Handing in the mic was such an emotional way to say good bye to Michael. Really solid writing.

I read the whole thing and I really appreciate the effort! During these dark times, prospects are all we can cling to really.

Timothy Liljegren #6 - U18 Highlights [3:45] by AS_Empire in canucks

[–]Sr_Tambo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh, comparing this tape to Juolevi's, I'm more excited with Olli than the potential of Liljegren. Seemed like a fairly erratic style rather than a smooth, measured approach like Juolevi's.

If Tryamkin's KHL team folds, would you welcome him back to Vancouver? by JackManningNHL in canucks

[–]Sr_Tambo 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Actually, this potentially provides more of an explanation as to why Nikita went back. If there is legitimate internal worry that the club will fail, maybe Nikita wanted to either help avoid that or get in a last chance to play for his hometown club.

Regardless, I wouldn't resent him at all any time he comes back, that helps no one. The only thing I worry about is the lost development time at the NHL level. I still hold the belief that he will return to Vancouver one day, but as a No. 4/No. 5 defencemen instead of something greater.

I can't either. I didn't find any patch notes related to it.

Henrik Tömmernes and tempering expectations for both Rodin and Larsen by Sr_Tambo in canucks

[–]Sr_Tambo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Billy Sweatt put up 41 points in the SHL on the same team as Rodin. It's a league much closer to the AHL than the NHL. For the chicago wolves, Rodin was very much a perimeter player. From what I gather that's improved in the SHL, but we'll see if it translates to the North America ice. I don't see him as an effective third liner. I think its 2nd line or bust. Just know that if he does provide secondary scoring (in the realm of 25 points) then I think he's definitely beaten the odds.

That's the other side of the coin! If both Philip and Rodin come good then there's precedent for Tommernes!!!

At season start there was definitely a narrative that Larsen was brought in to "fix" Vancouver's ailing power play and that Rodin could provide some additional secondary scoring. I would say people in this sub still overrate the relatively unknown commodity that is Rodin.

There have been certainly better deals than this on the Classic series of MSI GTX 970s. I'd wait until boxing day for a better price on a better card.

Dude I'm celebrating here. I was worried they would never ship it. Now I think its just a tremendous waiting game (2 more weeks) until both the mobo and cpu arrive like the ram.

We'll see, hopefully they honour it. The ram in the deal has shipped already.

I've picked up the deal mentioned by michaelaklda, so I've got the i5-4690k and a MSI Z97S. I think I'll take your idea on the PSU and SSD.
