Yeah, FNL is soooo good and I know it's good, and it entertains me most of the time, but then something Sad happens to those nice boys and I switch to Bob's Burgers to forget the pain, lol. Hence why I'm still on season 3 after watching it on and off for way too long.

I'd forgotten about those fics, and upon rereading, apparently for good reason. Two great ideas, two completely unfortunate executions :(

I have tons of patience for drama and heavy shit but still found FNL to be a hard show to binge watch. Mainly because of the unevenness caused by the show's difficulty finding its niche and the constant cancellation drama, but also because of little things like some irritating actor tics and the fact there's only so many times you can watch a football game being decided at the last second by a hail mary pass, an obscure rule, or both. Probably the only thing rewarding about binging the show is that you get a de facto supercut of Coach/Mrs. Coach and all the times Riggins was an intense lolzy badboy weirdo with a heart of gold.

I'm glad it's not just me, then. The first season was almost perfect imo, but the second really dropped off in terms of plot development and quality too (see: anything that happened to Landry that season). I still want to finish but sometimes I feel bad for struggling through a show that so many people think of as the Best Ever.

(also my fandomy heart wishes there was at least one gay character. I know it aired in 2006 and those characters had enough problems without having to be gay in Texas, but come on writers. that would be more interesting to me than just watching Julie Taylor being a dick to Saracen 5ever)

UnReal is my favorite. The second season is kicking off tonight and it's just as savage.

I'm going to be super surprised if the Pens don't win the Cup on Thursday. Mostly I just feel bad for Thornton and Marleau.

I hate the Pens...

I do too but at least I don't have to hear about West>East. A Cups finally end up in the East.

I know the Pens haven't won since 2009 but I was really hoping when the Hawks and Kings got eliminated that a new and/or interesting team would win e_e of all the teams that were left after that the Pens winning has got to be the most boring of all the potential outcomes. And irritating, because Pens fans. Stupid hockey.

I'm really not looking forward to the jokes on /r/hockey about the "pattern" starting over again and how this clearly means the Hawks win next year.

If that happens we have truly entered the darkest timeline.

Re: Game Day Thread, June 6, 2016

If those jokes happen, I hope they get shot down by a lot of pointing and laughing at the Hawks' cap situation. (Cap forecast to go down without the escalator again, by the way.)

Now I'm glad I will be working that night...I don't want to see sad Sharks

The Bruins situation not looking great either, although I suppose they'd have a solid three years to get themselves sorted out, not that I'm confident that they're going to do that with Sweeney at the helm.

Re: Game Day Thread, June 6, 2016

Two years, though, no? (2009, 2010, 2011... 2016, 2017, 2018...)

Ptbbbth, counting, who cares about that kind of thing. ;)

Probably not Sweeney tbh

(sorry....)

da
I'm a Bruins fan and I fully expect them to be Not Great for the foreseeable future but I'm weirdly accepting of it? Some people forget with all the recent success of Boston sports teams that all of them were wicked bad for a wicked long time. I'm prepared for this and I know what to do!

(leaving the "wicked"s in there, feel free to mock)

Matt Murray now within one win of tying the record of Stanley Cup playoffs wins by a rookie (held by Ward, Roy, and Hextall).

I keep meaning to link to that short video series on a handful of this year's draft prospects that keeps getting promoted onto my twitter feed, and of course now I can't find it. (The Road? Maybe?)

Re: Prospects and Juniors

@theroad

I'm surprised that Twitter name wasn't taken. Honestly.

Re: Prospects and Juniors

[(Anonymous)]

I will blame my twitter client for not spitting that out in an auto complete or in the first few scrolls of search, but really... Anyway, thanks!

Pshaw. Obvs, the pattern is three in six, so it'll be Kings turn next year.
