  1. I just have a hard time picturing that after all of these years, there's another group in their immediate area that they're not yet aware of. At least with the Whisperers, they're migrant. Marking roads and attempting to toll them suggests that the group is settled and not moving around.
  2. He jumps prior to the hit, so there's no way I'm calling that legal. But anyway, as for Clendening, if he had ever actually been looking up ice in the first place, I might get behind that overused "admiring the pass" angle. He telegraphed that drop pass and paid for it. The problem wasn't that he wasn't looking while making the pass, it was that he wasn't looking at any point even before making the pass.
  3. The second those rating started being mentioned in ads was the final nail in the coffin for them ha I guess any value. Studios can game the system in the opposite direction of what you’re seeing now. It’s just another system that’s in someone’s pocket.
  4. One letter that can do the work of two others? Why don't we axe both S and K instead?
  5. This makes me wonder which shows, if any, actually did better or at least well after a big turn over in cast. I'll ignore the many iterations of SNL over the years since that is the nature of that show. I was never really into Parks and Rec at all, but I know they had an early shakeup. So what shows out there were completely established, then had a big cast change and still kept on chugging? The only obvious cast change I can think of off hand was the mother change in Fresh Prince, but I wouldn't classify that as major.
  6. Im not so sure I buy the “avoidable” angle they pushed so hard there. The only way to avoid it is to give up his position and let Soderberg go. There was no hit there that wasn’t going to hit the head, whether initially or secondarily. The point of impact was completely down to chance.
  7. Hes not admiring the pass. He was looking back there the whole time before and after the pass. He’s the defenseman in talking about with the previous post. He’s carrying the puck up ice while looking backwards the whole time. This might be the first ever case where they should suspend someone for stupidity.
  8. all things Stan Lee in that movie were amazing. I usually hate applause in movie theater, always seems a bit cheesey. But the applause in my theater for the marvel intro was great. As for thr movie, I’m with you on your other post. I enjoyed it, but I can’t quite put a finger on it, but something just felt off. The movie felt a bit different than most of the other marvel stuff.
  9. I just want to know which battery company was the first to tie this day into checking your smoke detectors. I’d love to see just how big the spike of 9 volt battery sales is. The battery racks are always cleared out around here.
  10. Sure they do, but that trade was not made for today. So only looking at this season to evaluate it is kind of pointless. The Sabres knowingly passed on what he could add right now in exchange for a couple prospects (I’m including the draft pick there) and cap flexibility a year or two down the road.
  11. The second I saw the cast I knew that one was DOA. And somehow it still managed to be even worse than I expected.
  12. Color me unimpressed. 35 players in the NHL are currently at or above a point per game pace (I'll ignore the three guys who have played <5 games). Last year only 24 hit that mark (again, ignoring those who barely played). If each of the players in the top 10 in scoring averages 1 point per game the rest of the season, those top ten will have on average 7 more points than last year's top ten. I'd venture a guess that a lot of players already have a career season going as of today. Right off the top, I know Kucherov does. And several more will by the end of the season. Congratulations O'Reilly, you're scoring more just like every other player in the league.
  13. I had my knee scoped 8 years ago. When I went in a couple days later to get the stitches out, the nurse said "take of your shirt so I can remove the stitches". So yeah, sometimes it's helpful to have this stuff marked.
  14. I thought I had seen something at some point recently where they were working on a Married with Children spinoff that would center around Bud. I'm guessing it was one of those conversation starter things though that quickly fall apart before going anywhere. As for Batman 66, they did an animated movie or two right before Adam West died that were in the spirit of that show. Looking at the IMDB page, they had West, Ward, and Julie Newmar. They also had William Shatner as Two-Face and he seems like a perfect fit for the feel of that show.
  15. Did the re-launch on Comedy Central hold up? I got distracted from it when the new ones were airing and I never actually went back to watch them all.
  16. Was it just the title or something? I just looked up the cover art for Caddyshack 2 and it has 10 people on it. One is Chevy Chase and the rest weren't in the first movie. Did you always confuse Peter Venkman and Ray Stantz while watching Ghostbusters?
  17. So what exactly did Alpha use that cut through the woman's spine like butter? I don't usually care about stuff like this, but that was a bit ridiculous.
  18. Did your father lose his shins in the war and have his feet surgically attached to his knees too?
  19. I hope Al Bundy is decent enough to make his way out to Wanker county for the funeral.
  20. To me, he'll always be Side Show Luke Perry.
  21. I turned it on at the start of overtime. That last music was some fun hockey. And then the ref slightly trolling the crowd with the call on the replay was pretty funny.
  22. That was pretty much my exact thought when I was typing my post. The demographics of NHL players is so vastly different than the other leagues. Those three are pretty much completely american while the NHL is going to be what, 20%? edit: I should walk back the "completely American" part a bit, particularly for baseball.
  23. Most of us are only familiar with the stories within our own market. I'd be curious to see how often it happens with other teams. I feel like we have plenty of stories of the exact opposite as well. My guess is our rate isn't any different than what is typical around the league.
  24. Berglund's still not playing anywhere in the world, right? I think that's more telling about his situation to where very little of it was about Buffalo.
