i will never get over the airport fight scene in captain america: civil war (2016) and how they all just stood there and then started slightly jogging toward each other to start a fight. each person conveniently took on a single person at the start. idk maybe it’s just me but it was one of the worst beginnings of a fight scene i’ve ever witnessed

Random thoughts: I love that Jenna has so much respect for her craft. Obviously I knew that before the Kristyn interview, but hearing her talk about her journey, the passion she has for dance and how she is so inspired to choreograph and play with different concepts, how she wants to be a student again !? That girl never stops. The time and effort she puts in is really something else.

Ramblings: The Postman Delivers But The Breadman Assists; Wilson On Fire – December 9
It was the Artemi Panarin show in Newark on Friday night.
After his team fell behind 2-0 on goals from Marcus Johansson and Brian Boyle, Panarin had three primary assists on three second-period goals for Columbus. The prettiest of the three was probably on Scott Harrington’s goal where Panarin finds him as the trailer through a solid backcheck:
Three #CBJ goals tonight, three Artemi Panarin assists.
This one is pure art. #YeastMode pic.twitter.com/ZjBo8o9cIn
— 1st Ohio Battery (@1stOhioBattery) December 9, 2017
He added a fourth assist, on the power play no less, in the third period on Alex Wennberg’s game-winning goal, and his fifth assist on Zach Werenski’s late tally. Five goals for Columbus, five primary assists for Panarin. Truly a night that is hard to top.
Once Panarin’s shooting percentage comes around (he’s under 9 percent right now despite being over 15 percent in his first two years), he’ll be fine as a fantasy asset. Power-play points are still an issue, and that will limit his upside, but getting to 20 goals and 60 points seems reasonable.
*
For those frustrated Cam Atkinson fantasy owners, maybe grab a big sip of coffee before reading the following tweet:
#CBJ Cam Atkinson benched for the entire 3rd period. Finished the night with 9:36 TOI.
— Kristyn Repke‍ (@kristynrepke) December 9, 2017
Now you get to clean the coffee off your computer screen! Or an unfortunate stranger if you were on a commute.
I don’t know what Jackets fans think, but Atkinson didn’t stand out to me in a bad way in any game of theirs I’ve watched this year. He hasn’t been scoring, but he hasn’t also been a liability. That I’ve noticed, anyway.
Regardless, maybe now is the time to inquire to a panicking Atkinson owner? If his shooting percentage increases, he can still push for 25 goals. Getting 20-ish goals the rest of the way would be a big win for what he would cost in a trade. It never hurts to ask.
*
Make it back-to-back games with goals for Nicklas Backstrom:
BACKSTROM! What a wrister, beautiful rip! 2-0 Caps! pic.twitter.com/wwMy4wAvCa
— NHL Daily 365 (@NHLDaily365) December 9, 2017
Both he and Alex Ovechkin have been on fire since being reunited. Now, I don’t want to attribute everything to that – remember when the whole team was on fire for the first two weeks of the season? – but as long as they keep rolling, it’s only good for the fantasy value of each player.
Tom Wilson continued his recent hot streak with a goal and an assist in the third period. The final four minutes, really, as this was a 2-2 game with 3:30 left on the clock.
I suppose as long as Wilson is on the top line, he has value in fantasy leagues that count PIMs. Count me dubious that he has much production value, though, recent hot streak aside. From 2014-2017, Wilson was 178th out of 202 forwards in primary points per 60 minutes at five-on-five, sandwiched between Dwight King and Adam Lowry. Before saying that it’s all due to line mates (some is, I will grant that), note that guys like Chris Stewart, Antoine Roussel, and Dale Weise all out-produced him on a per-minute basis, some by a lot (Roussel by over 30 percent, for example). He’ll stay there as long as the goals keep coming, but as soon as those fall off, he’ll be back in the bottom-6. That’s not a bad thing – he’s fine as a fourth-line winger, third line in a pinch. I just don’t see him working out long-term on the top line.
*
Speaking of Marcus Johansson’s goal, here it is:
Wrap your head around this goal by Marcus Johansson pic.twitter.com/9mDXJITFUs
— Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) December 9, 2017
Johansson returning to the lineup should be a boost on both sides of the puck for this team, and make their lineup a little longer. I do have doubts for him as a fantasy asset. He had a career-high 58 points last year, partly due to playing on a heavily-used top PP unit for the Capitals leading to 19 power-play points. If he plays on the second line in New Jersey and his PP time is split between two units, a 50-point/82 games pace is as much as we can expect.
*
Friday night marked the return of Andre Burakovsky to the Washington lineup. He started and finished the game on the third line with Brett Connolly and Lars Eller.
This was a year of high expectations for Burakovsky from the fantasy community. With Justin Williams and Marcus Johansson no longer on the roster, two top-six forward spots opened up, and he was expected to be on one of the top two lines. He had been playing with Nicklas Backstrom and TJ Oshie before his broken finger, and that trio was crushing it to the tune of a 57.4 percent adjusted shot share and 53.5 percent expected goal share.
Count me among the interested to see what the lineup looks like in a week or two. While Burakovsky’s old line was performing very well, the duo of Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin was getting shredded defensively. Once Oshie returns from his current injury, does Trotz return to Burakovsky-Backstrom-Oshie? Does he leave Ovechkin-Backstrom-Wilson together? Burakovsky won’t see top power-play minutes unless there’s an injury, but he’ll have moderate fantasy value once he makes his way back to the top-six. How much he has will depend on which line mates he ends up with, and the settings individual leagues (plus/minus could be an issue).
*
The game of the night was undoubtedly Vegas-Nashville. We had six total goals, 83 total shots, a back-and-forth overtime, and of course (PK) Subban vs. Malcolm Subban.
Vegas managed a 2-0 lead on goals from William Karlsson (of course) and James Neal (no way he wasn’t scoring in his return to Nashville). Nashville fired him three straight goals from Calle Jarnkrok, Viktor Arvidsson, and Nick Bonino. Vegas tied the game with the goalie pulled on a deflected shot from Erik Haula.
Honestly, this game was a lot of fun, and hopefully we see them meet in the playoffs.
On the Jarnkrok goal, I want to point something out. In the first five seconds of this video, watch Filip Forsberg one-hand a waist-high puck down to his feet, and away from a pressing Vegas checker:
CALLE JARNKROK, WHAT A MOVE! PREDS DOWN 1! pic.twitter.com/rOSuyQTaRI
— NHL Daily 365 (@NHLDaily365) December 9, 2017
What a special player.
There was nothing really particular in this game to point out. Arvidsson had a couple points, as did Nate Schmidt (two assists). Schmidt and Mattias Ekholm tied for most minutes in this game with 28:08. In fact, no Vegas skater had more than 21 minutes played. Schmidt was a beast.
This was just a very fun game to watch. More of this please.
*
At the other end of the spectrum, Chicago absolutely laid waste to Buffalo. It was a 3-2 overtime win, sure, but Buffalo wasn’t really controlling this game at any point. The final shot tally was 51-28 Blackhawks, and Chicago had 70 percent of the score-adjusted shot share at five-on-five. Robin Lehner was the reason this game was 3-2 and not 8-2.
Buffalo actually led this game going into the final four minutes of the third. They promptly gave up a short-handed goal to Tommy Wingels to force overtime. On the power play this year, Buffalo has scored 11 and allowed eight against. They’re plus-3 on the power play two months into the season.
Small, meaningless quirk that I would not have noticed had I not been watching hockey every Friday night: on Fridays this year, the Sabres have been outshot 211-160 in six games, but are outshooting teams 743-711 on every other day combined (someone please double-check my 1 AM math).
Gustav Forsling had three points including the game-winner in overtime.
*
Corey Crawford started Friday night’s game for the Blackhawks, meaning he missed just three games with injury. I’m sure the team is happy to have him back seeing as they gave up 11 goals in those three games, losing them all.
It can’t be overstated how much he means to this team. He has a .922 save percentage going back to the lockout season (that’s 274 starts!), and his .930 this year has helped this team stay in the playoff race early on when they were porous defensively. Fantasy owners rejoice, and pray no further injuries come.
*
Minnesota and Anaheim played a fairly boring game. It’s kind of to be expected given what we’ve seen from the Wild this year and Anaheim’s injuries, but sometimes those types of games can be wild and wide-open. This was not.
Matt Dumba scored the overtime winner on a cut across the net. It was a huge game fantasy-wise for him as he had the goal, six shots, five blocked shots, and four hits. Jason Zucker had a goal, an assist, and four shots. 
Once the Ducks are healthy, keep an eye on Ondrej Kase. He had an assist in this game, giving him 11 points in 17 games. He has 11 goals and 26 points in 70 career games playing pretty much fourth line minutes. Hopefully he can stick around in the top-six, there's some skill here that the team could use up front. 
*
Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Jason Zucker is?
From the start of the 2014-15 season, Zucker is just outside the top-10 in goals per 60 minutes at five-on-five. His mark of 1.06 has him 11th, between Evgeni Malkin (1.07) and James Neal (1.06). This year, he’s finally been given some power-play time, and Zucker is well on his way to his first 30-goal season. Remember, last year when Zucker set a career-best with 22 goals, just one came with the man advantage, and he averaged 15 seconds of PP time per contest. He’s over two minutes per game this year and he’s doubled his career PP goal output as a result.
Beyond just appreciating Zucker is the fantasy hockey (and fantasy sports lesson) in general here: player values are often at the whims of coaches. Had Zucker been given 2-3 minutes of power-play time last year, he may have cracked 30 goals and 60 points. Instead, he wasn’t, and he finished with 22 and 47. This was the case with Brandon Saad in Columbus, is the case with Nikolaj Ehlers in Winnipeg, and to a lesser extent Jason Spezza in Dallas. The line between being a good fantasy asset and a great fantasy asset is often power-play opportunity and equally often we have no idea how it will shake out until we see it in games.
This kind of brings me back to the point of Burakovsky. Working under the assumption from before the year that he wouldn’t get much PP time without injury, what, exactly was his upside? Well, two players have cracked 60 points with 10 or fewer PP points in any of the previous three seasons, and they maxed out at 61. Even in a great offensive year at five-on-five, expecting more than 50 from Burakovsky would have been foolish. We are seeing Zucker really break out thanks to PP time, but he and Burakovsky should serve as cautionary tales. Power-play production makes or breaks most fantasy seasons, so keep expectations in check unless you’re sure a certain player will get the minutes he needs.

A quick update on Ryan Getzlaf and Ryan Kesler:
Ryan Getzlaf expected to go on Ducks pre-Christmas road trip. Ryan Kesler isn't as certain on that. Will evaluate how he feels as days go along. Doesn't have timeline in mind other than keeping hope for after holiday break.
— Eric Stephens (@icemancometh) December 8, 2017
This team needs both of these guys to come back and be the players they can be, desperately.
*
Everyone remembers the injury scare at the end of last year for Kyle Okposo. Those problems seem behind him, but maybe new ones have cropped up:
Housley said Okposo took the morning off but will play. Gorges the scratch on D. Girgensons stays out. Same lineup as in Denver. #Sabres
— Mike Harrington (@ByMHarrington) December 8, 2017
Harrington also tweeted this:
In practice yesterday Housley offered Okposo to do sit-ups rather than push-ups. Okposo said he was ok but must have hand/shoulder issue.
— Mike Harrington (@ByMHarrington) December 8, 2017
Though the Sabres as a collective have been an affront to offensive prowess, it has been surprising that Okposo has been pacing for a little over 10 goals this year after tallying on Friday night.
Hopefully this is nothing, but it’s something to keep in the back of your mind in case Okposo pops up on your waiver wires. Give it a little bit of thought before just grabbing him, especially with him on the fourth line of late.
*
I heard a quote the other day – I think it was from a Panthers player? – that Aleksander Barkov was already a top-5 centre in the NHL. I decided to run a brief Twitter poll just to see what some of my followers thought, but limited it to just the Eastern Conference:
Is Sasha Barkov a top-5 centre in the Eastern Conference?
— Michael Clifford (@SlimCliffy) December 8, 2017
This isn’t fantasy-related directly, but it is interesting the public perception here. Thoughts, Dobber heads?

The Rambling Prude.
So it has been a minute since I’ve posted. I keep wondering why I keep coming back to this damn blog as if anyone will ever read it. As if anyone will ever care. I wonder if I’ll ever tell anyone about my blog. Maybe when I die or if I ever kill myself I can leave this for everyone to see. So everyone can understand the happy girl that they all thought they knew was actually drowning in her own pathetic misery. Wow. But, let me catch myself and the invisible readers who give a fuck back up on whats been going on with poor little ol me. On new years eve, Jay asked me to marry him. Exciting huh? Of course. Everything I’ve ever wanted. Now I’ve got all these plans and things I wanna do. Not to mention that I’ve already told 2 people they can be my maids or honor. So I’ll be either having two or deciding between my best friend or my little sister who’s really the best friend I could’ve ever asked for and has been there with me through everything since we was like 7. So many hard choices. But anyways we still live with Jays mom. It’s ok but things are getting a little difficult. You see, I keep finding that no matter what I say or do either Shawna is correcting me or Jay is. Kinda feel like I’m living at home with my mom and dad. Except Jays the dad and Shawna is the mom. It’s so funny because Jay is working now. And I’m not working very much at all at the moment. Shawna like praises Jay for working. She crys and tells him how much she appreciates it and blah blah and I just sit there and think to myself “are you fucking kidding me” shes praising this kid for doing what hes suppose to be doing and not only that but I’ve worked so much harder and so  much more and not once got anything even close to that. I find myself getting a attitude with her more and more because of all the bullshit she spews out. She acts so innocent and so pure. Like are you fucking kidding me. She lies and acts like she doesn't. Fuck man she lied and said she knew nothing about Ray selling dope and shit before he went to jail but then he sat right there and told me Shawna did know and supported him about it so they could get a car and shit. I wouldn’t be upset but that's kinda something big to lie about and to run around flaunting like she didn't know shit. Then when Ray was out and living with us she let him run everyone over. She acted like she didn’t do nothing wrong there entire relationship but if only Ray knew that Shawna once again had told many lies to him when he got out. Like she lied to him about Jays daddy living with us for 2 weeks. And also her on dating sites and going to the bar. Oh but don’t let her fool ya, she doesn’t do nothing. I shouldn’t be bringing this up though because it was forever ago,and Ray is now dead. Sometimes I just need to vent. Oh and since I am venting and brought up Jays daddy, I’m gonna get started on him for a minute. So Mr. King is getting out of jail here soon maybe. HE THINKS HE’S GONNA MOVE IN WITH US! I already told Jay and Shawna that if he does I will move out. I will be gone. Now before you think I’m being selfish and this is my loves dad. Let me explain why. Now them 2 weeks he was living with us while Ray was still in jail, Stanley had done some pretty fucked up shit. He stole from all of us. Shawna’s shoes, Cody’s pool sticks, a phone Shawna has given me to use. That’s not even the worst. One night he broke into mine and Jays room. The door was LOCKED and he took a card and popped it open. He was breaking in our room to steal our cigarettes. Well, not only is that what he got, but he also got a nice good look of my naked body laying in bed with his son! Yup. This grown old man done saw me completely naked... And then went to Jays cousin Stormi and bragged about it! Like seriously. And I had just turned 18. Now can you see why I don’t wanna live with him? What sucks the most though, is Jay didn’t even say anything. He doesn’t even care that his dad saw me naked. Or that he bragged about it. When I told Jay that I’d move out if he moved in Jay smiled and said that’s on me.  I will move if he moves in. Jay can stay here with his fucked up daddy and push over mommy without me. Sometimes I think that Jay will never leave his mom. It makes me very sad. Jay got to experience everything. He’s lived on his own. He’s got to drive around with all his friends and have fun. I haven’t got to do none of that. And I’m probably never going too either. Not like anyone cares. You see its like no one sees all the sacrifices I make to be with him. All the shit I’ve done. I’ve done so many things that I’d never do for anyone but yet I had and did for him. I love going over to his grannies. His granny is probably the craziest old women but she is real. Now going over to his grannies comes with a price. All the crazy shit happens at Jeans. I’ve already been beat up once for no fucking reason by his Aunt Amanda. He was beating the shit out of Jimmy because Jimmy had left his dad for dead in a field while they was fleeing from thieving  from the wrong people. Jay beat Jimmy’s ass for it and Amanda came and saw Jimmy getting his ass whooped and ran over the the car and my window was cracked just enough for her to sneak he arm through and grab me by my hair and neck. But that's ok. Karma comes. Now, Jimmy has been out thieving again. He keeps getting out of all the trouble he gets in. Anytime he gets arrested he is out the next day or so. We all know its because he’s ratting on other people. Jay wants to go back over there and beat Jimmy up again. I know though that if he does Amanda will try to do some sneaky shit again. Honestly, I’m not scared... I just don’t want the drama. I don’t belong in that mess. Neither does Jay. I don’t know why he feels like its his place to go make things right but honestly he’s just making them harder on his granny. But I can’t tell him that because then I’m “Not on his side”. I hate Amanda and I hate Jimmy even more. Just because of the snakes they are. Jay’s granny might only have a year left to live. It’ll be a very sad day when she goes. I also believe that the devil will walk the trailer park also after she’s gone. I’m worried about what will happen and become of the kids. Khloe and Blake. They could be something great, but they’re surrounded by madness. They are doomed as long and Amanda and Jimmy are around. That’s enough about them though. Back to me. For some reason I can’t shake my depression. A few weeks ago, I had accused Jay of cheating. And I felt crazy. I never felt so bad in awhile. I gave into temptation. I cut myself. Now everyday its a struggle to not cut again. Its hard to not even think about it. Something that took me forever to get over and now its back. The one disease that I know will kill me if it comes back around. It’s back. Knocking on my door and I’ve got to do my best to not let it back in no matter how bad it gets because I owe it to myself. I’ve came so far to go back now. But yet it is still so damn hard. I don’t get why I let myself go. Why I do this to myself. Sometimes I feel like just ending it. Like everything would be so  much easier if I did. But what stops me is how Jay would feel if he came home and found my lifeless body. I couldn’t do that to him. I couldn’t let that be the last time he saw me. I want his last thought and picture of me to be beautiful and happy. Not me lying on the bathroom floor dead and him trying to figure out what he can do to bring me back. I feel like the only way to make people listen is when I cut. And when I cut it just makes everything feel better. It’s like a silent scream. I can scream and release the pain into something else and no one will ever know unless they see them. Unless I allow or slip up and let them see my wounds. My cry for help without having to use my voice. Its easier then having to explain a bunch of feelings you don’t even understand yourself most of the time. You just know they’re there and they haunt you. And sometimes it’s like your not even you. You are someone you haven’t met or seen in a very long time. So it feels nice when you see an old “friend”. What if, instead of killing myself I just up and disappeared? Like I saved up a bunch of money and then one day when no one expects it, pack all my things and leave while no one is here. Then no one would ever know what happened to me. If I was alive or dead. Sounds nice but I just couldn’t do it to Jay. Plus, I’m getting married and yes I am excited. And yes I am gonna go through with it. Maybe I need counseling. I feel like no one gets it though and I’m sick of trying to make them understand something that they just possibly can’t. I wish I could talk to my mom about it all. Anytime I talk to her though I just hear “leave him” or “come home”. I don’t want that though. All I want is someone to listen! I would talk to Kristyn about it but she holds everything against me. That’s another thing. I’m sick of hearing Jay talk shit about my sister. His sister use to be such a bitch to me and even worse to him. Yet I still didn’t say nothing. Sat there and smiled. But he thinks its ok for him to run his petty ass mouth and I hate it. It really makes me wanna fight him. Because my family isn’t perfect but his is wayyyyyy more fucked then mine ever thought about being. Anyways I got to go for now.

i was just in a craft store and it reminded me of when my cousin and i went in there several years ago to buy poster board and removable adhesive dots for the photo boards that we were making for my mom’s funeral. and the cashier looked at all of our items and went, “looks like you’re making a fun project!” and i didn’t know what to say so i just went “…yep!”

feels insane to me when someone who was unforgivably rude to me is nice to me. cordial, sure because we run in the same circles and it’s unavoidable but NICE? my brain just does not compute and it makes me pretty uncomfortable :/
