    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Robb got killed b/c he fell in love and betrayed his pledge. Everything else sorta lines up...although didn't Karstark want to murder them simply b/c Robb wouldn't let him kill Jaime (not just about letting Jaime go, just keeping him alive in general)? I figure if Jaime was killed Sansa...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Going to have to say wait and see on releasing Jaime and having Brienne escort him back to KL. That's pretty much the entire source of Jaime's honorable streak, his interactions with Brienne. Brienne DID actually find and save Sansa when she was running with Theon. In a convoluted way...

    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    I'll agree the villain wasn't anything special, but the entire story wasn't about beating a villain, it was about Civil War. I'm not convinced it was better than Avengers 1, but it was superior to GotG for me, superior to Cap2 (just barely, b/c Cap2 was also fantastic) and at least equal or...

    Gotta understand, for all the good knowledge Palum has in general, there are plenty of things where he is just a complete fucking idiot. Everyone knows it, they accept it and just deal with it...deep down Palum knows it too, but he'll probablly feign being offended by that and try to convince...

    Being too lazy to look it up myself, but I thought for part of the deal he had a limited NTC (list of 10-15 teams he could pick to not be traded to) but at some point I think a full NTC kicks/ed in? Not positive but I expect he'll be here rest of his deal unless he falls off dramatically.

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    Gotta remember, Ovechkin is only signed for the next 4 seasons (including this one). Backstrom only the next 3 including this one. Kuznetsov won't even be 30 yet when both of those deals run out. I don't think it signifies early exits at all for 8 or 19, even if they sign here again, by that...

    Michael Keaton looked good in the trailers, was pretty sure he'd nail his character. Excited for it.

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    At this point I'd say Kuznetsov is a franchise player for the Caps. Backstrom and Ovechkin probably just as important offensively the next couple years, but before the end of the contract I expect Kuznetsov to be the #1 center and best player on the team. As for Shattenkirk, sounds a lot like...

    When you say no room for Shatt to do his thing...he literally was playing right between the two you mentioned, Backstrom on the half wall, and Ovechkin over by the right circle. Pretty sure Shattenkirk put up a lot of PP points in short time with us. I just think he wants a bigger role at...

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    I think the term is better than the dollars to be honest. He didn't show me enough in his time here to trust him with as big a role as I think he thinks he should get. Meanwhile we gave too much term and money to Oshie, and maybe even Kuznetsov. Love locking Kuzy up for 8 years, was hoping he...

    Fucking GMGM picked Schmidt in the expansion draft. Could have lived losing Grubauer since he was never going to start here with Holtby. Schmidt was a solid guy on the back end who was cheap. Meanwhile Pens get out of Fleury's contract. Didn't see what other "big" contracts Vegas is taking...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Maybe it's because I came into HW later (either just before or just after 3.3), but I felt Stormblood's story was superior. I loved all the dragon history, and the war between them and Ishgard, but with how epic the end of ARR was, felt like they pinned themselves in a corner with HW's story...

    Kind of like Klay Thompson, only really showed up for 2 games in the Finals. Green didn't exactly light it up either. Was mostly the Durant and Curry show.

    The movie I want to see Winter Soldier in next is the obvious Buddy Cop film with Falcon that they built up throughout Civil War. Regarding Black Panther though, this going to be part origin story I assume, followed by picking up where the character left off after CW?

    With Game 6 back in Cleveland I'd put it more likely than not. Then again, so far the only win they have in the series is when Lebron's teammates shoot 57% from 3 and break the Finals record for 3's. So who knows.

    Did you even read what I posted last time? I mentioned that his '07 team was weak as hell and he shouldn't take much heat for that alone.

    Going to have to defend Sid here. Playing a sport where it's far tougher to win championships. 3-1 career Finals record (versus Lebron's about to be 3-5). First team to win back to back titles in 19 years. There's no comparison, Crosby > Lebron.

    Well you knew that was coming. Followed up by Sid getting a 2nd Conn Smythe over Malkin (most points in the playoffs, 2nd most goals), and Guentzel (most goals in the playoffs). 2 years in a row I'd argue other guys on his own team deserved it more.

    Kyrie with 5 less points than Lebron in the series. Outside of one game he's shown up at least as well offensively as Lebron. Honestly thought he was Cavs best player last 2 games overall. For all Lebron's stats his 4th quarter scoring dried up completely in Games 1-3. Not sure how many he...

    They ain't losing tonight the way they are shooting. Would take a similar shooting effort from GS in 2nd half (not that they can't, but unlikely)...along with a collapse from the Cavs' end.

    There's only holes if you ignore the obvious, that those Cavs teams had the best record in the NBA 2 years running. Durant was not on the best team in the West. It was another superstar that he did not mesh completely with, this was no secret. I will talk about not being able to get it done...
