  1. Genie Bouchard is so hot What an underdog story though, nobody thought she would make it this far. No matter what happens now it's still an amazing accomplishment.
  2. I think you really, really under rating Russel Wilson. The guy has proved that he can make something out of nothing happen, like today that pass to Kearse was so precise and also the Denver defence will have to worry about him running the ball. Denver has not faced a defence like Seattle this season, so you can't really be sure on how that is going to play out. With guys like Thomas, Sherman, Bennett, Avril, Bryant, and Smith playing the way they are it's going to be a tough match up. Definetly cannot say anything bad about Peyton Manning, he is a HOF QB and is always a massive threat. His passes are extremely accurate and he can read a play amazingly well, OMAHA! Marshawn Lynch has been on a tear in these playoffs, he lives for big games and shows up in a huge way. He is a massive RB and once he gets a head of steam going he can't be stopped, just look at huge runs vs Saints and tonight vs 49ers. There will be a 12th man in Seattle, you can bank on that. It obviously won't be like Seattle, but they will be there and they will be loud. Also, Denver won't have the benefit of playing at home with it being tougher for opposing teams to acclimate themselves to the air up there. Both teams aren't as good away as they are at home, but they also aren't bad away. I will say this is a fairly even match up and it will ultimately depend on which defence will come up big for their teams.
  3. Are you serious?! This team has been playing crap hockey for almost 3 seasons now. These aren't the same high-scoring, beat you on the PP Canucks anymore. They haven't played like that since 2011, hence one of the reasons why AV was fired. This team needs a change because otherwise it is just going to keep repeating first round exits. Also, we are no longer in the North West division, we have to go up against teams that are much tougher. The league has changed and so should the Canucks.
  4. So what I'm hearing is that you are AV. Go back to coaching the Rangers AV, we don't want you here. I feel like not only has Coach T given the Canucks a new identity to not take anymore garbage against us, but also may have given us (fans) a new life. After what happened in 2011 the Canucks and the fanbase have been mocked and ridiculed by many, but with how Torts is transforming this team it's like we should change with them. We as a proud fan base should stand up against the Eastern bias media, against our rival fans, and against the league. The North West is known to have crazy and passionate fans (via Seahawks) so let's run with it, let's make Rogers Arena the toughest arena for opposing teams to play in. I haven't felt this excited about Canucks hockey since 2011, we will come back and we will make another run at the cup. This season is a statement season, so let's get pumped and bring that excitement.
  5. Yeah because not standing up for ourselves has really worked, that is such an AV thought process. We were being bullied all the time since the 2011 SCF and now with Torts it's as if the players realized enough is enough. You can't use the "our PP will get them back" because our PP has sucked the past 2 seasons and a half. This team needed to stand up for itself as no one else was going to, Torts came in and led the charge. I for one completely support Tortorella and am glad that he got this team to send a message.
  6. Shut up you closeted Flames fan, your probably one those fans that wants to ban fighting from hockey. Go watch some kids play peewee because you clearly can't handle this type of hockey.
  7. I haven't seen any of the 2 movies but I have to say that Her looks way too good to pass on.
  8. Last Vegas- 7.5/10 Douglas, DeNiro, Freeman, and Klein are a good time. It was just fun to watch especially Freeman and Klein.
  9. I don't really like to watch movies where I don't understand what they are saying, I hate having to look at subtitles constantly. Also, what may be foreign to you probably isn't foreign to me. I watch mostly English, Hindi, and Punjabi movies.
  10. Last weekend I went 0/4 on my predictions, so I won't be making any picks this weekend. Although I will be rooting for the Seahawks, Panthers, Patriots, and Broncos this weekend. I won't be surprised if either the 49ers or Chargers advance, but will be absolutely floored if both the Seahawks and Patriots lose.
  11. That movie has such a huge love/hate with people. Man of Steel was my favourite movie of 2013, just thought it was awesome. Amelie- 7/10 First foreign film I've seen, not that bad.
  12. Well while Vancouver may be losing players left and right, Toronto just got that much stronger. They have now got Defoe and Bradley, along with De Rosario coming back. Why can't the Whitecaps bring in a guy like Defoe, Keane, Beckham, or Henry? I understand that it would cost a huge chunk of money, but I'm pretty sure having a former European star player will increase attendance and jersey sales.
  13. I would say this team can't compete with the 2010 Gold Medal winning team, but it looks pretty good when you look at other rosters. I would rather have Giroux and St. Louis over Marleau and Carter, the only changes I would really make.
  14. Was that Floyd "Money" Mayweathers ticket? He's probably the only guy I see who makes crazy bets like that, he's rich as hell though so he doesn't care.
  15. All I have to say is that if guys like Dale Weise and Zack Kassian aren't hitting or sticking up for their teammates then they are completely useless. What is Dale Weise even on this team for if he isn't here to fight and lay out the opposition, Sestito is a much better 4th liner than that guy. Zack Kassian doesn't do anything except skate around and make a good pass once in awhile which he later makes up for by turning the puck over. This team honestly needs a top 6 PWF or a 2nd/3rd line playmaker, without one we aren't going anywhere except golfing come this off season. Players who need to smarten up are Garrison, Kassian, Weise, Bieksa (needs to be grittier), and the Sedins. Send Hansen back to the 3rd line where he belongs.
  16. Well I tried to get tickets to the Seahawks Divisional Playoff game and tickets sold out in under 5 seconds. I did everything right at 10am and Ticketmaster had the tickets can't be found page cued up. Anyways my picks for the weekend would be Chiefs 24 - Colts 17 Bengals 30 - Chargers 20 Eagles 34 - Saints 27 Packers 23 - 49ers 17 I'm going to say the NFC games may come down to the wire, while the AFC matches won't be too dramatic.
  17. Kick-Ass 2- 8/10 Thought it was better than the first one, Jim Carrey was awesome. Don Jon- 8/10 Really good movie, ScarJo was a real biotch in it though.
  18. MY top 5 albums of 2013 1. Nothing Was The Same- Drake 2. Because The Internet- Childish Gambino 3. Magna Carta Holy Grail- Jay Z 4. Marshall Mathers LP2- Eminem 5. Yeezus- Kanye West #3 and #4 can be swapped with one another depending on what I'm into at the time. Side note: I didn't include GKMC because I consider that an album from 2012. For some reason a lot of people consider it a 2013 album, but it defently was #1 in 2012.
  19. Deck The Halls- 6/10 Elf- 8/10 Arthur Christmas 3D- 8.5/10 The Santa Clause- 9/10 Home Alone- 10/10
  20. I hope it snows a lot, I'm really pumped to play outdoors in the snow as I am going to a younger cousins birthday party. There will be a huge snowball fight if we get the amount of snow we are predicted to get.
  21. I really, really enjoyed Anchorman 2. The first Anchorman I really liked except for the ending, but Anchorman 2 was a good time from start to finish for me. The cameos in this movie were insane, there were so many celebrities in the film. Anchorman 2 is way more absurd than the first one, also there are so many laughs in the movie. I was afraid to take a sip of my drink most of the movie, there were usually laughs every 2 minutes. This is one of those movies where everyone in the theatre was laughing in unison and not just at random times.
  22. I cannot stop playing 2k14 at the moment. I am having a blast with my career, finally got into the starting line up for the Utah Jazz. NBA 2k14 has awesome graphics, many different modes, and it's really fun to play. FIFA 14 isn't a bad game though by any means. I like to play FIFA when someone comes over because it gets really intense and is also fun. Playing FIFA alone is alright, the manager mode is what I enjoy most though. I own both games and both a are great, but I would take NBA 2k14 over FIFA 14. Also do not buy NBA Live 14, that one is just a bad game.
  23. Anchorman 2- 10/10 Comedy of the year! So many awesome cameos and the entire movie had so many hilarious one liners. I liked this one way more than the first Anchorman. Now that I think about the other comedies that were released this year, I would still say Anchorman 2 beats them all with This is the End as a close second.
  24. I don't rate Christmas movies like I would regular movies. The more corny, silly, funny, outrageous a Christmas movie is the more I enjoy it. I keep Christmas movies and all other movies separate, it just works best that way.
