Death From Above

As I said, condemned ghost ship. CORRECT AND ACCURATE

In fairness when I posted that they'd just put up another fumble in a game where they have 3 turnovers and then their own coach did an ultra dumb challenge that resulted in them not getting a free TD because he iced his own team, and they were stoned on the next play.

Remember when people thought the Cleveland Browns were good, and not a real life ghost ship full of condemned souls?

Edmonton are into the playoffs but that was still one of the ugliest football games I've ever been to. Trevor Harris can't get healthy fast enough. Defense played fine but just a completely unattractive football game. I don't think there was a single person in the stadium happy to see Mike Reilly get injured. He got a really nice ovation from all the fans behind the BC bench when he came back out with his arm in a sling. Honestly it was the only real cheering that went on for a couple hours there.

They could lose all four of those games and still win their division. I'm honestly not sure it's going to matter.

I replayed the OG Zelda for several years in a row as an annual tradition at one point, and I still think it's a game that was ridiculously ahead of its time. It kind of created open world games about 20 years before anyone knew what the hell that was. I usually called it after beating the normal game too though, mainly because I can't remember where anything is in the reshuffled second playthrough. Also... I don't hate Zelda 2. It was super different which was always going to piss some people off but a lot of the dungeons are actually really quite large and well done. The worst thing about the game is the awful translation, but at least it created the I AM ERROR meme that has baffled people for generations.

McDavid has 9 points and honestly I don't even think he's shaken off the rust. His hands haven't quite caught up again yet. It's actually stupid how good he is.

Jon Quick's first two games he has put up a .750 sv% and a healthy, robust GAA of 7.17.

OH BOY THAT WILL END WELL

I am getting a massive kick out of nerds tweeting at Oilers fans "well we will see who won the trade in a few months", no bitch, Lucic had 6 goals all of last season. Neal has 6 goals this week. This isn't rocket science math.

The funny thing is that exact tactic has absolutely owned in every single version of Madden this century.

The first couple weeks always have funky goaltending, but I don't think even that can explain away how bad Winnipeg's blue line looks right now.

As far as I can find, no CFL game has ever ended 1-0. The lowest scoring game ever was Toronto over Hamilton in 1947, 2-0. So the record is out there to be had.

Man, the LA Kings are real bad. Oilers absolutely gifted them 4 goals and it still wasn't enough to win. Having Mike Smith as a #1 goalie is absolutely going to be a wild, wild adventure.

Connor McDavid

The Senators only needed 2 periods to confirm they still suck and blow at the same time.

Arnold having a high kick doesn't sit right to me. MUH IMMERSION

If you can watch that video and don't see an official building up his personal big dick energy and throwing a man tantrum, I honestly don't know what to tell you. That you're calling this a play every linseman in history makes while calling that little stick swing that happens 1500 times an NHL season a "violent slash" because it happens to have caught a linseman that picked a bad time to jump in, is just the icing on the cake. Please stop whatever it is you're doing here.

I mean, the linesman absolutely jumped him. I don't think that's actually in dispute.

Kane got 3 games which seems light for official abuse, but having seen the video it looks like it was an honest mistake where a linseman got in the middle of two guys at the wrong time and I don't think Kane was actually trying to slash at him at all. The shoving match that ensued after was just two dudes getting heated about dumb dude stuff. So three games seems fine.

Man, imagine being a Bengals fan in real life.

Pavelski's scored 30 goals 5 times, though granted he's 35 now so the window is slamming shut. San Jose still doesn't have a real goalie though.

It's funny how fast the Pacific division went from a terror factory to being honestly the weakest division in the league. Edmonton is... Edmonton. The four natural left wingers on this roster had 15 combined NHL goals last season (Granlund had 12 of them), and Zack Kassian is scrimmaging regularly on second line right wing. Vancouver is in a rebuild cycle with an owner that has Strong Opinions their GM has to work with, they have some pieces but they're not ready to contend. LA is the PGA Senior's Tour of the NHL and are kind of an afterthought right now. San Jose have replaced Marleau and Pavelski with Some Guys so I honestly can't see them as a real contender anymore. Anaheim is pretty strong on the blueline and has good goaltending but other than Silfverberg I'm not sure they actually have a high skill forward. The Coyotes are a young team that is a giant perpetual what if and they don't have a #1 goalie that can stay healthy. Calgary and Vegas are the best teams in this division by a mile, and Calgary's management thinks the reason they don't win in the playoffs was the lack of a guy like Milan Lucic to start scrums after the whistle or something. It's crazy but Vegas might be the safest bet. Again.

It's not even the best meme game of the last two weeks.

I am still kinda shocked how much success Monster Hunter: World has had when it loads like complete ass on a stock, non-pro console, and is still locked into a "PC doesn't get the DLC for months" cycle.
