I know this is off topic but How about them Raptors? This is the best season since the Vince Carter era, yet people are on the Jays and Leafs Bandwagon but not the Raptors.
At least me and Kave know these Raptors have promise.

Batman confirmed to be written and directed by Affleck?
I'm excited to see the best Batman film ever made.
EDIT: Also legit surprised and a bit depressed that a NCAA UFA that is as good as Caggiula is apparently being ignored by the Wild. He's gud. Wild should be on him like Kessel on a hot dog.

You hope that the Spurs beat them.
They're losing to the Sixers

Man, if the Jays falter this year, Rogers might want to consider their payroll decisions.
Back to back 1st round exits are great at killing a buzz.

I think it's more than that, the second half of last season was a tire fire which continued into the playoffs. If they hadn't been playing so bad, and if the series were actually competitive, there wouldn't be as much scepticism.

Did you not like Bloodborne?

See I loved DS1 and Bloodyborne but hated DS2
The atmosphere and setting of Bloodborne to me was so much better than the Souls setting. Also the OST is better too
I think I prefer the faster gameplay but I like both.
But I agree.. I am loving DS3 so far
Going by the media and social media reaction, two things came out:
1) He kinda reneged on the "GM will have the resources to get best coach available".
2) He stated that "no player is untouchable".
The second thing may be getting blown outta proportion since what he was really saying is that he wouldn't nix a deal that the GM would do to make the team better, no matter which Sens player was involved. But he said it's not like he expects Dorion to actually trade Karlsson or anything. In other words, Melnyk is giving Dorion full autonomy is making roster moves.

Yeah that second one might have some people angry. There's no way that the Sens would trade Karlsson, you just don't do it.same with PK. That Defence would be a black hole.
At least the future is bright for SNES. Chabot is a defensive monster for the Sea Dogs right now. They are up 2-1 on the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in the QMJHL playoffs

Have them work the repair into your offer.
Yeah. We're going to ask them to cover it and they'll likely respond by suggesting we split the cost.
There are also ventilation problems, possible drainage problems, heating concerns... But shit that comes with most homes we'd actually be able to afford in this area...

Some nice morning ether from CBS.
Out of all the places to be ethered from. CBS goes straight to the jugular.
Why didn't any of the reporters ask "Geoff, Marc, Mike: What happens if Carey Price gets hurt again next year or simply has a bad year?" in response to all their "with a healthy Carey Price we aren't in this situation" nonsense?
It's crazy and beyond frustrating that the problems with the team are glaringly obvious to ANYONE who watches them and yet the braintrust either has absolutely no clue what is wrong with their team, or is willfully ignorant and willing to gamble everything on one player.
Problems with the team:
- No second line. This to me is the worst offense of all. Okay, with Patches-BGally-AGally we finally have a top line, but we need a second line. In its entirety. Im not talking about Plekanec playing with Byron. We need a new, legit second line left winger. We need a new, legit second line right winger. We need a new, legit second line centre. We need a new, wholesale, legit 2nd line that can score, and we are absolutely fucked until we have this.
- Over-reliance on Carey Price to win games.
- Sketchy defensive core.
- An awful coach in every regard - player utilization, strategy, communication, you name it - who somehow keeps his job after a historic collapse.
- Awful assistant coaches who get to keep their jobs despite icing a dreadful powerplay for 3 seasons now.
- An awful AHL coach who gets to keep his job despite developing a sum total of 0 NHL ready prospects and making the playoffs 0 times in 4 years.
- An awful GM who not only hasn't made the team any better, but played chicken and lost with Subban and is likely to do so again with Galchenyuk, who has traded for spare parts and scrubs, and who has allowed all these coaches to keep their jobs.
- An awful owner who lets all of this go down without change.
Problems with the team according to the Three Stooges of our inept management:
- Carey Price was injured.
- Not enough "character" 3rd and 4th line journeyman scrubs to bring grit and respeck .
This is maybe even worse than Gainey & Gauthier. Probably the worst and most inept Habs GM/HC combo since Rejean Houle & Mario Tremblay.

That CBS article was spot-fucking-on. Basically everything I've been saying about the Habs for years.
