I think 34th. But I think the Discovery writers forgot about the Temporal Cold War.

I hate Vegas as much as I do Anaheim.

No connection to anything. They are far enough in the future that they aren't bound by Star Trek Canon anymore. They can make their own. Kind of an easy way out for the writers, if you ask me.

Tilly just became annoying this season.

Not bringing back Anson Mount to play Pike next season is a huge mistake. I'd also not feel bad if Discovery was somehow destroyed & the surviving or remaining crew merged with Pike's Enterprise & he took over as the new permanent Captain. There'd have to be a place for Saru but Number 1 is there. Anyway, it won't be happening anyway. Letting Mount go will form a huge vacuum. It's already apparent. They had a good thing going with Mount's Pike & poof he's gone.

Did we need insight on Sulu & Checkhov in TOS? They just drove the ship, too. They both became beloved characters. So, I'd say yes.

Am I the only one who has trouble following the storyline on each episode? A day or 2 later, I honestly can't tell you what happened. Discovery is the only show I have this problem with. The special effects are fantastic but there's so much going on that I find it hard to keep up. I wish they'd simplify the plot lines. Or slow the series down a bit for the benefit of viewers. Star Trek was always about social commentary & getting to really know the characters & we get very little of that with Discovery. Other than Burnham & Spock. IMO, I think that is what happens when the writers only have 13 episodes to get a very complicated storyline as well as complex characters in to a complete season. I think if they had 22 episodes the series would look totally different & have a different feel to it.

I just remember seeing that Mo Eisley Cantina bar scene in the first Star Wars movie in 1977 & it blew me away.

Some players looking for new contracts will probably be playing elsewhere next season. No way this group can stay together after the way they played. Especially late in the season & in the first round.

Hellebuyck did play a great game after I criticized him, of course. So, I will give credit where credit is due as it's only fair. His teammates sure let him down.

I've seen the guy let in more soft goals than a lot of other starting goalies. Like I said, there are other issues not just goaltending.

He hasn't carried the team. Not this past season. He's not the only problem with this team but he's part of it.

Gotta say I watched a bit of Rogue One yesterday & enjoyed it. I remember sitting in the theatre in 2016 & at one point thinking to myself that it was a very good movie.

It starts with championship goaltending & goes out from there. When the game is on the line how many of us have faith that Hellebuyck will make THAT save to preserve a win? I'm willing to say Biddington would have made the save with 15 seconds left on Thursday that Hellebuyck didn't. If fans don't have that confidence in our goaltending then what do his teammates think & how do they react in pressure situations?

It would be his replacement that scares me.

Trouba

Where's Ambrosie? Too busy to come to the table. He's in Peru looking to sign a sponsorship deal for players & to set up a combine.

Love to have him here.

This corrupted us all. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

We were just happy to make the playoffs.

Who knows? Could be great hire or an abysmal failure. That's the risk with a hire like that.

Well, if they lose this series I'm sure Maurice is done. I'm just worried who'd they replace him with. I mentioned just how bad Glen Gulutzan was in Calgary before Peters. There are lots of cheap HC options out there available for Cheveldayoff to hire. Assistants who feel they're ready to be a HC. Or guys out there with a year or 2 of HC experience who have been fired once before. Most will fail as they aren't capable of being successful NHL head coaches. I think fans have to be careful for what they wish for.

They always used him as a Neandertal type of wrestler. Or just a weird guy tied to a weird family. I'd like to have seen what he could have done in a different role.

If we got rid of those 6 players we'd be a last place team.

Bill Peters in Calgary won't be going anywhere considering just how bad Glen Gulutzan was before him.
