    I mean I think it's fair for people to point out Klay getting hurt with ~14 minutes to go in the game and they're winning when he goes out might have had an effect on it. Even missing the rest of the game he was still leading scorer last night with 30 points. They win last night, it's a tie...

    Durability is a thing, but it's mostly an "achievement" in the longer view of a player's career. Tom Brady has been remarkably healthy for his career, but even he missed a season to a torn ACL b/c of one bad/unlucky hit. The play where Klay got hurt probably happens X amount of times all year...

    Can see why, settling for a 3 when driving the lane could get you to the line down only 1.

    I always liked that a lot of the backstory for Cetra/JENOVA stuff and Cloud/Zack/Sephiroth/Vincent story lines required you to check out hidden areas or dig into spots in areas you already visit. Maybe that's why a lot of people back in the day "didn't get" the story.

    Personally I main BRD, and I level a healer (its been WHM) after for easy hunt credit. Ended up leveling RDM and SAM to 70, but a lot of my other classes have been way behind, so I've been running a lot of potd to try and get them caught up. With the way Potd and HoH work, and being able to...

    Caps making moves already. Traded Niskanen to Philly for Gudas, with Flyers retaining 30% of Gudas' salary. Helps create a little more cap space for some of our free agent forwards, also Gudas is a free agent after this year, which is kind of a big deal because Niskanen had 2 more years left...

    That's just unfortunate. Leading scorer in the game tonight and didn't play a minute of the 4th or the last 2 and change of the 3rd about. I mean anything can happen but man that sucks for Klay.

    I think Thompson gets them to a Game 7 in this series. Also Leonard didn't even need Kyrie to beat the Warriors, pretty crazy for him.

    I'd like to see that 4th quarter with Thompson still around, but shit happens. Think they're still an all time great team. Why would you set up for a 3 on that play though, rather than look for a nice basket down low.

    I do get his point about PW, though. People would be turned off by what you needed to do to spawn him, and you'd have poor conductors with the entire train on west side when you literally could have had a couple dps spawn all of those by themselves with no further assistance needed while the...

    Not much happened in A1S, and having to spam just that fight over and over and over seems way worse to me than bunch of different NM's you cycle. But if you basically have decided it sucks, there isn't really going to be any convincing one way or the other. Just don't do it.

    Like I was trying to get across, it was an upset, but mostly based on past accomplishments/experience and not current play. Losing Kempny last couple weeks of regular season was huge blow. I think it's a little amusing still we're framing it in a "no way the Caps could lose a Game 7 on home...

    You're saying "this summer" but basing it on what happened in this year's playoffs, and stating that this year's playoffs were a "anything can happen" as if we had just result after result that was super surprising/out of left field. Sure, we'll pick favorites come October depending on who...

    Picking in October didn't really come through in your original post that I replied to. It also isn't really relevant to who I would pick come playoff time. Blues were last place in the league in January, and we saw what they did even making the playoffs. It's not like a team getting really...

    It's only "huge" because we were the defending champs. You're talking a difference of only 5 standings points 104 versus 99 in the regular season. That's virtually nothing....AND it took double OT in Game 7 that we had leads of 2-0 and 3-1 in but our goalie shit the bed. That's nothing...

    Obviously you need the goaltending to be there, but Blues actually have a pretty talented Roster, they have studs on the backend, and getting ROR really shored them up down the middle. I'm not sure there was that much unpredictability other than Tampa getting swept really.
