    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    It's such a trashy move by their owner. Awful.

    Yeah, Brazil might be the bigger name, but Norway deserve their spot. The Quarters might all be bangers, and semis might legit end up France v Spain, and England v Argentina.

    Might depend on how they lay out the world map in Revelation, but some of the backstory stuff from Ever Crisis with former lands/people that Shinra basically conquered or got rid of could be added I guess. I'm skeptical how much of the Dirge lore will get included in Revelation (I mean, there's...

    This isn't the only reason they've looked like shit, though. They've played like shit at times. Opening match v Congo perfect example. Numerous chances to play crosses into the box..nah lets just back pass it and maintain possession. Congo had a shot on goal every 20 passes while Portugal...

    I'm a little more skeptical on their place in the East even with him. They kind of snuck in the playoffs this year on a ton of loser points, and hoping that Vladar doesn't turn into a pumpkin going forward. Even if he doesn't, Carolina isn't going anywhere, the Caps have loaded up, and in...

    Sometimes yes, sometimes the opposite. Feels like he's barely had any service at times (he's also done poorly on a few potential chances, too). But they could be crossing the ball a lot more and he's still a big threat on those. There's a reason they looked better after they made those...

    In the 2nd half, certainly. Played so conservative in the 1st, Portugal probably should have had more. Portugal just so strange, they have an insane midfield but for whatever reason they play like shit together on the national team a lot of the time. Drags their whole attack down.

    In terms of young studs and their place in the league, gotta rank 'em Mack, Schaeffer, Carlsson. Is he worth $18M a year in a vacuum currently? Maybe not, but with rising cap and the fact he's a legit 1C going forward...fuck it.

    Both pretty equal at this point, when goals are getting called back for literal inches.

    Carlson signing with the Lightning feels so wrong.

    Thank goodness we didn't end up with Trouba. Our D a little shaky overall, but hopefully Sandin can come back mostly healthy before end of the year. Caps forward group won't have a real super star or stud top line, but the depth will be pretty crazy.

    He already knows he's getting $100M+ on this deal, why not get it somewhere he can compete for a Cup, too? Just my guess at what he's thinking.

    That's rough. Great fan base and a franchise just itching to climb to relevance but can't get big names to go there.

    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    Love what we're doing so far. With adding guys to top of the lineup, roster spaces at the bottom were going to be tough to come by, and too many guys to all try and clear waivers. Getting some mid picks for guys like Lapierre and Chisholm instead of potentially losing them to waivers is smart.

    Only the top 8 of the 3rd place teams go through, right?

    Having more games because of more teams and more games against weaker comp as a result this is inevitable.

    It'll age poorly by the end (assuming we don't end up moving him after Year 5 or something), but if cap keeps going up, it'll look less bad. When you're a team with no real terrible contracts, and everyone seems to only want to go to the same 4 teams lately (Vegas, Minny, Dallas...

    Ovi plays LW. And if he comes back, it'll likely be as a 3rd line roll at 5v5/PP specialist. You move one of the right guys to their off wing on the left, and role Older Protas brother, guy that moved to LW, Ovi as your LW in the top 9. Beauvillier perfectly fine as a 4th line LW.

    Tuch sign and trade to Caps. 8 years, $10.5M per. I know the cap is rising, so it'll be ok for a couple years, but that will be ugly in a few seasons. Definitely better forward group for this year, though. Crazy. Still have $12.5M in cap space.

    Kinda love this. I know Kyrou had a down year last year, but St. Louis was shit. Should be quite the upgrade over McMichael, and Gastrin didn't have the most impressive year after getting drafted. Still having #18 overall from Anaheim in the Carlson trade makes moving our 1st much easier, too.

    They did mention being able to jump off at islands, so who knows. I know they said the major limiting factor will be some areas are just too high level for the party at the start of the game. Even "zones" like from Rebirth won't be finish everything there before moving on, some areas will only...

    Most are compared to simple "possibilities" in the lifestream, and don't exist for very long. They do need to kind of elaborate on the whole thing, and they have hinted the title refers partially to Sephiroth and what exactly is going on. Zach supposed to represent a lot of that, but whether...

    There's a bit of a further conundrum with the white materia, in that the events in Remake (Part 1) "drained" Aerith's white materia of whatever was inside (most likely memories, as the whole bit of her and Red XIII seeming to know the future during/up to the end of Part 1 they seem to have...

    Eh, Caps only lost Game 1 to Vegas, and that only on a missed call Reaves cross checking Carlson in front of our net to create room to score. After that pure gentleman's sweep.

    They did say some sections would be visited out of order. Obviously Wutai was a likely component of that, since it was completely optional in the OG and people visited it either somewhat early or not until fairly late in the game. Changing when we go to Rocket Town could be part of that...

    Btw, they confirmed Rocket Town is in the game, one of the later areas (assuming space mission part?). Can pretty much bet stuff like Rocket Town, snowboarding, undersea stuff with submarine and Emerald will be reveals in later trailers.

    Kinda felt a bit like the different roles from XIII, as well. Hamaguchi confirmed in the Max interview each character will have a total of 4. Have to assume some variation between characters. Cross platform on release is the fucking best, apparently there is gear sets, as well.
