    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Anderson played well after the start, but I think our lack of good goalies is just too great to overcome. We needed to be up 2-0 just to push it to lose in 7, now I assume Boston wins in 5 (although I think every game will be close).

    The first 2 goals Jarry gave up should have been routine saves, maybe you can excuse the third goal because he was screened by Letang. The Penguins also totally dominated the game for long stretches, the entire second period felt like the only time the Isles touched the puck was to desperately...

    Feel like the Isles had luck on their side, Jarry gave up some Caps' goalie-esque soft goals. I'll take it though

    Eichel is obviously better than Kuzy, but if he wants out they won't get fair value for him. Besides that, WHEN Kuzy is locked in he's pretty elite himself; he was our MVP when we won the cup imo, he played out of his mind. He still flashes that level of play from time to time, maybe a change of...

    I love Kuzy when he's in the zone, but that's sadly 30% of the time or something. If we can swing Eichel for him without also giving up a ton of other assets, I'd be amazed. As for the playoffs, East is obviously going to be Pens and Bruins. Caps goaltending will be our downfall, Rask will steal...

    Tenet (2020)

    This is probably 1 of the few movies I legit could not finish. It was boring and made no sense, I think I made it through just over an hour. In the long lost days of movie theaters, I probably would've gone to see this and been immeasurably disappointed in the $60 wasted

    What Jarry did is what wins cups. He made a lot of tough saves, Samsonov didn't, that's the game. At this point I'm honestly worried about whether the caps can finish even second in the division.

    My expectation is that they'll take Oshie to be the face of the franchise since he's from Seattle. In the short term I wouldn't be happy about losing him, but he's getting up there and I don't know if he'll be worth his price by the end of his contract

    I really think the Caps will come to regret trading Vrana, it'll go down as our next Forsberg trade

    It is so unbelievably frustrating watching Vanecek in goal for the Caps, essentially resigned to assuming any high danger opportunity will result in a goal. No faith that he'll ever steal a goal from someone

    Nobody (2021)

    Yeah I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The bus fight was the best choreographed fight, but I didn't think the others were bad necessarily. I had no idea what this movie was going in and no expectations and I'd give it an 8/10

    Yeah this movie sucked, Marvel needs to get their shit together for X-men (or fox, or whoever currently controls the rights)

    Mortal Kombat (2021)

    I didn't think this was awful, but the actors were definitely wooden af. Cole was lame as hell. I think, as someone else said, this would've been better as a 10 episode show. There also needed to be a tournament ala bloodsport. If you view this solely as a setup to a series of movies, it's...

    With how terrible Holtby was the last 2 years it's incredible I'm pining for his level of poor play vs the total incompetence the Caps have in goal instead. The Caps window is going to close due to gross incompetence in goal, real shame. The gulf between the overall roster quality and the goal...

    Caps as a whole looked disinterested and lethargic, but Vanecek couldn't stop a beach ball tonight. Not sure I've seen the team give away so many passes in a long time, though

    I'm going to go crazy when Vrana lights it up the way Burakovsky has. He has so much potential on a team that takes advantage of his speed

    I hate this trade. Even if Mantha is a better player than Vrana at a potentially cheaper long term price, the Caps biggest issue is age. If we had traded Vrana, Panik and a 3rd for Mantha, maybe it would be more palatable to me, but losing a 1st is terrible. The team desperately needs an...

    I'm honestly about to break down and just buy that ROG prebuilt from Best Buy. I can actually pick it up on Saturday locally, it's $400 less than this Cyberpower build and has a 3080 instead of a 3060. Edit: Lol sold out in the time it took me to type this message, guess I keep waiting

    I know it's harsh to criticize him after he only gave up 1 goal tonight and he has played well in his last few outings, but Vanecek gives up too many rebounds for my liking

    Justice League (2017)

    I think this was a massive, massive improvement... that still doesn't really make a great movie. This is passable, like a 6/10; the theatrical release was just so awful and disjointed that this is a masterpiece by comparison. I'm not sure where the complaints about the audio come from though...

    They're playing better recently for sure, but I think most of our current run should be attributed to the success of Sheary, Sprong and some of the other less heralded guys. They've really been playing well in Wilson's absence, good problem to have trying to juggle productive guys once he's back

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    I would give it a 6/10, I would not buy it independently but it was decent enough to play through since it was on game pass. The main character is a real twat for at least 85% of the game though

    Missed the caps game, someone tell me if Samsonov is just the second coming of Holtby and his sub .900 save percentage. He looked bad in his first game, and I have no idea how the game went today but the stats are ugly
