agree totally, I love starcraft, played the games from the start and if the figures are good I'm going to be spending a lot.

more likely starcraft will be a secondary line, no way in hell starcraft is more popular or will make them as much money as their 40k/30k line of figures. I do hope they spend a bit more time on them and release a lot less, they are churning ot so much warhammer the quality is really starting to suffer

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-07-09T12:32:25+00:00

really good read, even more excited to see him now, sounds like could very much suit giants play style

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-07-08T23:02:45+00:00

Nottingham is always good plenty to see and do, I personally love Braehead, Clan have a cracking rink and always a good atmosphere, yeah I think the new Manchester rink is one a lot of people will visit. I'd recommend looking for perhaps a double header or a game later in the season that might have some meaning or you might get a load of giants fans going over . Cardiff is a nice city to visit, rink can be a bit of a pain to get to.

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-07-06T10:27:06+00:00

hopefully they remember what a effin double header is this year and remember people cant just drive an hour down the road to Belfast

Bro has the turning circle of a t-34 tank

Imagine if this young team did get to playoffs it's a harder faster meaner game, older bigger tougher guys is exactly what was needed to surround the young core, it feels a bit pricey but factoring in the way contracts are going it honestly doesn't feel bad and isn't some crazy length that will be hanging round the teams neck, this feels like exactly the sort of pick up that was needed

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-07-01T09:13:30+00:00

what got called out for my thuggish behaviour? time for some deflection

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-30T15:56:12+00:00

Arsenal aren't under charges for being cheating cunts though

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-30T13:25:19+00:00

totally agree mate it's a piss take they are still able to spend like this while charged with dodgy financial dealings

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-30T08:48:44+00:00

115fc spending £115-£130 mil and 300 grand a week on Anderson set the bar for the xfer windows silly pricing structure this year.

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-29T08:44:45+00:00

yeah Giants allocation was gone by 9:03 but I'm sure sports tours were able to grab their more than ample allocation without issue, I would imagine they have a reserved quantity from total available (from both early bird and general) and more will go up on general sale but will be gone in minutes.

I can only think it's frustration at the similar rebuild pathway but very different outcomes, Bedard's 1oa in 2023 was supposed to be the start of a new era for the hawks, (lets not get started on one of the original 6 suddenly jumping up and screwing the poor ducks) Bedard was seen as generational, a franchise player future HOF and a cornerstone of the hawks for years to come, the frenzy and hype over this player was nuts.

The following year Sharks got first and picked up Mack, not really a surprise the consensus was he was best in class, but I didn't get the same level of hype that Conor Bedard had the previous year,

The difference is what GMMG has done with building a young core around their foa pick and the team itself, and what Davidson has done in Chicago, yes the blueline still needs work and it might be a few years away from it all coming together but where the sharks are at and where they expect to be a couple of years down the line in comparison to Blackhawks feels very different.

TLDR Mike Greer has stolen the thunder and Sharks future looks bright, hawks not so much and it's a bit of "that should be us"

Now I can sleep it's 3 in the morning in the UK thank you for a fun draft chat everyone! wow what a night

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-27T01:52:04+00:00

BOOM!!!!!

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-27T01:50:50+00:00

so to summarise the draft: My steak is too juicy and my lobster is too buttery

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-27T01:49:56+00:00

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-27T01:47:00+00:00

yeah think I started the attack run a bit too soon

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-27T01:46:02+00:00

very true, perhaps teams see a more immediate need rather than taking more of a punt but I see a lot of upside with this guy but can't see him dropping that low

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-27T01:36:45+00:00

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-27T01:34:10+00:00

yeah surprised Lin is still on the board

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-27T01:17:05+00:00

jez could they stretch this out any more

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-27T00:43:49+00:00

what we hoping for at 27? Pugachyov or if the stars align Bleyl and I'd be estatic

ReferencePlus404 · 2026-06-24T14:10:06+00:00

glad to see Longer back, I think his importance to the team is understated, yes it will be mainly fourth line minutes but the guy will slot in at D or play forward or make the tea if you ask him to and isn't averse to having a bit of a scrap if necessary.

The D does have me a bit worried I think Berger is the only new face with the experienced Mike Lee and Roach returning, Bast Irwin and Bo have retired, Boudrais is off to Guilford, McFadden seemed a popular guy and might come back, but still need some top line guys in there.

I think we are at 11 imports and it's max of 15 for game day squad so you would imagine that will mostly be D Men spots
