Less than 24 hours after Tuch was on the wrong end of Braden Holtby’s miraculous save that sealed a Game 2 victory for the Capitals in the Stanley Cup Final, the Golden Knights forward was sitting in Sequoia, a restaurant in downtown D.C., with Sam Anas (a Potomac native), who was Tuch’s roommate when both forwards played for the Iowa Wild last season. There were distractions, Tuch’s phone buzzing from tweets at his handle or Instagram posts that tagged him, but as Tuch and Anas, close friends, caught up and discussed how much Tuch’s life has changed over the past year, worrying about one play, one shot, seemed trivial....

Yes, injuries and such carry over from the regular season, and some of the trends we’ve been provided with will most certainly provide us with useful hints as to how things will wind up shaking out.

Boston's coach said that after the Montreal Canadiens eliminated his team with a 3-1 Game 7 win. The series, in its less ugly spots , had devolved into a sort of pissing match over whether the Bruins were overly mean to the Habs on the ice. There was flexing, you see, and chest thumping, and water squirting, and Bruins players were to blame for all that. It's tough to get all that jammed up about it — yeah, theoretically Shawn Thornton could've screwed up P....

Advancing in the playoffs is awesome. Winning a Game 7 is awesome. Beating your biggest rival is awesome. No matter how awesome all that is, though, it takes a special person to celebrate by doing that. God bless him, and god bless Pierre McGuire. Also, if the Canadiens win the Stanley Cup, Subban should tickle Mike Milbury.

The latest donations to the Star Citizen project helped the game pass another milestone and take the total over $161,000,000. It may sound crazy that gamers are still throwing money at this project three years after its projected launch date has come and gone, but many backers have had access to the multiplayer alpha builds and the community is very impressed by what they’ve seen so far. The development team is also very open and offers frequent updates and videos about the latest changes or features, so fans know progress is still being made (though some backers have taken refunds and walked away)....

The answer is none other than William T. Riker, who appeared in a tantalizingly strange 5.5 different Star Trek shows. Riker first graced screens during the very first episode of The Next Generation (though without his iconic beard), and became a staple of the show from start to finish. While his relationship with Picard may have started out rocky, the two are heralded as possibly the best combination of Captain and second officer, the perfect combination of strict and stoic, as well as passionate yet caring....

Especially in later iterations such as The Next Generation and Deep Space 9, the Star Trek franchise became at creating impossible situations, and blurring the boundaries between what is good and evil, forcing people to make hard decisions based on what was right. Sometimes this meant doing things that are hard, or even down right criminal (such as Captain Kathryn Janeway’s questionable decisions), but Kirk, Picard, Janeway, Sisko, Archer, and others....

Adria Arjona, who plays the mechanic Bix Caleen on Andor, recently spoke with Collider about the show. The subject inevitably shifted to the making of the Star Wars series, during which time she revealed the scope of what was actually built. “They built an entire city for us, like an entire city,” Arjona said, referring to the planet of Ferrix that will play a significant role in Andor. “I got lost in it....

In an effort to explain why loot boxes are involved in the Star Wars: Battlefront 2 experience, a recent blog post on the EA website attempts to justify the reasoning behind the new system. According to developer DICE, the complete progression system was not fully active in the game’s beta, so it’s fair to say that there will be some real changes made before the launch of the finished title....

That’s where the upcoming Disney Plus series Obi-Wan Kenobi picks up, leaving audiences to speculate that this might be one of the darkest new stories in the entire Star Wars franchise. While it’s true that Obi-Wan Kenobi’s original script was deemed too bleak, prompting rewrites and a substantial delay, it’s still an unavoidable fact that the galaxy as a whole is in a pretty rough way during the time the show will take place....

RELATED: Awesome Science Fantasy Games Of course, what Star Wars also has an ample supply of is fan service. Every entry in this series, be it a movie, TV show, book, or game, has references to other pieces of the sci-fi fantasy saga. The Force Unleashed is no exception to this. Many nods throughout the adventure will prove familiar to devotees. Oftentimes, finding them all is a game in itself....

With Star Wars Battlefront 2’s beta being open for two more days, this means that fans who have yet to give the testing period a go or those who simply want more playtime with the title will be able to keep chugging along until Wednesday, October 11, 2017. Since the beta was originally scheduled to end today, this should come as good news to practically everyone who wants to stay in the science fiction universe even longer....

For one thing, the Marvel Nexus crossover, the most successful one in Fortnite history, will be ending soon. There’s a countdown in the menu and when it hits zero, the season is going away.

Getting to the Secret Woods Before players can even encounter Master Cannoli, they will need access to the Secret Woods. The entrance to the Secret Woods is to the most western part of the Cindersap Forest, the area just below the player’s farm. However, it will initially be blocked by a large log. It needs to be cut down with an axe of steel quality or better. RELATED: Stardew Valley: How to Get Blue Chickens...
