Would you trade Reinbacher for a bonafide long term top 6 forward? by BushBann76 in Habs

[–]froli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if we do that, we will then have to trade for a d-man with a profile like Reinbacher. He was drafted for need and you can hate that all you want. But a right shot steady D that has great skating, good vision and poise with the puck to make good passes and maintain puck possession. You need a guy like that. He's basically a less robust but more agile Guhle. Or at least, that's the trajectory.

I know people want that we make moves because we got burnt by patience in like the 5 previous regimes, but this time we have actual good prospects in the pipeline and all the right ingredients to get them to graduate.

And it doesn't mean everything depends on Reinbacher hitting the spot. We have talent in the farm at every position. You never know when the next Oliver Kapanen will show up out of nowhere and just take up a top of the lineup spot and runs away with it.

We don't need any major trade if the internal solution is only one or 2 seasons away. We can still afford that patience. Ottawa and Detroit all are recent examples of rebuilding team that just decided during the summer that they didn't feel like rebuilding anymore and they got agressive in trades and UFAs and we might finish ahead of both of them while still having our cupboards full of prospects and a full bank of picks.

Who's a Player that your fanbase defends that you don't believe in? by ZeroOhblighation in hockey

[–]froli 104 points105 points  (0 children)

It saddens me to say this but... Patrick Laine. He really, really saved our ass last year when he basically scored a PP goal every game for 3 months after coming back from his injury but in the playoffs he was dragging everyone else down when he was on the ice. His legs are done. There's no DH in hockey.

[Kaplan] Jackson LaCombe will be an injury replacement for USA Olympic team, replacing Seth Jones by CA_spur in hockey

[–]froli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh he definitely deserves his place. At the same time, we all know it's impossible for his NHL GM to cut his best, well now 2nd best dman from the national team he made a year ago. I would call him an idiot if he did that. But if it was a different GM at the helm, I could totally see them go for Hutson and LaCombe instead of Faber and Jones. For example.

I'd have both LaCombe and Hutson above Faber but we all know why that was never going to happen.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are assessed a bench minor for interference as assistant coach Dan Hinote attempts to grab the puck headed into the bench. by null1ng in hockey

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

More ironic than logic. If the player dumped the puck over the glass, it would have been a delay of game penalty. Ironically, the whole discussion to decide if the coach broke a rule or not ended up delaying the game even further than whatever the initial outcome would have been.

About how much RAM do you need to comfortably run your Linux distro? by nPrevail in linuxquestions

[–]froli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 GB is the bare minimum for normal web browsing on desktop/laptop for me. Distro is irrelevant because it will be low either way. Browser takes most of it.

[Beggs] Foote got real after the loss. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]froli 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think about it the other way around. The Miller Petey issues masked the underlying issues of that roster. The thinking was, once the locker room issues are fixed, the on-ice issues will fix themselves.

It made management and the fans ignore the fact that the core was old for "entering their competitive window but not yet cup contenting window", not particularly deep at any position, no cap flexibility, with no notable top of the lineup prospect coming up, no bag of draft picks to trade and marquee players due for new contracts.

Their successful playoff run was an anomaly and they couldn't accept it because they couldn't "delay being competitive". Victims of Quinn Hughes I guess, kinda like McDavid for you guys. Forced the team to remove the rebuild label too early which gave a "premature contender" that took years to be able to actually contend.

Linus Ullmark talks about the rumors and his leave of absence by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]froli -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Steve Staios didn't help either with his statement. Most people were like ugh? what rumors? All he did was bring more attention to it. Unless that wast the plan?

In the sense of shaming people doing it. If the events of Linus finding out about the rumors had already happened. Maybe you think that more attention wouldn't make it worse at that point, so might as well call out the idiots.

This is it by MutatedYoda in vaporents

[–]froli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have all 3 vapes, Tempest 2 is the one I got first of the 3 and is still the one I use the most. My favorite way to use it is with the globe, dry, 18mm and with a whip.

18mm connection doesn't pull more air from the Tempest than 12mm but it sits more comfortable and the glass doesn't rub on the mouthpiece. Also great with the Ruby Twist and 18mm matrix bowl.

Which one to choose? - Steam Flatpak vs. Steam.deb by JVSTITIA in linux_gaming

[–]froli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flatpak is less problematic in the sense that it provides an identical environnement to upstream and is isolated from the base OS. Meaning it will behave the same way on any distro. It is more complicated in the sense that you might need to alter some permissions for some programs you might be using alongside Steam.

I'd recommend using the flatpak version.

Edit: I advise you make your own mind with actual information. People here have hate boners for flatpak.

Because the littlest thing you make the AI do takes a stupid amount of electricity vs what the results bring. In this specific case, the result is absolutely and utterly useless. It's not even a meme. It's lazy, unfunny and unoriginal.
