    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I wouldn't even say they did a 180 on it, because a lot of the "180" feel is stuff that was clearly there in the original. Daniel was kind of a whiny bitch even then, Johnny DID congratulate him and hand him the trophy when it was over. I think they did a great job with the societal changes...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I think I was just a bit older when I went back and played IX, because playing the remaster of X I just can't rank IX anywhere close to X. Combat system blows it out of the water, story is far better imo, and every time I play IX the character design and what not just comes off as very kid...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I feel like at best, JJ could try and retcon/pull together somehow some of the threads that Last Jedi had already ripped apart, and if he even manages to get a cohesive story out of it, I can respect the effort...but there's zero chance to pull an actual good movie out of it all, let alone...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Literally the worst shit ever. Saw some early reviews (non spoiler) come in from the world premiere. Some doing the usual "SO GREAT! You will cry!", others clearly sticking to safe language of "BIG movie, huge plot could have been several movies in one!" without really saying how shit it was...

    I'm biased as fuck, but to me intentional elbows like that are still less of a hockey play than anything Tom Wilson has been suspended for. Also that's ridiculous that Lemieux got 2 for that love tap. They let waaaaay worse than that go in front of the net.

    Not often you see Ovechkin get nada with 9 shots. He did hit the crossbar, but was as close as he got.

    He's probably going to get north of $8M a year, maybe even 9+. I agree he had a down year during the regular season when we won the Cup, but deserved to go back in after how Grubauer looked first 2 games of that playoffs. His start this year was horrible first 5 games, but since then last 19...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    This of course, ignores the version where they get stopped on 4th, leaving them only up by 2 and forcing their D to then prevent the Falcons from even getting into FG range versus only having to prevent a TD if they successfully kick a field goal. Although frankly, I still probably would have...

    Don't get how Steelers have Conner off the field in crunch time to turn 1st and 10 into 3rd and 20 before they put him back on the field. Four down territory with more than enough time I'd be eating up whatever yards I can on check downs early downs to make 3rd/4th easier.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I agree that Naz and Mech were better than Argus zones, overall. Class Order Halls did seem to bring a lot more content to do on alts and stuff rather than island expeditions/battlefronts/whatever

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Obviously not good, but a simple reffing mistake and a chip shot field goal that a great winston throw put the team into position for. You take the turnovers with all the points he puts up. Those two simple things he had no control over and they're the difference between 7-7 and 9-5.

    Don't even need to cut down Winston stuff, the missed FG against Giants and the early whistle on the fumble recovery for a TD against I don't know who and they're 9-5.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    What do you mean? This was perfect in the long run. Offense shows some positives, Josh Norman of course gives up the game losing TD, and draft position secured with Giants victory today. Think we move up to #2?

    He's been groomed to be "the guy" since we took him in round 1 years back. I wish Holtby's contract had 1 more year on it to get him more than just this season in the league before he might have to fully take over, but in a backup role, at least, he's looked like the real deal.

    Can't lay it all on him. Got outshot for the game, and only had 11-9 edge in shots on goal in the 2nd period despite 4 PP's to zero in that period (and 3 of them went the full 2 minutes).

    Losing Holtby to free agency will suck after this year, but Samsonov is making me feel about as good as possible about the idea of us managing to not fall off a cliff without Holtby in net so far.

    That usually was a playoff thing, anyways. And even there, Holtby has been in the Bruins' heads since maybe his best ever series in 2012 (overall series, as it's hard to beat shutting out Lightning in Game 6 and 7 back to back).

    Must be a lost in text thing, "I'll take the win" hardly some fist pumping king of the world lap. It's a regular season game, against the Bruins who we always beat, nothing to see here, save for the 2nd Oshie goal.

    Hilarious if we had managed to beat the Packers yesterday we'd still have a playoff scenario at this rate, because neither Dallas nor Philly can win a game. hope we continue to lose though maybe Giants can pick up another win and we can get back up to #2 pick.

    Missed field goals are the main reason they aren't still in division hunt. Should have swept Seattle but Zeurlein choked a fairly easy kick to win the game. Also missed a long one against the Steelers that could have had them within another kick of winning the game and they turned ball over on...

    Honestly if they'd been able to beat the steelers last week they'd be one game back of Titans for last spot. We all knew back end of their schedule was week, that's why they've won 4 of their last 5.
