GDT: Game 55: Red Wings at kraken 3:30 pm et 2/19/24 (ESPN+, ESPN)

Big win!

I really like the line of 27-71-88

#27 is finally being used for his size and provides one hell of a screen.

Need some help from the beloved Sens tonight to beat Tampa at home…. Would be a perfect start to the week if they can win in regulation.

Looking good right now

Didn't watch the game , glad you prove me wrong about 27

It’s kind of like an EA Sports NHL game… where you need to put together a power forward, with a goal scorer and a playmaker to get 100% chemistry….

But in all seriousness, as long as 71 is paired with somebody skilled, so 88/23/93, I think Ras will be a good compliment to that line. He brings a different element to the game that no other forward can on the team… his big body provides one hell of a screen. He can easily be the new piano puller for the first line

This is the worst functioning website in history. Glacially slow. Half the time pages just time out. Especially the main forum menu.

The live feeds especially tend to drag my entire internet to a crawl

We must have watched different games. That line was atrocious, with the sole exception of Kane.

Are you using AOL dialup? I don't have any issues with the website at all.

It's probably attributed to a laptop that is 8 years old at this point. The fact remains, streaming a game, and having this feed open slows things down

 

[cvaicunas]

Lol. Once again allowing a garbage offensive team to dominate you in the defensive zone.

Teams with a heavy fore check tend to do that to the Wings

I'm using a 1995 Packard Bell and I browse HFBoards while switching between the Red Wings game and three different varieties of clown porn. I think you are internetting wrong.

Clearly I have much to learn, teach me master

One of the great paradoxes in sport: how a guy can look good and bad at the sand time. Case in point: Maatta. He was in the mix all night. The puck followed him around. He kept the zone frequently. He cycled well. Yet, for all the shots he took, I don't think any of them made it past the first defender. It was almost comical.

 

[norrisnick]

I'm running a $5K workstation streaming CCTV footage from 6-10 stores across NA and HFBoards is still the slowest most trash website I've come across. Terrible on my phone, terrible on my gaming system at home, terrible here at work. Just trash from top to bottom.

You gotta be kidding me, get a laptop with a solid state hard drive. I bought one as soon as they switched my work computer, and I realized how much faster they are at everything.

I have a $500 Dell laptop I bought pre-COVID, and I have no issues. Pages load just as fast as any page on the web. As always, you're missing some logical step that is just common sense for everyone else. I have no idea what issue you created for yourself, but it's not the website. It's you.

Edit: Pages load in less than a second for me. I am not kidding. I have Xfinity high speed.

Maatta should stop shooting. Like never take another shot again for the rest of his career. The risk/reward factor sucks. It gets blocked or intercepted and goes the other way too often.

 

[14ari13]

I don't get why Maatta took that stupid penalty.

3rd goal was soft. Very soft.

The line of Larkin Kane and Rasmussen was bad because of Kane. Lalonde has to figure this out, and quickly.

Once I'm in a subforum, it's largely ok. Still a mess. Coming to the site for the first time or going to the main forum menu? Good luck. Fails to load at about a 50% rate and even if it works it takes at least 20-30 seconds.

It's actually easier to move around forums to use the notification links if someone had thumbed up or quoted a post in a different subforum, rather than going to the main directory.

Are you ad blocking?

Don't tell the overlords but that makes this site a billion times better.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

Just sitting here mashing f5 and cackling as the page reloads in <1 second.

Edit: Just screamed "HFBOARDS DOT COM" as loud as I could at my toaster and this popped out. Connection seems pretty solid.

the ads on this board are by far the worst out of any website i've ever used, and that's coming from someone who watches enough porn to make larry flynt blush

 

[norrisnick]

I've done both with and without adblocking. Multiple different browsers. Nothing really helps unless there is one particular one that works better than others. Some magic combination of browser and blocker that isn't trash.

I just tried the main board and some forums on there, no issues at all. No ad block, using Chrome. Every page loads up within one second.

No wonder why you post so much BS, you're doing it for the link, lol.

Is that why Bucci called him "Roley-Poley Ollie"?

They had some good shifts late I thought, but otherwise I agree, the line didn’t work and were defending majority of their shifts. Larkin was mostly invisible, and works better with Raymond. Ras used his body well protecting the puck but there wasn’t much puck possession from the line.

Yeah hfboards is trash for usability. It's often impossible to follow threads while the game is going. I'll try to go to the latest page and then back a couple pages to catch up. If the latest page is 18, I'll go to 17 and it only loads a handful of posts as if it is the latest page. If I go to page 16, same thing. Refreshing doesn't help. Time stamps will show posts as just posted. Some time after the game is over and posting slows down, functionality goes back to normal. It's been this way for years across multiple phone and PC devices, on different wifi connections or using data. So it's not on my end.

I don't know if they're related, but the footballs future forums are the exact same way.

Random comment but am I the only one who sometimes sees images fine in a GDT but then randomly they will turn into a broken link image?

Yeah the attachments seems to break for some reason. But then show up on other browsers? I dunno.

I generally can't see them at all.

Edit: Naturally I say that when the one right above me works out just fine

I believe it depends where they are hosted.
