  1. Yeah no reason they can’t come 9th. But 8th is a big leap up - missed by 26 points this year.
  2. 2 years @ $2.5/yr seems ok for Kubalik.
  3. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20220708-how-better-call-saul-bettered-breaking-bad Gilligan stepped back from the writers' room of Better Call Saul after season three, leaving Gould as sole showrunner. He returned for the final season however to write the penultimate script and to direct three episodes, including the season six, part two premiere Point and Shoot. It was during the filming of this episode's opening scene in July 2021 that Bob Odenkirk suffered a heart attack. "It was just terrible," says Gilligan, who struggles to recall the incident without becoming emotional. "I've learned since that most people survive a heart attack. He had full-on cardiac arrest, which most people do not survive. It was awful. He died right in front of us." He credits the quick actions of various people, including the on-set emergency medical technician, for saving Odenkirk's life. "They saved his life right in front of me," he says. "I'm standing there like an idiot. I don't know what to do. Just completely useless… We were sure he wasn't going to make it." After being rushed to hospital, Odenkirk made a full recovery (possibly, suggests Gilligan, because he was in such good shape from filming action movie Nobody). "We didn't even know at that point if we were ever going to finish the show or not," he says, "but knowing he was going to survive helped an awful lot. Those were some very dark days." Odenkirk returned to set a few weeks later, to complete the scene that he had left unfinished. "It’s a very dramatic scene near the beginning of the episode," says Gilligan. "Two thirds of it was shot before he had a cardiac arrest, a third of it after. I defy you to notice the difference."
  4. I guess live-streaming didn’t exist yet back in 2004 or whenever. Even drug barons had to make do with camcorders.
  5. “Keep on telling the lie you’ve been telling about him”. (or words to that effect, I may have got a word or two wrong).
  6. I would be shocked if it were not Bedard. I’m biased because he is from North Vancouver, we have been hearing about him for years, and I’ve seen him summer scrimmage with pros at our arena. No one has been this hyped since McDavid.
  7. Incidentally, I read that Datsyuk recently announced his KHL retirement.
  8. Yep, Dylan gets it. And he didn't even do this for the money, did it for a laugh:
  9. Is 5 the Tigers' longest win streak of the season?
  10. Listening to the radio on that final play, from the time it left the bat until it was scooped up and called out, I couldn't tell from Dan's call and the crowd's reaction how the play was going to end up.
  11. Yes. For next 2 years.
  12. How much is Mrazek making? Leafs were expected to buy him out.
  13. That's not that bad, the sucky White Sox are currently being no hit through 4.
  14. First, Canadian tv has the Hawks GM talking over Yzerman as he makes the pick. Then panelist says he doesn’t know whether Kaspar’s ceiling gets up to a top 6 forward.
  15. You got it, Pontiac.
  16. Korchinski? Wings next.
