Maybe Drouin would make the Lightning a better team, maybe, but heres' the problem: if you're counting on an 18 year old rookie in order to be competitive, you're not close. Likewise, if you're concerned that sending an 18 year old kid back to junior is going to be a "devastating blow" to his confidence, you picked the wrong kid.

It used to be that a kid straight out of the draft had to prove he belonged in the NHL, and it didn't happen very often. Now it seems like they have to prove that they don't belong. That seems wrong to me.

Habs seem well prepared for Randy Carlyle's Leafs. They are using a line of Parros-Prust-Moen in today's practice.

You should go scuba diving and find all the glorious easter eggs hidden under the sea, like now.

Maybe he should learn spanish so he could better communicate with the locals.

A lot of the side missions are boring as hell. Especially the one with the submarine to get a lousy $10. Took me 2 hours to go around the damn island....

38 hours of playing time in less than a (frank)ing week? That's just (frank)ing stupid.
- Pecafan Fan

It was addicting. Still... way to short for a game that cost that much to make and had all that hype.

After the better part of the summer or more anxiously awaiting GTA5, how do you feel now that it took you a measely 3 afternoons to finish the game?

Dude's left is off the chart. He busted Cloud's right eye with a single straight in the first round.

I agree Jeff. While he would probably put up his points, why not let him grow a bit, and once the team progresses a bit, his addition will make them that much better.

It's always been short story modes, but trying to get the 100% checklist. This time around having to get 100% in all missions, being able to replay them will take forever. Me personally I rarely get gold in the missions. Especially the high speed chase ones that you can't damage your car. Kinda ridiculous.
