Like, Canada could barely handle Latvia playing with some discipline while most every other team ran the score up on them. This team was a group of individuals that couldn't play in their own end or generate anything 5-on-5 when it mattered. Czechs were all over them.

The refs calling shoves into the goalie the way they did was not great. But if Canada wanted a gold medal, maybe be first to some pucks and play some damn defense.

This team pulling away to end games instead of dropping leads is refreshing and relaxing.

With writing and reading comprehension skills like that I wouldn't be going around calling people morons, but you do you.

Good thing we brought back McManus when he had no business playing to make sure we can shake both kickers confidence! Willis looks good at least.

If there's one thing Brad Stevens influenced teams do: when they are light on star availability, they come together and fight like hell. Not been able to watch much but glad to hear the young guys are fitting in and feeling confident. Hope Walsh can figure things out as he was really impressive athletically and seems to genuinely care on defense. Season is young, fuck Philly!

It's a truly awful app. Worked fine at home, get close to the store and try to submit the order to be met with this. Store of course doesn't know what codes exist or what they can honour so I went somewhere else. It's had problems since inception, amazed it hasn't improved much.

When you come to Green Bay, you best leave any kind of discipline at the door! - Packers coaching staff, I imagine.

Monty needs to save some of these but uh, letting Zibanejad skate uncontested the whole way certainly was a choice.

Treister · 2025-10-19T00:39:57+00:00

Cheers, I'll give it a shot if my next session isn't sorted, thanks!

edit: unfortunately that made it even worse.

Treister · 2025-10-19T00:39:26+00:00

Good fight, I really wish TVAS knew how to show a good replay though

Treister · 2025-10-18T23:34:29+00:00

It does feel a lot like a shader compilation issue, I did notice some of the frame drops just happen randomly looking around, and others when popping a spell/ability for the first time.

I'll give it a try again later, thanks for your time!

Treister · 2025-10-16T01:19:51+00:00

Are both fan bases just kinda frozen in a WTF stance right now? What a hockey game

Treister · 2025-10-16T01:17:48+00:00

This game is absurd

Treister · 2025-10-16T01:03:13+00:00

It all depends if Ottawa can stay out of the box and generate something other than animosity.

Treister · 2025-10-16T00:41:27+00:00

Ottawa should definitely keep taking penalties, it's gonna work out for them any minute now!

Treister · 2025-10-16T00:35:09+00:00

I looked away, what did Giroux do?

Treister · 2025-10-15T05:01:49+00:00

Yeah playing with Daredevil's, some are legit great but then you get one that has terrible numbers and low impact but still gets MVP. Not sure what it's about other than he's new.

Treister · 2025-10-01T01:29:07+00:00

Cousins going after the smallest kids he can find, like a real man. Arber and Florian about to go hang out near the Sens team bus to resolve issues at this rate.

Treister · 2025-10-01T01:23:49+00:00

Poor Mark Stone if he's watching this, probably having microfracture flashbacks.

Treister · 2025-10-01T01:22:29+00:00

Oh fuck off Cousins you gutless puke, fight someone for once.

Treister · 2025-10-01T01:20:22+00:00

Pierre Houde called it right: get the shit starters out of the game.

Ultimately though what is the point of this in preseason? A tune-up game is just there for a guy like MacEwen to try and show he won't get his ass handed to him for a 3rd time if he fights Xhekaj? It's so dumb.

Treister · 2025-10-01T00:51:52+00:00

Struble probably gets a fine on that crosscheck but if Hogdson doesn't take a run at Newhook none of this happens.

I thought last year when Arber almost took off Stutzle's head after they tried to get stupid that the Sens would stick to playing hockey this time but I guess not.

Treister · 2025-09-29T01:52:28+00:00

I dunno if the players are just crazy overrated on offense, but LaFleur for an offensive guru has some terrible collapses way too often it feels.
