    Although I'd love to see more angles of the Boyle hit right before he scored. Looked pretty high.

    They clarified last night that it wasn't .8, that it was .6. Didn't they? Either way, we're talking a fraction of a second, so I wasn't that freaked out by how late it was. Orpik's was clearly later. Like I said, Letang's hit still felt like a hockey play. I'd need a slow mo to see his...

    1 game. I feel like if Johannson hadn't been able to return to the game it would be 2, but he passed the concussion protocol. Neck bothering him though and didn't skate today.

    I would say more it wasn't that late, but technically it was. Jumping into it makes me think he was targeting the head more. I'm in the 1-2 game range. Letang has been his usual shit stain self, and it's amusing how angry he gets when it gets tossed back at him. Agreed on Orpik, although...

    Think it's funny no comment on Kunitz being the normal shitstain he is with that chop with the stick blade right into Williams stomach last night. Looked like he was trying to stab him with the stick blade.

    Letang hearing. Guessing 1 or 2 games. Which would be about right. Just like Orpik getting 3 was right imo.

    Famm. Mcshay's best picks for all 32 teams (Insider article though $$) But the relevant part. Now...yeah, 4th round. I'm not sure how many times a team has had FIVE 4th round picks in one draft before. Still, Ozzie always smashing Day 3 of the draft.

    I guess we'll get to see how many games Letang gets. Although we all know the result of the hit (read: injury or not) factors into it. Mojo being able to come back means Letang probably gets 1 game tops. Tonight felt like Game 5 against the Flyers, except we didn't get shut out. You...

    Right but I read it as "at this point, would it be a bigger miracle for which team". 8 points clear with 2 games remaining for them and 3 for Spurs, it's gotta be Spurs. If Spurs even draw at Chelsea today, Leicester wins the title without even stepping on the field again.

    Gotta be Spurs at this point. They have to win out, even drawing any of their final 3 games and title is Leicester's. Plus they need Leicester to go 1 loss and 1 draw at best.

    I will say I heard some impressive stats on that kicker, and they showed a ton of video of him drilling 50+ kicks with room to spare. Kicking always seems hit or miss in college, even for the elite programs at times. Kid never missed an extra point or a field goal under 40 yards in his college...

    All DOPS is a joke. I thought he'd get 2, but as long as they are CONSISTENT (lol), 3 games is fine for a shitty hit like that, and that's how they need to punish it to reduce those from happening (as much as they can).

    Wasn't making this argument, only noting that for all the venom directed his way, he hasn't ever been suspended before. Although I guess the league does look at it as far as "repeat offender" goes.

    This is funny because I felt like he really did well with all those 4th round picks he had. Lot of names I was thinking would be in our ballpark (although we traded out of the 4th) that Ozzie snatched up off the board. Colts kept taking guys I wanted a couple picks before us each round too...

    Malkin's been doing his usual shit behind the play too, but agreed on Orpik's hit just being all bad. I know he plays physical, but that was just not what you want to see out of him last night. We looked like shit the first two periods, I don't know if it was killing so many penalties or...

    It's not borderline, it was a bad hit. Puck was long gone too. And while in Wilson's case, I certainly didn't think he was intending to go knee to knee, Orpik's forearm goes straight for the head it seemed like there. Orpik will get a game or two for sure (and deserves it). Hits like that...

    I love that he gets so much hate. Like any other guy that does his job, his physicality crosses the line sometimes. Never been suspended in his career. This was a bad play/hit. Late, and knee on knee. Don't want to see him do this anymore. As for the rest, play the exact same way...

    RB in top 5, redshirt in Rd 2 (who might not ever play again). #JustJerrahThings Fuck me though on Cravens, seemed like every guy I liked came off the board before we picked. Robinson, Reed, Martin. Supposedly Skins see him as a Dime LB. Not sure if I like burning a 2nd on a 3rd down...

    Don't love taking a receiver at 21, but still some great D line on the board. Should be able to get one in Rd 2. Doctson seems to fit GMSM's mold too, and with Garcon and Jackson probably both gone after this next year, not a bad thing to let him learn for a year and take over going into...

    Only people overrating the Skins are some strange people in this thread. I'm sure no real Skins fans have forgotten the last time we went from a last place schedule to a first place one (hint: 3-13). 8-8 would be a very good season for us.

    I think it's clear the Eagles are the favorites in the NFC East. Likely for 10+ wins. Giants probably around 7 or 8. Skins and Cowboys fans hoping to hit 6 wins this year. It is known. If you're Convo.

    It makes sense to do this for plot lines and characters that matter, which Dorne and Doran/Hotah clearly do not (in the show at least, although given what changes they are making based on knowing the end game, one could assume they likely amount to little in the book as well). For instance, the...

    Probably not to the same detail, but pretty sure most people knew why Oberyn was pissed...before and during the fight. People were pissed when he died (show watchers I mean), yet another in the long line of people that were set up to finally give the Lannister's their due.

    Right, which is why from a pure show perspective, nothing wrong with it other than it being a very hasty plot they are shedding/changing. I get why book people might be annoyed, but they should have expected more big changes. I kind of got tired of all the "this guy is a badass" power level...
