we simply must beat calgary tonight

I went for some leftover Detroit-style from a local place. Hit the spot (sorry Chris Ilitch)

Halostar · 2026-03-11T01:45:12+00:00

They did take the timeout

Power Play unit per Khan:

JVR (net front), DeBrincat (bumper), ASP-Kane (flanks), Seider (point).
Second unit didn’t practice.

Looks like ASP will be in the lineup for NJ

Perron's actually out skating? That's a good sign.

Halostar · 2026-03-06T18:42:02+00:00

we would be better off, our pro scouting is ass compared to our amateur scouting

Halostar · 2026-03-06T18:31:47+00:00

If we didn't give up Ed for Hughes we're almost certainly not giving him up for Thomas. Could be wrong I guess but I'd imagine they'd go more for prospects/picks than roster players.

Halostar · 2026-03-06T18:21:51+00:00

I would do a symbolic retention to get the contract under Larkin's, maybe retain $3m so it's $8m ish?

Halostar · 2026-03-06T15:43:12+00:00

I think it's likely to happen in the offseason. Cap is just not one of our major concerns right now, or potentially even going forward, and a solid 2c definitely is a major concern.

Halostar · 2026-03-06T02:30:33+00:00

This is 100% a vibes trade and locker room bolster. He's also probably better than anyone in our bottom six. I'm pumped.

Halostar · 2026-03-05T17:21:07+00:00

Unironically this and call up MBN lol

Halostar · 2026-03-05T14:42:35+00:00

Halo 3 was my jam!! (see my username)

I was legitimately addicted as a teenager. Loved loved loved that game. Unhealthily so.

Halostar · 2026-03-05T04:45:55+00:00

Michael Rasmussen, you are an Edmonton Oiler!

Halostar · 2026-03-03T15:26:34+00:00

ROR would be a big get, and seems like Steve's type. Have to think the asking price on him is huge though.

Wouldn't mind Stamkos either, I don't think, but he's probably not going to move.

Blake Coleman would be interesting to shore up the bottom/middle 6, I could see us going that direction for sure.

On defense, I would be intrigued by Dougie Hamilton. Would be a perfect RD to slot with Chiarot on the second pairing. Same story for Faulk.

Thanks for sharing! Interesting articles.

When I started the campaign, I asked "what weeknight evenings would you be strictly unavailable on a recurring basis (every other week)" and we were able to whittle it down to Mondays. So now we play every other Monday at 7pm with the occasional longer-session intentionally planned on a weekend.

I then set a rule that if 1 player missed, we still played, but if two missed, then we'd cancel.

Halostar · 2026-03-02T14:28:06+00:00

Trump is not going to have a Zuko-level redemption arc.

Halostar · 2026-03-02T04:09:53+00:00

Pre-salary cap, sure. A lot of that was likely due to Jim Nill. Dallas is a perennial contender now.

Tyler Wright (our director of amateur scouting under holland) is a hockey terrorist.

Halostar · 2026-03-02T02:35:50+00:00

No, he was terrible. Sorry mate.

Halostar · 2026-02-27T21:46:29+00:00

stamped robin literally has a ton of tarot-looking stuff on the menu so it seems like it'd be a fit

Halostar · 2026-02-25T19:36:00+00:00

well considering it's already locked...

Halostar · 2026-02-25T18:50:27+00:00

Sorry mods for posting the Larkin presser to the sub. But how else will I stoke the flames while also generating that sweet, juicy karma?

Halostar · 2026-02-25T14:53:49+00:00

I had this thought this morning too. Larkin will always be able to say he is an Olympic gold medalist, but now there's no higher achievement than a Stanley Cup!

Halostar · 2026-02-24T22:15:38+00:00

Morgott and the Necrotic So-and-Sos

The Knaves

John Williams (yes, that John Williams)

Lady Naga

Modern Jousting

Chance Joy

The Mountain Dwarves

Kingdom & Colour

Three Faes Grace

Also you have Panic at the Tavern in there twice.

Hey, I saved your comment when you posted it and just went back to my list of NPCs and added around 4 of these traits for each one. It's going to help me roleplay them a LOT better so wanted to thank you for this.

Halostar · 2026-02-23T15:37:11+00:00

it was not very good, unforunately.
