    I get book people being butthurt over Hotah, but Barristan at least mowed down ~10 guys before buying it. Hotah getting offed with a knife in the back from a 15 year old is not the same at all.

    Right, but training for what? Training for Nate at 170 is not at all the same as needing to cut to 145 to try to fight Aldo or Frankie (when we're talking about the scenario where one of those guys gets hurt)

    Feast or famine so far. Nailed Caps and Pens, Tampa needed only one line to beat Detroit, and Tavares (and some OT luck) carried the Isles. Nailed the Blues, but Kings got smoked. Stars took one extra game, and same could be true of Anaheim if they get it done in Game 7 (although Boudreau in...

    I mean...you remember that chart I posted? Kind of funny for NYR fans to be singing that tune. Rags just keep their feet moving more. Blues are winning this.

    Shit, there doesn't need to be tinfoil on to expect bad reffing. That's pretty much the standard. Maybe I shouldn't say all around bad, just completely not consistent. It'll be both ways too, just like it was for us and the Flyers. Btw, laughable that it took 6 games of Schenn jumping into...

    Interesting to read how many people are saying we struggled against the Flyers, when in reality we dominated most of that series and it required a miracle in goal to extend it to 6. Flyers also much tougher Round 1 match up than the Rags with how each was playing in the 2nd half of the season...

    This gripe I can understand, the hour seemed to fly by. Might work better if they focused on only half the stories an episode so you'd get twice as much substance. Then just alternate which half of stories is getting a look every other episode. Sometimes feels like you're just getting fed...

    Would have to rewatch that episode to see the tone of her surprise, I always assumed Thoros was kind of the laughing stock drunkard of the religion, so the fact he was showing a power that I would assume be pretty damn strong would be surprising as fuck, but I can't remember exactly how she...

    Isles get over the hump. Tavares was HUGE. 2nd round in the East is going to be pretty damn good. Caps/Pens, Bolts/Isles.

    I'm annoyed they got such a well known actor to play such a token role (although obviously we all expected it to have more meat than this). But overall I didn't like the change to the Dorne story to begin with. If this speeds shit along, I'm all for it.

    We're going to need more from the 2nd line (Kuznetsov's) to have a shot against the Pens. Our #1 line carried most of the scoring in this series.

    Whoa, who has actually said they're better than Winston/Mariota? Also people need to qualify their "ranked highly" statements on these two. It's one thing to say Goff was rated as a top 10 pick, it's quite another for Goff/Wentz to be locks for #1 and #2, with TWO teams trading hauls of...

    But there's a difference between being projected high and being "franchise QB" material. There's QB desperate teams every year, and whoever the top one is, they're going to go relatively high. These aren't RB's we're talking about. Everything I heard through the end of the regular season was...

    Except I was never defending this move. From the start I was looking at the $50M guaranteed like it was the worst thing I ever ate in my life. I'm not going to sit here and say it's not a massive upgrade to our secondary this year, but realistically there's almost no way he exceeds this deal...

    Elurin, Convo just wants someone else on his "this move was a GREAT move, you'll see!" train. For me, Norman will have to play top 5 in the league level for at least 4 of those years to justify this. Just worried what this contract will keep us from being able to do next offseason.

    Eh, we beat Halak last year in Game 7. Neuvirth looks like he's ready to crack. Philly didn't even have a single shot attempt in the final 10:11 of the 2nd. No way he can keep this up for another period if we put that much pressure on again...let alone 2 more games.

    Problem is we're going to need to give new deals next year to Reed, Cousins (almost assuredly, as tag a 2nd year in a row the cap number would be insane), and Baker. Now we will have Jackson and Garcon coming off the books though, so that would help.
