Phantom Menace is the most underrated film in the entire Star Wars canon.

Set design was brilliant. Costumes were fantastic. CGI, believe it or not, only made up about 15% of the film. It was all sets, models and post-production.

People wanted rah-rah Jedi gang-banging. We got a Darth Vader origin story.

You take all the criticism of TPM and apply it to every one of the OG Trilogy and they have the same exact issues with bad acting, pacing, dialogue and melodrama.

IMO, Phantom Menace is the only Star Wars film to capture the nostalgia and magic of the original films.

People will perpetually tear it apart because everyone went in with their own expectations of a film that they had no clue about except Darth Vader is a kid.

The worst fanbases on the internet are: Dragon Ball, Star Wars, Star Trek and Buffalo fans.

Trust me, Phantom Menace was brilliant.

Force Awakens had a Jar Jar character played by John Boyega. And everything about it is an insult to established Star Wars canon. You want to talk about being a fan of Star Wars? Try reading the novels, comics and playing the videogames and studying the lore extensively....

Force Awakens was a travesty.

Why do u have to read every little thing about Star Wars?
There’s nothing wrong with just appreciating the movies for what they are

Until Moulson and Griffith were gone, we had the worst bottom 6 in the league. The defense is largely made up of 3rd pairing guys and wasn't healthy until 25 games into the season.

We have 2 third liners (Pouliot and pominville) playing in the top 6. But this is RORs fault. Got it
- jcragcrumple

Bottom line on ROR is we invested way to heavily in a decent 2 way player. We paid him like he would lead us to the promise land. The game continues to get faster and guys like ROR are being exposed.

how could anyone forget about our future captain?
- BeadyEyedDouche

If Botts doesn’t see him as a “core” member of the botton6,
then they should put him back on Eichel or RORs line to showcase him
He actually played pretty decent in the top6 to start the year

Not all on him. But, he is NOT a leader. You think Toews would let the cry baby female dog on this team trash his locker and throw poop around right next to him while he was being interviewd?
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

How people cannot see that ROR and Toews are two completely different players in style and demeanor is beyond me

but they both play Center so they must be identical and my sources tell me ROR is like 2.5 million dollars cheaper.

20 pts in 30 for a 2nd line center playing with 3rd liners begs to differ

A). There has been no sign of that girl at Rookies since the Thursday night game against the Jets.

B). The barkeep yesterday charged me for 7 double rum and cokes for Big Mike, and I know he only drank 5 (somebody has to keep an eye on him!). I brought it up to her (that's $20), and she said "I don't know what to tell you." I said, "Tell me you feel bad that you overcharged me and you'll take it off the bill." When she did I gave her a full tip.

Pretty crazy how making the customer happy can go a long way for you, some people learn this quick, others, the hard way.

This might be easier but about 99% of the guys in ROR range would be a massive improvement

I don't get how a 7.5m player who is the best 2-way forward we've had since Drury is such a problem. He's a nice 2C. We have no organization to the bottom 6 or D. RoR is fine.

Why move one of our decent performers when there are actual problems on this roster? Everyone here suddenly is worried about the cap. It's going up, and there are way better candidates to move if you're actually worried about that

We are paying Okposo and ROR more than Tarasenko
