    Agreed best shot is Europa. But if they win the derby against City, they go 2 points ahead of them, and being only 3 back of Liverpool with 2 games in hand makes it very doable. As tough as their run in is, Liverpool's struggles against teams in the bottom half of the table means their finish...

    So Tottenham to lose while Arsenal go through. Spurs always seem on the cusp without being able to get over the hump. Maybe the rematch with Chelsea coming up will let them get the ultimate revenge and help them to league title. Liverpool dropping all 3 points leaves a big opening for either...

    Yeah I don't see the point of building up all that fake tension between them when it's clear they're going to just resolve it and start working together. I just hope sitting through all the bs is worth it for a payoff at the end.

    Feel like Bruins just got screwed out of a goal in OT. Would be a little weird if Ottawa end up scoring now and ending the series.

    Justin Williams so clutch. It's weird for a series with 4 out of the 5 games going to overtime, 3 of them have been relatively short. The 3 that didn't go double OT all finished roughly 5 minutes into first extra period or earlier.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Yeah that's a nice haul. I'd figure even getting a 3rd + a 5th would be sweet.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Curious what the best compensatory pick haul in one year ever was. Pretty sure no team has ever come close to having four extra 3rd round compensatory picks. The picks are also ranked, since they are essentially added to the end of each round after teams' normal picks in rounds 3-7. But...

    Down big and at 3-2 goalie interference takes goal off the board and they get a penalty out of it where Pens score on following PP...yeah, I'd say that was huge. I think Columbus outplayed Pittsburgh possession wise for a lot of the series, but Pittsburgh with their shooting talent can be...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    That's pretty crazy division loaded final 6 games. Any other teams that loaded down the stretch? I thought the new thing was to play at least 2 division games early, and have 2 or 3 late as well (with 1 or 2 potential in the middle).

    It's definitely not great. But considering the West worked out basically perfectly with 2 divisional brackets...and the #1 and #2 team out west (by points) include a team that just got swept scoring only 3 goals all series, and the other which is in a 3-1 hole.

    He has a save % above .900 in only 6 appearances in 18 playoff games (not all starts). That includes a .902 and a .903 game, neither of which is great.

    Yeah it looks tough because they have to play their own division and NFC East...the two best divisions overall last year (at least as far as win-loss goes)

    Skins schedule is weird. Early bye, playing Dallas twice in the middle, hosting Giants on Thanksgiving night. Get to go see McVay in LA Week 2. Finish up against the Giants again. Need to see draft and how our D is going to look before I can even guess what we'll go this year.

    Wild trying to hang in, Flames look like they might be swept. Although that might be easier for them, given their crazy streak of X amount of years they haven't won a game in Anaheim.

    13th in PP opportunities. Despite being one of the top possession teams in the league. 5th in the league for most times short-handed. I'm not sure we've reached Pens status. As for this series, the Leafs have 1 more PP chance than we do so far. Ovie, backstrom and oshie were possessed...

    It's okay, yet another terrible playoff goalie interference call that goes against the Caps. Unreal while Andersen is holding Backstrom's leg, and he actually tries to move away out of the crease when the ref yells get out...then D man helps push him back in. Gotta keep it close we're in...

    Don't worry, we managed to take TWO stupid penalties in the last 7 seconds of the period to give an almost full 2 minutes of 5 on 3 to Leafs. I'm sure this won't go poorly for us... Although it would be nice if the refs did something about Leafs ability to somehow get 45 seconds of rest every...

    That weird moment when you're leading playoff goal scorers with 3 goals each are Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson. No really, Tom Wilson. Likely to never see that again.

    Your idea sounds far more plausible hahaha. I don't know if he actually did the drawings while up there though, seems like he did excursions to Mexico and other places in the years after to check stuff out. Possible he only wrote down coordinates. Still seems sketchy he'd take those trips to...

    Yeah I actually thought the scene where he sat down with a bunch of the old guys from the Mercury team was extremely cool. The space connection and diving is enough to keep me watching, but I'm just going to assume like Moog said it's at least all "dramatized".
