    Completely smoke the first fight in this new event. Get a frigging 8000 points out of the required 4000 for all the rewards. And... it was on the easiest difficulty, isn't it...

    ...Fuck it, it still counts.

    six of the playoff mathups are set. The East is set. The NHL has also announced the dates, though not the times and TV networks, for Games 1 and 2 of every series. Full schedule comes out Friday night. I'm not putting these in the calendar so I don't duplicate work. I'll probably get the full schedule into that Google Calendar Saturday evening.

    BOS/FLA - Monday/Wednesday
    TOR/TB - Tuesday/Thursday
    CAR/NYI - Monday/Wednesday
    NJ/NYR - Tuesday/Thursday

    VGK/WPG - Tuesday/Thursday
    EDM/LA - Monday/Wednesday

    The other two series have dates, but not opponents. Dallas and Colorado will have home ice.

    DAL vs MIN/SEA - Monday/Wednesday
    COL vs MIN/SEA - Tuesday/Thursday

    having fun looking at all the teams the Rangers could face if they get past round 1 and how they can't beat any of them except the West teams

    maybe the Bruins and the Canes will all get stomach bugs or something

    The Pens fired everyone except Sullivan. He probably stays until a new GM is named and then the GM will decide what to do with him.

    Yes, surviving the first round of the East is just delaying death at this point, good lord.

    All Dori complaints are valid complaints.

    But, she rides a slime when you attack, so she's pretty much the best current character.

    I appreciate the Shinobu rerun, I haven't been able to get her above C1 for a while and I'll be leaving this banner with at least C3, which is much nicer heals.

    My only hope is for a repeat of what happened to Tampa the year they were on fire. Though that loss spawned the a near triple sweep after so it may be a Faustian bargin...

    The Playoffs are set! My Google Calendar has been filled out, games, times, and networks. In cases where games simulcast on multiple channels, mostly in Cnaada, I only listed one network, or the network the game will start on. I also prefer the OTA network channel over a cable channel (this mostly effects games in Canada, as every CBC game airs on a sportsnet channel somewhere) In a couple cases, there are games that air on SNO, SNE, and SNP but not SNW, I just called those SN games. (if you're canadian you'll understand).

    The TV schedule doesn't quite work like it did last year, there are a couple nights where ESPN and TNT/TBS both air games, I'm assuming the networks worked it out with the NBA coverage. There is a single ABC game that will stream on ESPN+ on the first Saturday, otherwise TNT/TBS get the entirety of the first weekend. In Canada, that single ABC game will air on City TV as well as sportsnet one. And a single game in Canada airs on FX (which is a Rogers/Sportsnet property here.) that is due to overlap between a couple games, with that game being joined in progress on SN360. It's a bit of a mess.

    Regardless, the calendar is filled. The Stanley Cup Playoffs begin Monday on CBC, CityTV, SN, SN1, SN360, FX, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, and TBS.

    Also this is wild, becuase the Clippers, Lakers, and Kings all made the playoffs, the schedule for the crypto.com arena is a bit of a nightmare, especially since all 3 teams are the lower seed in their series. There are FOUR DAYS between Games 5 and 6 between Edmonton and LA. Game 5 is on Tuesday and Game 6 won't be until the Saturday.

    From 6th place in Jan to winning the division. Not too shabby. Though I’m more excited to see the Stars and Wild beat the hell out of each other than taking 1st

    Rantanen isn’t getting enough credit for carrying that team on his back by playing all 82 games, even though MacKinnon went absolute beast mode since coming back from injury.

    Tampa's window, however, is most definitely closing. If Vasilevskiy can't absolutely catch fire, Toronto may win a playoff series!
    Surely this is the end of days . . .

    And unrelated, after watching a documentary on Flin Flon last night, this morning I watched the one on the Humboldt Broncos' first season after the crash, so that was a nice morning of crying.

    Yeah, I'm very concerned we're going to finally be the team they beat to break out. My only consolation is whichever team wins is going to get pasted by the bruins anyway.

    It'd be pretty cool to bring in pittsburgh area native, and two time pittsburgh Stanley cup winning front office member, Sam Ventura as GM.

    Would be a promotion from his position as VP of Hockey Research at Buffalo, even though he's helping to build something good over there, for sure.

    I’ll give Starstruck Odyssey another shot for sure. I enjoyed the episodes I watched… I was listening mid-jog to the episode where Lou and Murphy went gambling and I had to pause my run because I was laughing out loud.

    Weirdly it was the combat episodes that dragged for me that season. I’m glad to have miniatures back!

    Anyone else having a ton of connection issues this weekend? My icon in the upper left keeps going red and yellow and I can't switch characters or pick stuff up or anything

    it's INSANE how much of the game relies on having an internet connection constantly

    I didn't do anything besides spiral abyss and daily stuff, but I never noticed any issues. I actually can't think of any time that I've had lag issues in Genshin, ever. That doesn't necessarily mean the problem is you, though; could just be an issue in the routing somewhere between you and the server. Here's hoping it doesn't persist.

    I'm on PS5, and the few times I've noticed my ping get out of hand, it was actually due to my PC. IE: torrents. Turned them off and made sure my PC wasn't throttling my bandwidth with uploads/downloads, and game ping went back to normal.

    I shall caveat this by saying that I am not trying to be a homer. I really do believe Edmonton comes out of the west. They are the best team right now. Goaltending is a question but I think they'll be able to score enough.

    I have a hunch that the canes would beat Boston in the conference final. I think the Oilers beat the canes in a cup final. If Boston gets to the cup final, they beat the Oilers. I don't think the Oilers would cope well with the type of team the Bruins have over a 5-7 game series.

    Gonna be weird not watching playoff hockey for the first time since 2008. I was still in college! That was 2 states ago in my life!

    Probably catch some Kraken games at the bar, probably watch some of the finals as well.

    But it's still weird.

    What magic. Mark Stone is available to play in Game 1 against Winnipeg. Amazing how he was too hurt to play Game 82 when the knights were in LTIR, but ready to play a few days later.

    Also apparently the entire Bruins team is sick. That's an exaggeration, but not by much.
