The downside to owning this hat is that you can never wear it, since the awesomeness would probably cause your head to explode

Well now I'm afraid to put it on again, thanks.

Both goalies had great games but holy shit did they pull off some superhuman stuff in the 3rd and OT. Quick ducking a jumping Coyote and immediately making the save, and Smith during all of OT making saves look easy against some of the best chances I've seen my Kings get all season.

We got dibs on 3rd seed next time.

Check the replay, it was shoulder on shoulder with the legs hitting each other after the main hit. A nasty and unlucky hit but a perfectly clean one.

As a designer, every time I see this thing posted (every 2 days like god damn clockwork) I always think that for $50k they could put some of that towards hiring a Typographer. From a design/hierarchy perspective it's an absolute mess.

Couple things in response:

First off, thank you. Very comprehensive and fair.

I have a Mac, so that means iTunes is not a problem and it also means that rooting is nearly impossible since the 2.3.6 upgrade. Still trying to figure it out since I really want an AOSP style rom, even though those are few and far between for the Skyrocket since apparently the LTE is a big dev problem.

Totally hear you on the skins. Touchwiz, though it has some amazing functionality (switches in notification bar, swipeable contacts) looks damn ugly. Already swapped out for GoLauncher.

This puts me further into thinking I should pick up a Nexus because I could spend hours just messing with preferences to get my phone to fit me.

(quick note: You can take any mp3 and make it a ringtone. Just plug in your phone to your computer, create a folder on the phone called "ringtones" and drop the mp3s in. Super easy although not intuitive.)

So, just to push back, if I chose to go with an iPhone over a Nexus what would be the benefits from your point of view as a developer? Since the Nexus is free of bloat and receives direct updates from Google (if you buy the device directly through them).

That is one thing I absolutely love, the ability to swap out keyboards on a whim. I use Swiftkey right now but when I need a more one handed approach I can make a quick change to Swype. How do you feel the iPhone keyboard holds up to all the Android options?

Just one question, the comment about a case. I own a case for my Skyrocket (otterbox commuter) but never use it because turns out every S2 may look fragile but is a god damn tank. I was under the impression that the iPhone had an even better build quality so a case wasn't really necessary.

And I totally get the feeling of being obsolete, not 3 months after I get a Skyrocket (still new and heavily advertised at the time) the HTC One X gets released and the Galaxy S3 gets announced. Suddenly my brand new phone is yesterday's hardware for having only a 200dpi screen and only two cores. Do you not feel that way with the iPhone? That you're missing out by not upgrading to the 4s?

Any idea what teams/years?

But wouldn't the cost be $400/24 months as AT&T upgrades are offered every two years?

I wholeheartedly agree. When Google announces the next Nexus line this fall I'm just going to shell out for the unlocked. Not that I don't love this phone but the lack of updates is really killing me.

Probably still doing it in LA, lets be real for a second.

I have a wild theory that the reason the Kings started dominating after picking up Carter at the trade deadline is that Carter/Richards took the team out to party and finally got them to relax. That then translated into their game on the ice. Or maybe he's just a skilled player, I don't know.

Thanks for sharing that, I actually hadn't seen it before. Yes that was a frustration move by Quick and not a very smart one (probably the only time I've seen him lose his cool this season) but I think the main difference is that the play was moving the other way in this instance, whereas Smith actively disrupted the play tonight. Smith also hit Brown from behind whereas Quick was facing the Av when he took the swing.

More importantly, the Colorado player clipped Quick on the rush so Quick's slash is more understandable since it was in direct retaliation. Not that it makes it any better of a move but at least somewhat more understandable in the moment.

Carter gets credit with the third goal of the game, Kopitar's shot went off 77's foot.

seKer82 · 8 days

Wasn't a horrible call from the ref's perspective (as in they were distracted by Brown and only saw Lewis go down) but yes I agree, Doan had no other option. It was too late to do anything about the hit, Lewis made a terrible decision.

They're saying it was embellishment although I think it was a very poor call.

seKer82 · 8 days

Embellishment apparently. But seriously, if you get clocked in the back of the leg you're going to go down like a ton of bricks too. Bad call on that on.
