woods-racer Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Passed to whom? O'Reilly was really missed today Yes. But we where in it for 60 minutes without him or Ennis. They didn't toy with us. Respect was there. No mistake or they win (Sabres). The last 5(?) years. I would never say this. Quote
Weave Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 The same reason poor people chant Death to Amarica on the streets of the Middle East. We hate Pittsburgh for their freedom? Quote
WildCard Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Posted February 22, 2016 We hate Pittsburgh for their freedom?So I should probably hate New Zealend then, right? Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 So I should probably hate New Zealend then, right? No. New Zealand gave us Peter Jackson, who gave us the LotR movies. Unhateable country. Quote
WildCard Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) No. New Zealand gave us Peter Jackson, who gave us the LotR movies. Unhateable country.But he also gave us the Hobbit movies... Edited February 22, 2016 by WildCard Quote

ubkev Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 No. New Zealand gave us Peter Jackson, who gave us the LotR movies. Unhateable country. And then he remade King Kong and undid all the good he had ever done. Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 But he also gave us the Hobbit movies... 1) Much worse source material 2) I think the studio shares a lot of blame And then he remade King Kong and undid all the good he had ever done. Botching a remake doesn't even come close to undoing the goodwill he built up from the LotR. Some of us don't view this as a positive Yea, but you also love Mike Weber :p Quote
WildCard Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Posted February 22, 2016 Always hating the new posters.I could always welcome him like I did MODO and ask him if he's Yuri. Quote

qwksndmonster Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) 1) Much worse source materialTrue Blue terrible adaption apologism! And do you really think Peter flippin' Jackson didn't have the final say on how many movies they made? The genius who made LOTR had to answer to his studio? Yeah right. And: I love Jackson's King Kong. What a nerdy labor of love. Edited February 22, 2016 by qwksndmonster Quote
Thorner Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 No. New Zealand gave us Peter Jackson, who gave us the LotR movies. Unhateable country. Can I hate him cause he can grow an awesome beard the likes of which I can't even come close to matching? But he also gave us the Hobbit movies... They aren't that bad!! True Blue terrible adaption apologism! And do you really think Peter flippin' Jackson didn't have the final say on how many movies they made? The genius who made LOTR had to answer to his studio? Yeah right. And: I love Jackson's King Kong. What a nerdy labor of love. Precisely how I would sum up my feelings about The Hobbit movies. Quote
WildCard Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Posted February 22, 2016 Thorny, you're killing me. Have you read 'The Hobbit'??? Hell, I can even take him changing it a bit, but there is literally not one redeeming quality about that movie. Well, there's the guy who plays Bilbo, and that's about it Quote

Well, there's the guy who plays Bilbo, and that's about it Haha, that's the beauty of film, two people can watch the exact same movie and come away from it with different opinion! I like the Hobbit movies for their acting, the character moments, the links to LOTR, and yes, even some of the action set-pieces. New Zealand is on full display throughout and is as beautiful as ever. The score is also amazing. The Hobbit movies don't hold a candle to LOTR, for a myriad of reasons. But to me they don't have to, as their existence doesn't take anything away from the masterpiece that is LOTR. The simply exist as a lesser, but still enjoyable (for me) prequel trilogy. Quote

And: I love Jackson's King Kong. What a nerdy labor of love. I just re-read the series last month. The Hobbit is so far from LotR in quality it's really hard to fathom. And while Jackson may have had final say, if you don't think he was facing significant downward pressure you're nuts. I didn't hate King Kong, but it was decidedly meh. Quote
elroy16 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 The cross checking penalty on Eichel, which almost immediately led to Pitt's 2nd goal, was a load of . Hagelin pulled a douche bag move by swinging his stick into Lehner's chest after a save. I was happy to see 15 go after him and didn't think what he did deserved a penalty. Quote

Hagelin pulled a douche bag move by swinging his stick into Lehner's chest after a save. I was happy to see 15 go after him and didn't think what he did deserved a penalty. Hagelin was swinging his stick at McGinn, who had been nutmegging him with his own stick. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Hagelin was swinging his stick at McGinn, who had been nutmegging him with his own stick. I saw that play the way elroy did - looked like a dangerous attempt to dislodge the puck from Lehner's mid-section (where it was being absorbed for a face-off). I shared Eichel's evident dismay at the call, but was also glad to see him lay some lumber on the guy after he took liberties with the goalie. Quote
elroy16 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Hagelin was swinging his stick at McGinn, who had been nutmegging him with his own stick. Ah, I missed that part. He definitely backhanded Lehner directly in the chest. Considering how much pushing and shoving goes of when guys just skate up to goalies, I thought the penalty on Jack was a call. Quote

I know I would have been. Quote
Stoner Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Yeah, he hit Lehner, but I think he was pissed off at McGinn. I know I would have been. For the nutmegging? Quote
Taro T Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Just realized this now. W/ the loss, the Sabres officially can't reach 100 points this season. :( (Was hoping they'd get into March before that was reality.) Quote
