@travisyost extremely good. league would be lucky. ottawa is one of the few east teams that could beat carolina. old vegas vs young anaheim is cool. LA gets away from round 1 mcdavid, have fun with mackinnon instead...

@bobo_circus Been saying for years now: get Abercrombie to finish it, he'll sort through whatever spaghetti composes Martin's notes/estate and leave us with something at least halfway satisfying.

It's beyond me why anyone still gives this doughy Mormon heifer the time of day. He's spent 15 years turning sci-fi / fantasy readers into powerscaling bimbos and still finds the time to lob backhanded compliments at his betters. Disgusting stuff!

Brandon Sanderson on why he would not finish George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones even if he was asked: "I wouldn't say yes to finishing ASOIAF, if asked. (And I don't think they'd ask me.) I'd respectfully decline. I wouldn't be right for the job for many reasons. I wouldn't want to put in the content that the series has, and part of that is due to my religious faith, part of it is just who I am. I don't shy away from difficult material, but I prefer not to get explicit. Honestly, when I read it in George's work, I often just cringe. I don't think it fits in prose; I think it looks tacky. But that's almost 100% due to the my religious leanings. I realize that others don't read such scenes in the same way as I do. However, I'd suggest that this is actually a minor reason why I'd be a bad writer on this series, despite having enormous respect for GRRM and his talent as a storyteller. The primary reason has to do with fundamental optimism vs pessimism. I write darkness into my books, but it is darkness as contrast to light, and there is always a spark of hope. George's work seems fundamentally pessimistic--which I don't say as a slam. One of my favorite short stories is Harrison Bergeron, which is also fundamentally pessimistic. Saying George's work is pessimistic doesn't mean that HE is pessimistic, only that he creates a work of art that evokes emotion and discussion through pessimistic themes. As a comparison, I'm glad that Silver Age science fiction produced both Harrison Bergeron and Star Trek--but I'm Star Trek, not Harrison Bergeron. Calling me in to work on this piece would be like calling in Spielberg to finish a Tarantino film. (Not to imply I deserve to be ranked with either one.) Sure, he could do it, but wouldn't you want someone who themselves makes films with Tarantino-like themes? My work is also fundamentally different from George's in our use of magic. We've talked about books, and he points out (rightly) that I often use a heavily magical component in my stories--particularly the endings. This is because I'm writing science/magic hybrids, and the idea of magic as progress is fascinating to me. George, however, prefers his magic to be arcane, unknown, and dark--not a tool, but a force you can sometimes (with great danger) apply. This is a small issue, as I'm fond of books that use magic differently, I've just made a stylistic choice in how I do what I do." Do you think this still holds?

@FlyerDie @hostagejoe @broadburnt Well I guess you’re smarter than most sports books and privately tracked data sites because they all have Carolina around top 3 odds to win it all.

The Flyers sold their soul to become a playoff team. They structured the non-rebuild to make this happen as quickly as possible. Making the playoffs this year is their ultimate Stanley Cup. There is no plan to ever become a Colorado type team. Just playoffs and hopeful vibes.

@broadburnt is it me, or is it an actual joke this team is doing this right now? Makes me sick

@hostagejoe @broadburnt Some people can’t admit that there are ways to contention other than “shamelessly tanking” that they can’t see a flourishing product in front of them. Do you think anyone in DAL, CAR, MIN, TBL, or MON care that their teams didn’t shamelessly tank in order to build a contender

There is now a 52% chance that the first round of these Stanley Cup Playoffs features the battle of Pennsylvania.

Patrick Kane, after scoring the tying goal in a wild 3 goal comeback, takes one of the most needless, stupid penalties I've ever seen late in the 3rd period, leading to a Minnesota goal & a regulation loss for Detroit with their season on the line. Can't believe it. #LGRW

I really don’t think there’s a wrong answer to this year’s Hart race, just comes down to how you personally define Most Valuable Player. Four players with four semi different cases.
