    Ok, but still, had Hutton stayed at the level, or even half the level, he was at the start of season, we would be either in or close to playoff spot. Hutton dropped off big time. 

    I'll respectfully disagree. We started the season with Sobokta on the second line and no clear role/direction for the bottom 9 forwards. That's a team construction/GM problem.

    We started the year with *squints* 5? good forwards and one of them was a rookie that played a half season and they were relying on him for 1st line minutes. Surprises line Oloffson and Ullmark should take a team from good to great not from terrible to watchable.

    In a league where 50% of the teams make the playoffs each years, you really have to appreciate just how horrible a franchise has to be to not make those odds for 9 years running.

    I came here to make this point, so thank you for beating me to it ?

    When we start calculating what it would take to make the playoffs in terms of win streaks and point totals that equate to the best team in the league, the playoffs are officially toast. We haven't even approached escaping the bottom 1/3rd of the league in a decade, let alone top 16. That's with having a top 10 player in the league this year and multiple top 5 draft picks. It's an especially impressive level of incompetence.

  3. Wife and I caught The Hate U Give on HBO last night as we always try to check the movies that are leaving at the end of the month to make sure we don't miss a good one. It was really excellent story about the challenges of living in a poor black neighborhood and how drugs, fear, and wealth privilege all play a huge part in the opportunities available to kids in that area. The central conflict was focused on police brutality, but there were more story arcs to follow as you got into it. I'd recommend it if you still haven't cancelled HBO from the GOT days...

    Having played the games and read the books, I loved it. For someone watching it without having read/played the other media I am not sure how well it will translate

    Agreed. I'm almost done with it now and it has been good but I will agree that the show almost expects that its viewers have played the games or are familiar with the stories. If this was your first experience with the Witcher universe I could see it being a bit confusing who Geralt/Yennifer/Ciri are and why they have magical powers.

    That's assuming the challenge would have failed and the rest of the game played out identically.

    I'm more just glad that our coach realizes that timeouts are valuable. We've had far too many coaches that uses them like condoms on prom night

    That final 2 minutes or so was the best game management of McDermott's career. Even if we hadn't scored, he maximized our chances. And kudos for being aggressive regardless. 

    My wife rightly pointed out that if McD had challenged that 4th down spot earlier we would have ran out of time at the 1 yd line with no points

    There is so much more going on here. The field position, the personnel.  I don't think I'll ever like McDermott and Daboll as a HC & OC combo. They can't even overcome themselves. 

    This is better articulating what I was getting at.

    Jumbo package with Gore for all three downs with 10+ yds to go. You're not setting us up for success. Singletary fumbled once on a great play by Watt, don't need to take him out.

    There was another picture I took where they were starting to get into position and it was totally dino sex
