  1. Watched it yesterday with my brother, which was the real treat. That said, it was “ok.” Paul Rudd had an incredibly strong outing and stole the film in the first 40 minutes, until Chris Hemsworth showed up, who was then the star for the rest of the film. I did have one main gripe, but not enough for me to hate the movie. In Infinity War, when Thanos had 4 of the stones, the 5, and then 6 of them, he was almost beaten by several Avengers together, and some one on one. In this movie, he had none and put up a far greater fight. The “logic” there doesn’t make sense. Essentially, one Avenger would have decimated him in this movie, if he had a more difficult time with the stones taking them on last film. It’s a gripe, and the movie’s biggest flaw. But otherwise, good.
  2. Having known this decision was coming for the whole season, it’s still difficult to see you go. You will be missed.
  3. My middle name and my mother’s maiden name. There was never any doubt it was going in
  4. Congrats @Rush17 with wherever you go next...
  5. “Watched” It last night. And by that, I mean, I was incredibly bored and fast forwarded through A LOT of it, as the mass battle scenes were, to me, generic. Went to parts that seemed necessary to pay attention to (ie: character development). Was “alright”.
  6. It gets a lot better, and very quickly.
  7. https://pitchfork.com/news/boyz-n-the-hood-director-john-singleton-dead-at-51/
  8. There may not be a drama around, except Breaking Bad, that rivals The Leftovers. Such a terrific show.
  9. There it is, the reason I’m involved in fantasy hockey. Love it! Won’t disclose last name, but first and middle names for newborn: William Benjamin Montgomery
  10. Dark - Season 1 Episode 1 Really interesting. Excited to get to ep2 soon.
  11. We’re still in the hospital, but likely leaving this evening. All is good!
  12. So, only D-Money knows more details (I think). But my wife lost 1.8L of blood and, according to the doctor, "was this close to dying, because of their inability to keep calm and communicate during a stressful moment for them." I've been in and out of hospitals for my whole life, so I've seen doctors and nurses keep their cool. The doctor and nurses, after the fact when talking to us this evening, we're not only incredibly apologetic, but visibly shaken. Doctor said he's already told the hospital he's taking a week off, because he has to reassess how he dealt with the situation, because he doesn't believe he's in the frame of mind right now to help patients after, his words to us, "allowing a patient to die because he and his team were unable to communicate during a stressful 15 minutes." This said, value what you have. Because for one minute, I honestly thought my wife was dead when the doctor was talking to me.
  13. Two nail biter series already. Carolina vs. Isles: 6 point separate the two, with a 6-0 lead. LA vs. Oilers: 1 point separate the two, with a commanding 1-0 lead
  14. Haven’t seen the first season yet, but heard it was really good.
  15. Wife had to go to O.R., just like last time, as there was a bit of complications after the birth (nothing serious). So I’m alone with baby boy for the next 3-4 hours. Then it’s time to: 1. Smack talk @Mike Vanderhoek 2. Hire baby William as my new AGM 3. Talk strategy with William 4. Start rebuild, like soon to be Cup final team, Washington
  16. Baby born. I’ll be out of commission for the next bit, but not too long.
  17. @Nail Not sure this really matters, but https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/221667/patrik-laine shows Laine as RW/LW, while other sites show either one or the other. Wondering if you could amend the SS to show him being both sides. Also, Zach Aston-Reese also showing C/LW on elite prospects, used to be C/RW. Thanks!
  18. After 3 consecutive years of being taken out in the first round, fans are getting amped in Carolina:
  19. I hate using this hockey word, but he’s a “beauty”. Is everything you want in a player, on and off the ice.
  20. A whole bunch, but this is in my workout mix. Love the whole album, but this was always my favourite from the album, and a great song to workout to:
  21. The Buffalo Sabres have extended defenseman Erik Gustafsson to a 5 year deal, worth $30M ($6M AAV). Deal comes with a full NMC. @donut47 @Nail
  22. Second round and could move to third and then finals? #rebuilding
