  1. I don't understand the people on here blaming players for playing to win. Some of the most ultracompetitive people on the planet and you expect them to try and lose every game? If you want to blame anybody for not tanking, blame the management and ownership. From what we saw tonight, if Demko had not gotten hurt, we might be in a playoff spot right now.
  2. I agree. McDavid is the best player I've seen since Mario Lemieux. Better than Crosby, Ovechkin, Jagr, Forsberg, Yzerman, Sakic etc.
  3. Pettersson is the only reason to watch this team right now. Imagine if we had won the 2017 draft lottery and picked Nolan Patrick or something.
  4. I think it should be noted that Quinn has more assists than any other defenseman in the league since his rookie season.
  5. So happy to see Petey come into his own. This is his team now, and hopefully for the rest of his career.
  6. A part of me wishes that we had lost that one 5-0 rather than giving up a 3-0 lead to lose 5-3.
  7. But this is true for literally everyone else available at 15.
  8. Petey is legitimately playing the best hockey of his career. Such a turn around from the first half. I regret ever doubting him.
  9. I'm pretty sure Marky was in net when we beat the Blues in Round 1 though.
  10. Thatcher leads the league in Shots Against and Saves. For my money, he's the goalie who has had the biggest contribution to his team's success in the entire league.
  11. I will be happy with a Scott Niedermayer type of career from Quinn. Offensively I think he's already better than Scott, but he's starting to round out his defensive game. A couple of Cups with a Norris or two somewhere in his 20 year career seems attainable for Quinn.
  12. I haven't posted in CDC for years now. But Petterson had made me so mad that I came out of hibernation just to post this request. This kid held out, missed training camp, and then became our highest paid forward. His play so far this season has been nothing short of atrocious. He's shown no energy, no heart, no skill, and no sense of urgency. He's a liability at this point with all his turnovers and hurts the team more than he helps. I propose that the Alien reaction be removed until he gets back to a point per game pace. Thanks
  13. I was both looking forward to, and dreading this episode. Alas, the Starks brought this upon themselves. One stupid decision after another. Honour only gets you so far when you play the Game of Thrones. 1) Ned Stark doesn't tell Robert on his deathbed about Cersei and Jamie. Robert could have ordered them all arrested while he was still alive. 2) Ned doesn't take Renly's offer for support. Trusts Petyr Baelish instead. 3) Robb breaks his promise to wed a Frey girl, pisses off Walder Frey. 4) Robb sends Theon back to his father. 5) Robb executes Rickard Karstark, loses half his men and is forced to go back to the Freys. 6) Sansa tells the Queen about her father's plan to break her engagement to Joffrey and return her to Winterfell, tipping Cersei off about Ned's plot. 7) Arya wastes three instakills from Jaqen. 8) Catelyn arrests Tyrion, starts war. 9) Catelyn sets Jamie free. Karstarks get angry, Roose Bolton gets his chance. Yeah basically it's all their fault for being a bunch of idiots.
  14. Iron Man 3 was released here in the Philippines on April 24th. I was very excited to watch this film but ended up being somewhat disappointed. RDJ was his usual awesome self, and I liked the chemistry he had with the kid, but the rest of the film seemed rather forced. Perhaps I'm guilty of expecting too much from a marvel superhero movie. Iron Man 3 7/10
  15. Tyrion is far and away the best character in the series. Peter Dinklage is awesome. "And now I've struck a king! Did my hand fall from my wrist?!" - Tyrion showing that little bitch Joffrey who's boss.
  16. I spent a good ten minutes looking up at the sky in Sovngarde.
  17. About 30 hours in Level 26 Nord Shield and Sword, Destruction It's too bad you can't level up your shouts apart from finding the rest of the words...I use unrelenting force and ice form quite often. Each shout should also have it's own recharge time, although that would make the game much too easy. I came across a rather annoying bug during the "Elder Knowledge" quest of the main storyline. Apparently it has happened to quite a few people as well. To get the location of an elder scroll, you need to talk to the orc librarian at the College of Winterhold, but when I talked to him, no options appeared regarding the scroll rendering the quest (and thus the game) unfinishable...or so I thought. It turns out that you can just go through the motions and dungeons required to get the elder scroll despite the bug. Although you'll have to finish the rather lengthy quest without the aid of quest markers.
  18. How can people be expected to be proficient at driving in the snow when it rarely snows here in the first place? It's quite obvious that if anyone is to blame, it's global warming.
  19. I just finished a quest called "Evil in Waiting" located in Valthume. I started it at level 13, and came out level 16. I died about ten times finding the "vessels" you're supposed to find, and then another 8 times fighting the boss at adept difficulty. Needless to say, this was probably the hardest quest I've ever played both in Oblivion and Skyrim (so far) It was worth it though, there's a dragon wall near the end behind bars, and some interesting loot (I found an ebony sword, shield, hammer and the final boss has this extremely powerful staff that should prove useful at some point).
  20. Has anyone else downloaded the theme song and listened to it on the way to work?
  21. If by earthquake friendly you mean more susceptible to greater damage, then yes. Living in the Fraser Valley, or anywhere near a river means that the base which the settlement is built upon, is likely composed of sediment or other loose material that would be more susceptible to liquefaction in the event of a powerful earthquake.
  22. Nothing worse than waking up to an earthquake and finding your bed all of a sudden in your kitchen.
  23. I hope you're right that these "smaller" earthquakes could relieve pressure, but it seems unlikely that an earthquake involving the Pacific Plate and the Alaskan region of the North American plate would have any mitigating effects on the pressure build up in the subduction zone between the Juan de Fuca plate and the Cascadia region of the NA Plate. It's more likely that any relief in pressure would come from a "small" earthquake involving the Juan de Fuca subduction zone itself.
