    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Sorry first spoiler said Kronos, but there was "moon of" in there. The point remains though that they never discussed that event in this film, so not sure why the panties are in a bunch about some sort of continuity issue.

    Brosar, I hope the Hawks beat them in the Finals, if that match up comes to pass.

    Again...it wasn't Kronos that blew up, but the moon Praxis. Go watch VI again.

    I hate him, but he is a monster...no one who's objective denies he's the best player in the world.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I had images of the characters, but almost to the last one the show's actors have become the images I see when re-reading. Only one I'm not completely sold on as far as the "look" goes is Mance.

    Those are the type of plays when it shouldn't be a penalty...a rolling puck, might have even tipped off Carter. Problem is if you turn it into a pure judgement call there will be fuck ups then as well. The AHL treats it as icing right? D zone draw but you can't change your players?

    They need to change the Delay of Game penalty in the offseason. Just completely decided the Sharks/Kings game.

    Dredd 2 (2027 for Sure This Time!)

    Would love to see a sequel. Dredd was a solid flick, good on return viewing as well. They really only scratched the surface for this version of that world too.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Great movie. Best of the year so far, the bar has been set in my mind. This is from someone who really liked Iron Man 3 quite a bit as well. They manage to give nods to the past while still doing things in a new way. They have places to go after this film too as well. I don't understand...

    It's definitely different watching this season one episode at a time versus watching all 20 episodes of the first 2 seasons in a couple days.

    Any thoughts of a "conspiracy" in my mind are simply ridiculous. I do think teams get reps with the officials, and it affects how their games are officiated, and the Caps don't have a great one...but it's on them to change that. It's not unfair to ask questions when a series seems so close on...

    I'm sure it's universal in our locker room, but he needs to just let it go. Yes, I think for the most part we got the short end of the stick on the calls for most of the series, but that doesn't matter. Our PK was great (and Rags' PP was bad)...just win anyways. You let them get in your head...

    Sitting through our Game 7 last night was soul crushing...but I don't think I'd even be a functioning human being if what happened to the Leafs happened to us last night. The only saving grace for Toronto was that it was on the road...and even that is zero consolation.

    Hey I expect you to hate us and root against us...although it's a little weird when it's against the Rags, but I can never tell some Pens fans hate us as much as we hate them, some hate the Flyers/Rags as much or more. Believe me, I've been watching since '87, the 90's and losing 6 of 7 series...

    It was rough. Stayed all the way through, never leave a game early. Congrats StoiC, Rangers deserved it. We had nothing for them tonight. Holtby had a rough night, not that it mattered when you get shut out back to back in Game 6 and 7. Lundy was great, although I don't feel like he had to...

    Funny enough, if tonight's games would have all gone the other way, I would have been right on 7 out of 8 1st round series, and nailed 5 of those 7 on predicting how many games each series went as well.

    Awesome for the Leafs to get their first home playoff win in 9 years or so...and good in the sense that if we pull out Game 7 at home tomorrow the winner of Leafs/B's won't get an extra day of rest. Tickets secured for tomorrow, so I'll miss the Leafs game, but at least I'll get to see whatever...

    Also, he gets a lot of love for the Game 5 OT winner, but it might help if Ribeiro didn't pass up every shooting opportunity from a dangerous area all game tomorrow night.

    Not even from beaten to a pulp though...look at our playoff history in the Ovechkin era. We eliminated the Rags in 5 games in 2010-11, then got swept by Tampa in 4 the same year. Other than that, 6 other series that have all gone 7 games. Just expect it.

    The one he got JUST enough of a piece of with the glove was a game saver. I know everyone likes to hate on him cause he's young, but his body of work speaks for itself...he can't add 10 years to his resume in one series. We need to find a way to not put it on his shoulders though...and worse...

    It would be nice to earn even 1 PP chance for us to try and "cash in". Our PK has been pretty good, but I thought the Rags actually had some better puck movement today than in Game 5 on the PP...still I understand the frustration when the PP comes up empty with that many chances all too...

    Hillen and Erskine have been brutal at making smart decisions to get pucks out of our end. 1st period we spent too much time in the box, but that period we just got flat outplayed. Holtby and a couple of great D plays by Alzner and Carlson are the only reason it's only 1-0...well that and...
