I’ll speak on behalf of those imploded Kings. The Kovalchuk signing was a calamity made into a catastrophe by the terrible Desjardins hiring, but what hurt has hurt this team more more than the bloated contracts to older, unnecessary players is the mismanagement of first-round picks. They did not have their first…

That is one of my favorite Tragically Hip songs.

It also sounds like the discharge was dishonorable, as well.

Underrated. +1

Sean Payton approves.

To our Canadian friends: Is the is the part where we Americans point out that a team based in Canada wouldn’t be taking home this championship without all those Americans on their roster? You guys are the experts at that take when it comes to the Stanley Cup, so I thought I’d ask you first.

Never would say I was a fan of the Blues, but I am old enough to remember those days, and I know how they feel today. I suffered through my own hell of 34 years as a Kings fan before they finally won it.

Everybody, I found David Backes’ burner account!

Also, the Canadians have Christine Sinclair. She’s three goals away from tying Abby Wombach’s career goal total for first overall in the history of women’s soccer, and a decent team on the field with her has helped her get where she is. Yes, the US should win any game between them, but I don’t think they’d necessarily…

Nah, we’ve been on fire for a lot longer than that. It’s just now that we started trying to put it out with gasoline.

The sense I got from the trailer is that there are regular humans and then there are people that were formerly human and are now something other than human. I’m wondering if it’s meant to be a faction that is anti-human (or perhaps, anti-unevolved human), and are therefore “demons” to Homo sapiens. That could also be…

Tiger Woods, however, remains free to discuss his activiation.

This is technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

And isn’t that all that it’s about? My feelings?

Same for the Padres.

Right there with you on that. I too love co-op FPS games (Borderlands 2 is still tops for me). I actually enjoyed the co-op in Rage, but it was too limited. I was hoping they’d expand that to the main campaign. Still, I’ll probably pick this up at some point, because it sounds like from a gameplay standpoint, it’s fun…

As a Kings fan, I got plenty of disdain from fans of other teams after 2012 and 2014. “Hockey doesn’t belong in California,” even though it’s been here over 50 years, or “You wouldn’t have a great team if not for all the Canadians on the roster,” which is generally true of all teams in the league. The weirdest…

The co-op in the first game was limited to just a handful of standalone missions, which were fun, but separate from the campaign. The story playthrough was all single player.

It seems every year there’s a guy who the media gravitate to on this angle. “Who’s our favorite old guy who’s never won?” This year, it’s Joe Thornton’s turn. 

There wasn’t much in the way of story in the first game. Still, given how average a lot of the game was, it was one of the smoothest games I played on the PS3, and the combat was a lot of fun. The weapons were cool, especially the wing stick and the rebar gun from the DLC.
