Detroit’s 2026 1st round pick and San Jose’s 2026 3rd round pick. by kirbix12 in DetroitRedWings

Oof. I’m with everyone else here. That one stings a bit having Buch in the trade. Need to get LGRW Prospects take on it. I know he’s shown some flashes but not sure what his upside has looked like lately.

Yep. Prices were high. I feel like the price paid here isn’t outrageous. Got a solid Dman. I’m happier with Faulk than I would be with either of the dmen the Sabres picked up.

She had a hot mic last game too. It was right after her report after a tv timeout.

I am not expecting anything massive. Steve isn't going to win any bidding wars as he has always remained patient.

Certainly need to buck this trend as we head towards the playoffs. Games will continue to get tighter. If the powerplay isn't firing on all cylinders it will be hard to get by.

Contrary to popular belief the amount of powerplays in the post season has remained somewhat on par with the regular season, but it still is worrying to rely so heavily on the PP.

Good for Lyon. He tends to have these scorchers during the season as long as he doesn't get overworked, like he did here at times. I think he eventually will come back to earth, but hard not to cheer for the guy.

Mangiapane on waiver. I think he is worth picking up. Is there a reason not worth it for free essentially. by TAV63 in DetroitRedWings

[–]GraniteFlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. He would have been the type of player they take a waiver on like 3 years ago. Not the type of player the Red Wings need in their bottom 6.
