Completely legit. Will happen. iRacing is a proper developer, not some front for Russian money laundering.

Hahahaha.

i dont know if it's that

i think it's more like Sony being greedy fucks like they've always been.


Then you're not paying attention. Maybe you can parachute into trade policy in November for two months like the NHL Playoffs. Certainly you have a formula that has figured out for decades how ...

why isn't nintendo increasing prices then?


Because some companies are choosing to absorb the increased costs of the tariffs for as long as they can instead of passing along to the consumer, hoping Trump will TACO like he has with most of his tariff plans.

Sony eventually raised the white flag ...

Tariff costs being passed to the consumer. So. Much. Winning.

Forgotten by people who only follow hockey for two months per year, maybe. Not forgotten by avid hockey fans.

Mid 10s/Early 20s Tampa Bay Lightning:

2014-15: Lost SCF
2015-16: Lost ECF
2016-17: Missed playoffs
2017-18: Lost ECF
2018-19: Lost first round
2019-20: Won Stanley Cup
2020-21: Won Stanley Cup
2021-22: Lost SCF

Four Stanley Cup Final trips in eight years, with two wins. Advanced to at least the ...

-- Animations are better, especially tackling. Dan is right: You feel the hits more this year.
-- Graphics are cleaner
-- Game day presentation is nuts, especially the music
-- Quarterbacks aren't nearly as accurate, which is good
-- You will pay far more dearly for throwing into double coverage ...

The right side of Montreal's defense may be set for a decade with Hutson and Dobson. Hell of a pickup for the improving Habs.

Looks like Vegas is zeroing in on Marner. Oh, joy, considering my team also plays in the Pacific Division.

Wait: I thought the prevailing opinion in Leafs Nation was that ...

If the Oilers picked up Marchand instead of FLA, they win the cup. That's what I mean by they need a real star. maybe star was the wrong word, but a guy who knows how to win. Maybe winner is the right word. A guy who not just wins but knows how to win. I don't think anyone on the oilers is there ...

Demko is tempting, but the $25 million contract paid over five years to Jack Campbell three years ago still haunts this franchise. Granted, Demko is far better than Campbell, who basically had one good season in Toronto and couldn't stop a beach ball in his limited run for the Oil.

Still, Demko's ...

Florida was too relentless, responsible and consistent.

Just look at the playoff scoring for both teams. The Panthers had about seven to nine guys who could be counted on to score. The Oilers had ... two, and they were shut down by Barkov and the Panthers' forecheck in the Final. It was SO easy ...

"Draisaitl set the record for most overtime goals in a single postseason, with four -- after setting the record for most overtime goals in the regular season. He is the third player in Stanley Cup Final history with multiple OT goals in a single series -- along with Don Raleigh in 1950 with the New ...

if i made it up i would have said something like 25/25 or 30/30.

jealousy is not a good trait

I'd only be jealous if you monetized this incredible skill by betting it. Which, of course, you didn't. So, yeah ... it's hard to be jealous of something pulled from thin air.

A few more stats about the "only good" Leon Draisaitl that your "formula" didn't spit out (courtesy of Jason Gregor):

— Became the fifth player in NHL history to score three OT goals in one playoff year.
— Set the Oilers record for most OT goals in one year with three. Esa Tikkanen had two in 1991 ...

like i told you i'm not a nhl fan. im a nhl playoffs fan. i don't watch the regular season. i just watch the playoffs. and it's easy to determine based off the first round who'll end up and win the finals. my accurate predictions 24/25 years is better than vegas odds.


Nobody believes you, dude ...

Glad to see the merely “good” Draisaitl score two goals last night, including the OT winner.

Oh, and you know who leads the Oilers in goal scoring this playoffs, just as he did the entire NHL during the regular season?

Yeah, the merely good player, Leon Draisaitl.

One down, three to go.


we ...

As Ray Ferraro says about Perry, nobody does more after moving less. The guy's hockey sense is off the charts. He just knows where to be when he doesn't have the puck and what to do when he gets it, with no excess dangling or movement.

His career -- longevity, points, awards, Cup -- is just ...

So, you're all but admitting you're a blind squirrel who finds nuts. At last, some truth and facts from you.

Enjoy the Final.

why yo so mad?

No team has done that since NO TEAM had a talent like McDavid. McDavid is Jordan or Brady where you surround him with the right STARS, you win 4/5/6 rings and have a dynasty.


I'm not mad. I just don't suffer fools gladly.

And if you had one f*cking clue, you would know the NHL ...

If spewing facts are seen as insults in your world, then I'm honored to be incredibly insulting.

Jesus F. Christ: If Leon Draisaitl retired today, he would be a shoo-in first-ballot Hall of Famer in five years. Here's another little insult disguised as a fact, too -- a list of the top five scorers ...

BUT if the Oilers GM/Front Office had any real balls and got McDavid a legit star to play besides him , then McDavid wins 4/5/6 cups in the next 6-7 years. I don't know what they're thinking up there but seems like they're satisfied with 1 or 2 cups when they can get like 5 or 6 cups.


OK, you've ...

"Your formula" -- LOL. This thread is like a bad 70s sitcom.

Edmonton is in!

Just as I predicted way back in round 1.

Where's Mister ' I watched 70+ Oilers games this year and you dont know what you're talking about!'?? :lol: :lol: :lol:


Right here. And yes, I've forgotten more about this team than you'll ever know.

You based your lucky guesses on ...
