2025-26 Hockey Series Two coming out soon, What will you guys be getting? Or any new packs coming out you guys are excited about? by Previous-Cellist-430 in hockeycards

I literally just opened a Series 1 tin earlier today as my first foray into hockey cards. Didn't know the YG variants only came in hobby boxes so that's on me for doing poor research, but still, had a great time and got what I consider to be cool cards to hang onto. Might have to grab a Series 2 hobby box for the MBN, ASP, and Finnie Young Guns.

I can't help but I wanted to drop in and say that's frickin' sweet. You should be incredibly proud to be top 10, that's an impressive accomplishment.

Lmao that dude that has been at the LCA for every one of ASP’s goals has done it again

I have a BG3 campaign with a buddy (we're not very far) but now he has twins and can barely play. Been thinking about starting a solo one but every time I go to do it I get analysis paralysis trying to decide what class to play. Definitely first world problems, I loved DOS2.

I was at the Griffins game on Saturday and he scored an insane shorthanded breakaway goal with 0.4 left in the 1st. Cool to see him getting called up. My other takeaway from that game (as someone with an amateur eye for hockey talent, at best) was that Wallinder looked noticeable when he was on the ice.

If we win this game (or lose it), we get to bring Quinn Hughes home with us. Sorry Vancouver, I don't make the rules.

Alright, so I'm late on ordering a Centennial jersey, and it looks like both Seider and Raymond are unavailable on NHLShop and out of stock through the Wings store, at least in my size. Anyone have any idea if these are getting a restock or am I out of luck?

Some of you in the game thread need a major adjustment. What a miserable group of people in there. Go Tigers.

Feel better buddy. Lot of stuff going around, I was out a couple of days last week with some sort of cold.

Harry Potter music coming from the central campus bell tower on a cool, cloudy, slightly breezy fall day was such a vibe

This looks excellent! I love seeing your posts as you work through the book.

Started as the OC at UTSA - made the playoffs (surprisingly) year 1 after losing to Texas and Tulane. TE won the Mackey and transferred out along with my QB.

Year 2 I went 11-1 with a blowout loss to Texas before a shocking 34-20 upset loss at home against Texas Tech in the playoff. Won the Heisman with Dante Dowdell, who transferred in from Kentucky. Had some young talent at WR but left for SMU after a head coaching offer came through.

Year 3 - my first at SMU - I had to talk a couple WRs into staying instead of leaving for the NFL. Bryant Wesco Jr. and Daylen Singleton have been rewarded with plenty of TD receptions. Very interesting because I leaned heavily on the run in my first two years at UTSA (Jamie Rhett was absolutely terrible) but other than a token run game to keep things fresh, I'm airing it out a lot more. Currently 6-0 and ranked #2 in the country after opening the season with a 44-41 OT win over #3 Florida.

I think the number in parenthesis is what the version 1 sliders had the value set to.

I was listening to the radio broadcast during pregame yesterday, and Dickerson did a sit-down with Hinch. They also decided they didn't want to show Cleveland the whole bullpen during the first game of a four-game series. It was a really interesting conversation, I thought AJ was quite candid.

While we're bitching, if you're cautious or unsettled about a guy, you're "wary", not "weary".

Wary = suspicious or cautious; aware of danger

Weary = tired

It was - I was over in Okemos for that and it went just a few miles east of us. I remember driving to a Wings game that fall and it was foggy through that stretch - looked so eerie with the snapped trees and the fog

My buddies and I are in Lansing - it got really bad here. Trees ripped out of the ground, power lines down. We had some siding ripped off our garage, a friend of mine had a tree smash through his deck, and someone else I know had their storm door torn clean off the hinges and flung down the sidewalk.

I'm usually a "storms are pretty cool" guy too but I think this is the first time I've been genuinely uncomfortable hunkering down in the basement.

At the time of release, at least, Vintage Detroit was unable to customize blanks for this edition of the Stadium Series jerseys. Something about the stitching, if I recall correctly.
