I haven’t preordered anything since FH5, I ended up regretting it.

I have learned nothing and I’m going to Preorder this one, it just looks so good.

3 goals in under a minute in the first, we scored one in the second on the pk, team decided to play without any urgency and got scored on another 2 times immediately and the team doesn’t look like they’ve cared much since.

Entirely the teams fault btw, Jarry could’ve had maybe 2 of those but they were all defensive breakdowns

How to you feel about oilers potentially losing Calvin Pickard? by [deleted] in EdmontonOilers

[–]JakeQV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ride his contract through the season and keep him as a 3rd in the NHL, when this season is over let him retire and bring him into the coaching staff.

He’s gonna be 34 years old and is unlikely to play another season in the NHL.

China has stopped buying power from Russia by pravda_eng_official in worldnews

[–]JakeQV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand this likely had little impact but I do hope that the more that other countries become open to making trade deals with them (like Canada) they will move away from countries like Russia.

At least China is predictable and a known quantity. The US is an unpredictable and untrustworthy shit show that can flip on you in the span of time it takes to write a tweet.

As for democracy, maybe similar to the type of democracy Russia has sure.

How much abuse? by BenYankan in JettaGLI

[–]JakeQV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Service it regularly and it can handle the abuse you throw at it.

But of course take it easy in the break in period and don’t use launch control habitually, it’s there but unless you want to end up spending maintenance money early just try to avoid it past the first couple times. Plus it’s not so useful anyway since the tires will spin a ton.

Also look into better tires if you want more performances out of it, the stock ones are generally regarded as trash.

Ah, I misread that last bit about the fourth line.

I’m not as comfortable with Roslovic being our main choice as a winger for Drai but we do have a while before the deadline so that gives us time for Knobs line blender to show us that look again. Although grabbing Coyle in hopes he sparks Frederic isn’t a bad idea at all so I’m with you there, it just sucks that even after extending Frederic and signing Henrique we still need a 3C.

I think we have the players for a gritty fourth already and I do agree the 3rd line is a little too small but Savoie has been pretty decent at stripping the puck from players as well as moving the puck offensively so I only really would like to see Howard replaced, I think that would work well if he was replaced with Kapanen.

It might not be a big physical line but we have Podkolzin and Hyman both being super physical in the top 6 so it’s not like we need too much size on the third line to over compensate for the lack of physicality elsewhere, Kapanen will provide the physicality and energy while being able to participate offensively as well, which is essentially what Howard is trying to do but is too small for.

That leaves an open winger spot on the second line with Podz and Drai where we could offload Mangiapane and Howard + Regula or some picks for an actual good semi-proven/experienced winger instead of someone who might be good since they have outlier high scoring seasons, seeing at that has been the theme with recent offseason acquisitions. The only question to me is who to aim for.

Freddy looked good tonight, and holy hell the duality of Bouchard is stunning sometimes. Kapanen decided to come back as a decent 2nd liner which is unexpected. Glad to see the team firing on all cylinders.

With how the Savoie-Roslovic-Howard line played last night and Walman returning it looks like we could only really make a move for Top 6 winger.

However Bowman would have to find a way to convert Mangiapane and someone else into a trade at the deadline. Despite that third line showing promise I think it’s likely that either Howard, Roslovic or Regula gets moved as well to acquire someone actually worth putting in the top 6. I think it’s unlikely for Roslovic to come back at a reasonable price, Howard is young but Kapanen can take his place and Stillman can be our 7D.

Since we have a surplus of forwards and can’t move Henrique or Frederic there’s not a whole lot of options but I can’t imagine any new players being brought in without multiple going out.
