Detroit has struggled for multiple reasons. Lidstrom not playing is just one of them. It's a team game. Individuals do not win SCs. Teams do.

"Actually two player teams seem to be the norm in the NHL, very few have three real superstars. " Total ignorance. It's not about how many superstars you have but team. Detroit, for example, isn't a team built on just a couple of players. neither are the Canucks. Boston is the best example of this with teams like Montreal right behind them.

So.. you admit you are a two player team.. You don't deserve the playoffs just like the two player team in NY.

"Secondly, it IS in fact an unfortunate truth that many online gamer communities that are male dominated ARE unfriendly to women. This is slowly changing, but early online cultures tended to be especially abusive toward (openly) female members so they left and don't bother with communities like this." Eh. The internet is rather an unfriendly place whether one is male or female.

"I think the trailer looks terrible. Well, the sets look sumptuous, but outside of that. But who knows, could be good. And yes I've read the book/seen the Redford film. Book is great, old film is ok (I have a bit of a soft spot for it, but it's not really an awesome film)." That's just wrong. The book is a classic in every sense of the word and not just ebcause of how old it is. The set peices are awesome,a nd the characetrs are deviine. I do hope but I doubt it will happen that they change the ending. The ending isn't all that creative plus my prefered laternate ending still leaves the chaarcters in a dark place with room for continuation. Yes, after watching that trailer - one of the best trailers ever - I could watch a Gatsby played by Dicaprio for multiple movies. Trailer = 9.5/10 ... it loses .5 because sadly I know the movie's ending already. :(

Milbury and his fellow toolbags will just whine how Ovechkin is selfish, can't into assists, and doesn't play defense while praising Stamkos to high heaven despite he shares ther same flaws as Ovechkin even thoguh Ovechkin is a much more comple, more dynamic, and literal game changer unlike Stamkos. That said, as Kor mentions, I wouldn't count Stamkos out of winning RR either. Like I've been saying all along. Let the o players play o and let the d players play d. Can you imagine if the Rangers had thrown Beukeboom in the terash because he had no offense in him at all? It be ridiculous. he was paid to pay defense. Let him play it. Ovechkin and Stamkos are paid to score a bunch of goals. Let them do it. Crosby is paid to get injured. Let him do it. L0L

Why? There's clearly quality popcorn flicks and crappy popcorn flicks. Just ebcause a movie isn't all dialogue doesn't mean it isn't quality. I don't think To kill A Mockingbird is an inherently better movie than Transformers 1 because it deals with racism and the other one is about alien robots. It's a better movie because it has better acting and writing. I would take Con Air over There Will be Blood any day as the latter form is mostly boring except a solid performance by a certain someone while Con Air hits all the rights notes and keeps you entertaining and invested in the movie through its 2+ hours.

This movie looks awesome. Even watching the original and reading the book so knowing what happens doesn't change the fact that this film looks magnificant. I've watched the trailer 10+ already and I never watch trailers more than once. Leo will probably be screwed out of his 11th Oscar win anyways.
-
My god, Ovechkin is so horrible. I mean, that paqthetic fool is a crap 2nd overall in goals scored and 7th in points. What a garbage player. LMAO Where all the anti Ovechkin and haters hiding? Why do people keep pretending to be experts when they keep being proven wrong? HAHAHA!' OVECHKIN > ALL DOUBTERS P.S. It's a mixed blessing and curse that it looks like the King will save Torturechips' job.

Already saw it.

Didn't agree with him at all times (which is a good thing else lfie be boring) but I enjoyed reading his reviews over the years. And, as Amentep mentioned, comapred to most 'prfoessional' reveiwers he didn't have a stick all the way up his butt (only half way) when it came to 'blockbuster/genre' type films. I'll miss reading him from tiem to time.

Stupid Rangers. Blame Gaborike for 'sucking'.. then he proceeds to have 2 points including game winner for Minnesota. Tellin' people. The players aren't the issue. the coach is in NY. Yeha, the Rangers' new guys did well in their first game as well but they haven't been tainted by Torrurechips' ****tyness as of yet. they will. At least Blueshirts have the best goalie so we always have a shot even with that garbage coach. FIRE TORTURECHIPS FIRE TORTURECHIPS FIRE TORTURECHIPS!!!!
-
"Gaborik to Columbus? I bet he's not thrilled about that!" he's estatic! he ahd a no trade clause and promptly waievd. I don't blame him - Torturchuips is a career destroyer! This 6-1 drubbing of Pens is a smoke screen. We'll go abck to winning 2-1 or 3-2 very soon when Torturechips starts bashing Clowe and co for scoring goals as Torturchips hates goalscoring. I want Rangers to do well, but there is a part of me that hopes Ranegrs miss playoffs so that peice of crap gets ****canned.
-
"Bryce Harper single handedly beats the Marlins" He threw a shutout along with his two homers? IMPRESSIVE. Then again, beating Miami - even singlehandedly - isn't impressive.
-
"Would be interesting to see him get some starts in the playoffs. " Vokoun hasn't won crap. there's a reaSOn why he ios no longer good enough to be a staRter. Meanwhile, Fleury has back to back finals appearances with a cup win. **** YEAH! "If you couldn't call Crosby injury-prone before this season, you definitely can now. Broken jaw in yesterday's game. " Nope. He's not injury prone. It was a freak accident.

"I was on BSN since it's founding, I started seeing the shift when they released Awakening. Then it got worst from there, culminating into the Dragon Age 2 fiasco." There was no shift. The BIO boards always had their share of 'haters'. When you sell millions of copies you will have your share of 'em. *shrug*

Hmmm... I loatehd DD1 first time I played it. A few months ago, i tried it, and enjoyed it. Then, pllayed DD2 and liked it. Was looking forward to the new game... That said, this seems kind of seedy. I am not impressed by this tatic,. Next we are gonna see EA/BIO starting a KS to finance the last 6 months of dev time for DA3. LMFAO LAME P.S. This isn't bashing the game itself. It looks like it will be very fun, and if I see it in stores I will pick it up most likely. But, screw their peice of crap mehtod. L0L KS Ford gonan start a KS. L0L

Well.. anything is possible... the SC is the Pens' to lose this season...

"My biggest problem with Snow White and the Huntsman was there must not have been money in the budget for some black hair dye. They even refer to her hair as raven black, but it was clearly brown." *shrug* Thankfully, I don't care about hair colour so much. if I did, I'd rate the movie 1/10 just for that. Little things thata re important matter... hair is not important. The fact they didn't have Snow White be a total pansy pacifist was enoguh to make me happy. I'm also surprised she didn't say soemthing cheesy like 'You cannot have my heart... but, you can have my love." *puke* L0L I wonder if/how they can/will bring back Theron's queen for part 2 b/c as far as I'm concerned that was her best acting job ever. I'd even go as far as claiming it was Oscar worthy if I thought the Oscars were worth ****.

Snow White & The Huntsman: Totally underappreciated movie. The 3 principle actors all hit home runs. Only dissapointment was SW's childhood friend. Much better than the silly Disneyfied movie. I love the dark edge to it all espicially with SW. And, for such one dimensional villains Theorn and the actor who played brother gave their characters some depth and at some level you can sympathize with them. Stewart is a much better actress than people give her She emotes well without feeling the need to overact like other master plebians like Nic Cage. 9/10

Men in Black 3: Meh.

"One is being released in mid year and another at the end of the year, so I don't get the article. It would be an issue if they had the same release month or day, I suppose, but I believe the audience is big enough to support both." Yeah. No doubt. NWN was also released at about the same time time frame as TOEE and POR2 as well as MW and DS3... BIO didn't cry. "Remember EA is about sales, and while TW3 has a good chance of being critically better received than DA3, it won't sell as well." Exactly. The so called internet 'experts' try to pretend that DA2 was some sort of bomb' when it sold 2mil+ copies in the first month. Twitcher is a friggin' joke. Hell, even the RPG Potato Codex made fun of Twitcher 2 and are really laughin' it up abotu Twitcher 3... But, that is the Codex which emans twitcher 3 is probably really good. Heh.

L0L Ovechkin 'struggling' is him being tied for 7th for goals, 6th off the elague lead. Caps' issue is NOT Ovi. Never was, and never will be.

"No big deal, because if you're a gamer and don't have a stable constant connection then you're doing something wrong." No. Sometimes internet connection is not up to the user. Sometimes it depends solely on the prod\ivde and sometimes the user doesn't have lots of choices. 'Always on' thing is dumb for this reason.
