I cannot watch the “You’ve got me? Who’s got you?!” scene from the ‘78 Superman movie without thinking of the masses, velocities, and forces involved and concluding that Lois should have been broken in thirds by Superman’s arms.

2009 was the year Hossa blew off a lucrative 8-year contract offer from Pittsburgh for a 1-year deal in Detroit that “gave him a better chance to win the Cup”. And then Detroit proceeded to lose in the Stanley Cup Finals to Pittsburgh.

I think you still have the Guy Boucher Era teams on the brain. You know, the ones who brought a game against the Flyers to a screeching halt? Jon Cooper has them playing a more up-tempo, attacking style.

This might be a bit more about razzle-dazzle than emotion, but I love the scene in The Two Towers when Gandalf the White arrives at Meduseld and breaks Saruman’s spell on Theoden. That last smash cut, from a close-up of Theoden’s face as he’s slammed back into his throne to a close-up of Saruman’s face as he gets…

Rungs of a ladder, numbered in multiples of 5. Effin’ mind-boggling, right?

Honest question: If exclusives are bullshit, why is Destiny rewarded on the platform where it inflicts its exclusivity-based bullshit? Should you be recommending this game on a platform where players must pay 100% of the price for 90% of the content of the base game and every expansion, and must wait a calendar year…

Exterior: Black, white, 17 greys and beiges in between, and one shade of blue that doesn’t look all that flattering in the online configurator.

Really, what can anyone do in the face of that? Boyle was right on him. The puck was whistling in on net before Lundqvist knew it had been shot.

The Mason-Dixon Line is the southern border of Pennsylvania, which is just south of the 40th parallel.

The de-canonizing of the EU probably erased whatever source claimed that the Ep. 4-6 stormtroopers were all white male humans. It was probably the typical “everything you see in Star Wars is exactly like the one representative you see on screen for five seconds” syndrome. Besides, the real reason we only saw white…

(DONT FUCK WITH THE COMMENT SYSTEM, PLEASE! I think we all JUST figured it out)

You’ve heard about how horrible accidents with the transporters in Star Trek are, right? Nasty things like mis-calibrations (see ST:TMP) or beaming somebody into an inanimate object.

I’m pretty sure, in Rob Rossi’s mind, this isn’t just on Rutherford. He’s made a complete heel turn on the Penguins front office over last season’s big post-elimination summit with Mario Lemieux, Ron Burkle, and David “Next Against The Wall if the Penguins Lose Again” Morehouse.

Every time I’ve watched that video, I’ve wondered whose idea it was to paint a Cirrus Pepto-Bismol pink.

I can’t find the exact reference, so I’m paraphrasing, but I recall reading a quote J. Michael Straczynski gave about his name: “J. Michael Straczynski sounds like an author. Joe Straczynski sounds like a plumber.” (This was way back when Babylon 5 was still on the air, so my memory might be more than a bit hazy on…

Until that one day when some glowing green man flies overhead and cries out...

In general, Deadspin covers hockey just fine. This is not a full-coverage sports site full of box scores and recaps, nor does it claim to be. If something interesting happens in a game, they note it. There were 15 games in Major League Baseball last night, and Deadspin mentioned two. One for a remarkable catch, and…
