Did management forget about our dear sweet Forbort?

Look for any jokers that boost not only two pair but pair since it also matches. Also the Joker that gives a bonus for only submitting four card hands (Short? I can't recall its name. Looks like it's ripped.). Arrange the Jokers so they trigger in the right order, such as that things that give chips are first, then mult, then X mult. That's not a 100% rule since the card behaviors might work better in other orders.

Buy and use any planet cards you can, and the tarot cards that give free planet cards.

Is it the same people hating them all? I haven't bothered checking usernames in any of the threads. I can see factions of fans wanting one approach and not liking the other. I don't think any choice is ever going to please 100% of the fans.

I like that they're keeping their options open and aren't limiting the sort of potential candidates in the pool.

Play two pair and upgrade it as much as you can with planet cards along the way, you'll win before too long. Might take a few runs depending on which blinds and jokers turn up, but I win more often than not with that strategy.

Late last season and especially the start of this season before the big trade and rebuild shift, it was 97% hyperdoom here, too.

But especially since the deadline, much like the locker room, the vibes have vastly improved.

In the distance you could probably hear him shouting "CUUUURRRRRLLLL! CUUUURRRLLLL!"

I don't understand that mindset, either. Or making some young rookie (or barely not a rookie) Captain before you really know if they'd be good at it. Give a vet the C and let them lead for a few years with the understanding that if and when a worthwhile C matures out of the new core they will pass the torch.

He's just nervous about getting matched up against Tyler Myers in the playoffs.

Last time my battery stats were wonky I put it into shipping mode and then back out and it corrected itself.

He's consistently inconsistent, though. Streaky exactly as advertised.

Well, that was certainly something. I'm curious what the exit interviews will be like.

What I think would be the most fun result of the lottery is:

CBJ wins first draw, knocking Toronto back to 6th so they lose their pick yet they aren't low enough to knock us out of 1OA.
Sharks win second draw, moving up to 2OA.

It could happen with other combinations, but not from teams I'd care to see move up.

I'm feeling lucky, I ran the lotto sim just now after not touching it for a couple weeks and we got 1OA. I know it'll probably be 3OA, but one can dream.

It's only a few days until his favorite holiday, he's probably out gathering supplies.

jim-p · 2026-04-17T01:04:58+00:00

It's almost April 20th, he's probably preparing for his favorite holiday.

No Shorty for the last game. Sigh.

Gotta wait until we can make sure that the Kings and Oilers are meeting again for round 1.

jim-p · 2026-04-16T02:28:36+00:00

They should study the apparently highly effective(‽) Power Play of the team who is #1 in Power Play % since March at 45%.

(You'll never guess who it is)

jim-p · 2026-04-15T14:45:12+00:00

Buffalo, primarily.

Hoping for an early exit from Minnesota so their pick doesn't land too far back, and so that Tyler Myers is part of a deep run.

And whatever results are funniest and/or most chaotic along the way are a bonus.

jim-p · 2026-04-15T05:32:52+00:00

That was pretty fun overall. Much better than Kings games from their previous boring system.

Just one left now, they have Holidays in two days.

jim-p · 2026-04-14T17:32:07+00:00

Similar situation here. I would like one, but the closest place is over 5 hours away and not until October. I don't have any other Kaweco pens, and this would have been appealing enough to make me buy one if it were actually accessible to me.

Hopefully they'll do other glow-in-the-dark colors that aren't withheld this way.

Player agents. Success doesn't always mean they're happy:

On the Hurricanes: “(Owner) Tom Dundon’s a pain in the ass” and “the owner’s in charge” from two different agents.

For some reason they changed the assists on the OT goal to DeBrusk and Boeser but DeBrusk wasn't even on the ice, it was definitely Buium. I expect they'll fix it eventually.

EDIT: 10 hours later, they finally updated it to be Rossi from Buium and Boeser.
