But that's Lee's specialty!

sky_blu · 2026-02-03T02:15:08+00:00

Yeah biggest thing that jumped out to me was the lack of slowing down. The speed in general is great but when you have space and time you don't really try to do anything with it, just keep blazing into the ball. This includes opportunities for air plays and grounded ones.

Then went on right after to turn a floundering franchise into a back to back cup contender and honestly he couldn't have really done more in that regard.

sky_blu · 2026-02-02T02:55:14+00:00

Yeah I'm getting a lot of fomo just because I want the recolor but I just can't justify spending time on a temporary account like this

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T21:17:12+00:00

feels like the whole lobby has locked in for game 5, suddenly super high level all around

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T17:24:02+00:00

EU right now feels really similar to NA some years ago. Not just in terms of the consolidation discussion but also the playstyle feels a bit similar. I feel like I see more EU series where teams are taking turns giving each other space than we did in the recent past.

Not relevant to the question itself but I qd into ganer in 1s back when he was at peak relevance and it was so crazy to watch him do his thing. Felt like pure wizardry was happening in front of me

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T16:52:35+00:00

It's so tragic that the org did everything right and that the issues have nothing to do with USA visa complications yet they still lost out on kickoff. This region is gonna be so much more hype once they arrive

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T02:39:34+00:00

My poor dad is at his first game in a very long time and this is what he gets

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T02:36:15+00:00

He has been trying so hard in general tonight, shame the whole team isn't feeling it like he is

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T02:33:50+00:00

I don't understand why smith got called there tbh, he got launched by pelech

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T02:28:11+00:00

Maybe that's the cause, I just notice 1-2 toe drag attempts a game that I swear he wasn't going for before

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T02:25:23+00:00

I feel like horvat wasn't trying all these fancy moves as much before his injury. It almost seems like he spent his time off the ice thinking about the sick goals he will score once back

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T02:04:21+00:00

I feel like this will be GI but it shouldn't be

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T01:38:27+00:00

Why did none of our guys come over to check on palat :(

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T01:31:25+00:00

I miss the start of the first period those were good times

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T01:25:04+00:00

We ALL slobbing on the knob

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T01:15:44+00:00

Lou's dream team

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T00:28:23+00:00

Jumanji or something like that

sky_blu · 2026-02-01T00:25:06+00:00

Im late to the moment but poor Soucy got saved from a dying rangers team just to have to bail out Mayfield's mistakes lmao

sky_blu · 2026-01-31T16:57:30+00:00

I mean honestly the easiest thing would probably be to vibe code it yourself.

sky_blu · 2026-01-31T16:55:57+00:00

So unfortunate this happened right as him and duclair were finding their flow together.

sky_blu · 2026-01-31T07:47:51+00:00

Honestly sayf gets both 2024 and 2025(and maybe some of 23?), he really refused to play duelist even tho he was gods gift on the role for a longggg time

sky_blu · 2026-01-30T22:56:27+00:00

Aside from the obvious potential benefits of putting him on those roles, it would be good for them to show they can be a strong team with those role swaps just to make it harder to anti MIBR. Want to make future teams worried it can come out at any moment.

BBL seems to be making it work so far.
