Instead, incredibly, Buffalo may have reached 3:01 p.m. ET Monday in worse shape as an organization after entering the day with the second-worst record in the NHL. Out went Evander Kane. In came a couple watered-down draft picks and a B-level prospect. The expiring contracts of Benoit Pouliot, Josh Gorges and Robin Lehner (RFA), three other trade deadline possibilities, remained on the books. And afterward, a defeated Jason Botterill seemed at a loss about how to fix his dysfunctional roster....

For anyone unfamiliar, EVE Online is something of an anomaly in the video game community. The game has an extremely dedicated playerbase, and the game’s history is a series of wars, conquests, and schemes. Unlike other titles, where huge changes can often be attributed to dev decisions, most of EVE Online’s major moments came from its players. The consequence of these actions seem to be making themselves felt now, as EVE Online prepares to become a battlefield again....

According to a theory on Reddit, the arrival of the Deviants to the MCU may have been in the works for quite some time now. In 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, there was a scene where Chris Hemsworth’s Thor received a vision involving “a whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life.” The vision depicted some sort of asteroid approaching Earth, and fans were quick to notice that it looked very similar to a shot in the latest Eternals trailer....

But no, I do it my own way - I like my own style....
