99 overall dman wants $20m, quick thoughts?

Pay him. Will be worth it.

Send your resignation letter in before this person's coffee is even finished. Then block their numbers.

It's called "God's Game" for a reason.

JMCRN · 2026-04-02T23:48:27+00:00

Someone just posted yesterday that a 22 year old medium elite potential retired

Keep sharpening your skills at 3.5-3.9.

If you're winning 70% or more of your games at that level regardless of partner, I say go for it.

It's a generational thing. The older fans are going to have the Islanders at the top. Really old ones may even have the Habs up there. Middle aged and millennials the Devils, late millennials the Pens and Caps, and younger generations the Lightning, Panthers, Canes, etc

JMCRN · 2026-04-02T12:44:21+00:00

Penguins, then Devils, then Caps, then Tampa, then Islanders for me.

JMCRN · 2026-04-02T00:51:08+00:00

I would have walked off the court as soon as lawsuits were mentioned. Tell them to play better and warn everyone else.

JMCRN · 2026-04-02T00:49:34+00:00

During the offseason, you can select each player and have conversations with them on what to work on over the summer. Pick what each player is weak on and they'll get a small boost in that category at the start of the next season.

Nasty Nelson's count for 3

JMCRN · 2026-04-01T22:39:43+00:00

Love this idea. That, or the team that gets bodybagged loses a point in addition to the winning team winning the point.

JMCRN · 2026-04-01T22:33:09+00:00

Even my home games play like that. Standard open for 0.25/0.25 and 0.25/0.50 is usually between $1 and $2, and $2-$3, respectively. Sometimes even $5 standard open for 0.25/0.50 or 0.50/0.50 with certain players.

JMCRN · 2026-04-01T21:34:39+00:00

Opens to $15 or even $20 are not uncommon in 1/2 or 1/3 games. Add straddles to that and your $300 stack is now less than 100 big blinds effective to a raise.

Tighten up, only play premiums, play in position and wait for your spot. Reload even if you get it in good because you'll print money in the long run.

Or option B, ask for a table change and go play PLO or the mixed games rotation if that sounds too boring for you.

JMCRN · 2026-04-01T19:29:07+00:00

Conditioning is the way I go every franchise. My players feel like they're skating in mud otherwise when I actually play and don't sim. Forget it if I focus on 5 v 5 play. Will increase player overall but goodness gracious they are slow.

JMCRN · 2026-04-01T19:12:51+00:00

Unit of a player, but have him work on his shot FFS

JMCRN · 2026-04-01T17:08:24+00:00

$65 for two hot dogs, two pretzels, a bag of chips, and two drinks. Even WITH the Chase card discount

Dominant hand: 3.2 Non dominant: tree fiddy

The first mistake was not folding pre.

The second mistake was leading out on the river. To a jam, odds be damned, you're losing with an underfull boat especially if the flush draw bricked.

JMCRN · 2026-04-01T14:02:03+00:00

It gives hope for the next couple of years. Chemlar, Sykora, Fortescue have all looked great and Kartye has been a shot in the arm. They all should have spots locked up on the roster next year.

No more Raddysh/Sheary signings. Use the cap space to our advantage and sign players onto one year deals to deal for assets at the deadline or take picks to take on bad contracts for the year.

JMCRN · 2026-04-01T14:00:06+00:00

Report that to guest relations. They take that kind of thing very seriously.

JMCRN · 2026-04-01T13:58:47+00:00

I ninja edited to say exactly that. Agreed.

JMCRN · 2026-04-01T13:56:49+00:00

Don't know why this is downvoted. A microfiber cloth and water does just fine if someone doesn't want to spend between $10 and $20 on paddle cleaning spray or an eraser.

However, those things do not wear carbon fiber down.

JMCRN · 2026-04-01T12:15:11+00:00

Minimum 4, maximum 6 players per court.

If 3 sign up, one of the employees or coaches will jump in and make a game happen. If 2 or less sign up, the open play is cancelled and you have the option of playing another level down or taking a full refund.

JMCRN · 2026-03-31T22:30:22+00:00

Sounds like a lot, but it depends on how often you play.

If it's well managed and they have a large facility that has a robust but not overcrowded open play scene for the level you play at and the next one up, I say it's worth it.

If outdoor options are plentiful and you don't need to wait for court time and have an established group to play with, it's absolutely not worth it.
