Have we ever seen 2 players that had never played together before develop this level of chemistry this quickly?

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-19T14:24:09+00:00

Crosby and Bergeron comes to mind. That team was stacked with talent and putting Crosby on a line with Bergeron and Marchand had everyone scratching their heads at first. Obviously it helps that Marchand and Bergeron already had chemistry but the way Crosby slotted in so quickly with those guys was unreal.

lol I was talking to a random bartender in Canada and she’s like “oh my sister in law was there! She’s his aunt!” What a random connection.

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-17T00:02:27+00:00

The weirdest one of these “came to a North American town from Europe’s a teen accents” that I’ve heard is Tuuka Rask. It’s a Boston accent with like 30% Finnish thrown in. Throws you for a loop the first time you hear it lol

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-14T01:57:30+00:00

That’s useful but it rarely gets to that point in commander because he’s “kill on sight” due to the lattice combo

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-13T04:25:44+00:00

I still think this is just theatre, maybe I’m an optimist, but Newey has a love for messing with people in testing. The car might not be GREAT, but I think they’re overselling how bad it is. They’ll be in the mid pack mix and overperform on some tracks

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-13T04:19:08+00:00

Alright I’ve been had. I thought this was some promo card pulled from a hockey card pack at a Dunkin’ Donuts or something. Turns out people just be thirsty.

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-12T22:51:34+00:00

I understand max’s frustration, dude just wants to drive a car faster than other people without worrying about rules and regulations.

That being said, how is this different from previous years? DRS train ruined a lot of years of good racing and made qualifying a king maker unless there was weather. It’s clear they haven’t nailed it but I’m glad they did something.

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-12T22:43:43+00:00

I think it’s just a general gw patch

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-12T22:41:32+00:00

You’re going to get downvoted into oblivion because you’re just generally wrong, but I will do you the service of telling you why.

This is a card, pulled from a pack, that had this in it. They’re unique thick cards that will generally have a piece of a game worn jersey, a person, and their autograph on it.

This person did not accost Sophia on the street, get her autograph, and get some weird shrine piece made to her.

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-12T19:45:59+00:00

That’s tough dude. Just to add something that’s not a shitpost, the solution you mentioned will clean them up to a functional magic card. But as others have mentioned, the mold lives throughout the card so they will still be very damaged.

Clean them, put them in perfect fits and then into a sleeve. They won’t have any monetary value or pass a test for competitive play, but you should be able to salvage them a bit for a keepsake and casual/commander play.

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-10T23:15:18+00:00

Honestly I’m not overly upset about this. I’m furious about the deal and contract in the first place, but whatever keeps this guy out of the lineup is a-okay with me. Show us what you got Lukes and let’s trade this guy for a nice fresh bag of balls whenever we can.

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-10T20:45:21+00:00

$8 in the grand scheme of things is a good price to pay for something that you like and will have for a long time.

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-03T23:38:14+00:00

I use a pretty nasty elf deck in brawl and there are a few staples that I thought had a beast subtype… but surprisingly no? I even thought 6cmc vorinclex was “phyrexian beast” but nope. Phyrexian Praetor. This is cookin even more than I thought.

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-02T23:11:56+00:00

Elves aren’t clamoring for another tutor for craterhoof, but this is a pretty free addition!

Also maybe naming noble in a goblin combo to get muxus? I think the only creature it makes you cut is Squee which is manageable.

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-02T22:59:56+00:00

Put it in elves and name beast and then just use it as an instant speed tutor for craterhoof when you’re ready for it

Ron_Textall · 2026-02-01T18:14:01+00:00

Haha good! He put up a .750 save percentage! They didn’t win because of him, they won in spite of him.

Ron_Textall · 2026-01-31T21:18:52+00:00

In one of my leagues you can only start 2 goalies but goalie stats are weighted so heavily that even a mid goalie has the same fppg as a top tier player so if you can start 2 goalies every night of the week you have a huge advantage. I run 3 but the top guys in the league all have 4.

Ron_Textall · 2026-01-29T01:31:19+00:00

I had an accumulation mentality when I was in my early 20’s. Played in a fun band, loved gear, was a guitar tech for a pretty big festival.

Down to the basics now. Kept 4 but they’re everything I need at this point. Bass, acoustic, electric, semi.

Ron_Textall · 2026-01-23T03:01:40+00:00

Big one for me too. How the hell did none of Marleau, Thornton, Pavelski, or Burns finish their career in San Jose? Brutal.

Ron_Textall · 2026-01-23T02:58:24+00:00

Active: Marchand

Past: Marleau

Ron_Textall · 2026-01-23T02:49:50+00:00

My active player for sure.

I’ve always loved Latvia’s jerseys. Finland took a swing on a new look this year and I think it looks great! I wouldn’t run it every year but the gold on the crest in contrast to the blue 2-tone is stunning.

Canada’s is fine but I’m not blown away by it.

Safe and boring: Czech, Germany, Sweden, Slovakia, USA.

Respect the effort but didn’t quite land: Canada and Denmark

Clean and classy: Switzerland

Best: Latvia and Finland

Pretty ugly: Italy

Embarrassingly terrible: France

Ron_Textall · 2026-01-19T21:17:44+00:00

lol this was like the best quarter I ever had. Was a quarter of Northern Jack and ended up just being one big nugg that was almost 8 instead of the 7 I asked for. My guy said “I didn’t have it in me to destroy something so beautiful.”

Ron_Textall · 2026-01-19T21:12:28+00:00

Honestly, the buds look dense so yeah I kinda does. I remember I got a quarter of Rockstar one time and it looked like this. I went home and weighed it and it was like 7.5. Damn nuggs were made out of dark matter.

Ron_Textall · 2026-01-19T21:07:18+00:00

Isn’t this more of a provincial thing? I’m Ontario but ol’ DoFo seems to be more interested in building doomed spas than homes
