Not a bad deal for either team. I think he was on the Wild's radar, but I'm also glad we didn't sign him. We don't need more money tied up in another winger, especially for 5+ years. We could do with a proper 1C, but not at the price Backes went for. I'm happy with our pickup of Staal, both for...

I get why people are crucifying him because of what he's said in the past, but I also get the logic of why he left OKC, as OKC's ownership simply does not want to go into the Luxury Tax. There's plenty of evidence as far as transactions go and I think Sam Presti's even said it outright before...

Astros are surprisingly bad. I was expecting a 75 to 85 win season from your team again (some regression, but not this much). And yet the 60 win pace they have is on isn't even the 3rd worst win pace in the majors this season. The Reds, Braves, and my Twins are playing at 54, 45, and 40 win...

I've got my super-homer glasses on, so I'm saying title contention in 2018. For 2017, the expectation for progress for this team is to make the playoffs.

While it is an enjoyable ride with a fantastic soundtrack, fun animation, entertaining action sequences, and a couple fun characters of the ones who actually do get character development and don't get written out immediately afterwards, Angel Beats is still far from a masterpiece. Pacing and...

I'd still rather see the Warriors so I could say I witnessed NBA history in the best season by a team ever. Also the Cavs next year because that city's been in a title drought and Kevin Love is a way better player than people seem to think he is. 2018 is T-Wolves time, though.

Waiters, man. He's really started to come into his own. I remember people ripping on him. Statistically, he's a worse player, but he doesn't need to play as big of a role as the Cavs needed him to when they had him prior to The Return. And he's only 24. He's got more than a few years in the...

The Sharks played like, well, Sharks in the way they dispatched the Preds. Oh well, more of Brent Burns's beard on TV.

Aaand the Caps are out, as are the Stars. Would be cool to see the Preds advance to face the Blues. Would mean both teams were coming off of back-to-back 4-3 series. The Blues are abnormally clutch this post season.

Klay is an integral part of their success. This Warrior's team is a modern day mirror of the '95-'96 Bulls, really.

I think they picked him more as a long-term project and because the team's WRs as a whole are bad enough that they'll take a chance on anyone. Also with Cordarelle definitely not being renewed after 2016, someone's got to be ready to fill in for him. The media honed in on that story on their own.

A thing of beauty, that. At least something entertaining is happening with other teams in the league given that the Twins aren't giving me anything to cheer about. Holy hell has the pitching been absolutely brutal. Near total failure on the entire team's part. Terry Ryan needs to go after this...

Setting aside whether I have given Clannad a higher rating than it deserves, Jun Maeda's strength is in VN writing where he can get a whole arc dedicated to a character. Charlotte and Angel Beats!, both being works of his that are blasted for their haphazard pacing, were written as original...

Charlotte's mess of writing wasn't exclusively on PA Works. It was also, arguably primarily, on Jun Maeda and his scriptwriting, as well as the production committee that decided on a single cour rather than two cours. And giving NGNL a 10 is definitely a sign that someone is very new to the...

As someone who hasn't really spent a lot of time with V and never adapted to the graphics of V (game has always ran slow on my primary PC), I'm completely fine with the current art style in favor of more time being spent on game mechanics. I do like being able to stack more than one unit on a...
