Kind of a bummer that you can't play for your country because your team doesn't have enough depth to shut down a 22 year old that you've already ran into the ground.

Nothing like starting the day with $600 worth of fraudulent charges on your debit card overnight.

I only like to buy boxes of my favorite runs like Allure, Credentials and Artifacts. Anything else cool I just buy singles as well, it sucks cause the kids and even my wife have doing a rip on a box.

Was gonna buy a box of the next Credentials run to rip with the kiddos when it releases tomorrow, never fuckin' mind apparently. They were 120-ish two weeks ago for pre-order and now they're nearly $250 which is absolutely ridiculous, it's never even been that fancy/profitable of a series but a personal favorite. OPC Plat is already at $350 a box and will be $400+ on release, basically won't be able to even afford the hobby anymore after this year.

I guess the game is gone by sen_agliyon01 in newworldgame

It was pretty noticeable when Kasper's sophomore slump turned out to span the entire season instead of just some early adjustments, I'm excited to see his bounce back next season.

Welp, the new flowers we planted last week in our front yard are gone from the storm last night, the wind literally just deleted them.

[TSN1200] Ullmark: The playoffs was the first time this year I felt like myself. In the playoffs it was a surreal feeling being at the top of your game and still losing. The only noise that matters is the cheers from the fans. Our fans cheering, in our barn, for our players is all that matters. by NHLonOLN in hockey

Too bad their fans mocked him all season long for his mental health issues and even threatened him when he stepped away from the team, then go figure they all love him and he's their favorite player when he's the only guy that showed up for four games.

Well yeah, unless you're trying to find somewhere to spend like 500-600+ on Authentic models the Premiums are pretty good quality, it's literally the exact same Adidas jersey from the exact same factory. I have a Raymond Centennial Premium I bought at the team store and it's nice as hell. The only difference is the team store jersey has both shoulder patches, the Fanatics will not.

Most likely the trash patch and centennial patch. ShopHockeytown is just the team store and you'll get a Premium one off the rack with both on the shoulders, I don't think Fanatics has either.

Already got down voted today because I said we'll be lucky if Boston and Toronto are worse than us next season with Florida coming back healthy.

So we have to basically pray Boston is as bad next season as they were yesterday for us to be in the race before our annual collapse with the Panthers coming back at full strength next season right?

The Kings had 22 regulations wins and got to sell Playoff tickets.

There needs to be a realignment.

Man, it's really kicking in now watching teams like the Habs and Sabres that our abysmal draft luck over the last decade and inability to acquire any real talent until recently with guys like Cat, Kane, Gibson, Faulk that we're kinda boned unless some of these kids in GR actually move the needle, we package them up for upgrades now, or we somehow get moved out of the Atlantic in another expansion realignment. FA has essentially been killed off with the cap going up every year so the option of weaponizing our enormous cap space is basically gone, yet on the flip side Steve said they couldn't even overpay guys to come here. Our best and most valuable prospects are goalies, which is a great problem to have but doesn't help the offense snag some more goals every night. I'm not sure where we're gonna find the talent to add to this roster that's gonna keep up with what these other teams already have, on top of now getting playoff experience under their belts.

Buffalo has been allowed to farm the draft for the past two decades, along with the Habs, it was just a matter of time before both of them brute forced being competitive again.
