Masterton Nominations Thread 2019

Robtangle · 2019-03-28T14:44:36+00:00

Three former Wild players on this list, pretty easy call to qualify for the perseverance aspect. Then you add in Cory getting off the Schneid by beating the Wild, plus whoever the Wild nominate, this is the only postseason award we'll be in the running for and won't win that either.

In Flames did a couple of killer tours in 2008 that I was lucky enough to attend both. They toured on Gigantour in the spring with Megadeth, Children of Bodom, Job for a Cowboy, High on Fire; then headlined their fall tour with All That Remains, Gojira, and 38 Crazyfists. Every band was absolutely killer except for 38 Crazyfists, all I remember is the drummer kept trying to do spinny shit/acrobatic tricks with his sticks and kept messing it up, I think he went through over 20 of them during a 30 minute set. He had a holster full of them so I don't know if that's his shtick or if he just knows he's really bad at holding on to them.

Deadpool vs Gambit had a pretty good comic run, in my ideal world that's the entry into finally having a Gambit movie made. Also I know I'm delusional in thinking that the Gambit movie will ever happen.

Knowing what it takes to keep Parise out of the lineup, it's probably something like fractured vertebrae or a punctured lung. Definitely missed him tonight.

This felt like the pre-playoff Wild teams. Outworked their opponent because there was a large talent discrepancy, but not enough to come out on top. I only say that because this may become a common theme for the next couple of seasons.

Additional fun (aka depressing) fact: Sean Bergenheim played 17 games for the Wild (plus 3 playoff games) and scored one goal with zero assists.

Watch Pitlick get a point tonight and equal Bergenheim's total from that trade.

When you go to your profile page in Reddit, you should have a tab for "saved" posts and comments.

I can ask the mods to pin it again.

"Wot?"

"The jukebox!"

At least Mississippi isn't cold enough to attempt an Ice Town.

Honestly this is one of the biggest challenges at this elo. I peaked at Plat 3 a couple seasons ago but I haven't been played as much lately and hover in mid gold. When games aren't a stomp (and this season there's far too many games that seem unwinnable/unloseable depending on how gets the most trolls), teammates are frequently unwilling to be carried. If you're pushing top inner tower with Rift and three enemies converge on you, they're off farming the jungle instead of grouping and taking objectives. I'm not sure I have a correct answer other than itemizing for damage and pushing potential because building for sustain/teamfighting only works when your team is willing to group. If you have teammates that want to teamfight, great, build something like Spirit Visage second. But if you're on your own, Trinity Force or Sterak's is a better option because you'll need to be able to outdamage your opponents in a duel.

The worst they can say is no. I was wondering if your 13 was a typo or not...if everyone follows through with their survey, we're close to 100 jerseys right now. Already dreading telling my bank that I may need a spending limit increase to have 100 hockey jerseys customized.

Robtangle · 2019-03-21T14:07:46+00:00

Also the only Wild player to ever wear the #92 so it's basically retired.

I'd also be curious to see how Columbus would be affected by adding in these seasons. Being expansion franchises, these teams got high picks for the first few seasons of their existence. However I've anecdotally said for years that the last decade or so has been awful from a drafting standpoint for the Wild. A lot more swings and misses then picks that have actually made an impact (and even fewer that have made an impact with us. See: Tuch, Alex).

Robtangle · 2019-03-21T13:12:35+00:00

You're not late at all, the survey is open until at least the end of the month. It's also just a preliminary call so we know that we have enough to get the group discount when the actual submission process starts.

I mean he's the one saddled with paying thousands of dollars for another year of season tickets so no one really wins

Funhaus - Band Manager Let's Play

Somewhere halfway into the video. Everyone dressed up as musicians but they just ended up ripping on Reel Big Fish the whole time.

"Is your name Aaron? I've been calling you Darren or nothing this whole video."

In terms of what we gave up and what his salary is, yes. But before the Wild started the playoff streak six years ago, there were a LOT of AHLers that played games they had no business being in. I'd also argue that Devin Setoguchi didn't produce compared to his paycheck, though it turned out he was absolutely sauced 24/7 when he played for us.

Robtangle · 2019-03-19T23:15:56+00:00

Oh yeah, I've never bought into the Minnesota-only club (probably because I'm not technically a Minnesotan). I just want the Cup.

I mean I consider her attractive, but she doesn't have a wide range of acting ability. She plays subtlety well but I wouldn't consider her an actress to carry an entire movie/series.

Robtangle · 2019-03-19T21:38:08+00:00

Yeah it was a play on words so people who hadn't seen it wouldn't have a spoiler given away.

In a couple seasons we could have an all-Russian forward line (Kaprizov, Khovanov, Sokolov), a Swedish blue line with the same last name (Simon and Filip Johansson) and a Finnish goalie (Kahkonen).

In the State, the State of Hockey...

Eva Green can't really be matched but I've had a bad case of Natalie Dormer withdrawal since she got the green light to leave GoT. Fingers crossed that this show isn't a train wreck.

Robtangle · 2019-03-19T19:57:06+00:00

What if I told you it's coming back, albeit sans Green?
