I get that he was good while the Oilers were in their winning streak during the regular season, but I still think it’s an open question if you can win a Stanley Cup with Stuart Skinner as your goalie.

Rangers are very good but the way the Canes are completely shitting the bed when it comes to special teams is frustrating. The reffing has been atrocious (both sides) especially in overtime. Game 3 obviously a must win.

Keefe - It's very evident when teams play the Leafs, they set up the game for the Leafs to beat themselves Words of someone who knows they are getting fired. Basically admitting they are losing because of coaching. You almost feel bad for Matthews whos entire career so far has been...

I turned the game on about halfway through the 2nd period and saw that Boston only had 1 shot on goal and I thought it was a error or something. How is it possible that a team has now gone to sleep in clinching games two times in a row now for large stretches of the game? I actually think that...

The only rule for the penalty shot is he just has to keep moving forward, which he does. It’s basically the slowest you can possibly move on skates while still going forward. I get it though, I hated it too when he played for the Caps. I don’t like the overtime shootout in general because at...

Agree I mean it’s called a ‘penalty’ shot for a reason. How bout just be a better goalie and stop the shot. It’s not like it’s impossible to defend.

Great show and one that actually got me to read up more on Japanese history of that era. All the actors were really good. The interactions were spot on (Mariko and her husband, especially their last scene where he essentially is asking forgiveness was powerful). Yabushige and Torinaga's...

Yea I got that series dead wrong. I’d like to think they at least pull out G4 but I’m not even sure about that. Sometimes the other team is just flat out better (see Canes and Rangers).

I didn't watch the entire game but did watch when he made the save which was insane, just a dive into the air hoping you catch anything. Important part of the game too, you wonder how much that game changes if Tampa takes the lead there. I still think Tampa has something in tank when they get...

Final shot attempts were 110 Hurricanes, 28 Islanders. Everyone thinks this is a typing error. It's not. The best way I can describe it is in a boxing match where one fighter is just continuously throwing blow after blow against a guy on the ropes. It literally felt like the last 8 mins of...

I agree with this but I will say this is the best roster they've had in the Brind'Amour era (6 yrs). They have never had a top line like Guenztel/Aho/Jarvis, not even close. Health was always the issue in years past, this year they are mostly healthy. We'll see what happens.

I guess time for 1st round predictions: Canes/Islanders - Canes NYR/Caps - NYR Bruins/Leafs - Bruins Lightning/Panthers - Lightning Stars/Knights - Stars Oilers/Kings - Oilers Avs/Jets - Avs Canucks/Preds - Canucks (closer series than people think)

I got to admit, I'm surprised at the push the Penguins are doing right now when they were dead in the water during and shortly after the trade deadline. Couple that with how Philly is shitting the bed every game and you can wind up with the scenario of the Islanders just backing into the Metro...

Yea I was at the game last night, the reffing wasn't great. Canes PK is basically a brick wall right now. I remember looking at the scoreboard and seeing the shots at something like 30-10 in the 2nd period and I'm thinking how the hell are we losing this game (I think it was 2-1 Caps at the...

What's interesting is out of all those teams, the only one that has semi decent underlying numbers is probably Philly. Their problem is they are essentially trying to do this with only one decent (not great) goalie which is why the news about the russian goalie yesterday was interesting. They...

Canes-Caps was insane. Can't complain about the point when you give up 6 goals. I still hate shootouts though.

Yea the problem is Canes played like garbage most of the game (was at the game last night) and Rod said as much so I'd be pretty surprised if they came out with that kind of effort tonight against the Caps. It's something they still found a way to get 2 pts (or maybe says more about Philly). I...

It (so far) just looks like a great fit. It's also a big deal that Orlov is here with him (who ironically has finally started playing great the last few weeks). If they can all get on the same page (Svechnikov has been struggling in the goal department) that line is insane with its goal...

He's been pretty good. Another goal and assist last night. It's so evident how good of a player he is. I'm not sure we've had a more efficient passer, at least not recently. If he continues to play like he has so far (which is no guarantee), it's probably the steal of the trade deadline...

Canes with another wild one against the Leafs. 2 goals by Aho in the last minute and a half. Wild OT including killing a Leafs PP. Guentzel with shootout winner. They may still not win the division (a question if they should considering who the WC opponent would be - Tampa?) but man are they...

I'm just glad my team (Canes) finally said 'fuck it let's go' and went high rolling for Guenzel and then rolling the dice on Kuznetsov.

Was a good game, just never really felt the Chiefs were going to lose. Mahomes has kind of reached that Brady level of where you just expect him to drive the team to score at the end. I don't blame the Niners for going first in OT but the game was essentially lost when they couldn't score a TD...

Yea I had read this season had connections with S1. That was obvious after the first episode where they had the symbol on Annie's corpse. I thought it was a good 2nd episode. The story is moving at a decent clip. Foster is really good and the rest of the acting isn't that bad.

Hard to judge just in the first episode, the setting definitely is a plus though. Foster is good in most stuff just have to see how the rest of the cast pans out. Also not sure how many caught the yellow king symbol in one of the dead body pics.

The problem is Twitch starting going down the road of what is 'allowed' a long time ago, it's their enforcement policies that were trash. They made the decision years ago that they are beyond just a 'gaming' platform. Look at how many viewers are in the 'Just Chatting' category which is...

I just thought it was average. The battles were great but I also didn’t think the acting was good. This was one of those where it was more Phoenix cosplaying as Napoleon. The movie moves so fast from event to event. Was expecting more and walked out a little disappointed to be fair.

I can see why some would be disappointed that it doesn't have the NMS seamlessness and that's probably going to be the biggest dividing line when it comes to how people look at this initially. I saw one review that said that the space travel is more in line with Mass Effect 1 than NMS and...

There was also the argument that if they went ahead and invaded Japan (costing american soldier lives) instead of dropping the bomb, Truman and the rest of the admin would of had a lot to answer for as they had a 2 billion dollar weapon and didn't use it.

9/10 for me, solid acting all around. Cillian Murphy was very good but I thought Robert Downey Jr. was amazing. Ton of name actors in this, I didn't even know Gary Oldman was Truman (excellent scene). Nolan has this ability to make almost every scene have some sort of tension and it was on...

I'm not sure if there are any that I 'regret'. There are definitely some that I wish I was more into but I just couldn't do it like Red Dead Redemption II (and I love the GTA series). Another one may be Dark Souls (and perhaps souls-type games in general). Want to love them, but maybe not...

Yea but if you look through history (especially recent), most perfect games are against bad teams. Still pretty hard to do since there are only 24. Most impressive one is obviously Don Larson as that was done in the World Series against the defending champs Brooklyn Dodgers.

I think the layoff also had an effect, especially when it came to Bob. When goalies are playing like he was I don't think you want too much time off to disrupt that. Gratz to Vegas, consistent good all year and Aiden Hill was good enough to take them to the finish line.

The modding aspect is what makes me look forward to Besthesda games these days and Starfield will be no different. It'll be fascinating to see what modders can come up with with that type of worldspace. Also some of the side stories in their games are really good, almost eclipsing the main...

Yea pretty much. Series was incredibly close, it’s probably a completely different series if the Canes just win one of the overtime games at home. Florida just capitalized on their chances so they were better in the end. Bob was also a big part, if they get average goaltending I can believe...

Yea I made it as far as the 3rd OT and then went to bed due to work so I'm only working on 4 hrs of sleep. TBH I wasn't feeling good about it once I turned it off, just thought overall Florida was playing a better game with the exception of the 3rd period. The goalies were great, both teams...

This series is going to be trench warfare, I didn't realize most consider Florida to be the #2 checking team in the league (behind the Canes). The storylines are pretty crazy especially considering it's the 25th anniversary season for the Canes (Staal brothers reunion - Eric won the cup here in...

It’s crazy how the Canes defense is an afterthought by most pundits and also how productive they are offensively (led the league in goals by D). This is not to say that the injuries don’t matter because they do but let’s be fair, the biggest loss is Svech. Teravanian really has had a bad year...

The biggest criticism I've seen so far is that is should of happened in Game 6. The Bruins really had no business losing that game if they had gotten reliable goaltending and it was obvious Ullmark was having issues. Then add in how flat and mistake prone they were in the first 2 periods last...

I'll just do first round for now. East - Bruins, Canes, Leafs, Rangers West - Avs, Knights, Oilers, Stars

I’d prefer the Canes win the division to avoid the Rangers but any team is going to be tough. Unlike other sports there really isn’t any easy 1st rounds anymore. Even with the Bruins I can see a team like the Islanders being a pain in the ass if they play them. I’m just hoping nobody gets...
