NHL 15: Philly Flyers Trade Deadline(Year 1)

I'm really enjoying making these at the moment, so expect to see tons of them.

So, our main goal at the trade deadline was to shift on older players and players that didn't play a role in our current team. The main guys I was looking to shift on were Matt Read(2nd line Left Wing) and Kimmo Timonen(2nd pairing on Defense). What I was looking for in exchange would be prospects or picks, and possibly a true left wing sniper for the second line.

We traded with our rivals, the New York Rangers, which is unrealistic but I don't care, for left wing prospect Anthony Duclair. Duclair is only 20, with good potential and is already 78 overall, so he'll be ready to play next year. We gave up Matt Read, defenseman Nick Schultz and the third round pick we got from Anaheim in the Vatanen trade. With two spots to fill, we called up Scott Laughton, a youngster who had already gotten some ice time in injury relief, to play the third line and moved Ray Whitney up to the second line. We also called up Mathias Ekholm, who we picked up in the Forsberg trade, to play the thrid defensive pair.

Notable deals on deadline day included Jaromir Jagr to the Lightning, Alex Tanguay to Nashville for a first round pick and our Duclair pickup.

I feel Duclair can be a monster on the power play and fill that second line sniper spot that we need to fill. Our team looks even worse now, so tanking is probably on its way. See you next time, when we finish the season.

Henry's Universe Mode #231: WrestleMania II (Part 3)

Finn Balor vs The Undertaker Finn Balor felt the full force of the strikes of The Undertaker in the early going, eating rights and lefts to the skull. The Undertaker continued to lay into Balor, dumping him to the floor with a clothesline, then following up with his vintage suicide dive! After a brief skirmish on the outside, the Deadman got destructive, grabbing the Demon's throat and driving him through the announce table with a chokeslam! It was here that The Undertaker allowed Finn Balor a chance to just give up and concede defeat, but Balor wasn't having any of it. Finn got his second wind, countering an attempted chokeslam to connect with a reverse DDT, then the shotgun dropkick in the corner. Up top, Finn connected with Coup de Grace! 1........................2.......................but it's going to take a lot more to put The Undertaker away, especially at WrestleMania. Balor laid in some shots, busting The Undertaker open, but that proved to be a huge mistake. ...

American Dad "Stompe Le Monde" Review

You know, I once tried to make it in musical theater. If only I had watched this episode beforehand, I would've known I needed a leather jacket to truly make it. Alas, those dreams are for a more pretentious soul than mine. "Stompe Le Monde" is a wild episode of American Dad, one that starts with Stan's previously unknown uncle dying and ends with wanton destruction of many Sonic Drive-Ins. It's a crazy a journey as it sounds, one that left me just struggling to keep up. The family to use the new inheritance to travel to New York City, but Stan quickly blows the money on the rights to Stomp, which is apparently a real musical. The whole town of Langley is very excited to see the new show, but Stan has no idea what he's doing, never once hiring a director or even rehearsing. Why this only came up literally minutes before opening is anyone's guess. The Smith Family is forced to go on the run, and are attacked by many ferocious coyotes off-screen. In ye...

American Dad "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" Review

American Dad as a show is definitely not afraid to get a little freaky, and nothing is more evident than the existence of Rogu, Roger's tumor that became a character himself in "Persona Assistant". Rogu primarily works as a character because he stays in the background, but this week, he takes a starring role in one of the weirdest American Dad episodes to date. "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" has little in the way of traditional plot structure, and can only barely be considered an episode at all. It's more a collection of funny and bizarre skits, with a few running plot points that end up forming some sort of resolution. Steve wants to become a babysitter, but Francine says he's not ready, so he needs to prove himself to her. He does that by taking care of Rogu, as Roger is off for a night of NSFW activities. Steve is instructed not to let Rogu have candy or screentime, but violates both rules almost immediately. It turns out that Rogu multiplies w...
