What's the upside to Blackhawk's young Defenceman

[Cubs2024wildcard]

Word

Fo sho.

Personally, I love video games. I think the whole nerd factor fell out of favor a decade ago when gaming became more main stream.

When Hollywood came crashing down as a media provider something had to take it's place. There's better stories in video games (FF7R, Crisis Core) then most main stream crap on TV or in film.

I'd rather play the new final fantasy then watch the next marvel movie, but that's just me.

As for this thread, have they cut Mitchell yet?

Can we now get back to our regularly scheduled broadcast?

I, for one, am enjoying this

I've got a real job. You said it was a dead game, then doubted my numbers. I said it was laughable, proved it to you and you're still mocking my numbers.

Again, I play Fortnite, the most popular BR in the world and I think it's a dead game. Numbers are irrelevant if the games run it's course in my opinion. It's nothing to get defensive about.

People shit all over Fortnite, let them. It's their opinion and it really doesn't effect me either way. I'd rather play a 3PS then a FPS and can't jump from one to another. I have a lifetime KD in Fortnite over 6 and chances are it would be.01 in apex unless I completely grinded the hell out of it for a month straight. Plus, I don't like the whole team aspect of im playing with randos and having to be dependant upon your team mates, from what ive played, compared to FN where i can have the worst squad in the history of the game and still pull a dub even in competitive.

Some people like apples, some oranges.

This thread makes me laugh.

I would rather spend my time trying to decipher a fiddy post (before the aliens abducted him) than slog my way through the pages and pages of non-hockey related stuff in this thread. Just sayin.

Give it a week and every thread will turn into this.

Whats your Fortnite name? I pretty much know all the best players, so I should recognize your name since you are "one of the best."

He's the one who used to stream fortnite, but now streams hockey card box openings (because that is more profitable, forreal forreal). You know, that guy.

For those of you are here to talk hockey, especially Hawks young d-men - this comment is for you. For the rest of you - please ignore this cuz I wouldn't want to distract you from your riveting and relevant commentary.

Before Kaiser's college season/career ended, I was pretty optimistic he would be a piece of the rebuild. Now, since watching him play these handful of games my optimism has been elevated to confidence. I like his game. I think he has a good chance to be more than "just a guy" and right now I would rank him the Hawks #1 d-prospect from the guys we've seen in the NHL. Maybe Korchinski, Allan and/or del Mastro prove to be better but at this point Kaiser is it. The fact he played some on the right side last night (and looked fine) is huge.

You obviously have no clue how much money is in box breaks. 12 cases of The Cup I could realistically charge five grand per spot and have 20 open spots. That's probably more money then some make in a year for one five hour stream.

And getting a two dollar dono every 15 minutes is better then that? LOL

If you knew how streaming works, you'd know that much. But alas, there's no steam chart for box breaks ....

Another Bowman pick.

My personal opinion I don't think he's part of the rebuild and is being showcased for a trade. He doesn't have the size Davidson is looking for in a defenseman.

I really enjoy watching his stick work actually. Little bit Hammer like in style, at least that part. I mean his stick extension while controlling the gap.

Whatever our young D upside is it has got to be better than S.Jonesxas a dman..

He is at-37 with 3 games remaining..This equals his -37 last season

So -74 for his 2 seasons with the Hawks..

Unacceptable for a $9.5AAV alleged 1D.

Sure plays 1D minutes but makes no 1D impact either defensively or offensively...Not worth $9.5 million..

Cannot defend well enough as tge goals just keep piling in ..He isxathletic and should be made a forward..but an instinct for defending I just not there ..Not when you post -74 (or worse of negatives plop again next 3 games).

In fact one of tge ressibsctobwatch Hawks next 3 remaining games is to see OF he can crack the -40 barrier to the Hall of Shame.

Sure it does not help tgat Hawks forwards are so bad defending own zone such that he gets no help from them...but still..-37 or worse is just unacceptable.

He also has not made Hawks pk a top 3rd of league groups a 1D should.


Si he us a genuine Tank Commadrr if played on the D..

Lol. This is absolute horseshit.

There aren't very many breakers who make 100k in a year, let alone in a single f***ing break. Imagine being the guy who continually lies about shit... thinking no one will know what he's talking about, and continually gets called out for it because, yes, people actually do know about things that his arrogant ass thinks they don't. Bro... you're on something as obscure as an internet message board about hockey. You think no one has any insight into streams or streamers? Or box breaking? You're the only one? Lol.

Bruh, you may not realize it, but no one cares about your tiny little internet penis, so constantly trying to make it way bigger than it is... is kind of a waste of your time.

Oh. So you googled "who's the best Fortnite players"?

How many breakers are breaking 12 cases of the Cup with three of them being 2005 and two being 2015? 2015 cases retail for 15k. Do you know what your talking about?

Don't try and lump me in with the guys breaking blasters from Walmart. Just because many can't do it doesn't mean everyone can't.

And I'm saying this once;

If you guys want to talk about streaming make a new thread and stop derailing this one. I'll be more then happy to answer everyone's questions and maybe push some of you into streaming.

The vast majority of people doing breaks do it as a hobby, not as a job, because it doesn't provide enough profit to make a living off of. They basically pay to support their hobby. It's breakers like Iron Lion or Layton that can actually turn a profit on it. Your average joe doesn't make a living doing it.

So you'd have me believe you're one of the "top breakers" in the world, who can turn a profit of 6 figures+ yearly? Lol. Because only the biggest breakers in the world are going to return that kind of money. And if that was actually the case... you'd have no issues telling anyone on here who you are, or giving out your stream, because people like that don't concern themselves with the shit like the doxxing/swatting that you were trying to talk about before.

And on that note, I'm done with this convo.

Last time, make a new thread.

Second, I've been a collecting memorabilia for decades and didn't just start doing this when the pandemic hit. I've been getting cases shipped to my home at cost for over three decades and not once paid market prices for them. I sit on high end so when the price appreciates I make money.

Like I said, 2015 Cup retails for 15k. I paid 4k in 2015. Tell me I'm not making money.

Please, learn what you are trying to call me out on before you call me out.

In a new thread, preferably.

@DisgruntledHawkFan can you please move all of the streaming crap into it's own thread?
