I bet Florida wanted him but probably couldn't afford his salary, or weren't willing to pay it.

Even still, there is such a thing as a coach fitting your team structure. Didn't the Bruins freefall late to fall out of the playoffs like 2 years in a row? I'd imagine that would give teams pause.
Besides, of all these teams, is there a better current one than the Habs
since 93

They've committed a lot into team salary so I don't think it's a money thing. They wanted to talk but wanted to wait after the season. I personally think Rowe had a hand in that but it sounds like he is on his way out once the season ends.

So you already knew that other teams were trying to lock him down but you somehow can't believe that he didn't instantaneously agree? The man knew he was going to have options. How many teams in this league need a coach or at least a better one.
He's widely considered a top 5 coach across the league, he would be an upgrade for most teams.

He probably got offers from a few teams around the same time and chose the Habs, because of all teams looking for a coach they're probably the most attractive for multiple reasons.
Thankfully, the differences we've already seen in how the team plays is awesome.

That's my entire point. He had no reason to hastily sign a contract with the first teams that approached him.
The other explanations are equally valid since we simply don't know, but this one is the most complimentary to the Habs so it is acceptable.

The problem Pikma was it was too complimentary
😂😂😂😂😂
Massive on this one, the erection is. Hmmmmmm.
It is pretty massive, they're quality shots against have gone down dramatically, their PK has pretty fantastic, lineup removals like Desharnais & Emelin. Not much more I could ask for ��

Being this bad during one of the supposed worst drafts in years is hilarious and sad
I can't get over the fact they weren't trying to tank at all,they were just naturally this historically bad.

Yes. I agree
I saw Logan in theatres today. That last scene 😢. I think this is the perfect Marvel movie and it's not even a mainline stupid MCU movie. Suck on those nuts Ironman and Gang.
My brother named his Horse. He named his second one Horse 2.
Mine is named Blue (because he's blue). The other one is named Dancer.
Basically. That and its easier to take in all the small details on foot.Probably because you always want to get off your horse to hunt, climb, etc. I'm the same way. Plus sometimes the quickest/most fun path is to go straight up and then launch yourself off a ledge and glide to the destination.
But often I'll take a horse and just keep hopping off, do shit, whistle, hop back on.
I named my horse

Depends what you prefer, I like the micro detail in Bethesda games, where there's more interactivity per squared unit. Compare that to Witcher 3 where there more open fields/forrests with nothing to do. Witcher does scaling of cities better, Bethesda games get the small details right. I think the game with the greater density is better for exploration.
The engine is very mod friendly which is probably why they keep using the same shit. Of course, they could make a new engine that's also modder friendly. Easier said than done, but they should have a good idea of what makes gambryo easy to use/highly malleable.
Again, depends what you prefer. Compare ESO to a normal Elder Scrolls game and I'll take the density in the core series over the larger, but emptier MMO map. I can't speak for Zelda, but from the Giant Bomb quick look, Jeff said there's a lot of nothing in between points of interest.
Easy to use, even for interns, who also happen to do their writing, animation, and programming, and QA.

I don't so much mind the writing in Morrorwind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Skyrim. While they weren't great, they provided interesting window dressing for the open world. Fallout 4 was terrible though and detrimental to the game overall. Animations can be pretty bad, but since I'm in first person it's usually not so intrusive. Mass Effect Andromeda will be another story...

Not really fair, I've heard one of the reasons they still use Gamebryo is so they wouldn't have to expand or change their team. I think they've had the same ~100 person team for a long time now.
Nintendo and Bethesda have this in common: you'd love for them to do x or y but at the end of day they're gonna do their thing.
I'm inclined to believe the voiced protagonist is mostly responsible for the terrible writing, and the settlement building is responsible for the terrible quest structure. It feels like there were probably a couple versions of this game.

There's usually at least one innovation/change in Bethesda games I'd like to see carried over to their next game. I can hardly think of any addition in Fallout 4 I liked that would be good in the next Elder Scrolls, say for Survival. Luckily they're doing something between the next Elder Scrolls.
Radiant quests would be fine if they weren't forced into your quest log like FO4 did.

Mod integration on consoles? Uhhhhhh...the weapon crafting system is pretty solid?
Weapon crafting is the only positive thing about Fallout 4. Game is a stinker in every other regard.

I didn't even consider mods on consoles as I play on PC. Weapon crafting was pretty good, it also gave use to all of the junk you find in the world. Elder scrolls already had a similar system with enchanting though.

The world is still great, it's probably my favorite wasteland so far. Bethesda writing has always been crap, so I guess I didn't expect too much in that regard?
I thought the settlement building did a good job of justifying all the junk too.
Eh, I guess the world is ok, I just don't really care for Boston and felt like a lot of the areas were really uninspired.
Writing being crap is whatever, I would have been fine with crap writing and a crap story if the dialog options weren't so dumbed down from previous fallout games

I really hope they don't bring back voiced protags, or if they do that they get a hell of a lot better at implementing in.
