Elliott is a rebound machine. Even from the blue line on wristers

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) Right?! Maybe I don't understand interference but Seabrook didn't have the puck for a good 2-3 seconds there Maybe a make up call on that hook. They haven't called interference on the Blues after about 10 of them.

That hit was late as hell.

Crash the net

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 01:35 PM) I'm a fan of neither and I don't think he should be suspended. +1

Need to keep crashing the net. Going to get some rebounds.

Wow he almost tied it too. Elliott is giving up meaty rebounds.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 08:15 PM) Hossa is so clumsy these days. Like a fox

Elliott is fighting the puck too

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 08:12 PM) It's on the forwards as well. No one wants to win a board battle or back check. Nobody is helping back at all.

Getting completely dominated

Ruh roh

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 07:55 PM) Not the end of the world, but that goal was off a total fire drill in the defensive zone. Hawks have had some chances, looks pretty even out there, but the Hawks have basically spotted them one goal to open this game There was a great pick set to clear that shooting lane.

Looks like the whistles are going to stay in the pockets. Need to adjust

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) I mean, Beric said in both the books and show that he was feeling less human each time, it's gradual but definitely present. Yeah, he died a bunch of times and kept losing more of himself. But still thats what I expect to happen with Snow.

Yeah well, typical old house, flange is totally rusted out and whoever put the last toilet in just put a s***load of wax and some weird funnel thing down there instead of bolting it correctly. They also sealed it to the floor which was pretty much the only thing holding it in place. Plumber coming over now.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 01:25 PM) I think the audience wants good TV, not awful dialogue and a mess of a plot. Besides, you can still do that with Arriane. I doubt I could pick Whippy out of a lineup, the only reason I know who Obarra is because she says her name so much, and the only reason I know Tyene is boobs. The whole story is a slow play, that's basically what books 4 and 5 are. Edit- Besides, I'm not confident Dorne is going to be any more productive a storyline than most of the stuff in the series. Look at what happened to Stannis, and he got way more screen time even outside of Blackwater and the battle at the wall. And i still dont get why they killed Stannis off like they did.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 11:18 PM) did you finish the season? or just starting. I've heard mixed reviews. Finished, it was good enough to where I want to see more.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) He had the Arienne + Viserys plan. And the Quentyn plan. And then the plan with Griff. He's pretty active. Not terribly successful, but he's tryin'. Eventually he was going to align with the Targaryen's, but now who the F knows what the plot is. I assume since Connington doesnt really exist that the Aegon plot wont either.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) Yeah, everything about Mereen is pointless. It existed to get Dany some experience in ruling, but Martin has to figure out how to resolve that plot and then get Dany forward momentum again toward Westeros. My understanding is that Martin initially planned a several year time jump between Books 3 and 4. That would have helped with a couple of the plots that need more time to be done right (Arya's Faceless Man training, Dany ruling and then moving forward, Bran's plot, etc.). In the show, Dany has forward momentum finally, but I'm not sure why Tyrion and Varys in Mereen is going to matter in the least... I was the least interested in Dany's arc in the books at the end because Arya, Bran, and the invasion of Storm's End by Aegon were more interesting to me.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 11:16 AM) Ellaria has zero claim to control over Dorne. I'm guessing they're just going to pretend she has control because all of the people of Dorne somehow support her now, despite the show not giving us any reason to believe that. Even those guards looked more "deer in the headlights, oh s*** they killed Areo" than "Hell yeah, finally the right people in power now". I predict that the two Snakes On a Boat will infiltrate King's Landing and try to kill some Lannisters, but get smoked by Robert Strong and/or Jaime. Cersei will send Ellaria a "U MAD BRO?" letter. Nymeria is supposed to be in King's landing in the books as their family rep.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 11:09 AM) "I am not blind, nor deaf. I know that you all believe me weak, frightened, feeble. Your father knew me better. Oberyn was ever the viper. Deadly, dangerous, unpredictable. No man dared tread on him. I was the grass. Pleasant, complaisant, sweet-smelling, swaying with every breeze. Who fears to walk upon the grass? But it is the grass that hides the viper from his enemies and shelters him until he strikes. Your father and I worked more closely than you know … but now he is gone. The question is, can I trust his daughters to serve me in his place?" - book Doran "I need to sit down, my feet hurt." - tv Doran But even book Doran had no real plans taking place. They were just sitting in Dorne. He was definitely a different person and wasnt all that close to being overthrown

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 10:59 AM) I read/listen to too much stuff and my impression is that way more book people love Dorne than hate it (I'm indifferent). Brienne, Bran, book 5 Danny get way more hate for being pointless. The women in the show are awful and barely did anything in the books (more Arriane and Quentin). At least book-Doran had some plans even if they were taking forever. Now we're stuck with random, illogical murder, people saying their characters's name all the time, and maybe getting naked for no reason. Dany was worthless in the last book, shes basically sitting around doing nothing the entire time. Dorne was ok, but they were also just sitting and waiting. The Quentyn plot was ok, but that didnt go very far.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 10:32 AM) His statement was not-so-hidden insult pointing out that a Martell girl wasn't kept safe in King's Landing, and that Dorne is better because they actually would keep Myrcella safe. Dorne is also the most progressive of the 7 kingdoms in terms of how girls and women are treated. I understand seeing Oberyn die would be traumatic, but it shouldn't have made her completely bonkers. It certainly didn't in the books. The thing is the show has broken off from the books. I dont know if it would have happened in time in the books but they certainly made them snap and takeover in the show.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 09:45 AM) While that makes sense with where the two houses are right now, their history is wayyyy to violent to make that a real possibility. And Doran was the only one who may have allowed that, the Sand Snakes will hold a grudge just as hard against the Tyrells as the Lannisters. My thoughts too, I think the Sand Snakes are just going to randomly show up, f*** something up, and go away periodically.
