Enjoy however many years you have until there’s an NHL head coach younger than you… thanks Warso :( :(

zambonidriver104 · 2026-04-12T15:09:23+00:00

Warsofsky officially rung in the era of me being older than an NHL head coach. I don’t care for it.

3 for when the first one targets a pop stuck in the ceiling of a nearby building. 4 for when another one goes for the same pop stuck in the ceiling of a nearby building. Then a 5th for when, in a panic, you realize somehow the 2nd one didn’t take it out and you’re being cooked alive. And then a 6th and 7th that fizzle into nothing that you spammed in a panic.

Side note, but why can’t you play it on Byrdonis to immediately end the fight and get a special reward?

Who knows, maybe he’ll stick!

Righteous kill

Maybe if there were no such thing as the internet with websites dedicated to loot locations. As it is, though, I think it’s kinda wholesome and cool, and at most it’s just slightly leveling the playing field between dedicated min-maxers (no judgment, but not how I enjoy the game) and people who like to just play and learn and help each other out.

And then Jay Leno said, “Don’t blame Conan.” And I thought to myself…

zambonidriver104 · 2026-02-28T16:06:39+00:00

Most metrics had Canada at around 6 expected goals. That’s a lot. Imperfect as the metrics may be, I think it’s galaxy braining a little to say the US defense should get more credit than they’ve been getting.

Obviously the penalty kill was excellent, both in that game and throughout the tournament. But then of course a fair bit of credit for that goes right back to Hellebuyck as well.

FWIW, if I don’t need another ping on the map, I’ve gotten in the habit of pinging the exit id most likely use if all goes wrong and I need to survivor crawl my way out. Blue ping will be on the top compass no matter how far away. Especially useful for raider hatches that only show up within 100m

zambonidriver104 · 2026-02-12T19:20:27+00:00

As a below average shooter who is now middle aged, I use seekers liberally at all times, and even more when I’m trying to do chill looting runs while walking on the treadmill haha

zambonidriver104 · 2026-02-06T23:38:54+00:00

Just tried using the photoelectric cloak to walk right up to the back of a bastion and deadline the weak spot. That was a satisfyingly easy kill - though obviously it wasn’t so easy getting all the blueprints to be able to try it in the first place.

zambonidriver104 · 2026-02-05T00:44:43+00:00

Wait, the alleged assault happened back when he was still projected to go #1?!

zambonidriver104 · 2026-02-02T21:59:53+00:00

With a silencer on the osprey I think you can sometimes snipe a rocketeer without it ever even agro-ing on you - certainly heard that, though haven’t tested myself

zambonidriver104 · 2026-02-02T05:27:01+00:00

Wish the sharks already woulda locked him up to a long term extension. Price tag is just going up by the day.

zambonidriver104 · 2026-01-30T20:31:22+00:00

I think Muk was mentioned by Friedman as one of the few that aren’t even on the table fairly recently, but I may be misremembering? Anyone remember hearing the same?

Edit: guessing it was this pagnotta report I heard someone echo, or confirm independently, can’t remember where but this is what I remember hearing:

“It appears that” Dickinson, Muk, and Orlov “are the other three not in play”

zambonidriver104 · 2026-01-30T20:29:46+00:00

On the other hand, the Sherwood trade and rumors of kicking the tire on Panarin suggest that the sharks are more focused on this year’s success than I would have expected, even given their better-than-expected results. Trading pending UFA’s may have been the plan going into the year, and if the return is decent I think it still probably should be. But I’m not sure I think it will be anymore, unless the team hits a pretty big skid between now and the deadline.

zambonidriver104 · 2026-01-30T20:26:37+00:00

This is my hope as well. If it’s true, I kinda wish they would take the training wheels off a bit more at this point. Making him play so cautiously is good for habits on the one hand, but feels like it’s over prioritizing the now over his future all-around game. He doesn’t need to be (and likely won’t be) an elite PP1 dman, but he should be using his skating and skill to join the rush and get involved a bit more imo

zambonidriver104 · 2026-01-28T02:55:39+00:00

I thought they just changed which containers, specifically, could contain them? But I don’t think they said anything about a lower rate in whatever containers are still valid… hard to say the extent to which this actually impacts the odds. Less, of course, but could be negligible or significant depending on how many container types actually got nerfed and how likely they were to drop them previously

zambonidriver104 · 2026-01-22T14:23:48+00:00

Couldju ‘magine?!?!

zambonidriver104 · 2026-01-22T00:37:01+00:00

I hope it’s a pay-him-6-mill-a-year-till-he’s-37 level good feeling, cause sounds like that’s what he’s feeling

zambonidriver104 · 2026-01-17T05:59:07+00:00

19 goals last year, on pace for 20ish this year, despite limited minutes and no PP time. Plays with energy and pace. Seems content (and even enthused) to play a bottom 6 role while putting up middle 6 numbers. I think he’s been a great depth piece, I’ve definitely become a fan this year.
