    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    there's quite a gap between cheering and theater going dead silent, though. I remember most people digging Maul and the lightsaber fight at the end, with a good bit of excuses like "first movie just setting things up" for the rest. Jar Jar hate was pretty universal, although maybe not nearly...

    No I was more noting you can still have a good/great Infinity Saga without Warlock, especially when the character hasn't been established in the slightest yet, but the Mandarin fuck up was just terribad. The IM2/3 correction was just a "hey btw" note.

    Not a lot of Arya type characters in many shows/movies, though. Unless they're writing it specifically for her, which I find unlikely.

    These two things are not equal, though. Not even fucking close. Also the Mandarin rewrite/redo was IM3 not IM2.

    There is still a crazy scenario where if Pittsburgh loses out, they could miss the playoffs entirely. But it's basically the miracle scenario where everyone else wins out too almost.

    You forgot Tom Wilson locking up real estate in yet another team and fan base's head. "He won't fight real guys". Hilarious. The funny part is I still don't want him fighting b/c he's become too valuable out there to lose for 5 min in the box.

    Well division title is still up for grabs since Winnipeg managed to blow a 4-3 lead with 2 minutes to go to lose IN REGULATION 5-4 to the Isles. Pretty crazy feat, that. Columbus winning made things a lot tighter for you guys, that's for sure. Just not sure I trust Montreal at all, I mean if...

    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    Exactly. Tie game with 3-4 minutes to go and Brady getting the ball back...versus being able to run the clock down to under 20 seconds and kick a chip shot FG to go up 3 with the opposing team out of timeouts. Definitely would have helped your win chances in the Super Bowl, just not nearly as...

    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    The only reason I'm semi for it is because how much a bad PI call on the defense (or even unnecessary roughness/personal foul penalties) in final 2 minutes of a game or OT can affect the win chance outcome for both teams. UR/PF being 15 yards/automatic 1st downs and defensive PI being spot...

    Results tonight kind of separated East playoff stuff into 2 groups. Honestly top 3 seeds are virtually locked in for the Atlantic (in theory Toronto can catch Boston, but unlikely and all it does is swap who has home ice between them in Round 1 against one another), but now you have a group of...

    That's the problem with it...it's kind of being put in place to be the safety net for an obvious bad call (either call or non call). But there's so many PI decisions that come down to how much battling is going on between both players, and how the rest of the game has been officiated (or at...

    @Vandyn was a pretty good game. Refs kept whistles away for the most part though, crazy we didn't have one PK all game (although only b/c you guys scored on delayed penalty call). Canes are so good and limiting chances with hustle play and good stick positioning on defense. Thursday will be...

    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    PI calls/non calls, especially defensive ones, were shown to have the largest affect on chances to win the game when they did a study. Considering it's a spot foul or 1st and goal from the 1 if in the end zone it's much more damaging than a holding most of the time.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well of course had to get up to the clear spheres so you could replace every slot on the sphere grid with the maximum stat boosts. But throughout the normal game probably wasn't used as much and by then you have other favorites.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Problem with Kimhari was that for most of the game his section of the sphere grid never made him that great of a team member. Wasn't until you could branch out into someone else's section that you could start to beef him up into someone worthwhile.

    It actually feels like more of a consequence of Sansa's time with LF, how she didn't tell John about the Knights of the Vale, and rumored stuff early this coming season with her being unhappy Jon bends the knee to Dany. Sansa was also always on the outside looking in compared to the bond that...

    Sounds...feasible, although they had passed the point where the NFL thought they would win and have it dismissed so it clearly had more legal merit than they thought.

    Considering it was Vasilevsky's career high in saves I think it was slightly uncommon for you guys. Killorn's turnovers mirrored all the simple failed clears and turnovers we were giving up as well. Another goal deflected in off our own defenseman and Niskanen had a horrible failed clear on...

    If Caps play like that over a 7 game series...they could beat Tampa. Crazy pressure at 5 on 5 all night. Honestly there's so much talent on both teams it'll probably come down to who capitalizes on their chances/PP's, and if either goalie gets hot for multiple games. Tampa is just insanely...

    It would be great if we weren't giving up 1 goal a game to them directly in off a defenseman. Exciting hockey to watch though, Tampa's power play is just lethal.

    Us Caps fans know all about great regular seasons and President Trophies but no Cup. Obviously its still an accomplishment, but the fan bitterness definitely raises if a season like that doesn't lead to a Cup.
