Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Boosting payments.
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?

I was writing that after the first period, might have been a bit premature. But there the Jackets had like... one shot on goal? Two? And they started Nabokov instead of Bishop, so there's that.Originally Posted by Rennadrel

Oh hey look, the Leafs have finally figured out how to win back to back games this season, having won both of the two most recent back to back series they have played.

I wonder how long until his parents send him to NA to play in the CHL.

Saw it on TH2N, what a great goal by Seth Griffith in the Bruins game. That was a thing of luck and beauty.

On another note:
That's one nice goal that Griffith scored last night."Our greatest glory is not in never falling,
but in rising every time we fall."

Really excited about tonight. My first time seeing Stamkos in person!

BTW I did not realize Bishop was 6"7... that's a very tall Goalie.

That stuff is always fun, I got to see Malkin at the end of his rookie goal-scoring streak, I was sitting behind the net when he got goal #2 in OT. Unbalanced schedule makes it hard to catch the eastern conference teams visiting. Was the first time seeing rookie Kopitar in that game too. Originally Posted by Stommped

2014-11-11, 07:32 PM #24111DeletedIt's kinda fun to see pictures of a play in Tampas zone fom ice level and realize how much net the guy takes away. He's enormous for a goalie. Originally Posted by Stommped

Rinne is 6"6 I think it is and its ridiculous just how much net they cover just from that. Originally Posted by Stommped

Forsberg is just going nuts right now, the kid is really fun to watch.

2014-11-12, 04:57 PM #24113DeletedHe's 6'5". That being said - being huge alone isn't gonna help you, see Anders Lindback for that particular lesson. He's 6'6" but has been struggling badly ever since he hired at Tampa. Their enormous frames certainly help Bishop and Rinne, but these guys also have all the tools a goalie needs in addition to that. Linny... apparently not so much. Originally Posted by Armourboy

For what it's worth he's also the plus/minus leader for all skaters right now. That's probably not gonna stay that way but still. Nashville's top line (and Forsberg in particular) have been nothing short of amazing in the first 15 games.

Height only goes so far as a goalie. If you don't have the athleticism to do the job, you won't be able to stop the puck.

Maybe at 11 they'd get away with it still, second year of Atom. But starting with Peewee, not likely. This is more confidence than actual skill. Confidence in that the kids he's playing against are most likely not very good.

They're also all about 11 or so. I played with some really awesome kids back when I was that age, but none of them had the speed or consistent puck-handling ability that he does. It doesn't matter what the rest of the kids on the ice are doing, just what he is, and while it's highly likely he'll fade out and never accomplish anything at the professional level, that amount of skill at that age is pretty amazing.

Edited to add this bit, but it's not so much skill as it is confidence. He can play confidently and try fancy shit because he knows the kids he's playing against are mostly terrible. Put him against kids who can stick check or at an age where they can take the body and are even moderately proficient at it and yeah...those moves will disappear. I can pull of behind the back plays, between the legs, datsyukian toe drags and other such nonsense if all I'm playing against is a bunch of pylons. But I don't for a second think of myself as super skilled Originally Posted by Sykol

the goalie for the yellow team just wants to be anywhere but on the ice

Lot of soft goals in the Kings/Ducks game tonight, Quick made a lot of great saves but let in some iffy ones.
I don't know who Jamie McBain is, but he didn't look too good. Need Voynov back.

I have no sympathy for Boston getting their asses completely handed to them by Toronto last night, they didn't even look like they were in the building and got dominated.

Uh... the Sabres apparently recalled Kaleta.
What the fuck? Who the hell needs that guy anywhere close to an NHL roster? I mean I get using Cooke to some degree, that guy is at least a decent contributor who can actually play some good hockey if he's not concussing people and he's cheap, but Kaleta? That guy is talentless jackass and has no place in the league.
/edit: Apparently Sabres fans are cool with it. Guuuuuuys, I know there isn't much to celebrate lately, but still.Last edited by mmoceaf424ea73; 2014-11-13 at 10:55 PM.
