  9. Online Etiquette Guide

    in Getting Started

    Posted · Edited by The Russian Rocket

    I never skipped Hot & Cold streaks until AFTER I got on this site, and found SMOZ posts showing how that is actually inaccurate and that being "hot" means you might not be hot at all, and being "cold" might actually be cold either.

    So, in the end, I ended up getting so mad about having wasted all those years looking at it and thinking this guy was hot, etc, and now realize they miss coded the whole f'n thing.

    As a guy who bought the game when it came out on my Sega, I'm not sure when NOT skipping this meaningless intro became "bad etiquette". I do TRY to not do it when I play FPB, but still seem to do it to him every other game.

    It still shows the overall accurately on the screen so I can guess if they're hot or cold from that. IIf you're not a line editor it saves me the time from checking ur s**t out in Team Rosters

    That's fair. Vancouver does have some depth in linden, semenov, and Adams. Buffalo has khmylev and maybe errey. I'd give van the edge there in terms of being able to mix and match.

    What I learned in the last gdl I was in that speed is useful. Even if it's guys with moderate skill, they can be super useful if deployed appropriately.

    Semenov just bizarro smart. He's always waiting on the door step for that one timer and he's great defensively.

    In a vacuum I don't question the value of 16. I just don't think he and 89 are a great duo that compliment each other extremely well. But that's my take, I can understand why you may argue that they are.

    When it comes to tier one teams for me personally I don't think they should have big question marks attached to them. If they do they need to have an incredible strength to counter it. When I look at Buffalo I just see a noticeably less Chicago. At least with Vancouver you get 3 5+ speed guys with comparable skill. That's pretty damn unique and allows them to diversify more than buffalo. That's my take but I think there is plenty of room for both teams in the argument.

    Honestly don't think Geoff is that useful. I never dressed him on VAN and I think a couple of other people don't. He's just retarded defensively and he's not the guy you'd rather have carry the puck

    Okay, please enlighten me and explain what skills Charlie Huddy, Darryl Sydor or ANY other LA defenseman have that are better than Mcsorley?

    Also, who is better than Tatarinov? 5/1 shot, 3/3 skate, 4 stk, 4 pass?

    Why are you so defensive lol I just said it's my opinion. I just think you're adjusting it to your own biases rather than anything else.

    I'd rather play Gusarov since he's a better skater even for the pass/sth downgrade considering Duschene is the primary puckhandler back there. As nice as Tatarinov's 5SHP is 1 SHA makes it a lottery at best.

    I'd rather play Sydor as well because C-B is more forgiving in terms of weight disrepancy so Sydor can check most players anyway. Think Hatcher is also overrated because he just brings the same skillset as Iafrate while being unbearably slow

    My update on AJ's initial rankings and I noted if the team moved up or down from that initial ranking. This mainly needed an update due to CB-check ability, but I also factored in the 3rd dman. I gave stronger weight to the two starters, but I did take a look at the first sub.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Personally I think you're overreacting as bad as some initially after the weight bug. You list guys that are absolute trash bags and provide nothing besides C-B checking as a +, Even though skill is the main factor lighter d-men are smoother skaters and that counts for something

    is the funny part that he doesn't know the difference between a ho and a hoe or the fact that he doesn't seem to grasp that his barrage of insults doesn't appropriately apply to anything/anybody?

    Probably the one where you keep hanging out on a website where everybody wishes you weren't there and then somehow think it's appropriate to comment like that
