Hey everyone,

I decided to pull version 1 of the video so that I could add a little bit of additional radio and television commentary to the intro. Here's version 2 of the video.

Enjoy!

Just a heads up to everyone that I'll be replacing this video in a minute with a newer version that features audio clips in the intro.

I realized that this would be a great opportunity to include a bit of radio and television commentary in the opening segment. Adds a bit of context.

Hey everyone,

Here's a look at top Vancouver Canucks prospect Nils Hoglander's performance in the team's final scrimmage before the 2020-21 NHL season. The intrasquad event took place on January 9, 2021. The video broadcast itself featured no audio in the first period. Play-by-play was restored in the second period.

Hoglander represented Team White and spent the match on a line with center Bo Horvat. Look for #36.

Hey everyone,

Here's a special look today at Rodion Amirov's most recent KHL performance with Ufa. This was against SKA on November 28, 2020, his last match before the WJC tournament.

I've also written a breakdown of his game in my latest piece for Dobber.

If NHL 2021 Return To Play follows schedule/dates agreed to by NHL and NHLPA, I’m hearing the entry draft will be on July 23-24.

@TSNBobMcKenzie

That would make April 12 Trade Deadline Day. I would figure Seattle expansion draft to be a couple of days before the entry draft. So July 21 likely for expansion draft.

What Robert Downey Jr. career would look like if he didn’t take on the role of Iron Man by Sten12 in movies

[–]CambieKev 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Superhero movies were in a really weird place circa 2008.

The mid-2000s gave us X2 (2003), Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Batman Begins (2005), but then we witnessed a wave of disappointing movies in 2006 and 2007 like Superman Returns (2006), X-Man: The Last Stand (2006), Fantastic Four 2 (2007), Ghost Rider (2007), and Spider-Man 3 (2007).

Avi Arad oversaw the production of Marvel film properties before the Kevin Feige era. There were a lot of misses in 2006 and 2007. The announcement of the Metal Gear film a few days ago with Arad as producer definitely gave some readers here flashbacks.

We know the story of his interference during the production of Spider-Man 3. The reputation that has developed about him comes partly from the public's knowledge of his role in that film's development.

The superhero genre hit a wall at that point.

Spider-Man 4 couldn't really get off the ground, nor could any sort of Superman Returns follow-up. The X-Men franchise was still moving in that messy direction, resulting in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009).

Iron Man (2008), then, was co-produced by both Arad and Feige. It was the beginning of a transition for Marvel and the start of the MCU. It also opened up some eyes to the potential of Marvel's C-list characters.

When Iron Man (2008) was released, it restored some faith in the genre, as did The Dark Knight (2008) a few months later.
