    Don't be too sad yet. 2 years ago San Jose was up 3-0 on the Kings in Round 1. We know how that ended. But this year's Sharks might be different.

    I thought that penalty was harsh. Morgan is wrapping him up, but he literally jumps and falls to ground to draw the call. No better than what Vardy saw red for (2nd yellow), even though defender was hauling back on his arm.

    Holtby pretty much "won" the game in the 1st period and in allowing nothing during the extended 5 on 3. Flyers were pretty dominant in the 1st overall. 2nd period was a little better, if weird with the Chimera goal and Orpik losing the puck between his own feet...but definitely more even. By...

    Mason...wow. I actually thought we got outplayed a little in the 1st, but PP working magic for once in the playoffs. Chimera will never score a weirder goal.

    Unreal. If this happened in Montreal or Toronto there would be fucking riots. They need to change the rule so your skate can be off the ice as long as your full body isn't across the blueline before the puck crosses it.

    I don't think it is either. Have had some debates about this recently, who the "favorite" is in the NFC East this year. There are some Skins fans who think we should be the favorite and a near lock to repeat. I'm not saying it can't happen, but I think they're nuts to say we're the favorite...

    Just for reference Cathan, his yards/game pace would not have broken Megatron's single season yardage record. It would have been nasty, don't get me wrong, but it wouldn't have broken the record. The guy is a monster when playing (although some of those numbers against Cincy and Pitt were in...

    Meanwhile Houston might actually have a QB, Jags will improve again, and Titans have a haul of picks to fill holes. Future doesn't look good for the Colts imo.

    There were plenty they let go on the Flyers after we got the double minor PP as well, though. Would prefer a little less ref involvement. Love how the refs give Simmonds a roughing to avoid having to call an instigator on him.

    I thought we've had pretty good zone time on all 3 (well, 2.1 with the goal) PP's. Plenty of chances, finally got a bounce. Haven't seen the Flyers establish much at 5 on 5 yet. Figure they'll have a push coming up in the 3rd.

    It helps when we had the draft we did last year. GMSM really seems to have us on the right track. Deazuel isn't wrong about us having a cush division, though. Like I said before last season started with our draft and Cousins starting, I felt like being around .500 was possible. I just didn't...

    Well...considering we got our potential QB later in that draft, it hurts a lot less. Not to mention even with RG3 at the helm, we got a playoff appearance and a division title (plus one since that as well)...while the Rams haven't even topped .500 in a season yet despite "transforming their...

    I mean, I still think we'll win the series, and make a deeper run. Doesn't mean we won't make it as tough on ourselves as possible, though. Rags are fucked if Lundqvist can't go. They're probably fucked even if he can go.

    I still feel like the Titans should have gotten a little more. Given what we gave up in 2012 to move up from #6 to #2 (essentially swapping picks in the 1st, but giving up a 2nd and two more 1sts), I figured going up from #15 to #1 would cost more than what the Rams are giving up (swapping...

    Would be curious to see the breakdown of which years they were in the positive and the negative. Lol @ including Boston, Cup was like 5 years ago. It also required the greatest goaltending in the playoffs and three Game 7's to happen.

    Don't disagree at all with this, but this isn't exactly a deep WR draft. Wouldn't be keen on taking a RB at #2 either.

    I actually think it would be smart to shore up their line. What's the point of taking "the guy" at QB if you can't protect him? Plus I'd get on Gordon's ass to stop smoking the shit for a bit (probably won't work though).

    I expect better overall results (I mean really, the bar is about as low as it could be to clear), but their QB situation has them backed into a corner. It's usually not a sure thing even picking ones at the top of the draft, and I could have sworn a couple of months before the season was over...

    "if" is funny. We're only 2 years removed from 2014 when they had picks #4 and #26. They trade down from #4 to #9 because Buffalo wanted to move up to take Watkins (gaining Buffalo's 2015 1st round pick, and a 2014 4th round pick in the process). Instead of taking OBJ or Aaron Donald at #9...

    Was it confirmed Smith was unarmed while he was shot in the back? If so, I'll keep waiting for the part of the story where that was necessary. Last I heard they found a gun in his car, not that he was threatening to shoot it. This story keeps unfolding like a bad episode from True Detective...
