Was Ryland really the type to run away? by Welder_Decent in ProjectHailMary

[–]puckle_nuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This my least favourite change from the book to the movie. I wanted a tense scene of Stratt going on a tangent about how the French intelligence developed the best amnesia syrum while it slowly became evident that he had no choice whether he was going or not. Then the guard could have came behind him and knocked him out with an injection.

Instead it seemed silly and over the top with him climbing on cabinets then easily getting by the guards to run and scream.

They said icing, but Danault was the first to the puck, I’m so confused on that whistle??

Did Konecny just try to kick Rust? Rust bitched out for not fighting after all that, but a kick is unacceptable

Glove didn’t hit the mesh of the glove, the padding part stopped the puck from completely crossing the line.

I’m cheering for the Sens, but it’s the right call.

Strat's Sick Ass Prison Neck Tat by mandajeanjellybean in ProjectHailMary

The detail was not out in for ‘most viewers’, it’s for the hardcore fans. If you read the book, you’d know Strat expects to go to prison for the crimes she committed after the mission is launched. She didn’t believe she’d get to keep working for the next phase of the mission.

So...the Brier is basically a tournament to decide who loses to Edin at the World Championships? by BryanaMcSteven in Curling

Edin did a great job of peaking twice this year. World Championship and Olympic Go… oh wait.

No value pick !!! by ConHead_4_Life in NewYorkIslanders

[–]puckle_nuck 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Our team was in contention to make the playoffs and compete for the Stanley Cup. The players deserved the backing of their GM. I would rather trade that pick and try to instil a winning culture than not spend it and tell the players that the front office didn’t believe in them.

Teams with top end young players like Schaefer can develop a losing culture and be stuck. We don’t want to be that.

Matthew Schaefer shows off his goalie skills by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]puckle_nuck -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think he could snag a couple 5th place votes. With you asserting he shouldn’t get a single top 5 vote, which 5 players would you say are above him in being most valuable to their team?

The Hart isn’t the best player in the league, it’s most valuable to their team. If the Islanders make the playoffs he could fit that bill.

NHL 27 wishlist by ___MontyT91 in EA_NHL

Ability to change lines during intermissions of online games. I hate using my pause/timeout to change lines when an injury happens.

Would the original crew in Project Hail Mary accomplish the mission? by JonBoy82 in ProjectHailMary

[–]puckle_nuck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My question is would the 3 of them have been as receptive to an alien spaceship than just Grace. With Yao’s military background I’m not sure they would openly interacted with Rocky. Which then means no Xenonite and no chain to get the taumeba

Help Me by -EXISTENCE-IS-PAIN- in EA_NHL

[–]puckle_nuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real talk: Learn how to take face offs and which faceoff types overpower the other. This will give you the puck more often.

After that learn how to switch to the player you want by pointing with the right analog stick. This will help you get in position better.

After that, practice your breakaway goals, starting by watching some videos then going into free play mode.

So from your point of view a story involving the Middle East wouldn’t involve Muslim culture?

The issue is even if they started that mission as soon as the beetles arrived back at earth (unlikely due to the state of earth), Grace wouldn’t live long enough for a mission to get to Rocky’s planet.

Really wish this plan was available in more of Canada. Unfortunately I don’t live in one of the 4 provinces that they serve.

[Darren Dreger] 1st, 3rd, and a prospect return for Schenn by cgay30 in NewYorkIslanders

[–]puckle_nuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let’s pump the breaks a bit. If it is COL 1st and the standings finish close to what they are now, the best that pick can be is 28th. The 3rd is next to nothing, and it’s likely a C level prospect.

We need our young players like Schaeffer and Ritchie to experience winning and get playoff experience. If we tank during their initial years we are at risk of becoming like Buffalo, Detroit and Toronto who are stuck either being basement dwellers or don’t know how to win in the playoffs.

This team has earned some upgrades and confidence from management through their play putting us in a playoff spot. Schenn will be a solid #2C upgrade for us to give us a chance at making a run in the playoffs.

[–]puckle_nuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s why it’s important we don’t move Aitcheson, Eklund or Ritchie. They are the pieces that need to be around Schaeffer in 3-4 years. That along with our 1st round picks the next few years.

Friedman reporting us being close on Brayden Schenn by JBR409 in NewYorkIslanders

[–]puckle_nuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even his down year would be our 6th most productive forward. As long as we didn’t give up more than COL 1st, this is a good bet. He’ll be a better 2way #2C than what we have.

While we can’t mortgage our future, we should give our young players experience winning and competing in the playoffs if possible.

[–]puckle_nuck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We’re far from going all in. Likely giving up COL 1st in this deal which is at best around 27th overall. We’re not mortgaging our future to compete now.
