  1. I heard that as well. Much like The Cloverfield Paradox and 10 Cloverfield Lane. Finals scripts written with no intention for them to be in the Cloverfield universe, but in order to sell them to the public, they slapped the name on it. In 10 Cloverfield Lane’s case, they just extended the ending 10 minutes and slapped it on the mailbox. A great movie that didn’t need it to be apart of the universe. But The Cloverfield Paradox was much, much worse. Just some voice over from mission control saying “Cloverfield something or other” and then slapping a monster in the last frame. Terrible movie given the name so people would watch it. Thank goodness Overlord didn’t have that. Was thinking that throughout. I was like, “How on Earth were they going to spin it into that garbage?” After watching it, I said to my wife, “This feels like an 80s movie that Kurt Russell would have been in.” Felt like an instant, cult favourite.
  2. Going through the 2017 CDCFL draft right now. Like seeing who was picked right before and right after my picks. Also, pretty clear @Canuck Surfer won the draft by selecting Pettersson with the 9th pick: 25th: Alexei Lipanov 26th: Shane Bowers 27th: Conor Timmins 34th: Jake Oettinger 35th: Joseph Woll 36th: Cayden Primeau 37th: Ivan Lodnia 38th: Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen 39th: Maxime Comtois 55th: Keith Pettruzzelli 56th: Morgan Geekie 57th: Scott Reedy 75th: Casey Fitzgerald 76th: Luke Martin 77th: Jake Leschynshyn Bowers turned out to be a good pick at that spot. Woll was flipped. Without looking into it, I completely forget what I got for him. Ukko-Pekka was a good pick at that spot. Although, Comtois was definitely a nice selection as well. Geekie was traded to Ottawa. Think it was a package for Faksa. Luke Martin? Well, could’ve been better. He’s been in a recent trade talk.
  3. The Minnesotan Wild have signed the following players to ELCs: Dylan Samberg: $685k x 3 Jakob Galvas: $685k x 3 Dylan Coghlan: $685k x 3 Martin Fehervary: $685k x 3 Olle Eriksson Ek: $685k x 3 Jonas Rondjberg: $685k x 3 @Canuck Surfer @Nail
  4. The Anaheim Ducks have signed the following players to ELCs: Joseph Woll: $885k x 3 Michael DiPietro: $885k x 3 Jake Leschyshyn: $685k x 3 Brady Lyle: $685k x 3 Jack Rathbone: $685k x 3 Dmitry Samorukov: $685k x 3 Eetu Luostarinen: $685k x 3 @Nail @gmen81
  5. Overlord Tasteful WWII movie about Nazi zombies. Also, it’s nice to know that the world definitely has a young Kurt Russell who, when it’s time to remake any Kurt Russell film, he can step right in. And it’s his son, Wyatt Russell. Here, he plays a young Kurt Russell
  6. Dion Phaneuf interview after being a healthy scratch: Liar.
  7. Less realistic the better (as it is currently set up). There are other leagues already on CDC that emulate, as much as possible, to be more realistic. Having a league like Puck is what sets it apart, as I don’t think there are any others on CDC like it. If it were to be more realistic, it would be up against other leagues that already have that formula locked down. Puck would be in for an uphill climb. As for what else it could do? Not sure. But I do know that trying to add realism wouldn’t be in this particular league’s best interest. A few GMs and I referred to Puck as “The Wild West” of fantasy hockey. It’s a nice break.
  8. I’ve got lots of defense available.
  9. I dare another Metro team to get him. Just try it
  10. The New York Rangers have signed Matt Grezlyck to a 2 year extension, worth $5.4M ($2.7M AAV). @JimLahey @Nail
  11. Also happy to see AV posting. Been waiting for this.
  12. I’m assuming this was a shot at both the real life Hurricanes and the FL Hurricanes
  13. Oh yeah, good trade for @Master Mind as well. Really fair overall. MM is a Cup contender, so parting with TT made sense.
  14. @BM24 When you said "24 year old center, 19 year old defensive prospect, and a pick", this was my guess. No way I could (see: willing) part with what was needed for Josi. Great trade!
  15. It was such a terrific eff up. When I was watching it, it reminded me so much of the Islanders in the late 90s with their own fraud “owner”, John Spano. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Spano The 30 For 30 on him is obviously preferable, but the Wiki link explains everything.
  16. Also, my favourite reaction to the documentary was a woman on twitter: “I watched both documentaries about the Fyre Festival and the smartest person I’ve seen is the pilot that learned how to fly with the Microsoft Flight Simulator.”
  17. Ja Rule: “It’s not fraud. It’s false advertisement!”
  18. One more trade down, maybe one more to go. Just awaiting response from said GM. Then, that’s all she wrote. Until I get antsy and make another trade.
  19. Thanks to @lethunder for the negotiations. I feel I overpaid... Uh huh...
  20. Leaving in one week. So touching base with all GMs about possible last minute additions for my club. PM’d most of you, I think.
  21. Eric Comrie (while deal cannot be announced until July 27th) is now off the market. Other goalies like Nalimov, Delia, Vejmelka (sort of), Adin Hill, and Matthew “World Junior’s” Villalta are all still available, no matter how many goalies get traded. Ukko-Pekka moving is becoming less likely.
  22. Did you happen to get a goaltender who doesn’t hang out with Sami Salo?
  23. The Calgary Flames have extended forward Jake Guentzel to an 8 year contract, worth $56M ($7M AAV). @BM24 @Nail
  24. The Buffalo Sabres have extended forward Kyle Connor to an 8 year deal, worth $56M ($7M AAV). @donut47 @Nail
