    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I saw it as a way to sort of replace Cat clawing her own face to shreds, although I don't get the idea that her doing that would have been "too much" for HBO but stabbing a pregnant woman about 5 times in the stomach is okay.

    It would be great to see him climb back over the glass to go argue with the refs in the huddle until they agreed he did not in fact clip the boards/glass.

    Since Chara was inside the blue line, this should be a special case for delay of game.

    I thought it was all right. Slightly different from the book as noted earlier in the thread, but it seemed to have enough flair for me.

    There's...a bit of time in between the two shots where they're above the goal line in one, and below it in the other. Also this isn't a case of the defender already being right on the puck and turning his back, looks like he still has to go actually retrieve it. Makes it look like Cooke had...

    When we're all waiting in the black hole that will be the time before Season 4 (in which time we know Winds of Winter won't be out yet)...we'll just have to remember tonight and it'll get us through.

    It's good enough to just keep posting. I love the "aren't they supposed to be the good guys" shit. The phone call I got just made it all worth it...buddy had to console his wife she was crying her eyes out and claiming she was never watching the show again. Literally heard her in the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    For not being completely perfect, it still conveyed everything it needed to. Agree on the womb stabbing, that shit was brutal. I can't imagine the face scratching would have been considered worse than what the womb stabbing looked like. Even expecting it I cringed a little there.

    One thing...how fucking short was that episode? Must have only clocked in at 53 minutes or so? They could have had her go nuts before going out.

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    They weren't even really a 2-14 team the year before, lost some close games and just had some Curtis Painter problems. On the flip side, last year they got pretty lucky to win some of the games they did against something like the 3rd easiest schedule in the league. I do think they asked a lot...

    I mean, Cooke is Cooke, but it's not like Marchand has a great reputation either.

    Indeed. Spent all day at a bbq today so I missed both games (they wanted to watch the Orioles get smoked). I assume Chicago dictated a lot of the play and Quick kept it close...while Boston's physical play got the Pens off their games? (just guessing from comments on here)

    What if Geno scores more than Sid? They might think of him for his 2nd first then.

    I'd say Vokoun might get consideration for "savior" status after Fleury fell on his face again...but lets face it, he's never going to be thought of as carrying the team to the Finals. Don't think Rask would have a shot either unless he did something outrageous rest of the way.

    Sharp has had a good playoffs though, and really they're only half over...Toews or Kane could easily have a big series or two and push their point totals up. I agree though that there isn't a true front runner for the Hawks right now that lets Crawford's name be up for discussion, but I don't...

    It was a total hypothetical, but you make a good point, I can't see any goalie completely shutting down the Pens offense. Maybe Quick. In which case a bunch of writers will arbitrarily decide he should get a trophy.

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    For serious discussion on this, I have to wonder if if having Toews as a former winner and Kane (always going to be looked at as a candidate) on the same team might hurt Crawford's chances of winning a Conn Smythe even if they win it. Patrick Sharp has been quite good this year too as a...

    Calm your jimmies, that distinction doesn't need to be made here because there is no unofficial Jay Cutler trophy for the player judged to be most valuable to a team that is not his own in the NHL playoffs.

    With you predicting it, the universe might just be fucked up enough to have that miracle happen. What's more likely is that we'll overachieve in the regular season (relative to expectations), then take a 2-0 or 3-1 series lead against someone in the playoffs, only to lose a Game 7 on home ice...
