Ok so forgive me for being...weird...if you think this is weird...

But eyes are my thing. I like eyes. I like the symbolism and the...I dunno...lore...surrounding the eye, what with the window to your soul type thing. It's a little more than looking at my better half and saying "your eyes are pretty" ya know?

So halfway through that last episode when Dean got that last needle stuck into him...ugh that creeped me out. It was the most creeped out I've ever been during the show I'm a weird kid. The way his eyes just...turned

I digress. Season thus far has been epic. I love Crowley

Not weird at all. Dean played that role perfectly. It was actually disappointing they only had it last about 3 episodes it seems. Yea he still has the mark of Cain but Dean as a demon was great TV to watch. Maybe it comes back but I think they could have kept that story going longer.

I don't have a lot of confidence that he has a good handle on slotting players in roles that allow them to best utilize their respective talents. I also don't agree with how he runs his lineups at times...but I'm not the coach and he is...so I'm just hoping he doesn't do something with Ghost that could be detrimental, since he'll be the one in control.

They look worse than the Flyers in the shootout. Jagr almost lost the puck while skating towards the net.

I was at a buddy's house last season. He's a big homebrew guy and we were drinking his new batch.

Anyhow, his router was down and I wanted to watch a game. I had another friend's login info, so I went on my iPod to watch and clicked on the Flyers game to just see if it worked...it did, so I decided on GCL.

As long as you have a spare HDMI port on the TV, chromecast is easy to hook up. 3 minutes from box to watch

We had trouble at the office. Each supervisor has a TV in their office an my boss got the idea to use it to show us our performance numbers in an easy manner.

For some reason the office wifi gave him all sorts of troubles. He relocated the router and it was fine afterwards

Well don't forget 1) the Mark is still a thing

2) Cain said after he kills Abaddon (who was HAWT AS (frank) btw) to come back to his house and kill him...that could hold the answer to the mark, maybe...I unno... and

3) that lunatic is still hunting Dean, who now is human, and not invincible. He should have just killed that dude. I hated him a lot.

EDIT: With the eyes thing I was talking about when he was cleansed, btw

Is that Jeremy Renner's brother or something? Reminded me of him. Yea you are right still a lot of crazy stuff going on.

By the way the season 3 Ruby was still the hottest character on the show. I think that is Katie Cassidy

That's strange. I had no trouble. I even swap it to the bedroom set at times for the kids to watch netflix.

The way he words it seems as if it was a player(s) that they wanted but we're unwilling to part ways with bschenn... If it were me I'd throw the brother in, that's assuming it's something decent.

I was just thinking the same thing. If they can get a good top pair guy, or a younger player who projects to be a top pair guy soon.

I don't particularly like to get all conspiracy crazy but I think this so-called coburn snafu was a rouge to make thei bargaining position seem stronger. Unfortunately these other teams aren't as dumb as say, philadelphia media sport outlets. I know ppl wanna see the flyers tank this year, but there's a serious elephant in the room here, the nucleus of this team: Giroux, Voracek, Mason, Simmonds and yes coburn, are in their primes. As much as we wanna wait for these Dprospects, there's a good chance the flyers miss a huge window of opportunity to win. Within the next calendar year they really need to clamp down and figure out what they wanna do. Iersonally would rather not entrust my fate to a (frank)ing lottery pick, just saying.... Gawd I'm so pissed right now
