When I said I wanted to see a few close losses and OTLs instead of regular losses, I didn't mean that they had to do nothing but that.

And they'll just move on from one character to the next after this. Just wait until they realize that Harry Shearer voices Dr. Hibbert even though he's not black. And on top of that, he's modeled after Cliff Huxtable, so look out. Bart is voiced by a woman, Maggie's baby sounds done by an adult... Outrage!

I only DVR them for those times where I get home 30 minutes or so into a game. Then I can catch up pretty quickly. If the game's already over before I get to it, I pretty much always know the score already and won't watch. Anyway, I may try to call them and weasel a few bucks out of them. It's worth a shot, especially with all the money they bleed out of their customers.

No death could have lived up to the level of awesomeness that was Mike. It would have been fun though to see how he would have taken down Uncle Jack in the finale. But who am I kidding, they're all dead long before that point if Mike was still around.

I'm guessing he doesn't. I'm guessing they show a long drawn out series of events of him getting back to Alexandria, but then it's all just one big hallucination. He dies right there on that rebar.

My DVR has mysteriously stopped recording the games (DirecTV). The same thing happened last year, but it's a pain now because I actually want to watch them. It records them maybe 50% of the time, but I have no idea why. I was using some random code that I got from one of these threads a few years ago.

He needs to work a bit on his cross ice passes to Eichel on the PP though. He was jamming him consistently last night, not allowing for the one timer.

I just walked by a rack of the game in Target and somehow kept walking. I have no idea how I did that, especially since it’s been kind of a crappy day. Dawk, did you ever play any of the Batman Arkham series on ps3? I’ve heard that the spiderman game follows that style-wise very closely. And those were some great games.

I'm not sure when I'll get it, but I will definitely be playing this game at some point. I buy maybe 1 or 2 games a year and it usually takes a random moment of boredom to actually make the purchase. I haven't read or watched a single thing about this game in the last couple months, but I completely trust that they've put out a solid game.

I'm not there yet on the whole turn the corner talk. They're showing signs, but I think they're still just approaching the intersection. I'm still not sure whether they'll continue to head straight or finally make the turn. There are a couple things I still need to see from them. These may sound contradictory, but I do need to see both: 1. I want a few extended winning streaks, 4-5 games or so. Hopefully they're in the middle of the first right now, but I need to see more. 2. I also need to see some close losses. This team has lost so many games outright in the last few years. When you're trying to race for the playoffs, being able to take some of those losses into overtime is so huge. Even if you still lose them, you're stealing points. Lose a game by 3 or 4? You have no chance of stealing anything.

Yeah, make a specific misspelling and it shows up like it did in your post

Sweet the Pomminstein filter exists over here too

Back to back come from behind wins and two goals from the exact guys they need to get going. They’re starting to show a little something now. Now they just need to keep this winning streak going a bit longer. Seriously, have we even had any 3 game winning streaks in the last few years?

Who forgot to lock the door to the dungeon?

Great, now I'll be watching this and "Francis Scott Off Key" all day. Thanks Tom.

I had to help put the floor over the ice rink a few times back in college. That was an interesting experience. They used that building maybe twice a year for bouncyball, only if they had to host the conference tournament. I wasn't there for the basketball games themselves, but looking at how the whole process went, I can't imagine there not being issues with the floor at some point. Hell, I almost lost a toe at one point due to how disorganized the whole thing was. Obviously these big time pro arenas have the system down, but still, the whole thing was an interesting experience.

Yeah, it's definitely done. A popular thought out there is that they'll replace those two shows with one where they're teamed up. I can't see that happening though with the Disney streaming service looming in the background.

8th/9th defensemen love him because his injuries earn them a call up and a larger paycheck.

Johnny Depp, 45 years old back in 2008, as teenager Beavis? Yeah, that one makes a lot of sense. Beavis as an androgynous pirate may just be the worst thing I've ever heard.

I can see why he's wearing the A. Going out there and fighting for his team like he has the last couple of games has to do a ton for the rest of the roster. I can't help but cringe though when I see a guy with constant injury issues out there fighting in each game.

I have to go with the Weasel.

I only buy a ticket when the jackpots get press like this, so I have no idea how the process typically works. I stopped at a store this morning to get some breakfast and a drink, then decided to grab a ticket. Is not being allowed to use a credit card to buy that a policy from the lottery or from the credit company itself? I can see the credit company not wanting to get stuck with someone trying to buy a huge number of tickets, but there's clearly no games being played by someone who did what I did this morning.

I'm pretty much right there with you on all of this. The first half of Cage was really good and then it went off the rails quickly. The second season never got close to getting back to what made that first season work. I think you've hit on exactly why these shows either work or they don't. A compelling villain drives the shows. Kingpin, Killgrave, and Cottonmouth were all great. I'll throw Castle into that mix too, at least as an antagonist. When the shows don't have that, they suffer a bit. I didn't have the issues with Iron Fist that most did, but it definitely was a bit lacking in the villain department. I'm two episodes into season 2 now, but I've heard others who seem to agree with you on that season.

Hopefully those two losses on the road trip are fresh on their mind. Yeah, they started and ended the trip well, but they also got their ***** handed to them twice (and that last home game). They're still just steps away from those debacles and then need to stop losing like that. When they lose, they're losing by an average of 4 goals per game. That's flat out disgusting.

I used to work in a ridiculously old athletic facility on the Boston University campus. The rats walking around that place were incredibly creepy. After setting up traps, the maintenance guys used to have to wait around them with baseball bats so that they couldn't just crawl off attached to the traps. The place was an indoor track and I like to think that the runners were being chased by the rats. I'd love to know where those rats scattered to once they demolished that place and built the ice rink and a dorm over it.
