Man you guys had more than I thought.
Congratulations to team U.S.A.

For Canada though, they did quite well. 6 golds is more than we usually get. 23 medals in total is also quite good by Canada standards.

It was 7 and 24! Kelsey Mitchell won sprint cycling last night. I believe I saw somewhere that 24 is the most medals that Canada’s ever won at a non-boycotted summer games. And we also have the World’s Greatest Athlete to boot 😁

Franchise Mode is unrealistic, players that teams would never make available in a million years are left unprotected due to being 32+ (and since the game thinks too long-term, they let them go in exchange for protecting prospects that won't see action for 3 years). HUT I like bec. it allows you to create a fantasy-draft-like roster, auction off players you no longer have use for, and accumulate better players as you get more skilled. Just don't spend any actual money on it.


As a person who loves diving into the CBA and CapFriendly as much as anyone else, I am very aware that Franchise mode is imperfect and unrealistic. But you can do your best to make it as realistic as possible, but it’s flaws in the fact that the people making the game aren’t as obsessed with the NHL salary cap as I am is nullified by being able to load up your team, edit your lines and PP/PK units, set the numbers for your players, call up and send down people, and watching Carey lift that cup over his head.

Also it sounds like you’re talking about the expansion draft, which I never do. Mostly because it takes too much time, you can’t make the logos look good, and I never play as a team other than Montréal.

HUT I can understand how you like it, but it’s almost like a completely different game, and it’s not my cup of tea.

We’re you guys, but the winter version.


2018 was our highest medal count total (29 I believe which was 3rd place overall) but we usually lead first in golds give or take.

Cant wait for next year (regardless of the medals) - I find winter sports so fun (not that summer isn’t but I feel like summer is so diluted with 428 events or some **** lol)

Yeah anyone who says Warner isn’t arguably the top athlete in the world is nuts.

SN590 had a good piece talking about how they need to rebrand decathlon because the sheer talent and how crazy that event is and how crazy it is to do that well (how well Warner did this year) is nuts. They need to give some better title branding and hell even a better or larger award!

(For example: Warner doesn’t even train specifically for what was it long jump or high jump; since he has to do 10 events yet he woulda won Bronze in said event that is those guys main discipline and so on yet he doesn’t get bronze because he doesn’t compete in that specific section of the event).

Either way Warner is ****ing insane. That’s a super human.

It’s truly a shame that he isn’t uploading recently. The Storm Bears franchise mode series will always have a special place in my heart. He’s hands down one of my favourite YouTubers.

Tossed my two cents in.

But I think the Olympics needs the NHL for hockey.

If the NHL’ers are participating I’d be terribly shocked if they lose. They’re by far the favourites.

Yo maybe it’s just me, tossing in my opinion from y’all above;

America’s team this year in the Olympics is ****ed.

Yeah I still want and think Canada will win but the USA has arguably the scariest team imo. RUS CAN SWE FIN are all great but I think the States could do some real damage in 2022.

Insanely deep and talented everywhere and goaltending that is just as good as everyone’s if not better.

I’m reluctant to bet on Price even with his recent showing because he could fall off any time now. Not saying he will but if he does Cart has fallen off his rookie high hard. Behind that the rest are question marks. (Fleury no imo, Blackwood maybe, etc etc).

So Luke Fox caused a rift in the Habs fan base and the war of words on twitter is getting pretty funny

Toronto was also tagged in his article but it seems its a bigger deal for MTL

Can you direct me to what you’re talking about. Because there’s already some pretty big rifts between the competent and incompetent to begin with.
