Yea although in this instance Haula can actually play and score goals. Plus he's still young.

Blackhawks get defensive help with Calvin de Haan trade, Hurricanes clear money for free agent splash I'll be curious to see what the next step is here for the Canes. If they don't use the cap clearing space for a big decent piece then it's a pretty lopsided trade.

For all the great scenes in the series (there are many), the best is in the last episode with the trial. How they methodically explain (and then show) every event that leads up to the explosion. That's how you're supposed to wrap up a story and it was filmed near perfection for this...

I still haven't figured out the point of this from a Canes perspective. From what I've read, it doesn't look like Marleau is ever going to play in Carolina. This was just an attempt to buy another pick by doing the Leafs a solid and allowing them to clear some cap space. A team that they are...

This Side-By-Side Comparison Of 'Chernobyl' Scenes And Real Footage Shows Just How Right HBO Got It

You must not be remembering very good because I distinctly remember people (mostly women) getting bent out of shape due to the way the EQ female models showed cleavage and this is circa 1999-2000 graphics. Maybe the noise wasn't as loud as it is now but it still existed. I also remember the...

I can't really figure out Columbus/Tampa. Perhaps it has more to do with mental than actual skill in that series. Game 1 Tampa goes up quickly 3-0 and you're thinking (plus everyone on that team I assume) ok, we're just going to cruise through this. Then Columbus comes back and actually wins...

Unreal how close the show tried to recreate actual scenes.

As the resident Canes fan, I can say from a local perspective the fan sentiment was that we were glad to just make the playoffs and anything after that was gravy. I personally thought the Caps were the worst matchup compared to the other two possibles (Pens/Isles). So despite the points at the...

Basically from what I understand, the reactor was put in an unstable state before the test was even started. If the test never happens, it's quite possible the reactor is able to recover and there is no accident (at least not on the level of what happened). The test just made the situation...

I got a sense the judge wasn't that high up there when Boris stood up and told him to let Legasov finish his testimony. He then looked at Roose who nodded approval.

Finally was able to watch the last episode last night. Amazing, really like how through testimony they walk you through step by step on how something like this can happen. I can only imagine the horror of that one engineer when he looks down at the reactor plate and sees all the rods going up...

Yea being a pet owner it's tough watching it but I get why the scenes are there. It's supposed to have impact. The hardest scene was probably when the young guy shoots the one dog just sitting there but then it doesn't kill him and you see it just bleeding and dying. That's rough, even my dog...

The other thing that has caused great interest in the accident was the effects of it years later. There are not a whole lot of places on the earth where a fairly decent sized area was suddenly forced to completely evacuate and has (mostly) stayed that way 30+ years later. It's a case study on...

From what I've read most of the stuff that has happened in the HBO show really did happen. There are scenes for dramatization (like probably the conversation towards the end of last episode where they are talking about how the accident actually happened) but the events are all real.

Actual cleanup photo, streaks at the bottom was radiation affecting the film.

Pretty rough episode. I understand why they are out there shooting the dogs but it doesn't make it easy watching it. That 90 second single shot on the roof was award level stuff, no dialogue just the geiger counter. I had wondered how the firefighter's wife was able to survive, baby absorbing...

I think what surprises me the most is the guys that went in the water at the end of the 2nd episode are still alive.

There was even a movie based off this incident which wasn't that bad. K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) - IMDb

Good post but wanted to highlight this part. As others have said I'm not sure so sure the lack of awareness was intentional. A lot of them really couldn't comprehend the scope of the accident at first. The ones the eventually realized that the place was a tomb but forged on to manually insert...

Didn't see a thread on this. GOG GALAXY 2.0 - All your games and friends in one place. It's pretty ambitious. Will allow you to organize games across all platforms (including console) with cross-platform chat and friends lists. From what I understand it will basically launch games from...

Yea another good episode. Was any of the guys in the hospital the head guy? The makeup is so spot on it's hard to tell who is who. The scene where she's interviewing that one guy and his nose just starts bleeding and you're thinking 'this guy isn't even human anymore'. Another reality of the...

I dunno there is still quality content on HBO like Chernobyl and Barry and the wife like Big Little Lies. I'll be interested to see how Watchmen and His Dark Materials turns out.

You guys are forgetting the little face to face Jon has with Drogon before he goes inside to do the deed. I bet he said 'hey dude, I'm going to kill her, that cool with you?". Drogon was probably like 'you do you fam'.

You can play the 'what if jon wasn't rezzed' game and the number of possibilities are endless. If he stays dead, not only is he not there to rally Dany to join the fight but the expedition beyond the wall (with Jon/Beric/Hound/Jorah/Tormund) never happens. Which means Dany never journeys...

I'm actually not that bothered by this. In a lot of ways the story has always been about the journey of the Stark children.

As has been mentioned already, I'd probably be more forgiving of the ending if the road to get there wasn't so condensed. They never fully fleshed out these storylines the past 2 seasons so what you're left with are scenes in the finale that have zero weight to them (even Dany's death) because...

Was a great run, Canes just A) ran into a team that's playing better than anyone at this point and B) ran out of gas physically and (more) mentally. They played their best game in G3 and still lost which is just mentally draining. You're also not going to win anything if you can't score power...

I actually live within 10 miles of a nuclear plant and although the prospect of an accident on the scale of Chernobyl is extremely remote, that little sliver of possibility makes you think sometimes. There are things like evacuation zones based on where you live but my thought is if there every...

That hotel room scene where he's explaining that most people in Pripyat are going to wind up with cancer and may die was something else. The head guy then says something like 'yea but we are here now' and he responds 'we're going to be dead in 5 years' and there's just this dead silence for...

Yea I thought it was another strong episode. Gorbechev comes off as somewhat understanding of the gravity of the accident. I wonder if he was consulted for this show. The scene at the end was rough but I thought the hospital scenes captured the chaos and confusion of what was going on. It's...

I actually thought the episode was decent for this season. Not a high bar, I get it. Cleganebowl was shot very well (the shot of both of them on the stairs while Drogon flies overhead is a great shot). I've always thought Dany had a evil streak inside of her (she literally allowed Khal Drogo...

That was a really frustrating game to watch. The Canes were dominating that game through the 2nd period and then get sloppy in the third. Dumbass mistakes and bullshit officiating and the game flips in a minute. The Staal penalty which led to the tying goal was such a bad penalty, he should...

Based on the 1st episode it does try to humanize some of the low level engineers. The head engineer guy does not come off as sympathetic at all.

The part towards the end where they send the guy to the roof to inspect the core, that look in the engineer's eyes like he knows he's being sent to his death is chilling. Looking forward to ep2. I read a lot about this event and this idea that certain engineers truly believed that the...

Saw the first episode of this last night. Pretty good. Pretty amazing how due to the Soviet apparatus at the time the engineers didn't fully understand (or didn't want to believe) the full scope of the accident in the immediate aftermath.

Canes are going to be underdogs in this series and I'm fine with it. They've been underdogs this entire run and it's worked out so far. Sounds like Mrazek (and Ferland) will be back for G1.

With the begging scene, at least they somewhat build up that Dany's weakness is Jon so it's not completely crazy she would be begging him (it affects her relationship to him and her crown). Brienne begging Jaime though was something else. We have never, ever seen Brienne act that way. Yea we...

I still think the biggest thing that pissed me off about the episode was Ghost. The wolf was the most loyal of them all and basically almost died in the Dothraki charge and Jon just walks away and doesn't even give him a proper goodbye. It's also jarring how for 8 years there has been this...

How bout those Jerks. Canes twitter has been on point all season. The best part at the end (which the clip really doesn't show) is when Nelson looks back at Dougie Hamilton like he's in the twilight zone. I got to admit, if you would of told me the Canes are going to defeat the defending...
