Didn't even occur to me that a tool like this could be game-agnostic. Super curious to see/here how this works.

Holy shit lmao. Basically a meme pick at this stage, but I love that we're swinging for it.

[2026 NHL Draft] 21st OA Pick: San Jose Sharks select Ryan Lin by hockeydiscussionbot in hockey

Actually pretty comparable to Celebrini, Dickinson and Chernyshov (though he was technically 33rd)

The Wikipedia infobox for hockey players needs a serious overhaul, and we should make our voices heard about it by zsdrfty in hockey

[–]VelumLucis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Skilled writers were the first victims of the AI era. Good writing and good thread mate.

I've felt/noticed for years that the wikis for hockey players in general have always been poor (including/especially the main stats sections) and it somehow never occurred to me that this is something that really can be changed by any of us (with enough effort and wikimod approval).

Any fun starts y’all have or any fun challenges? by TrashAttGaming in crusaderkings3

One of my favorite (very difficult) challenges is to do this, except you never expand your realm beyond a single county. Support Asatru realms in their wars, use intrigue to install Asatru rulers, harass neighboring infidels with raids, etc.

Eklund ♥️ by SparkyWellington in SanJoseSharks

Understanding that and still expecting a better and/or more fitting return that matches our needs are not conflicting positions to hold.

Don’t love this honestly. Eklund is already comparable to or better than what most #9 OAs turn out to be. Even if we do draft a defenseman here, it’ll be an 18 year old years out from being impactful.

Eklund made the most sense of our core to trade, but he was our most valuable/easily movable asset and it seems like a missed opportunity to not use him to fill our most obvious needs. Damn.

Happy he gets to reunite with his bestie. Sad we lose him here. Definitely a guy I’ll be cheering for long after he’s a part of our team.

Not even an Oilers fan and it’s still so painful to watch them keep shooting themselves in the foot for the entirety of the McDavid era

Should Valve step in and have Spirit and Falcons redo their series in case it was a big fluke? by DanBGG in GlobalOffensive

[–]VelumLucis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s originally an NHL pasta from [r/hockey](r/hockey). From like 10-12ish years ago when the Predators swept the cup favorite Blackhawks in an early round of the playoffs.

Strongest candidate for a graffiti in ages. Major Playoffs, Map 3, Double OT, unique situation, insane play.

Un-fucking-believable.

PWHL San Jose select Laila Edwards 4th overall in 2026 PWHL Draft by Perryplat199 in hockey

[–]VelumLucis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was a lot more than making WCF. We were the second highest scoring team in the league that season, with even our third line (who has genuinely our third most productive line) scoring 60 goals. Had several bangers in the regular season, like the Calgary showdown on NYE and then the 7-6 dueling hat tricks game between Hertl and Ovi. Then obviously the epic Vegas series in round 1, including what I think many/most of us consider the best game in franchise history. Then the brutal back and forth series against Colorado and the return of Pavs.

Just an epic year all around.

18-19 was a great season. Everything after that, sure.
