NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - FRESH DOWN THERE PHASE NINETEEN!

Maybe this is why you don't like buffalo chicken pizza. Is your tongue coated in dark chocolate?

Maybe. Chocolate is best as dark as your pizza-bastardizing soul.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

It disturbs me that you accept "buffalo chicken pizza" as a pizza. Chicken doesn't belong on a pizza any more than pineapple does, surely. You know where buffalo chicken fits in nicely? Salad. It's delicious, especially with your favorite, ranch dressing.

RANCH?!

He liked The Last Jedi, so ALL of his tastes are f***ed.

I don't know Star Wars, so I need to understand how bad this is. If The Last Jedi was a Flyers 4th Liner, who would it be?

• Derek Grant -- Not a good experience, but you never have to think about it again.
• Nate Thompson -- Also a bad experience, but you think you're done with it and then it suddenly matters again in a few movies before disappearing for good.
• Nic Deslauriers -- Here is your 4 year/movie anchor constantly at the forefront of the story.

 

[BernieParent]

Bernie has set me up like Pit used to do. Perfection. I did a good Chuckle Out Loud (COL) when I saw his pick. Delicate Bernie! Guttural Bernie! Embarassed Bernie!

I can't remember if I picked a spokesbeing yet. I wanted Andrea, but some aggressive slob has maligned me by already taking her. I think I stalled by taking more Fifth Rounders. So I think I have to draft one. I don't feel like going to the first page to check, so we're just gonna take a dive and hope I am correct.

With the pick that I now pick, I pick Michael's long-time coworker:

The Archangel Gabriel

Gabriel is The Almighty's own Spokesbeing, and if he's good enough for YHWH he's probably good enough for me. In fact, this job might be considered a downgrade on his part, but after millennia of relaying massively important news (and maybe killing off several humans involved with a heavy dose of ionizing radiation from his extra-dimensional presence) I'm sure he'll be plenty pleased to hype up my team and announce important news like the new Zamboni paint scheme or the new food truck, which we are currently building. It'll give him some downtime before trumpeting in The End of Days. Maybe he can arrange to have our food truck cater The Judgement. Gotta work those inside deals.

Be not afraid, @ajgoal. Guilty ajgoal! Swanky ajgoal! Lame ajgoal!

It's more like the Flyers developmental process as a whole. You have a player that does X well so that's what SHOULD be focused on but instead we got Y and then for years later we have people with their head in their asses arguing about how the developmental process isn't to blame.

From your examples it can't be #1 because it's constantly brought up by people that THINK it was good so it's unavoidable. Hell, Rian Johnson (the Director) made a comment about it just yesterday. With #2 they actually essentially scrapped everything that happened in the second movie in the third because they didn't have a plan with the trilogy from the start. Johnson essentially dumped on everything that was built in the first movie and left very little to move forward with for the third. Finally, see the response to #2 for #3.

Those are not fair comparables at all It was shit, but not THAT shit.

EDIT: I want to be perfectly clear - it was SHIT.

TLJ is the Shayne Gostisbehere of Star Wars movies. Hated for not playing it safe, with perhaps an unnecessary adventure here or there, but it’s overall impact is that it’s arguably one of the top 3 SW films and certainly in the top 5.

This is the most unacceptable and upsetting thing I've read in my entire life.

Hayes

Super expensive but absolute dogshit quality, dumb as f***, makes you facepalm every few minutes, the flash with zero substance excites the casuals (and mja, unfortunately), and does a whole lot of damage because of it's importance and placement within the whole.

Hmm. You know, I want to repeat myself and say "It's shit, but it's not THAT shit" ... but it might be exactly that shit. It has that red dust flying up, which is cool, and those kick-ass crystal foxes, and the kamikaze scene, which almost make up for the rest of it enough to not be Hayesworthy. But then they killed off the hot sister and persisted with the loser sister, who f***ing sucks. They made another "cantina" in the form of that stupid casino. They raced dinosaurs. They had a fight with a ghost, which was f***ing stupid. I wish I were better at Math so I could measure it.

tl;dr Hayes sucks, TLJ sucks.

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Do you agree with me that the loser sister f***ing sucks?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Do we agree that having an entire movie based about how ANYONE can be the hero/jedi and following it up with Rey being a f***ING Palpatine is f***ing stupid?

Who are the hot and loser sisters?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Who are the hot and loser sisters?

The one that completely disappeared in the third movie and the one that got blown up.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Who are the hot and loser sisters?

The hot sister is the one who pressed the button to detonate the bombs in her own ship at the beginning. The loser sister is that grandmotherly dweeb who narced on lardass when he was trying to get off the ship, and later crashed her own ship into the red dust because she's a shit driver.

 

[Striiker]

Oh f*** me I forgot about this part

 

[mja]

This is the most unacceptable and upsetting thing I've read in my entire life.

I said what I said.

Search your (authentic fan) feelings. You know it's true.

And it's certainly not Hayes, given that the franchise immediately threw it under the bus once the authentic fans howled.

TROS is a cowardly abomination that the authentics think is no different than TLJ. It's the Keith Yandle of Star Wars movies.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Still stand by it would have not been nearly as ridiculous is she just force pullled the ship to her instead of her floating to it but who am I?

I have no memory of either of these people.

But I hate nearly every new character they made in those movies. Poe and Ben were pretty good. Everyone else either sucked or were ruined.

It isn't any different. They're both shit.

How do you know Ben is a cool person? He didn't even have ONE SPOKEN LINE. Just a Han Solo shrug and a smile.

P.S. They wanted to kill Poe in the first movie.
