I Re Watched The Dark Knight & The Dark Knight Rises Recently

By -
The Winter months lead to some great movies showing on TV.  As a guy who recently had nothing to do on Saturday afternoon I re-watched The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

 The re-watchableness of these movies is actually pretty impressive.  The movies go on forever, but in the same token, fly by.  Over 2.5 hours is super long in the movie world, but these movies could have went on at Lord of the Rings length.  Imagine a Batman tv show, now get this, WITH Batman! 
But please God not like this..
I miss this era of superhero movies.  The era before superhero movies went all Lebron and starting building super teams like Justice League and the Avengers.  

 I think watching Gotham (tv show) has given me a better understanding of the Batman universe, and with that a new appreciation for these films.  They are works of art, they are masterpieces.  There will never be a greater Batman film than what Christopher Nolan has presented us.

 After re-watching both films I had two major thoughts that I didn't 7-10 years ago.

  1. Two Face deserves more time in the Batman universe.  They totally skimmed over one of the greatest villains.
  2. We deserved to see the Penguin at some point, maybe in Batman Begins.
You can watch these films 100 times and they will still be interesting, and you will catch something new.  Watching them again was like watching them for the first time.

We are fucked

As my friend AngryHabsFan eluded to already, yesterday was the end of the world as we know it for Sens fans. Matt Cooke's skate caught Karlsson in the Achilles tendon last night on a scuffle in the corner. First off don't even think that this was Matt Cooke being a dirty player and that he did this on purpose. It was just one of those freak plays that happen. No timeline has been given yet for Karlsson's return but I think its safe to say that he won't be back this season. Hopefully he can return from this injury and still be a great player. We already have Michalek playing on robotic knees so hopefully EK can get a hold of Milo's doctor. Speaking of Michalek he also disappeared before the game last night with a mysterious undisclosed injury. No word on what exactly is the extent of his injury yet. So without Spezza, Michalek, Karlsson and Jared Cowen I think its safe to say we are fucked and need to focus on shipping out Gonchar at the deadline and going

AHF NHL Playoff Bracket

With the March Madness NCAA Basketball tournament starting up tomorrow, people all over North America and abroad are filling out their brackets.  Even President Obama gets in on the action each year. Though my knowledge in sports lies pretty much in the world of hockey, I've been attempting brackets for the past six years.  This year my final four are: Kentucky, Syracuse, Missouri, and North Carolina. When it comes to the NHL nobody gets excited and fills out an NHL playoff bracket.  I am here to change that today. Since my creative juices are lacking in humour during this dismal time in Montreal, I thought I'd throw together an NHL bracket of my own based on the NHL Playoffs matches that would be happening if the season ended last night. Please feel free to rip me apart in the comment section. 1st Round  East: New York Rangers vs Washington Capitals Winner: New York Rangers in 5 Boston Bruins vs Ottawa Senators Winner: Boston Bruins in 5 Florida Panthers vs New J
