  1. That was one of the more boring episodes so far... ...definitely agree about Lady Olenna and Catelyn's little speech. Looking forward to meeting VH and his Brave Companions...
  2. I'm kind of surprised that she hasn't been cast for any of the Hobbit or LOTR movies....she has definite Elfin features...
  3. There seems to be this idea around here that Garrison is some kind of downgrade over what Salo gave us, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Garrison's shooting percentage is better than Salo's this season and it is better than Salo's was last year when he played in Vancouver. Garrison also leads Sami in virtually every other defender category: He has more hits, more blocks, more takeaways, more games played and of course, more gaols. The on;y area where he isn't better than SS is giveaways, of which he has 13 to Salo's 11.
  4. I have to say that I was actually surprised last night when his one-timer on the feed from Hamhuis didn't go in. I'd call it a pretty good sign when you start expecting someone to score, rather than hoping he will...
  5. I was surprised to see Miller wearing the arm band, TBH. I thought it would be Rochat or possibly Lee myself...
  6. On Monday I was passing through the lobby of the hotel where I work and noticed a big guy looking at his phone. The guy looked very familiar. Looking again, I realized that I was looking at Angus Reid. Moving further into the lobby I see Rolly Lumbala and JR LaRose sitting in chairs. Apparently, the boys were in town to visit some of the local schools (My daughter later came home with a pic of her and Lumbala) Looking forward to the start of the season!
  7. Agreed. The second half was better. TBH, I was a bit concerned about the performance against what I saw as an inferior Toronto squad in the 1st half...
  8. The name on the front of the mask makes me think it's Leighton...
  9. That's being kind. I was thinking along the lines of abysmal...
  10. Forgetting the fact that it's not all that "easy" to trade players, it's a bad idea anyway. Even the trade deadline is too small a sample size to decide whether or not to keep a player. It took Ballard two years to make an impact with the Canucks.If Gillis had been as impatient as many here on CDC, (including "future GMs") he would have given Ballard up for virtually nothing.
  11. I recommend all Garrison bashers to read Gollumpus' last two posts. Spells it out very well.
  12. Just re-watched Paradise Lost: Purgatory. 7/10 Absolutely appalling what the West Memphis police and the Arkansas legal system put these three boys/men through. Even though it's a documentary, I recommend seeing it if you haven't already. It's a real eye-opener and a look into the kinds of injustice that have and still occur...
  13. I haven't posted in this thread up to now, because I think it's far too soon to declare someone a bust. While it's true that Garrison has struggled so far, I agree with stawns in that a combination of recovering from a long-term injury, coupled with adjusting to a new team/system has slowed his development. I see enough in his game to believe that he'll get there. Last night, I thought, was his best game so far this year, with, or without the goal. Kudos to Bowness, for the new pairings.
  14. A ball hockey goalie? I'll take a wild guess and say Alex Burrows.
  15. Yeah, Panger would have been my guess as well.....his blocker is half his height....
  16. Kay Whitmore Oops. Looks like VC beat me to it...
  17. After a little digging, that looks like Matt Zaba.
  18. I'm going to guess that this is future Shark Harri Sateri
  19. Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers Edit: too late
  20. Looks like Archie Irbe Edit: NVM...
  21. Meh. I'd talk more about the bad clock management. Pretty surprising considering the level of player that he is....
