I want to watch it, but haven't had a chance. It seems like I'd watch it kind of like the last season that I watched of Burn Notice; get really into into it, but having to make an effort to actually sit down through it at times.

Watch Season two. I watched it before season one. Season one was okay but 2... damn.

No, but I watched Hemlock Grove. It was better than I thought it was going to be.
- mayorofangrytown

Hemlock grove has one of the best werewolf transformation scenes on film. Some of the rest of it was blah. But man, some of their concepts were neat, and well put together. I'd recommend it.

Most creepy show on tv an they get away with a lot for non premium channel show. Very happy they decided to make each season it's own story.

So far only Dads and Black List have been much watch for me. I haven't watched Sleepy Hollow. I'll give it a go on your recommendation. Is it better than Grimm because that's what I was imagining? Grimm lost me about mid season yr 1.

I've really liked Black List a lot.

- mayorofangrytown



Big fan of the Black List. Spader is great in it.

If Berube accomplishes what he says he wants to do. I bet the Flyers defenseman start looking a whole lot better.

gave up 2 goals in 2 games and the mtl game was 0-1 into the third. defense is not the problem. i hope he lights a freakin fire under this team and they start playing like they care

Defense is the problem, because they get hemmed in their own end and the goalie has to make a lot of stops. Defense is more than just keeping the puck out of the net, it's keeping the other team from dominating the shots against category.

The 5-man units in D-zone role had trouble breaking out of zone against its own forecheckers today in the 5-on-5 simulations at morning skate. Hoping things only go uphill from here.

true enough. i meant defense is not the only or worst problem. much of the trouble getting out of the zone can be attributed to forwards not giving the D any help in the D zone. the major issue with this squad is lack of intensity and has been for a while

Oh TV conversation, great.


Has everyone/anyone watched Orange is the New Black on Netflix? One of the best shows I've seen in a few years.

- shekkie


Highly, highly recommend "Orange is the new Black". Very good television.

Agreed. The transition game is the big issue. Gotta move the puck out of their end much better.

Carolina had so much offensive zone puck possession that they outshot us 17-5 in the first on Sunday. It was embarrassing to watch as a fan, and evidently as a GM, too.

Has anyone else been watching Sleepy Hollow? It's become my only "must watch" show as of now.
- jmatchett383

I watch it. That with The Blacklist and Hostages. Waiting for American Horror Story. Just finished up Under the Dome.

I can't really think of a realistic trade that would improve the breakout.

The Flyers entered the third period against the 'Canes, down by one goal and managed THREE shots.

If they're willing to move Schenn, Couturier, Simmonds or Read, I do.

They won't improve it via trade by offering a pick or Tye McGinn

I had to steel myself every Wednesday night to watch it.

Ok, ok, ok, am I ready. I think I'm ready. Maybe I should pee first. Oh and feed the fish. Yeah ok, I'm ready. Maybe I'll just put the kitchen light on. The fish are particularly fascinating tonight. I think I have to pee again. Ok and press play NOW!

It's a shame we couldn't land one of the premiere collegiate free agent defensemen the last couple years. That would have accelerated the growth on the back end.

How does Carchidi have a job? Seriously, I am asking someone who may know.
