Ditto.

The premise for the show was amazing. But if it got to what I think it got to, then …um…pass.

No shit...

I’ve seen better punches thrown by girls.

What a bunch of slap-fighting, douchebag beeyotches.

Kinda random...

but I don’t want to post an original topic about it, but am I alone in thinking that putting Alex Steen on a non-scoring line is rather stupid? The only good reason I’ve heard for putting Berglund on line 2 over Steen is that we want Oshie on the wing, and even that seems rather meh.
