@MikeBartner Andersson is trying to recapture his youth by striving to be at the cap hit he was as a rookie next year.

@MarkPalermo I wouldn’t be shocked if at least part of the inspiration for the story is the idea of “what if I learn the person I put on the pedestal of unachievable perfection is actually gross and fucked up like the rest of us, wouldn’t that be horrible”.

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@MarkPalermo I think an important thing to remember is that Bear is the perspective character so it makes sense that he perceives the biggest threat is how her behavior impacts him, which goes along with there basically never being a moment where he isn’t thinking of himself first.

@MikeBartner Even when he actually does get hit it’s hard to take it seriously when he looks like this.

The Obsession and The Sheep Detectives double feature hits like crack

@sammisilber @obsessionmovie Saw it tonight, one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. Had me wanting to crawl out of my skin basically the whole time (in the best way).

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@MikeBartner My goat Justin Sourdif getting in there

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@MikeBartner Sorry for your loss, just thinking how the Dorofeyev offer sheet with Washington is going to hit like crack.

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@daPhuc28 @MikeBartner I agree, that’s why I was saying maybe reach out to Dallas and say that it’s your plan, and see if you can make a better deal for both of you. Because I’m sure Dallas doesn’t want all futures.

@MikeBartner Ivan Demidov when he’s asked to get an even strength point in the playoffs (I know the Habs are cooking and he’s obviously a good player, I’m just #noticing)

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@DanHelll @CJC_95 To be fair the Ducks do have Quenneville as their coach, so while Hart is more personally shitty both sides have someone who shouldn’t be in the league.

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@Ashlizzlle_ Seems fantastic with Fleshbag Marauder style cards

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@carebecc @bastardspod It was a fascinating gross listen. I knew about him of course but didn’t know the depths of depravity and definitely didn’t know how enmeshed he was with the most powerful people in their society

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@PolitihackJr @thatssoleafy77 @NHLRumourReport Washington is also very possible, especially if Ovechkin is retiring. They have a boatload of cap space, love big players, and have assets to give.

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@MikeBartner Honestly worth watching the whole game highlights, his assists were just as good. Cole Hutson and Ilya Protas in the same year both outside of the 1st round looks like crazy work from the Capitals

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@_KEVINFINNERTY @MidnightEcho94 @CapitalsDieHard Puckpedia lists his estimated career earnings at over 173 million dollars, just in salary, no endorsements or anything. He has the money for his family to be taken care of for generations. Everything has to come to an end eventually.

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@dcalyssa My take is while losing games is probably for the best (although I don’t think we’re actually going to be able to move up much in the draft), I’m happy with wins as long as they are cool and fun, and this qualified.

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@Jimmy4vr @MikeBartner He might not play the first game, Carbery often likes new additions to sit out the first game to get a feel for the system before playing, but maybe with a star prospect it’ll be different, Leonard may have played the first eligible game.

[Stephen Ball @ANRTheSource]

@MikeBartner I think there’s at least a decent chance it happens, the man has spent his whole adult life in DC, has a wife and kids and all that family back there. Would be the ultimate team guy move to grab the team assets then come home, fingers crossed.
