    The Pens comeback was all due to the leadership of Sid.

    Brosar just so we're clear, I wasn't commenting on whether them judging "intent" for themselves was silly for determining suspensions, only that they do in fact judge intent and take that into account when they are determining suspensions. Orpik hit is different, it's Orpik though so fuck...

    Brosar, you know they consider intent with regards to suspensions. Come on man, at least pretend like you follow hockey a little. Yes, there is no provision for a check to the head to get a major penalty or a game misconduct, but if the ref determines the player was deliberately targeting...

    But the only reason it was sort of from the front was because Backes turned at the last second. The intent was there. Also the principal point of contact was the head. I just point out the "left his feet" part because of so many mouth-breather Pens fans over the years that have claimed that...

    On the Backes hit, it was clearly a bad one, but is there any slow-mo shot that shows him actually leaving his feet? Remember if you don't leave your feet before contact it's not leaving your feet according to the rules.

    Looks like principal point of contact is the head. He also seemed to be going in for the kill before he knew Backes was ever even going to start turning around.

    Yeah I figured this was the case, but it almost seems like a change they might have considered anyways. Gives Bronn (who is awesome) more screen time.

    I thought it looked like the far right stone vanished after Olenna came up to talk to her but I'm not positive. Must re-watch.

    God damn they just hit the nail on the head with that scene. Interesting they changed it to Bronn who Jaime trains with.

    Meaning the big blockbusters like Cap and Avengers. I could see Guardians do in the Thor range. Using Hulk as an example is just bad, none of those were on par with Avengers or the new Cap movie. I completely agree it'll make 50+ easy, I'm just expecting somewhere in the 60-75m range...

    I just have doubts that the Hercules flick ends up being that big, Rock or no Rock. I do agree this won't be as big as other Marvel films though.

    The release of info that it'll be a lead in to Avengers 3 will help it at the box office for sure. I don't expect it to do 100 million opening, but 50 seems a low number given the juggernaut Marvel movies have become. 60-75 million seems reasonable.

    And...the Caps miss the playoffs. Honestly it'll probably be better for the organization long term. Oates and/or Mcphee need to go.

    SM2 was a great super-hero movie. Don't let the abortion that was 3 cloud judgement of the first 2. That said, the TDK is still better by a good bit.

    Our team is reduced to praying for a wild card spot staring down a daunting road trip through Cali coming up, all while hoping Halak can turn into himself from '10 or Cristobal Huet for the final 15 games of '08 season for us. Oates continues to fuck up our forward lines like he has all year...

    Which is funny because it followed an equally futile streak going the other way. I actually thought we outplayed you guys for stretches Monday night (definitely not Tuesday). Didn't help in the end. I miss when Mike Green only really sucked in the playoffs.

    The green house thing was a little out of place for it to be the missing piece, but breaks happen in cases all the time, I was fine with it. The whole story was about Marty and Rust, with the case just the vehicle to their journey and trials from how they were back then to how they are now...

    When did they not go around compiling information? Rust took all they had from the previous cases, and continued to follow the threads once he got back. They traced the lead on the man with the scars, figuring out the family connections along the way. A lot of people just got too caught up in...

    I just don't see it as going all in then, I see it as going all in when you save it until the final score...you're leaving yourself no other options. By going for it early you at least have time to try to overcome it if you fail. You're going to have to try it at some point, why not do it when...

    The only time it bothers me when coaches fail at math is when teams are in an obvious situation down 2+ scores and needing at least one 2 point conversion to force OT. Say you're down 35-20 with about 3 or 4 minutes to go without full compliment of timeouts, you drive quickly down the field and...
