I enjoyed it. I was a huge fan of the original and there’s plenty of Easter eggs. They’ll never duplicate the originals but I thought they did a decent job moving the franchise into a different generation, which I believe was the ultimate goal even if they stumbled big time on the 2016 one. 

Regardless, it’ll probably be better than watching whatever the Devils drag onto the ice. 

There was a time I’d avoid doing stuff at the time games were on. This is no longer that time.

Many years ago they re-released the original in the theaters and I took my daughter to see it, she's been a fan ever since. The new one has the kid from Stranger Things in it, which of course makes her want to see it more.

I don't need every movie to be a cinematic masterpiece, and that's not what I'm expecting here. Ghosts plus blowing some sh!t up is a good way to spend an hour or two. 

Yeah, I'm plenty happy with being entertained.  And everytime I watch Roadhouse (one of the best Bad Movies ever made), I'm very much entertained.

And I've always been of the strong belief that there's "critic's movies" and "people's movies".  Critics just loved "The Royal Tenenbaums".  I thought that movie sucked absolute ass.  We sat through the entire thing, waiting for it to get better (Gene Hackman briefly spiced things up upon his appearance, but that was about it).  The credits couldn't scroll upscreen fast enough.

Sometimes I'll record older movies and watch them, for the hell of it.  Watched "The China Syndrome" (1979) the other day...still holds up, even with the obviously dated aspects (and always a hoot to see now much-older actors in their much-younger days)...of course, the Three Mile Island incident would happen just three weeks after its mainsteam release.

If I make it to the third period today, I'll be pleasantly surprised.  I'm expecting another mess of a game.

Don't want to pick on Jesper too much given how he's played since a slow start, but maybe start by not sucking at the BEGINNING of games?  (Obviously referring to the whole team here)

Sorry Damon, you're one of the losers...not that what you're saying is wrong, just that I don't want to hear from someone who's often been a part of the problem, and doesn't ever seem to evolve.

I was in MTL all week and just got back. Didn't pay much attention to the team or games beside checking the score the other night and going "oh boy".

Not too confident about this one either.

So since i kind of assume we'll lose let's hope this is the nail in the coffin for the coaching staff

Reading that, I immediately thought the same thing.  He wants to simplify the end of games?  Kid, you've been on the ice....you should know what the problem is, and the problem has clearly been your sh!tty start to most games.  Your team has actually, surprisingly, managed to play decent in the 3rd period of most games.  

I don't understand how someone who is actually on the team and in the lineup every single night could mis-interpret the state of the team so badly.

Running out of bodies fast 

Precautionary as in Covid possibility, or....trade possibility?  I assume the former, but I think everyone expects the latter at some point this season, and with the way we've been performing lately, I guess it's not too early to declare ourselves sellers...?

With the way things are going I’d assume covid but you make a great point about being sellers and having Subban sit. He has a lot of suits to pack if he gets traded

So I don’t get if it’s precautionary for Covid. Was he contact traced or some nonsense? Cause if it’s Covid he either has it or doesn’t . No grey area there to me.

I was wondering the same thing.... that's what led me to believe that maybe it was trade-related.  I haven't heard of anyone else held out for "possibly Covid contact".

I’ll assume he’s being traded. No reason to keep him any longer anyway. This a burning, sinking ship of a season.
