  1. By the way, I’d go Bertuzzi, Kaspar, 2023 1st if that got it done, assuming of course a contract extension.
  2. These last two episodes could have been the series finale for me. Or done except for one Gene episode. Not that I’m complaining that we still have four episodes.
  3. Most depressing Tigers season I can remember. I really thought they’d take a step forward. And if you had told me the White Sox would only be .500 at the break, I’d figure the division would be up for grabs with the Tigers right in the mix. I do more than ever we have enough good young pitching, even if the exact combo isn’t Mize-Skubal-Manning. And impossible for the offense to be so bad next year, no matter who they throw out there.
  4. One was a blogger, possibly even a fake account. But Jeff Marek, who is also just speculating, is legit.
  5. But every time I see there has been a new post in this thread, I rush to see whether it’s announcing a Klingberg signing.
  6. I would have loved Gaudreau on the Wings at the contract CBJ got him for.
  7. I’m actually a part time grad student at UBC right now, where Ono is coming from. Many similarities between UBC and Michigan including size and reputation. Not much of a football program here though!
  8. Has Chris Illitch put out a statement yet that the rebuild is over?
  9. Go after Gaudreau or Nylander? I wouldn’t rule it out.
  10. Yeah no reason they can’t come 9th. But 8th is a big leap up - missed by 26 points this year.
  11. 2 years @ $2.5/yr seems ok for Kubalik.
  12. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20220708-how-better-call-saul-bettered-breaking-bad Gilligan stepped back from the writers' room of Better Call Saul after season three, leaving Gould as sole showrunner. He returned for the final season however to write the penultimate script and to direct three episodes, including the season six, part two premiere Point and Shoot. It was during the filming of this episode's opening scene in July 2021 that Bob Odenkirk suffered a heart attack. "It was just terrible," says Gilligan, who struggles to recall the incident without becoming emotional. "I've learned since that most people survive a heart attack. He had full-on cardiac arrest, which most people do not survive. It was awful. He died right in front of us." He credits the quick actions of various people, including the on-set emergency medical technician, for saving Odenkirk's life. "They saved his life right in front of me," he says. "I'm standing there like an idiot. I don't know what to do. Just completely useless… We were sure he wasn't going to make it." After being rushed to hospital, Odenkirk made a full recovery (possibly, suggests Gilligan, because he was in such good shape from filming action movie Nobody). "We didn't even know at that point if we were ever going to finish the show or not," he says, "but knowing he was going to survive helped an awful lot. Those were some very dark days." Odenkirk returned to set a few weeks later, to complete the scene that he had left unfinished. "It’s a very dramatic scene near the beginning of the episode," says Gilligan. "Two thirds of it was shot before he had a cardiac arrest, a third of it after. I defy you to notice the difference."
  13. I guess live-streaming didn’t exist yet back in 2004 or whenever. Even drug barons had to make do with camcorders.
  14. “Keep on telling the lie you’ve been telling about him”. (or words to that effect, I may have got a word or two wrong).
  15. I would be shocked if it were not Bedard. I’m biased because he is from North Vancouver, we have been hearing about him for years, and I’ve seen him summer scrimmage with pros at our arena. No one has been this hyped since McDavid.
  16. Incidentally, I read that Datsyuk recently announced his KHL retirement.
