Well that’s awkward.

Winter classic 2030

It says a lot about the state of college hockey that BU just named two juniors and two sophomores at their captains. Last yeah they had a sophomore captain. They have one senior on the team and he’s a transfer. I’m sure it happened, but I don’t remember any non-senior captains under Jack Parker. We’re deep into the days of one- and two-and-dones.

I do get a kick out of the games people say by saying down by 15 with 4 minutes left. I do it too. They started that drive down 15 with 7:16 left (how’s that for an omen?). So this was really a 7 minute comeback, not 4. And I don’t mean to take a thing away from them by saying it. We need to add as much drama as we can to make the stories and memories that much better.

The other part of the Bills win is that they had to score 3 times due to that missed conversion. I’m guessing you’re probably right with your suggestion here that these type of wins probably come in OT.

Or how about if the last two point conversion actually works? Baltimore gets the ball with around 2 minutes left in a tie game, only needing a field goal to win. The whole thing is just a perfect (and lucky) sequence of events that resulted in the perfect ending.

My random thought during that sequence of plays was that if you're Baltimore, maybe you don't call the timeouts. Anything you do is an incredibly low probability at that point, but maybe keeping the clock running messes with the Bills' plans.

Where‘s @inkman when you need him?

They weren’t wrong. Take it easy on Skynet, they might forgive you later.

Seeing Jackson wearing that stupid hood reminded me of exactly why he will continue to fall short in the playoffs. I’m pretty sure I said the same exact thing during that playoff game last year where he looked like he was freezing to death early.

This win means so much more too knowing that the Ravens have actual competition in their division. That battle for the 1 seed is off to a good start.

I hope you had the defibrillator ready.

What a slacker

I feel like Coleman is going to make the leap this year.

All I’m saying is that I would gladly have McDaniel coaching in the AFC east for life.

The only problem is that, just like the jets, when they fire their coach we run the slight risk of them finally making the right hire.

If you want them to do something like this or to spend to the cap, those are two completely different animals. Pick a lane… or at least pick an eastern conference team.

You mean like Buffalo did when they traded for Ben Bishop? You’re right, it’s not something the Sabres would do.

I like him even more after reading that.

I’m a little confused here. Why does the team have to do anything when a player changes numbers? Even offering up a name plate change for a price is more than used to ever be available. Buying a jersey with a name on it doesn’t give you a lifetime of name changes. That guy isn’t wearing that number forever.

Did Skinner use that contract to buy Playboy?

They have to be. There’s no way they did that by accident.

All I know about Silver is that he looks like the scream painting. So he does get some points for that.

And he plays it so well. I don’t know a thing about the guys running baseball and bouncyball these days, but Bettman was the first one to show some personality.

That may be the first time I've ever heard it. But as for Bettman, the moment he became self aware, he became the greatest commissioner in sports. They're all so boring, but at least he played into the booing.
