He was unhinged well before that play, too.

Trying too hard, I think.

No it isn't. Unless it's been changed via dialect. I only know basic Russian, but I know that the word is moloko, and not "mi-LETCH-ko."

There is a cadre here that thinks that building from the net out fell out of fashion. It didn't. If she can afford The Taft School and Harvard, she can afford a vowel.

How does one pronounce that? And her accent is harsh, but her comments are right on. I do need a little more Canadian lilt in the accent, though. Maybe we can get dudacek to work with her or something.

I don't know who is commenting the TB-CAR game, but she's better than most NBC color commenters and is a LOT better than Rob Ray.

Omigosh people are arguing over Johann freaking Larsson.

Yeah, don't get it, as usual. I don't know what it's from or what it's supposed to convey.

Montreal is not "built for the playoffs." Montreal has Carey Price. That team isn't going to beat freaking Winnipeg (as you say) because Hellebyuck is better than Price. And that's it. And whichever one comes out of it is going to face a reckoning from a team that IS built for the playoffs.

Hey @spndnchz would you please unpin the first round thread and pin this one?

If it's going to be offense, it should be a tight end and not another receiver. They're set at receiver. I wouldn't mind an upgrade in the backfield but I don't see it happening, and I think that McDermott is ok with his line. I could see a defensive back.

The Leaves have been irrelevant for far longer than the Sabres have. The last time they made a run, the Sabres took them out in 5. They just get a lot of attention, is all. I don't really hate them in the way that I hate the Flyers or Bruins, or even Senators.

It is. Sorry, @New Scotland (NS) The food is bad. (EDIT: Not Ohio bad. It's not like there were pictures of food on the menus.) The people are wonderful.

It was amazing to listen to Toronto fans wanting to trade Marner and Mathews after the game tonight. AM 590 if you're in reach. Amazing. Reminded me of some website somewhere.

It is possible that I didn't go to the right places, but I do have native guides. I'm leaving later today. I'm sorry to inform you that Papa J's is no more.

That ump was actually very funny.

Dammit @Norcal I don't start this thread for men's tennis! But I suppose do with it what you will...

Las Vegas is out of control.

Random city review. Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is the capital of Applachia in the same way that Chicago is the capital of the Midwest. There, the comparisons end. Emerson Etem would be well-schooled if he were in downtown Pittsburgh; there is nothing to do here, just as there was nothing to do in downtown Buffalo back then. I stand by my statement from back then, that downtown is for business and other areas are for fun. (Yes, freeman, we all are aware that NYC has downtown business and fun, and we also are aware that it is the dirtiest and smelliest place in the US.) Food: Just don't bother. Everything is a chain. Even in areas comparable to Elmwood or Hertel, there are Hard Rock Cafe, Joe's Crab Shack, Texas de Brazil, and Bucca di Beppo. You'll find the same dining at the Walden Galleria as you will here. The local "thing" is Primanti Bros., which, if you actually don't know about it already, is an average sandwich with fries in the sandwich. Meh. Putting French fries in an average sandwich does not elevate the sandwich. There seems to be no equivalent of a Tempo or Oliver's here; it's all just chain. Even the high-end places. Frankly, I feel like I'm in Ohio on this one. Beer: Since my friends here are big microbrew fetishists, I expected to see some nice stuff on tap. Nope. And I have been around to enough places this holiday weekend to take note, even if I'm not a beer guy. Yuengling, Iron City, and your standard American macros. People: The people could not possibly be nicer! Everywhere you go, it's just nice after nice after nice. (Well, the customers, anyway. The staff at bars, restaurants, and hotel are kind of surly, but maybe there's a reason for that so I give them a break.) Need directions? Nice. What's good on the menu? (Nothing, but they're still nice.) Everywhere I have been, just nice, friendly people. Church: Had a lovely Mass this morning. Music and everything, a lot better than what we are at back home. And again, so friendly: "Hi, I am new here," "Hi, where from," etc. Ballpark: PNC may be the nicest park I ever have been to. It is beautiful. The sightlines are great from every area (oh, I walked it three times); the seats are so comfortable even in the cheap areas, and the view of the outfield is inimitable: one of the rivers (I get confused among the three) is right there, with a bunch of boats, and then there is the downtown skyline. They designed this park RIGHT. The food is meh (see above) but parking was $3 for a ten-minute walk to the park. That's cheaper than the Bisons-area parking. If you like baseball, or even if you just like baseball parks, you've got to see this one. Drivers: Considerably better than Buffalo. There's a lot of weird stuff to navigate around here, considering the mountains and rivers, and people do it well. Hotel: I can't wait to get home to slam the **** out of this place on every possible website.

You're making my point.

I like that both games are today. I just wish they were spaced out a bit.

And when they refuse to give you their real names? Or when they come back anyway?

It stops there at least twice per day and I have used that station many times for meetings at Turningstone!

The Lightning have abolished their stupid no opposing jersey policy.

I only know this from spending way too much time reading a reddit thread about the situation. That place is a time sink like no other.
