GDT: Grand Ole Motley. Oilers v Predators - 6PM SNW

[Drivesaitl]

I didn’t mind it after awhile. Just kind of treated it as a fantasy show and not lotr.

The loving orcs that have families and who don’t want to go to war has to be the dumbest shit out there though.

Isn't it odder that people have characterized and sociological expectations of mythical creatures? "Wait, in reality they're supposed to act like this, no, not reality"
Dorks vs Orcs. sorry.

Nothing is weirder than my posts on weird things.

Hot take but I find the people who cry about losing Broberg in every thread and the people rooting for Broberg to struggle in every thread to both be equally annoying.

What about the people who want people to stop talking about Broberg in every thread?

Broberg am I right

uhhh it’s not weird to expect “mythical creatures” to act how the author described them to.

Wait, wait, wait…….we lost Broberg!!!??! Why is this the first time I’m hearing about it!!!

 

[Boner Pills]

Broberg am I right

lmao...oh man. That's like the company email that everyone keeps hitting reply all, and people start freaking out," STOP HITTING REPLY ALL!" And then somebody replies again "ok".

In all fairness name a screen adaptation of a book that actually sticks to the author’s original story. I’m sure there’s some but majority are just that, adaptations. Bigger road blocks for show writers these days are the criteria that studios force them to meet. “Put a girl in it and make her gay” (South Park quote not mine)

Oilers hockey is like the gym. You don't go for a few months and you're like wtf am I even doing here but then you get back into the routine and get used to it until it's worth it

I just can’t. It’s blasphemy.

Maybe they feel the need to get Hyman going because he’s been disappointing to start the year.

But if were going to load McDrai I wish we would spread the talent out more. I have a hard time seeing that second line doing much. Maybe eventually Savoie plays on top line.

Call me crazy, but I actually Corey Perry would work on that top line. He has great hands around the net and won't allow McDrai to be manhandled. That leaves Hyman for RNH and Arvidsson and a third line of Skinner-Henrique-Brown.

It's actually impressive how awful that show is.

Low grade fanfic, with an extremely high budget. Completely disrespects Tolkien's lore.

Doesn't even get the order the rings were created in right.

It's actually impressive how awful that show is.

These kind of shows are hilarious. They pay a shit ton of money for licensing. If they just stuck to the script and lore they would be better. But some scrub thinks they can write better than some historical author and then execs are surprised when no one likes it lol

 

[FlameChampion]

Kind of surprised that Pickard starting. I don’t mind it though. Hopefully we get decent goaltending tonight.

It'll be nice if we can get both of them off and running.

Fantasy can move in any direction it wants and isn't real. Do you have expectations of how unicorns behave and that they only eat multicolored candyfloss and fart rainbows? I'm ribbing.

 

[oobga]

Broberg am I right

Best there ever was or will be.

It's actually impressive how awful that show is.

Somehow they figured out how to drag that fan fiction out 3 more seasons. I could barely stay awake watching most of season 2.

This is the post I wish I made. Slow clap. haha

Yup, “The Witcher” comes to mind as well. Tragic. Cavill was brilliant in it

Yeah I can think of worse adaptations. In general sequels to sequels are garbage. POTA managed to at least stay interesting.

Isn't it telling though? If your creative license and imagination consists only of buying out prior shows it stands to reason what you end up coming up with will be unwatchable dreck. Imagination creates original work, stories and themes. The absence of it creates endless sequels, copycats and spinoffs. Oh look whats in the theaters, looks away....

Bro really? That's an insult to Tolkien.

Safe to assume this is the game that gets Drai going ham?

It should be. This page isn't even getting going. Hows about dem Oilers eh?

I love the Oilers declawing the preds. Hopefully no snarl in kitty tonight but I suspect there will be.

Sure fantasy can go any direction that doesn’t mean it isn’t stupid… especially considering it’s source material.

 

[McDrai]

Broberg am I right

Better than Lidstrom ever was

 

[Messrules11]

I don't expect Broberg to rack up the points but scoring is good for the confidence.

Underlying numbers on the St. Louis Blues is about as underlying as you can get. Without context they mean next to nothing.

Enough Broberg talk, who gives a shit. Go to the Blues board already.
