NHL October 2015 |OT| Dan Cleary was re-signed

I think that's mostly a function of injuries on our blueline more than Cowen earning those minutes. Though he may have been improving lately as I've not heard much complaining about his play. (I admit I've missed a few games so far and I've only paid passing attention to the team's performance.)
All that said, I do concede that he's probably a better choice than Boro.
So Johansen won't play on Tuesday because they're still dealing with whatever non-contagious illness he has that's been affecting his energy. Oh and apparently he went to the emergency room over the summer because of an elevated heart rhythm. Oh but docs found nothing wrong. Oh and it has nothing to with what's going on now. Maybe. Or something.
he got Tortorenitis

Why is Guenin still in the lineup despite Gormley outplaying him? This is pretty frustrating, most coaches have one pet player that's fairly bad, but this is so glaringly obvious.

The last time I saw a movie in theatres was Star Trek. The first of the new gen, so like... 2009? It was with my gf. I think it's only fitting we go see the "first" Star Wars of the new gen as our second theatre film. Gonna reserve some VIP seats as well, just not sure when I wanna go. When are there less annoying people? Like, Tuesday at 1pm? Or are kids on Xmas break by then? Fuck I dunno how movies work anymore. Used to go like 3 times a week when I was younger. I'm out of the loop.
Help me decide.
You'd think something like that they'd be upfront, but who knows. At least it isn't mumps......
The theater I go to has $5 movies before 12pm and obnoxious people typically don't show up to any given movie that early unless it's a kids movie. Late morning weekends are the sweet spot

I asked for trade every off-season in Winnipeg': Evander Kane
I wouldn't be surprised if he asks for a trade every off season in Buffalo.

I hit up mid-to-late afternoon movies on a weekday sometimes. There would be like 5 people in the theatre in total. I was lucky enough to be in a theatre with 3 people, and I just sat at the very back.
I'm excited for Star Wars. I haven't bought my tickets yet because of potential scheduling conflicts, but I'll end up getting tickets soon probably (if available). On the other hand, I've generally been lucky with highly anticipated movies and being able to watch on the day of release.

I'm going to watch Star Wars Episode 7 on opening day. It's also my Dad's birthday on that day so it's a win-win.
I saved my SCENE Points for this.

Why wouldn't you want two puck movers playing together?
Playing some shitty defenceman with Karlsson just because he's a "shutdown" guy is a horrible strategy. Habs have Markov and Subban on their top pair and seem to be doing fine.
You should have as many puck moving defencemen on your team as possible.

I saw Jurassic World in theaters but before that I think it was Batman The Dark Knight

Agreed. There's nothing like it. But of course, say that on the OT side and you'll basically get a bunch of people saying "Why not spend $10,000 on your own home theatre system?" like that's an actual viable option
EDIT: Last movie I saw in theatres was Jurassic World as well, will probably see Spectre if I'm not shitfaced that weekend
I'm the opposite lol, opening day crowds agitate and annoy me. I'm seeing Star Wars on opening weekend but I tried to pick a relatively innocuous time (Sunday afternoon) so it hopefully won't be that bad. Usually I wait like 2-3 weeks minimum if I'm going to see a movie in the theatre just so it'll be close to empty.

I try to avoid opening weekend crowds for big movies usually. Might go a week afterward. But I can see the appeal from both sides, I just wish people that hate crowds weren't so....militant about it.

I normally forget a movie is in theaters even if I am hyped about it. I prefer to avoid the massive crowds since I like certain seats in the theater but I think watching a movie with a bunch of people for the first time is a really cool experience though
I saw Steve Jobs last week, before that, Straight Outta Compton. I watched the blockbusters of this year.
I don't mind quiet theatres at all. I probably prefer it. But I also enjoy the buzz of a crowd for something like Jurassic World or a Marvel movie.
I used to be more of the opening weekend type when I was a teenager. I think I'm too old for that nowadays. Get off my lawn, etc.

God, I'm 18 and sometimes I feel so old. I enjoy watching golf, quieter and smaller crowds, baseball, the works. I also can't do the same thing for more then 15 minutes before I get bored (So no endurance races in racing games unless it's GT and I'm on B-Spec)

Oh, gang, Crimson Peak is an acceptable popcorn movie. The right amounts of romance, horror and mystery.
