Whenever I'm bored I'll just search for OT threads and comment with this gif

I need to make my presence felt outside this thread too, right?

 

[Smiley90]

oh fuck some dude in the F1 race crashed, then while a tractor was retrieving his car ANOTHER RACER hit the tractor because the track was wet.

Unconscious and otw to hospital.

oO.

 

[Curufinwe]

They just need to increase the points received for wins in regulation or OT, make teams play to win instead of playing to not lose and wait for the shootout.

That would help us. Philly has the worst record at the shootout.

Pretty sure Montreal is near the bottom historically as well. Besides that, it's just frustrating to watch OT periods where teams are obviously sitting back for a shootout.

You can't put 2 exotic armors at one time? Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhbhh this stupid game wow.

Fucking hell its going on Kijiji. Hoping to score diablo 3, mordor or horizon 2 for it.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Phil Kessel looks like a taller, older, and fatter version of one of my friends. It amazes me.

Your smaller, younger, slimmer friend survive testicular cancer and take meds for it that increases his weight to make up for the testosterone lost for having one ball too?

 

[RC]

Posting this gif here so I don't forget about it if it comes in handy some other time

That's awesome.

I love Linden more than Tabris loves the Sedins. But not in a creepy life sized pillow kind of way.

Always chasing the missing ball at the centre of his donut.

I got an infraction for saying bukkake on HFboards.

Ha ha I post on hfboards and I remember reading that post yesterday.

The game should be so much more but I strangely can't stop playing it.

Hope it keeps me going until Witcher3.

Yeah, they need a 3-2-1 system.

Gonna have to disagree.

Either you earn 2 points or you don't. They should take out the loser point.

Really good summary of Thomas Vanek's career and how he came to the Wild

In 1982, at the height of communism in Czechoslovakia, Jarmila and Zdenek Vanek wanted a better life for their 4-year-old son, David. They went from border to border to try to immigrate into Austria. Finally, at their seventh or eighth border, the Vaneks were allowed in. They went, with nothing, to Vienna to start a new life. Two years later Thomas was born.

He grew up in Graz, hometown of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Zdenek was a professional hockey player, so from the time Thomas can remember, he was in love with hockey. Because of his father’s Czech background, Thomas had posters of Jaromir Jagr and Dominik Hasek.

“When I was 8 or 9, once a week, we got the show ‘NHL Cool Shots’ on TV,” Thomas said. “For every kid that played hockey back home, that was a must-see show. Once I saw it, that’s when my dream started. I wanted to play in the NHL.”

Tried to watch The Reporters this morning...

 

[Curufinwe]

Simmonds has his foot in a boot.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

WILSOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

 

[Solo]

Finally, can watch hockey again in 3 days

 

[Merguson]

Connor McDavid, a real Canadian.

 

[Calamari41]

WILSOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

Doing God's work.

 

[zroid]

Connor McDavid, a real Canadian.

I bet that Eichel kid's wearing slacks and a tank top right now. No respek.

 

[Yawnier]

Connor McDavid, a real Canadian.

Nothing like them good old Ontario kids.

 

[Josh with a J]

God damn it. You seriously can't sim to your shift in NHL15 ughhhh

 

[MetatronM]

Rangers put Lombardi, Kostka, Kampfer, and Desjardins on waivers.

So that means Hunwick won the 7D job.

 

[Fata1moose]

Doing God's work.

Real hockey is back finally! Though we're missing Mitchell and perhaps McGinn right now.

Jets announce they have traded Eric Tangradi to MON for Peter Budaj and Patrick Holland

Boods, nooo...

 

[Samyy]

Look out Pavelec!

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Budaj was a good guy, but we definitely don't need him anymore.

 

[Var]

Simmonds has his foot in a boot.

:-(

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Isn't this the first player for player trade in Jets history?

 

[zroid]

Poor Reimer

 

[Coldnoodle]

Isn't this the first player for player trade in Jets history?

Yep.

Crazy.

 

[Socreges]

Who's the backup behind Price

Rangers put Lombardi, Kostka, Kampfer, and Desjardins on waivers.

So that means Hunwick won the 7D job.

I know all those names, but I feel like I don't. Sean Lombardi and Jimmy Desjardins?

 

[Razorskin]

Who's the backup behind Price

Tokarski


Tangradi is pretty bad so all he does is all size to the 4th line.

 

[Cake Boss]

Heheh we need more size and goons to face the pre season eastern all stars Sens.

 

[lamaroo]

Budaj

One of them had to go, and I'm happy Tokarski is still here. Could be worth more later on.

 

[A Serious Man]

Tangradi was on waivers the other day if the Habs really wanted him, this looks like they're just dumping a couple contracts. Tangradi is not good at hockey things.

 

[MetatronM]

Who's the backup behind Price

I know all those names, but I feel like I don't. Sean Lombardi and Jimmy Desjardins?

Matthew Lombardi (center) and Cedrick Desjardins (goalie).

Also of note is that Chris Mueller would need to go on waivers if he was being sent down to Hartford. Since he wasn't included with the rest of the group that isn't making the team but does need waivers, that seems to indicate that he will stay with the big boy club. So reading between the lines on these moves, it looks like the opening night lineup will be something along the lines of:

Kreider-Brassard-Zuccarello
Duclair-St.Louis-Nash
Hagelin-Miller-Fast
Malone-D.Moore-Stempniak
Glass
Mueller

McDonagh-Girardi
Staal-Boyle
J.Moore-Klein
Hunwick

Lundqvist
Talbot

In this situation, Stepan would need to go on LTIR, which would render him ineligible to play until November 3.

Also, if one of the other teams could pick up any of those guys on waivers (other than Desjardins, who seems promising for when we inevitably trade away Talbot for depth), that would be super helpful. We need to jettison a contract by Tuesday in order to keep Duclair on the roster.

RIP my pool.

 

[lamaroo]

Tangradi was on waivers the other day if the Habs really wanted him, this looks like they're just dumping a couple contracts. Tangradi is not good at hockey things.

Tokarski would have to go through waivers to be sent down, so it was either carry 3 goalies, or trade one and they made up their minds.

Not sure why they threw in Holland, but he was bad in camp, maybe he didn't want to go back to Hamilton?

 

[Socreges]

RIP my pool.

Yep. Injured a day after I picked him. Meanwhile Malkin was back skating again a day after I passed on him.

"@TSNSteveLloyd: @HockeyScanner Could be interesting the next couple of days. I think there's a chance a one way contract player or two could be waived."

Please be Condra and Greening. Please please please please.

I can see it being Condra, Greening I doubt a lot.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

LOOOOL. Thank god I didn't take Pavelec! This isn't a great trade though. It doesn't really address the goaltending in Winnipeg, and I'm not sure why the Habs wanted Tangradi...

 

[Razorskin]

Because they had 3 goalies and couldn't send one down, so they traded one.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Point was more why the Jets would take that trade when it's a slight upgrade at best.

 

[Cake Boss]

Is Budaj really that much better than Maelstrom, at least Markstrom there is that very small chance that he still has some updside.

 

[Razorskin]

Point was more why the Jets would take that trade when it's a slight upgrade at best.

Because they gave up nothing for an upgrade.

 

[Razorskin]

Shadow of Mordor really does benefit from the nemesis system greatly. Without that it's Assassin's Creed tier

Spoiler

[Kuro Madoushi]

If they were serious, they go for an actual upgrade.

Mordor is great. Just kinda wish there was more of everything.

Haven't gotten Mordor yet, but it looks great. I buy every AC game as well, even with the turds of the first and III, II, Brotherhood and Blackflag are all really awesome..

Possibly a stupid question, but:

If a receiver doesn't have HDMI input does that mean I can't, for example, have audio taken from my TV/PS3 to the speaker system?

Looking at a used Samsung Ht-twz412 for $150 and the most common review complaint is that it doesn't actually have HDMI input...
