My only complaint is not enough Kelly Macdonald. Are they writing her out of the series? She's had, maybe, 5-mins of screen time this season...

Narcisse is a great character... easily one of the best, most interesting, villains on TV.

Richard working for 'Nucci? Nuff said.

it's not just the spending, but the lack of importance they place on drafting dmen, in addition to finding the right talent and developing them in the first place. the stats in the 2nd half of the article are noteworthy and alarming.

but hey, this team doesn't have a cap problem, so what's the big deal?

If they concentrate more resources on finding and developing players at the front end of their careers, they will likely find themselves saving money in the long run.

3 of the last 4 episodes were pretty slow IMO. Last episode was pretty good. It's all coming together though for these last 3. But definitely a good season so far.
- mochoson


Really wish they didn't kill of Jimmy Darmody, he was a great character, but I cant wait for Richard Harrow to get back to business. My favorite character. Is it just me or has Nucky's gangsterness gone a bit soft. Oh and it was great to see Mueller go back to being Van Alden. It was a great moment to see him snap back to himself.

Loved watching Kelly, and listening... but got tired of her character. I am also very tired of Chalky. Very 1 dimensional character IMO.

Because it does Mcginn no good to play there. Why have him play 10 minutes a game when he can get top line minutes in the minors to get better. Look at Coots, he spent his career on the 3rd line and he isn't improving much. Young players need to play. You waste their potential on 3rd and 4th lines because those lines don't get much ice time

Yeah, just look at Mike Richards!

Right. It's a philosophy problem. They've always tried to buy their way to goodness whereas other teams actually build "teams" via careful player addition, drafting, and development.

Not to mention that they have a habit of buying high and selling low (a la Kris Versteeg).

Yea, lets put the fact we scored 2 goals in the last games behind us. Even when we play the 2 worst teams in the league...besides us, and one of the goalies was 3rd string. Woo Hoo.

Lets go FLyers!!!!!

Lets go Fl...... ah F it. Lets go HOME.

you can go home.

I'm still going to root hard for my favorite hockey team. Is that a crime? If you're gonna preach to everyone how much they suck blah blah blah then why the (frank) are you watching them in thr first place?

She was Nucky's moral center, keeping him away from going full-on Tony Soprano. Now that she's not there, Nucky's kind of directionless.

I personally love Chalky and all his contradictions.

agree on all points, but i like nucky's gentler demeanor this season so far. i have no doubt he'll lay the smack down again when the plot demands it.

Watching hockey central up here in Kanida..they are saying that PK Subban is not really happy with the way he is being treated in Mtl. I can't remember if he is a UFA or not, but if he is, I would be all over trying to acquire him. Mtl would be fools to lose him, and I say it's 80% certain he would stay, but if he is a UFA and wants to test the market, I'd throw the farm at him.

she just didn't add all that much for me, and i found her accent grating eventually. i love chalky's 1 dimensional design. he's got that permascowl. just makes me laugh when i watch him. he's so mad all the time.
