I know next to nothing about the character (and Iron Fist too), but I'm very much looking forward to it too. I was thinking about this on the drive into work this morning when I heard a brief mentioning of these movies on the radio and it really sums up the DC vs. Marvel movies perfectly. As the movies are about to come out, I want to like the DC ones, but I expect to like the Marvel ones. They've earned that with the solid work they've put out over and over. And speaking of the one thing that DC does do right, they're doing a one night only showing of the Killing Joke in theaters tonight. I may check that one out. It's going to be a chance to hear Mark Hamill have a hell of a lot of fun with a twisted storyline.

That was you?

All I can think visually when I see that Strange trailer is Inception.

Do they have a timeline for the Netflix shows? I know it's much further down the road, but I can't wait until they start up the Punisher.

I was wondering what they'd do for a trailer given that they can't really show any of the eight or so on their knees. So basically, that entire trailer boiled down to one thing, Shiva.

I thought I was the only one who was annoyed when people add an s to a word like anyway.

So basically what you're trying to say is that if the situation had been completely different, it may have ended differently?

I wish they'd just make new characters instead of recasting old ones.

Why were you there multiple times, parents not telling you something?

I'll be sure to evaluate the toilet seats to see if the are ball-safe.

I'm not going to rant about that movie. I'm just not interested in it and won't see it. I'm sure I'll each it someday when it is on free tv, but that's it. Star Trek will probably be the only one I see this month. I'm kind of curious to see how much of a role Chekov has, because I can't really remember a single scene with hm n the last one. I wonder if they just leave out the character in the future instead of recasting

I will be in Ogunquit this weekend, renting a beach house for a week with in-laws (shoot me). I'll chime in with some thoughts when I have free time.

Well this one got ugly fast

It almost feels like it could be an AHL move, a bit of a head scratcher. Do they really go with Ulmark and Kasdorf in Rochester or do they let on start in the ECHL?

Do they really have a different helmet for each jersey? That seems a bit overboard to me. If I had my choice, I'd drop the black uniforms all together and stick with the helmet with the letters on it.

The extra pick or two they could have added in the deal sure would have helped with that roster re-balance though. If nothing else, it could have been trade fodder in their search for another defenseman.

Toy Story 4? Why can't they just leave it where they did? That would be a great ending to the whole series.

And the coach will be fired long before Subban gets to the end of his contract. Hell, I think they'll still be paying Weber after half their current players are retired.

I understand that Montreal had some cap issues with Subban's contract, but exchanging that for a little over $1 million in savings but taking on that 85 year contract that Weber has doesn't make much sense to me.

I know they're starting to throw around the tag of "one for one deal", but there has to be something more going to Edmonton. This one would be the real life version of the "Crosby for Hodgson" rumors that young fans like think are possible. I know Larsson was very highly regarded coming into his draft, but he hasn't come close to living up to it yet. I can just picture Shero throwing that offer out there as a conversation starter and then dropping the phone when Chiarelli accepted it. TSN has a breaking news story at the top of their website saying that Stamkos is staying with Tampa.

Associates?

It's not so much that they stay over there after being drafted. The more common occurrence is them playing for a few years and then heading back. It might not be very common, but it happens much more with them than with anyone else. What's Gordie going to do, head back to Saskatoon after his ELC expires?

I'm still trying to figure out why an anti-Russian bias would be a bad thing. The flight risk to the KHL is a very legitimate thing. It's always going to be risk/reward with those players. The reward of a proven NHL defender in Kulikov is far more worth it compared to a young prospect or draft eligible player who has proven nothing yet. Now if an Ovechkin level player is there at your draft slot, you sure as hell are taking that guy.

Strangely enough that pick is looking pretty good for Ottawa so far. White had a hell of a season at BC. But yeah, you don't think twice about that deal. No matter what he turns out to be it was still one huge crap shoot.

I'm really torn on the whole thing. I worry about those long term cap ramifications, but it sure would be a fun 2 years, seeing how the kids would play with someone like that on the roster. Still, I'd much rather the money went towards someone on the blue line and another secondary scorer. Good luck finding that defenseman though.
