    I got my girlfriend tickets to a show at Caesar’s Windsor for her birthday back in March and it’s tonight. Show starts at the same time as the game. Absolute worst timing in the world. I’ll be watching what I can on my tablet on the way home.

    I always thought line changes were a more fluid 3 off, 3 on, in whatever order, just keep the total on ice to 5. Is it actually more of a soccer thing where you're directly subbing for a person and can't get on until they're off?

    Thre isn't a direct sub like that, as long as there are 5 guys on the ice it can be 5 defensemen, doesn't matter. So yeah in a situation where there's 4 or 5 guys going off and on at the same time there is no way to declare "I am going on for this person"

    And fun fact, if you actually pay attention the way most teams do it is when the forwards change the center is always the first guy to go on the ice, even if it's say, the left winger that goes off. Teams do that that way there's always at least one center on the ice in case there's an icing and the rest of the line cant' change. Its a bit hard to pick up because most of the time at least two of the 3 forwards are changing at the same time, but if it's one guy going off the center is almost always the guy going on.

    I've only played on a frozen lake (badly) but from what I know it's one to one, usually when your man is within 5ish feet of the board. Someone else with more playing experience might be able to go into more detail though.

    You have linemates, and you coach generally plays you with your linemates. But not always.

    For example, calgary doesn't seem to miss a beat with their line changed, but pittsburgh jumbled up with 3rd and 4th lines a bit more.



    Defense men are almost always more jumbled. Your top defenseman probably plays 5-10minutes more per game than his partner. But a lot of that is accounted for in powerplay/shorthanded time, but even without that, you often get one defense men that is "stuck" and cannot change without giving the other team a really good opportunity, so they just... Keep playing until it's safe

    Edit: I'm slow cause I wanted to find the pretty pictures, and searching for twitters after deleting the app is difficult!

    With no events happening at all, I finally went back and cleared the finale of Chapter 8. Some of the events and level designs were pretty cool, but I sincerely hope that between the English VAs and the anime, some level of the BS obfuscation in this writing gets slapped into submission. Very simple ideas like "group A fights group B until group C suddenly arrives and attacks both A and B" are written in such an indirect, obnoxious way it's a certainty that people casually reading through don't understand what's happening. I'm certain I don't understand many of the things that have already happened! And I really hate that, it makes reading the far too wordy stories feel like a huge waste of time.

    I finished season 3 last night. I think I enjoyed the season, overall. The ending felt a bit lacklustre. It was clearly written as a logical stopping point if the show doesn't get renewed for season 4. I don't see a renewal in it's future. The Netflix 3-season "curse" will strike here too.

    If it does stop here, I'll be disappointed but not surprised. Allison is a fucking outright murderer (of a mentally-disabled man who saved their lives, no less) by the end of this and not only gets away with it, but gets back everything she was willing to sell out the team to get. Not to mention she outright tries to rape Luthor, and only changes her mind because his mind starts melting from fighting back. She's right back to publicly being the shitty child-brainwashing person she was at the start of S1, while also all the time privately being that shitty person and sometimes playing at being a decent human being. But mostly carries a "fuck you" attitude because of course nobody has suffered like she has.

    And then Luthor, possibly the only actually upstanding person in the group (except possibly Victor, who does lie about some things but is actually right about those deceptions), ends up getting fucked in the end. Gets married, gets murdered within hours of it (thanks to the plan that Allison made happen), has to fight to convince Klaus to do something about it, actually comes back from the dead... and now his wife is gone, possibly not even existing in this new universe/timeline. But Allison has what she wants so fuck everybody else, right? The part where she asks Victor "do you trust me?" before pressing the button? Yeah, I would've vaporized her ass on the spot because absolutely fucking not, there's nothing there to trust. Blast her to atoms and let Five take a look at the control panel before pressing the button. Who cares if she just killed the guy trying to kill them, I don't buy she did that for anybody but herself. Sure, it upset her to see her family actually suffer from her betrayal, but she wanted not-Dad dead mostly because she didn't trust him; otherwise, she would've just watched her family die and maybe felt bad about it later.

    Spent a fair portion of the back half of the show wishing they would just stuff both Allison and Diego in a "shut the fuck up box". Diego is just a reactive hostile piece of shit that helps with nothing except trying to aggravate every situation. Completely fixated on driving the Sparrows out of their own house, and completely willing to murder them all to do it despite it being 100% not the Umbrella home anymore. But at least he doesn't spend the bulk of the season lying to the team every chance he gets or betrays them; Diego is an asshole, but he's too stupid to think past the end of a knife and doesn't turn his back on family. Throw alternate-Ben in that box as well; his shitty attitude trying to provoke every situation gets his entire team killed pointlessly

    The dance open was great, obviously. Plenty of dysfunctional family antics along the way. Klaus, as usual, basically steals the whole show. Particularly love how while everybody else is fighting about what to do to get into the Sparrow house, he's just repeatedly sneaking in to talk to not-Dad. He gets plenty of screentime but he should've had more since he makes every scene better and there were some that could've used More Klaus.

    Definitely tired of the entire team, singly and as a group, just getting their asses kicked and winning only by last-second deus ex machina. Luthor in particular seems to be there as a wildly inconsistent punching bag. First season, a two-ton chandelier drops on him and he's fine. Second season, we see him hit with a rocket launcher and it doesn't even leave a mark. Here? Ben literally kicks him in the face and it knocks him out. The one time he seems to have any actual superpower is after he dies.

    But still, I enjoy the show. Something about that nihilistic insistence on stupid family grudges in the face of total annihilation entertains me, and getting to see the Sparrows have all the same shit even without their father controlling them was fun.

    I'm about one or two stages away from finishing up Chapter 8 (I just cleared JT8-2), but I haven't really found any of the story to be confusing or obfuscating? What part of it are you confused about?

    Well, I mean, I guess there was one part that was very vague and confusing (albeit I think on purpose):
    Amiya's whole thing with making the sword, the whole Lord of Fiends shit, her... memories??? Stuff? With the Sarkaz and her parents or whatever??? I dunno THAT shit was mega confusing but I think it was meant to be confusing. I DIDN'T GET THAT AT ALL.

    I forgotten how dominant and brutal the Red Wings were. I meant, when you're a Hawks fan and used to being their doormat back In the 90's.

    The '97 and '98 teams were absolute fucking goons.

    Also somehow McCarty was the sixth leading scorer in '97. Also shoutout to Mike Vernon for going from an .899 in the regular season to .927 in the playoffs.

    To be fair to McCarty, he did pull this off in a Cup Final:

    It's
    deliberately vague at this point, with a lot of implications about Amiya somehow being the successor to Theresa (the white haired Sarkaz that W is a huge simp for in Darklight Memoir) after Theresa died/was killed/something happened to in the big mysterious incident that may or may not have been caused by the doctor (and is the reason that Kal'tsit and W hate the doctor's guts). Basically, Theresa was the rightful King of the Sarkaz, there was a huge civil war with her brother and Theresa teamed up with (or founded?) Rhodes Island (called Babel back then) alongside Kal and the doctor, and then something happened and now Amiya is her successor.

    Being the "king of the Sarkaz" seems to involve some kind of magic genetic memory, or something? Like I said it's still pretty vague at this point.
