You were so dead set on him being too slow based on the wjc's

Lol he just said it today or yesterday and that Vorobyov is faster, even though skating is his biggest weakness.

You can watch the game on tape if you wanted if you go to the Replay section. It's not up now though so who knows when. But it was pure Rubtsov, even in his first Q game and playing wing and barely playing this year in big minutes, and the kind of game that shows you what he's got and why the Flyers were so keen on him: focused on every detail up and down the ice, and while he isn't flashy per se, he can dazzle at any moment when it's an opportune time to do so. He's basically forward Provorov stylistically. Even has that same tireless work effort but stoic, sort of robotic demeanor.

What was the final song played in the last episode? What second world was introduced? Describe the look on Ed Harris's face in his final shot of the season.

Provide optimal answers to all 3, and prove yourself, guest.

Is that code for The OA because I just watched all 8 episodes of it and feel like at least 2 of the movements need to be a mandatory celebration anytime a goal is scored.

If you havent watch The OA then go tennis!

I watched the "San Junipero" episode of Black Mirror yesterday. It was my favorite episode of the series. I got a lot of feels.

So German plays his first game in juniors and post game drops a sexy Instagram pic of him and his girl. He's like the QMJHL version of Embiid
