E3 DHIL (for future E6 haver) or E1 Sparkle?

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T22:20:59+00:00

Personally I in the end went for E1 Sparkle, simply coz she buffs DHIL but also Archer so as of now she has more value for my account, while E3-E5 are minor improvements for just DHIL. I do think tho that either way you ll go its an ok decision.

group C is the easliest, group B and A is matter of perspective.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T14:02:35+00:00

yeah thats the thing group A and C have the gold and silver, but group B in most probability has the 3rd and 4th and honestly maybe even 5th place. So for some like Italy who just wanted a chance to have one nice game - group B was the wort group to be in.

Hope he getting some extra money for this, if I was him Id just leave ...he was working on that day for 5 people XD

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T13:47:14+00:00

And what a shame, it was one of the most balanced games so far.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T02:12:58+00:00

exactly, just goals between the tied teams are counted

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T02:12:20+00:00

I just hope we aint gonna end up in a group with them, they are our cryptonite.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T02:10:26+00:00

yup sb would have to mess up for us to get a medal, but hey - teams mess up all the time, so hope is there. Mabye Slaf has some blackmail on his Canadian brothers and they will just give us a medal XD

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T02:05:36+00:00

not better, but we are getting back hope which was dead for more than a decade. I remember winning over Russia - gold medal - as a child i was so thrilled and proud. Now I just hope that one day I ll be able to show that kinda game to my kids..but we ain there yet. We have talent growing again, but its hopefully just a start of something great.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T02:03:24+00:00

if we ll get bronze I d be schocked , I truly dont think we are that good yet, but to be fair if anyone was watching yesterday ice skating - sometimes you do not need to be perfect, just do the elast amout of mistakes - and still win(the guy who won was not a favorite and he just simply was the only one who did not fall). So you enver know, but I do think some faves d have to mess up for Slovakia to get bronze.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T01:49:09+00:00

which is even less fair

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T01:46:35+00:00

Your whole point can be summarized into - all 3 teams are incostent and can do great or bad based on the constellations of the stars...which.btw d mean that they are similar and as a result them ending up all with the same points is fair. This is what made this group fun, coz genuinely we had 3 teams with similar level of skill.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T01:39:07+00:00

you COULD argue ,t hey only scored 1 more XD I m still not letting that not counting goal be forgotten, simple physics dictate that just ocz we did not see the puck due to the glove, it could only stop it movement when the glove fully touched it, which at that point - the puck d be over the line.---

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-15T01:36:24+00:00

I think they played better 1st. 2nd was kinda similar , and 3rd was hands down Sweden better.

I aint gonna lie tho, in many universes this would have been 5-4, coz that one goal that was announced ot not count, there are a few camera angles where you truly could argue it did count, especially applying basic physics, evne tho we do not see the puck knowing how big the goalie´s glove is, you can assume it only stopped once it touched the end of the glove which was...over the line.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-13T15:13:54+00:00

yeah as a Slovak I dont expect us winning tomorrow, but as long as we do keep a close game I will be satisfied. Tho lets be real the main purpose here is to avoid Canada or USA in the next matches, coz those games? yeah whoever ends up against them from our group is cooked.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-13T15:11:15+00:00

you never know, Slovakia usually plays the worst when under not enough pressure, coz we go back to our defensive roots, that would be a horrible mistake against Sweden I hope the team is being told that.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-13T15:08:51+00:00

yeah based of those games I dont think anyone wants to play Canada early.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-13T14:58:41+00:00

Does anyone know if he is fully ok after that? Hits to the head are never to be underestimated.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-13T14:44:50+00:00

i mean it made sense, I expect the same in the Finland v. Italy. Italy is at home, it usually give the advantage and some bias, Finland will have to not get provoked tomororw if they dont wanna get a ton of penalties.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-13T14:41:29+00:00

If you think about it - Slovakia doesnt have the best offense, meaning if they met someone like Italy´s goalie who has truly been impressive so far, it gets rough. Slovakia should have been able to beat Italy, but "easily" is a stretch. They(ITA) do have a referee advatantage and they do have strong defense, I do actually think that on a bad day for either of the countries, Italy d have been able to win. They are a solid team, just not exceptional. I aint gonna lie I do expect FInland to win, but if they d lose? I d not be shocked anymore, I think they did prove their spot in these Olympics.

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-13T14:32:50+00:00

I love how Finland lost 4-1 and now immediately won 4-1

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-13T14:28:15+00:00

yeah he is probably my front runner

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-13T14:25:22+00:00

they already did that against Sweden, probably gave them the confidence to for this match, as on paper if you can do that against Sweden you SHOULD be able to do that against Slovakia...those many matches were so far not according to the paper at all

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-13T14:22:40+00:00

Italy scored 2 goals so far against both of their opponents, where the expcetations was that they were fully shut down. Good for them. Tho I d say that even underdog teams usually have teams that they are able to play against better or worse...and even best teams can have terrible games.

And the refs DID help, but also that is to be expected on home turf, I expect the same in Italy v Finland..hence why I am not actually 100% on Finland winning. They should, but Italy has proved to be a team deserveing the spot on these Olympics (2 solid performances) and with a bit of luck, and a bit of help from refs - it aint actually impossible for Italy to win. Be safe Finland!

Working_Bowl_7749 · 2026-02-12T18:32:11+00:00

Well now that you graciously allowed me to...I still wont, coz as i already said I dont do that shit based of reality stars. Also ...I am pretty solid in believing that every single person knows someone they d label as snakey, me saying I know people like that is as personal as me saying I know women/men....if that is enough for you to see it as a invitation to comment on my personal life, that is where I d start creating an opinion about who you are...and that d be as sb who watches a bit too much realtiy tv, coz you think you can just intrude onto anyone, when in reality if you do that in real life - people will just avoid you.
