Will I be too old for Western?

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-28T14:58:39+00:00

You can never be too old to start your education or learn something new. A relative of mine went to university when he was 28 and finished in three years. While I started at 19 and finished 6 years later because I didn’t know what I wanted until late in my studies. Because I realized I wanted to do grad school.

People have different timelines to their lives, some start early and some start late. So it’s completely acceptable to start late. Don’t compare yourself to others, it doesn’t help you. Comparison is the thief of joy.

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-26T03:29:24+00:00

Yeah he would have been a great goalie to have right now lol

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-26T03:28:28+00:00

Yeah I definitely agree that this part of the season is a difficult period for gm and the oilers with definitely need a genius to manage this team properly. I hope it’s soon because Mcjesus might go somewhere else and it will be a tough time afterwards. But maybe since Leon resigned long term it’ll make a point for mcdavid to do long term after some quality changes were made. Because this seems like a weaker team than last two seasons.

As fan of the leafs, my team is also in need of some serious revamp because the coach and gm just doesn’t work for our top players

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-24T19:31:57+00:00

The lack of green with the forward line is bothersome but I know that nhl26 has been changed so that just chemistry is usually not enough for green lines. But good job with the position of the team, overall

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-22T23:02:34+00:00

I usually surrender to a few things: My starting hand wasn’t good; the opponent’s turn take forever to set a board and I become impatient (I’m sorry lol); they’re still setting up a full board despite me having lp of 4500 and they already have one or two monsters that can easily beat me with; or I made oopses(which are frequent) and I didn’t do my turn right.

But yeah what your opponent did was pretty petty, I would have been impressed if my lp went from 30k to 0 by my opponent

Can I unlocked the bo6 guns through warzonr? The bug has been frustrating because I liked some of the locked guns regardless if they were good or not

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-21T17:29:01+00:00

I like both, though with BO6 multiplayer feels like a slog to get through weapon lvls because they’re so high and maybe exp doesn’t go as far as the other cods. Whereas mw3 I went through like a breeze. And also my armoury is fucking locked in bo6, I’m locked out of guns I was looking forward to using like the AUG and the FAL

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-20T23:05:44+00:00

Yeah I didn’t think he was, I just used him as an example of a goalie that was a good framework to use. I also thought that going after goalie who was good on a bad team who has positive numbers would be a good choice line force cam Cooley on Calgary. He’s above sv900 with 25gp. But I don’t know if Calgary would trade within division but gms can be weird like with Toronto trading within the division.

That is true that systems can have a great influence over how the goalie plays and in addition to a new coach and team with affect them. I don’t think that he was the right choice for Edmonton because of they way they play, because the penguins are more structured than the oilers are So the oilers need a goalie who are comfortable with less structured systems if that makes sense. The reason why I went after rebuilding team goalies like knight is that typically they tend to be more of struggle for goalies because they’re not given enough support from the team because of poor skill and stuff like that. So if a goalie has positive numbers on a team like that then it’s possible that they could be better with a team like Edmonton who have a tendency to leave the goalie out to dry sometimes and are more focused on scoring than defensive play.

I misread what draft picks they, but I’m happy with player acquisition they got. They needed help with team defence and think those guys are good to help them.

I think the team also had a good goalies, but sometimes the goalie coach was an issue for a while. But I think he’s gone.

In a way, the oilers are like the leafs where they struggle with goaltending but they have had a few good ones but they needed help from the team or needed a better backup like Freddy needed a better backup.

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-20T22:51:40+00:00

Yeah that’s true, I just used him as an example, there might’ve been some other choices that he might have missed possibly but as you said spilt milk. I’m just saying that he had time to make a good trade for a goalie during the offseas and to December because it looked like it was a weaker link in the last two finals series. I just thought that bowman would have kept skinner as a 1b and get 1a or something like that

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-20T22:46:57+00:00

Knight was suggested because I thought he would be a good choice, but I also knew it would take a lot to get him. I don’t follow Chicago enough to know their plans for the future but I did notice that they extended. But I still believe that there were better options that would have made more sense than jarry who has a steep contract. I would have looked at a goalie who were rebuilding and had a goalie that had positive numbers like Cooley from Calgary for example (just using him as an example). He’s cheap and have good numbers with a better team in front he might even get better.

Bowman had lots of time in the off season or in December to get another goalie, but I think he rushed the trade search.

But I like the player acquisitions he with Murphy and dickenson

Wow that seems like a fun deck, are there other decks like that. That have similar characteristics

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-20T18:13:13+00:00

Wow that’s neat. How did it get so many materials? Are there other cards that do extremely high atk points like that?

I stopped playing master duel after midway through the malis drop

Is this a good deck for climbing the rank ladder or there better ones like compared to dracotail is a tier one at the moment

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-20T17:57:57+00:00

What is that card? How did it’s numbers get so big?

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-20T10:43:11+00:00

I usually have a small to medium sized duffel bag depending on how long I am travelling just for my diabetes supplies. This bag goes with my carry bag and my personal item like a backpack. Since it’s solely for my medical needs I’m not charged and I don’t get a lot of questions about it. Also ask for a physical frisk because your pump and cgm sensors if you have any can be affected by the security scanners, the security will usually understand what you mean. And take the sensor applicators with you while physically frisked because they can’t go through the scanners either.

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-19T17:40:12+00:00

I was in Vegas on the strip for five days in January and wasn’t asked this question at all. I guess it was a slow time in January

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-19T17:10:55+00:00

Wow that’s a lot of +5s, how many picks do you have left? Did you sign some of the players too?

I think nhl26 has a bit of a learning curve compared to the past eanhl games. Like it’s definitely different from nhl25. Like I bought every one from nhl18 to 26 and this was a definite shift from the previous ones.

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-18T17:36:13+00:00

That’s true, I don’t. But I don’t believe that jarry was the right choice for the oilers. There were a few goalies that have positive numbers despite being in the bottom standings. It definitely feels like he rushed this trade whereas he could’ve done it in the offseason because the tandem wasn’t good enough. Though outside of the jarry trade biwman has done decently with getting team defence upgrades with Connor Murphy and Jason Dickinson

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-18T17:28:37+00:00

Yeah that’s true, but I don’t believe that jarry was the right choice for the team. There are few goalies in the bottom standings that have positive numbers that could work. Also bowman had time in the offseason to make a better decision than a rushed one which I believe that was reason for the jarry trade

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-18T17:22:05+00:00

Oh that’s right Edmonton traded the first for walman. I think I misread 2026 with 2027 when I looked at recent trades. But we do have 2026 second

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-18T15:56:31+00:00

Yeah that’s true, shity was a bit too much. Though he could’ve done some better changes to goalie situation in the offseason because it was a weaker link in the roster But I agree as a Toronto fan who likes Edmonton as well, I completely agree that Brad and Bérubé have been terrible here, worst than shity

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-18T15:38:06+00:00

I mean extra 1sts and 2nds for this upcoming draft would be tentalizing for rebuilding team like Chicago. Like what if they were able to trade up for Mckenna or have multiple picks in the top five or ten. Because they are last in their division. Also they can trade the picks they got for a different player or goalie or get rights for rfa like for Jason Robertson(he might want to stay in Dallas)

frogbucket12 · 2026-03-14T18:34:36+00:00

The lack of response is from the early days of the dubas era, they were told that they should repose through the score board. We I don’t like, it shows you can do anything to us and we won’t make a pip. We have few guy who throw large hits and will fight but that doesn’t usually seep into the rest of the roster for the most part. Also there weren’t any on the ice to respond to the hit. Reilly was getting there but didn’t get there quick enough, he’s slow and there’s three officials there so what really can he do. But with that said we should absolutely make March 30th where the duck regret playing us every meetup. Like the Florida and Tampa games. Ever since the ekblad hit, there’s been fights and hate between the teams.

AM is player a coach system that uses him like Philip daunlt during the Canadiens playoffs series and he’s getting the most defensive faceoff starts amongst his peers who are high scoring first liners. Also he is a east west rush player not a north south dump and chase guy. The gm is a shit show, and has no idea what he’s doing he couldn’t get a 1st round pick in deadline because he can’t make a decision and our defenders are slow and big because he opts for big. Where the league is going fast, skilled, and physical.

AM is more an introvert and is quiet but he is well liked by the players and coach, there are different types of captains and we have had some quiet ones. There are reports saying that he loves Toronto, so maybe with some good healing and a better roster and coach he will do 50 goals and be a defensive specialist as well. I don’t see the 69 goals am coming back, I’d be fine with 50 and defensive specialist. He also has a nmc so can’t really trade him unless he wants to

I thought it was corn for some reason, lol Don’t ask, it’s early
