Lars Eller seems to keep getting better for the Washington Capitals.

The Wire Troll: Tyler Toffoli on the Trade Block

Eller has been hot lately, racking up five points over his last five games, while going +2 with 10 shots and one short-handed marker. He slipped a tad offensively last season, but with 10 points in his first 14 games, he could he headed for a career best. Eller was seeing time on the second line earlier this season, but he’s now spearheading the third line.

Blu-ray Review: The Kitchen

While the idea is interesting, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The way that the various shop owners just go along with the idea of three women undercutting the mob with basically no questions asked seemed lazy and absurd. It feels like they went from broke to successful overnight, and since no struggle or adversity is shown in reaching that point it doesn’t provide a reason to feel happy for them. They blew through that aspect of the story far too quickly in a rush to start piling up the dead bodies.

Video Game Review: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD

Our biggest complaint, however, is the camera, which remains locked in place as you try to move around these winding levels, often to your detriment. It felt incredibly outdated to not have the option to swing the camera around for a cleaner look or more subtle adjustments, and the constant motion of the screen was borderline stomach turning after a while — it’s worse in handheld mode. There are also some mini-games that offer different setups, all of which at least control adequately.

Aron Baynes will be asked to carry a bigger workload for the Phoenix Suns.

The Wire Troll: Aron Baynes Rising in Phoenix

Hill looks like he’s going to provide value as the Bucks’ sixth man this season, and the fact that he went a team-best +16 in season opener underscores how valuable he is to this team. Always a solid free throw shooter, he flirted with a double-double on Thursday, and it’s looking like he’s going to get much more PT than he received after getting dealt to Milwaukee last season. Hill’s an athletic guard, but has generally been limited by his defense, so coming off the bench suits his game better.

Video Game Review: Untitled Goose Game

Here you’ll control a mischievous goose, adept at all manner of, ahem, “fowl” behaviour. Moving it around is fun, and we couldn’t resist honking at everything and everyone, but picking up objects can be a tad finicky when they’re packed closely together. Punishment for failure means little, though, with an NPC typically replacing the item, allowing you to try again. It’s never enough to cause tangible frustration.
