I think it helps having a guy like Pickles down there on the bench, giving advice etc between shifts. I’m not gonna say it’s all him but I see more calm play in their own zone on those three games versus some of the ones that he’s not played in.

Can’t really fault him on the first goal it was the third breakaway he faced, the second I’m sure he’d love back. He just had a great second period though. They gotta play better in front of him in the third.

Every so often all of CFB will be Notre Dame fans and this results in ND getting blown out. Yesterday they somehow bucked this trend.

Just now got to watch the vid. Really wish Paul spent less time bashing Smith. He hasn’t been great but as a rookie he has to be given some leash. Make your point and move on no need to pile on. If you want to bash some players there’s a couple veteran defensemen who have been pretty bad of late.

Yep every time. That was a hell of a play too.

I was about to come in here guns blazin to defend pillars of eternity 2 but then realized you probably meant path of exile.

Nothing I saw from the team postgame last night said the team was blaming the refs. As fans though we don’t have to be beholden to that same accountability and can call it what it was, a poorly officiating game. That said this team really needs to learn how to play while ahead.

Lessen the focus on rookie cards. I always hate the first few sets of a new year and it’s like oh we don’t care about him anymore.

Definitely looking better but also lots to go. Happy with the trajectory of course. Still see a lot of reaction instead of anticipation but that will come with time.

They are competing though and that’s good.

So many legal land destruction cards that are way more punishing than this however I don’t like that titan punishes basics users more. The leaves play part leaves this really abusable by blink/recursion strats. Agree not for casual games but not sure it should be banned with the other things legal.
