    I would so love Tampa to fail again. Nothing to do with your pick hopes, just curious when Canada Golden Boy Stamkos would ever get criticized for his team not living up.

    91st Academy Awards - Hoping to be the most woke Academy Awards ever!

    Rami Malek wins Best Actor. I know he was winning at a lot of the other award circuit shows but I thought he might get passed over with some of the other heavy hitters in the category.

    Samuel L telling Spike Lee the Knicks finally won at MSG was amusing (while Spike obviously isn't there)

    This. Last Jedi failed for a whole lot of other reasons before any SJW concerns...and I know many people like me who refused to see Solo in theaters just because of how badly they fucked up TLJ.

    Had some weird deflections, but he did let in a few from pretty long range. Hopefully he gets it together, we're probably still going to need 5 starts or so from him down the stretch.

    Personally I think Marksman plays so much worse from Legion to now, and BM in BFA is...not exciting.

    Fucking wild game. Thought that OT could have been over either way a few times before it actually ended. Posts galore in the 3rd, too. They're giving Kuznetsov credit for the OT goal so Ovechkin didn't get one today.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I read some articles that basically had some people mathing it out as 2 daysish flight to Dragonstone to get the message across, then at worst 2 back (although that's assuming dragons fly only as fast as ravens do). Also they figured the time needed for the lake to refreeze/freeze up enough for...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Just feels like complaints about hand-waving from the show are coming from people who either didn't watch or didn't actually pay attention to basic plot points on the show and are the ones doing the only real hand-waving, making up some alternate show reality that never actually happened.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Why do I think ravens played a part in it? Jon literally says "Run back to Eastwatch, get a raven to Daenerys" when he sends Gendry back. Eastwatch was the only other manned fortress by the Night's Watch. When Gendry gets there, he literally says to Davos "We need to send a raven" and Davos...

    The point he made isn't really a full point though. Slow travel is important earlier in the series when war is actively going on and you're seeing places for the first time. Also things of importance happened on the way. At this point in the story, we've been waiting for ages for there to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Dom...he wouldn't have used any boats or horses after getting back to Eastwatch. They'd just send a raven. He didn't actually travel all the way back to Dragonstone. I guess I don't need to see scenes of the Hound being a humble carpenter building houses to the Seven. Ian Mcshane essentially...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't think they needed a scene to explain how Pod got to Dragonstone...since it was Gendry. As for the ships/horses, it's almost as if it took time for the Lannister army to raid Highgarden and drive their entire wagon train of gold/grain/food to King's Landing. Something that will travel...

    Perhaps if Dany had a cool catch phrase like "Roll Out" and 80's music existed in Westeros, it would make a little more sense to have the traveling montage. Or they could have had Tyrion explain the movements on their model map beforehand and assumed people had the barest bit of intelligence...

    it reads more like "amount of Residuum needed to not make it RNG is pretty crazy time gating". Also "forging is silly RNG shit." Both completely reasonable takes, imo.

    Could have used Jensen today. Although given the early start and trade just yesterday makes sense to let him watch a game. He'll be in tomorrow against the Rangers. Fun fact, Alex Ovechkin's next goal will make him the only player in history to have 10 seasons of 45 goals or more.

    This probably his main benefit outside the PK. Clean zone exits have been the Caps bane this year. So many turnovers that lead to scoring chances against when a clean zone exit will often be leading us on a rush the other way with potential for our own scoring chance. I actually wish I had...

    The point is he doesn't have to play 2nd pairing here. He can get easier minutes on the 3rd pairing and help on the PK some. 2nd next year is whatever really, shot to be something but not a great chance. Also unless we fall off a cliff it'll be a late 2nd anyways. A lot of Wings fans I was...

    Caps wheeling and dealing. Bowey and a 2020 2nd round pick for Jensen and a 5th this year. Then we go and sign Jensen to a 4 year, $10M extension ($2.5M cap hit). I like it overall, guy is probably good enough to be 2nd pairing but he can probably play behind Carlson and Niskanen on the right...

    Caps get Carl Hagelin for a 3rd and a conditional 6th. I like this move. His scoring numbers haven't been great lately, but he's turned it up in the playoffs before. Also he's mainly being brought in to add a little speed and responsibility defensively. Probably help out our Penalty Kill a...

    Amazing dive by Costa here. Honestly I don't even think it's a foul. He puts his hand on his shoulder for a brief instant, Costa is able to take another step with no issue, hand is already off by that time...then he just throws himself to ground.
