Moulson for Vanek straight up? Maybe. Anything more, absolutely not.

Lets place our bets. Here are the main characters in BCS but that don't show up in BB. What are their fates? Options are "Dead" "Alive, but not in Jimmy's life" and "Alive, in Jimmy's life, just don't appear in BB." Kim: I think she lives, but leaves Jimmy, eventually leaving town entirely. Maybe, just maybe, Jimmy sees her again at the end of the show. Chuck: I bet he's still alive, and maybe is still in Jimmy's life as much as he is now. He's around, he's a mentor and a critic, but his electrophobia or whatever is even worse, and he's completely bedridden or something. I think he'll die before the end of the series, but not before the BB timeline. Howard Hamlin: Alive, but I think we could see the end of the HH story by the end of this season even. Something is going to come to a head between Kim and the Hammer soon. Nacho: I think he's dead. If not at the beginning of the BB time period then very shortly into that timeline. Jimmy mentions Ignacio to Walt and Jessie when they threaten him, so my bet is Tuco gets out of jail, finds out what Nacho did, and eventually kills him. Side note: at the beginning of this show I had trouble calling "Saul" by "Jimmy". (har har, "Calling Saul"). Now he's Jimmy in my head. I think a rewatch of BB with him as Jimmy will be very interesting.

Based on the fact that its about the only restaurant there at the moment, I'm going to assume Hydraulic Hearth

I'm hoping 24, too.

That was horseshit, she didn't even drink half that beer.

Yeah, it'll burn up his first year, but I think thats a "whatever" situation to Murray and Co. They want him on the team, and this keeps them from losing him to FA.

I think he has to start with the Sabres. Not 100% on that, though.

Ok, that'd be fine. Then we can sign Stamkos as our 3rd line winger.

OV. He's been the best player on the ice for the last decade. He skates, he scores, he's strong and scrappy, he carries the title of sniper and power forward just about equally. He's also fun, and funny, and dear god I hope he wins the cup this year.

Thats pretty cool, actually.

Oh come on now.

We'll see how inspired I get tomorrow evening. The wife's going out with some friends, and you know what they say: when the cat's away, the mouse will use that time to record and interpret advanced statistics to argue with strangers on the internet!

Seeing as I'm writing up benchmarking numbers for work right now I kinda want to throw a bunch of these stats in excel and see what kind of info we can squeeze out of this. Obviously they all have a drop, but what is the percent drop? How about power play time Reg. vs. Playoffs? ANALYTICS!

I'd say Kane is an obvious one, as well as Crosby and OV. Maybe John Tavares would be good, but IDK how much playoff time he has.

Yeah, thats what I'm wondering about, too. If I get the time tonight I'll look up some comparables.

Just for reference (Honestly. I'm not really sure if this number is especially bad or just ok compared with other players): Stamkos Goals-Per-Game: Regular season=.55 Playoffs =.36 Stamkos Points-Per-Game: Regular Season=.985 Playoffs = .72 And with the new poll, I would totally pay him the big money, I just don't want to give him the status that he wants. If he's willing to come play on Eichels with and wear an A they can give him a max deal as far as I'm concerned.

I don't want either of those things. This it the biggest hangup with Stammer coming here, honestly. Murray basically promised ROR he would play center, and he has earned the Captain title this year so hard. I don't really want both of our theoretical future centers being moved to wing; I want Eichel at center for the next 15 years. Stamkos definitely will need to be center, I don't know his feelings on the Captaincy, maybe an "A" would be enough for him. They only way I see this being resolved is Murray/DD saying to ROR "OK, we're going to move you to wing, but you are our Captain next year. You cool with that?" and ROR saying yes. Then your top two lines are Kane-Stamkos-ROR and Girgensons-Eichel-Reinhart; maybe ennis in there for Girgs. I'm not really planning on it though. For my money, I'd rather they bring in Mike Hoffman from Ottawa, stick him on Eichels wing with Reinhart, put Ennis up top with ROR and Kane, and watch Hoffman score 35.

I pretty much agree with all of this.

I think there could be a bigger reveal coming Re: Jimmy being awful to Chuck. Maybe something with the wife, or something worse with the Dad. Chuck really, really, doesn't like Jimmy.

Is that really a spoiler? I guess I just mean that he's not a main character. He could be in more than that depending on how stuff goes (get hype, for those that know what I mean). I'm just saying man can not live on Ian McShane alone, in regards to GoT anyways. EDIT: Threw spoiler tags on the original.

This is exactly how I feel about the Walking Dead thread. Just as a heads up, . That said, yes, you should watch it/read the books. Then, when GRRM dies before finishing them, I'll have a bigger group to commit ritual suicide with.

Hamilton just reported it, too. Odd. But maybe didn't have much of a choice?

Where'd you see that, dudacek?
