One thing...how fucking short was that episode? Must have only clocked in at 53 minutes or so? They could have had her go nuts before going out.

That can kick off next week.

It did exactly what it was supposed to. The texts and posts from friends are already amazing hahahahahaha

Oh wtf, she didn't claw her own face half off...still I'm not going to complain, that was fucking epic

From non spoiler thread...it has begun

Oh this is perfect so far

This is starting off well to not spoil it. I like.

Doughty down too now? That could hurt.

I've read the books, I don't need spoilers. You might be right on the hockey spoiler.

Nobody said he was Jennings worthy. Damnit I want to watch this game but I must watch GoT.

I wish I was watching with certain friends tonight, so I could be like...

Which is why I gave Cooke a level all his own

They weren't even really a 2-14 team the year before, lost some close games and just had some Curtis Painter problems. On the flip side, last year they got pretty lucky to win some of the games they did against something like the 3rd easiest schedule in the league. I do think they asked a lot...

The best part is how excited non book reader friends are about tonight's episode after having to wait 2 weeks. I cannot wait.

I mean, Cooke is Cooke, but it's not like Marchand has a great reputation either.

That still looks pretty damning...need to watch a highlight to see full context though.

Hopefully not too many suffocated on the trip over

Was there a reason the girls were all Ukrainian?

Indeed. Spent all day at a bbq today so I missed both games (they wanted to watch the Orioles get smoked). I assume Chicago dictated a lot of the play and Quick kept it close...while Boston's physical play got the Pens off their games? (just guessing from comments on here)

Brutal bro, brutal...and here I was going to say any night the Pens lose is a good night.

Silly right? You'd hope he doesn't get assigned to any of the games in Chicago.

What if Geno scores more than Sid? They might think of him for his 2nd first then.

I'd say Vokoun might get consideration for "savior" status after Fleury fell on his face again...but lets face it, he's never going to be thought of as carrying the team to the Finals. Don't think Rask would have a shot either unless he did something outrageous rest of the way.

Sharp has had a good playoffs though, and really they're only half over...Toews or Kane could easily have a big series or two and push their point totals up. I agree though that there isn't a true front runner for the Hawks right now that lets Crawford's name be up for discussion, but I don't...

It was a total hypothetical, but you make a good point, I can't see any goalie completely shutting down the Pens offense. Maybe Quick. In which case a bunch of writers will arbitrarily decide he should get a trophy.

For serious discussion on this, I have to wonder if if having Toews as a former winner and Kane (always going to be looked at as a candidate) on the same team might hurt Crawford's chances of winning a Conn Smythe even if they win it. Patrick Sharp has been quite good this year too as a...

Calm your jimmies, that distinction doesn't need to be made here because there is no unofficial Jay Cutler trophy for the player judged to be most valuable to a team that is not his own in the NHL playoffs.

With you predicting it, the universe might just be fucked up enough to have that miracle happen. What's more likely is that we'll overachieve in the regular season (relative to expectations), then take a 2-0 or 3-1 series lead against someone in the playoffs, only to lose a Game 7 on home ice...

Not as good, moving out of the Southeast. I think we'll still sneak in, given another full year in Oates' system, but we have some cap issues that might force us to let Ribeiro walk for nothing.

We have to have something to talk about, still have to wait another day for games.

Poking fun at your belief that the Jennings is a bigger accomplishment than the Conn Smythe isn't being butthurt...it's being entertained. In other Blackhawks news, ref Stephen Walkom (the one who waved off the possible winning goal in Game 7) may end up working Hawks-Kings games. I guess...

I'm just trying to match your original effort here. Quick's team gives up a few too many goals in the regular season, and Toews picked the wrong position to play. They just have to settle for their Conn Smythe trophies knowing they'll never reach the pinnacle.

Which is why the sub-story of the WCF will be Quick and Toews wishing they could trade trophies with Emery and Crawford.

He'll somehow end up in Dallas. Simply for the entertainment value for the rest of us.

It's not easy at all, that wasn't my point. They found a way to get a huge 14 point swing just before halftime, and Ben made an incredible throw on the final drive. Big plays/turnovers can turn games, and ~100 yard pick 6 was one of the biggest plays in SB history.

Although for the 4th year in a row, a Jennings winner will not win the Vezina.

...and if the President's trophy was awarded to a single position for a team accomplishment. But it's not. Comparing the Jennings to the Conn Smythe is laughable.

Not like Parker was some super weapon with his 71.9 average YPG that season. Steelers were 23rd in rushing that year. Your defense making a huge play and Ben making his first TD pass at the very end of his 2nd Super Bowl won the Steelers that ring.

So do you think the President's Trophy is more impressive than the Stanley Cup?

I mean, we could use his regular season numbers when he was coming off back surgery. Or we could look at what he did last year in the playoffs...
