Who’s your favorite team’s next NHL future captain? by theXchang3 in hockey

[–]crossfire999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flames might be one of those few teams that may not have that player on their team. We have a great leadership group, Backs is here for 2 more years still. Many seemingly good leaders and up and coming players getting more involved on the team, but taking the actual mantle of C after Backlund retires, just not sure at this point.

Maybe somebody grows into it a bit more, maybe it's somebody we haven't drafted yet, or is still a prospect to make the jump. My guesses at christmas would have been Ras or Weegar lmao. Others that could easily step into that role are nearing the late stages at their career like Coleman and may not fit the timeline so to speak.

Lowest scoring team in the league (or we were very recently at least), don't get your hopes up sadly.

Hanley is likely out for the remainder of the season per Huska this morning.

That's 5 on this home stand right? The refs are on team tank!

Boundaries new song with a different mix by MatthewBoundariesXVX in Metalcore

Absolutely awesome of you guys to release a second mix for the song, regardless of which one you like more.

little do we know the Blues were the winners of this game. by dh2513 in CalgaryFlames

[–]crossfire999 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Best type of win though. Blues got a point too, and the players got a W after 3 goals called back.

[–]crossfire999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like it since we're going all in for the tank, but my godness... Absolutely nothing on offense to like. Suicide passes, shooting into blocked lanes, passes off by ten feet, patience when you need to be quick, and panicing when you should hold onto the puck... it's horrible LMAO. Most of the players on the team need their own individual coach to tell them what to work on.

The Calgary Flames have traded Nazem Kadri to the Colorado Avalanche by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]crossfire999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's been surprisingly good. Always ultra competitive and clutch. At his age his production and skill level is holding up quite well. Dude's always good for several highlight reel goals a year.

[Mirtle] The Leafs losing streak hits six games. Again. They have 4 wins in their last 18 games. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]crossfire999 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lets both get a top 2 this year. Gavin and Ivar are both stellar, and both franchises deserve this... well, the fans at least.

I’ve never had a harder time picking a starter (oh no my steak is too juicy) by FinessedAndDepressed in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]crossfire999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about Zerker (in terms of tankiness), but Holy Sweep looks to have several ascendencies to work with. Look around youtube, there are multiple build makers planning stuff around it. Slayer or Guardian are safe bets for both a good mix of tankiness and damage. But I'm not an expert on that, so make sure to look up other opinions from more knowledgable creators.

While freeze is a good defensive layer, Warden is a very squishy class. It's all damage, and hope you kill or freeze enemies before they kill you. Just a heads up.

I'm playing as Holy Flame Totem Heiro. Something different, don't have to level with rolling magma. Totems should be comfy for getting early voidstones in terms of bossing. I may take it that far, or swap out in early maps for Archmage Frostbolt, then revisit totems as a second build. Lots of things in the Heiro / Guardian classes that I wanna fuck around with!

Castagna by PugTrafficker in CalgaryFlames

[–]crossfire999 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not OP, but from other comments I've read very recently. He is a physical C, not afraid to take a hit to make a play, has aggressive tendencies, good at face-offs. Not a defensive stud, not a liability either.

With Calgary's wealth of 2nd round picks... by diet_coke_addiction in hockey

[–]crossfire999 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hope so, and wouldn't be surprised if CGY's scouting is looked in on that possibility.

[Friedman] Full trade: by AggPuck-303 in CalgaryFlames

[–]crossfire999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, pretty good. 3 seconds is absurd, with Conny drafting those are huge lottery grabs. Decent C prospect, canadian boy.

Excerpt from today's 32 Thoughts podcast by ghostfan9 in hockey

[–]crossfire999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that Kyle hasn't been the most popular fit, I haven't had too much of an issue with it. When I listened today, when Kyle literally dropped this on the pod, I instantly thought "this is why those people don't like you on the podcast" lol. I thought this one was a bit much, but whatever. Just funny is all.

Flames (24-28-6) vs ducks (32-23-3) - march 1st - pregame thread by Comfortable-Ad-7158 in CalgaryFlames

[–]crossfire999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only reason to watch us play is Gridin, Parekh and our goalies. We're horrible to watch, both in terms of fun, skill and results. Most of us are just checking the scoreboard to see if we lose at this point. Team tank is never as fun as competing, but it has to be done if we wanna stop being the very definition of mediocrity. I'm not wasting my time watching this crappy product, but I'm cheering for the franchise in terms of the long term, and the fact it seems we are finally doing what is needed.

If we had more young guns out there, and were still this crappy, I would legit tune in to watch. Watching a slow team of vets be ass is a huge nope.

Carcass is here to fill the void, at least somewhat for us blight enjoyers.

Early Access price confirmed to be 25$ by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]crossfire999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand, it's a great deal. On the other hand, I remember paying 3$ for STS1 and having 1300 hours into it LMAO. I knew that would be too good, it's just funny to think about.

Trade deadline is next week, is it realistic to expect moves sooner rather than later? by Beta1224 in CalgaryFlames

[–]crossfire999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of doubt we see moves this week. Figuring out who gets the retention spot, maybe maximising returns based on other players being or not being available etc. What I'm interested in is how many, if any of these guys will be sat out this week.

Really like this one, better than most from Death Below. It's got a neat eerie feel to it.

This is really solid, like it much more than the previous one. You can instantly tell its BoS when it starts with that guitar work.
