It is worth noting that the Wild decided to move on from Suter with five years remaining on his contract. Their big splash in free agency was signing 36-year old Ryan Suter to a four-year deal. Luckily, this signing will go over well with Mike Babcock when he becomes the Stars head coach sometime in 2022. It’s always a foreboding sign when the current-day Red Wings think a player stinks. The Stars signed Luke Glendening from Detroit for a 2-year deal at $1.5 million AAV. His contracts are probably negotiated by a temp agency. Bowness has not actually been behind the bench for a full 82-game season since 1993–94. That’s it that’s his entire head coaching resume. Became interim coach of the Phoenix Coyotes in 2004, only to be demoted because Wayne Gretzky wanted to try his hand at failing at something for once.He was eventually fired and replaced by- wait for it- Mike Milbury. Coached an Islanders team in 1997–98 owned by a literal con artist, which was entirely because Mike Milbury didn’t want to coach anymore.Left the Boston Bruins in 1992 after a conference final appearance to coach a historically awful Ottawa Senators expansion team that fudged their expansion draft because they couldn’t even figure out how to work a laptop properly.Good for him! Now let’s play the hits of his NHL head coaching career: Rick Bowness, who managed to parlay said fake bubble success into a full-time head coaching gig. The Western Conference bubble was just one of those contests of who could hold on to a car the longest, except you don’t actually win the car in the end. Other teams lost because losing just meant you got to leave Edmonton faster. Winning three rounds in a glorified pee-wee tournament in Edmonton is not an accomplishment. I think 2020 was the fake iteration of the Stars. Some may consider this a down year for the Stars and expect a bounce back this season. Their 5–1–1 start was more or less a mirage anyway, having beaten Detroit, Columbus, and a Nashville team that didn’t start winning until they decided to play a goalie halfway through the season. The Stars then had another nine-day pause because hell literally froze over in Texas and the state considers understanding electrical grids to be part of the liberal agenda.Īs you can expect, having to play 40 games in 70 days did not exactly go well for the Stars. They were basically screwed from the beginning, having to wait a week and a half just to start their season after their entire team got COVID. The Stars expected to have a promising season, building on their improbable Cup run in the bubble. Still kind of mad that they completely fucked over L2, it was fine in NHL 20, but people who were shit at the game complained about being completely dunked on so in the eyes of the EA devs it had to go, Just like when people complained about the one handed tuck being too strong in VS they made it completely useless.Well…*gestures broadly at the state of Texas in its entirety*. The AI is a fucking embarrassment to all AI technology that exists today it makes modes like HUT and VS unplayable at times as you literally have to babysit the AI, You wonder why the optimal HUT strategy is 5-0 TRAP and skill zoning it's because the AI is fucking awful and if you leave it to it's own devices it will fuck you over. Speaking of the soundtrack why are they so afraid of putting songs from any year other than 2021, No Classic songs? what's the fucking deal with that? They actually made a decent soundtrack but I'm about to turn it off because there are couple of annoying songs. but in NHL 22 you can't even disable certain songs, A FEATURE that was literally in NHL 2005. These pea brains at EA STILL haven't made the soundtracks customizable in NHL 14 you could literally upload your own songs for the soundtrack. The Devs after like 4 years still haven't figured out how to make deking work as you still sometimes just randomly lose the puck for having a low deking stat when they could easily just make lower deking stats make your dangles slower. Bumps are still unbelievably broken every skater without that one big rig perk fall over like a stack of hay at the smallest of bumps. Passing is somehow even worse then NHL 21 which if you have 2 guys on the same diagonal it always goes to the furthest guy. Poke checks are busted and there is literally no consequence for spamming them unlike NHL 19 were you would be in the box almost immediately if you weren't careful, EA STILL hasn't fixed the glitch that locks the game up for like 10 seconds the game after you score.
