Pre-Game Talk: Oil Humble / Royal Rumble: Sat, Jan 28

[tardigrade81]

I would never open with it, but I watch wrestling because it’s better than anything else on the television and my woman hasn’t left me!

i read that as “Tim Hortons laced spicy Cajun chicken wrap” and was thinking “no duh you’re stuck to the shitter, man”
that coffee is so acidic..

Lmao their coffee is horrrific on the guts too. I rarely drink it anymore

Skinner better not get the start he’s been horrible and Campbell has been on a heater wtf

sad but true. Skinner’s glove has been awful and it’s ruining his confidence in everything he does.. Campbell has been good with his glove since that first game where he swapped that catcher with a blue net to the one with mesh.

Our guys really need to hire their own goalie coach, they could have secret skype meetings to review & discuss video.. I am so sour on Schwartz

I think Skinner has still been fine but I find he struggles to close games out. Is that just me thinking this?

Skinner will be fine in the long run but right now, Soup is the guy.

I tried playing GoldenEye 007 on the Switch yesterday ... even with the N64 controller man these controls are tough, lol. So different from a modern FPS.

Oh man I had no idea that game was on there. I'm off to try it

You have to have a Nintendo Switch online subscription but yeah it's been on the N64 app since yesterday I think.

I have it. I just finished Majoras Mask

Apparently the default control scheme is a little rough especially if you don't have the N64 controller which is hard to get I guess. You can "fix it" by doing this:



The game is higher resolution and runs at a better frame rate than the original so that's a nice bonus.

Was browsing the merch site. Didn't buy anything but found humor.

I really noticed the graphics upgrade and framerate for sure. I don't have an n64 controller tho

Go back the Ducks game, they had 3 shots in the 3rd and scored on one of them from the half boards, a little flub to the net to win the game.

Fast forward to the Columbus game, he had 8 shots in the 3rd, did they even get a real scoring chance in those 8 shots? Let in 2, and let in 1 on 3 shots in the 3rd.

No its not just you thinking it, hes proven it.

They sold out that quickly? Oof

 

[Gordy Elbows]

Huge night tomorrow as The Oilers look to rebound after a humbling loss to the worst team on the league. Also, Tomorrow is Royal Rumble.

What are your predictions for the game and for The Rumble?

I think Oilers come out hard and win the must win game. I think Sami Zayn, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins and Solo are the final four in the men’s rumble, with Rhodes ultimately winning.

Roman retains with help from Sami Zayn as well.

Winner of the Rumble is whoever has the folding chair.
The game? That’s harder to predict.

They're cool but good God that price is insane

I can't even lie the colorway on those Chuck Taylors is sooo sexy. Blue and Orange; the cool and warm contrast between those colors is eye candy.

These are better (Gretzky/Dustin Johnson edition adidas) but they're golf shoes

Reminds of like 80s era Fuhr gear, love it but I wouldn't pay $200 for these lol. If they made a non-golf version of this shoe for $140 or something, I'd buy the shit out of it.

Not old enough to recall that era but I am sure beauty is timeless and this team has some of the most beautiful colors to work with and constantly lol's designing jerseys.

They got it right first time.

Wear these jerseys home/away/practice/press conference/parent teacher night, I don't care until you can find something equally flawless to grace with its' presence.

I wouldn’t buy those shoes at 10 cents on the dollar,lol. But that’s me.

Just seems like something you could make with 2 patches bought on ebay at 3.99 ..some fabric paint ...stencils if you can't hand letter well...59.99 for chucks I think ?

I'm not a sneakerhead though so idfk
