Eleven

This kid is going to be a Sabre. Not right now, but he will be. And we will be glad for it.

Hey, commish, want to take a look at why I'm listed as 1-1 rather than 2-0?

There is a black man in a leprechaun outfit at the Notre Dame game. Heavens to Betsy! He is disrespecting Gaelic culture!

Especially important in an organization where a coach was fired recently for not getting to know the players well enough.

HOCKEY TONIGHT!!!!!

I discussed this over breakfast with a friend who is Canadian and brown. Not that he speaks for all brown people, or all Canadians, or all brown Canadians, but he thinks this whole thing is nonsense. If people pay heed to this, Canada is going to end up with Scheer, who truly does not care about others' feelings. This is Canada's "Hillary email moment." I hope you survive it. EDIT: Also, this: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-brownface-photo-trudeau-west-point-grey-1.5290814?cmp=rss Seriously, everyone needs to calm the ***** down over stuff like this. No malice intended --> leave it alone.

It's an upgrade over just Peters and Rivet, but just about anything would be.

I don't know the circumstances or context, but seeing that he has his arms around two Sikhs (?) who seem to be smiling genuinely, I can't see that his actions were intended to offend. It looks like he was just attending a cultural celebration of some sort. I would think the counterexamples are completely square, especially the ones about the opera and Eddie Murphy, as both involve people dressing and putting on makeup to appear to be someone of another race.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madama_Butterfly#/media/File:Madame_Butterfly_-_7.3.1985_(Zora_Jehličková,_Blanka_Vítková)(foto_Oldřich_Pernica).jpg The whole railing against so-called "cultural appropriation" has gotten ridiculous. Where do we draw the line? Can Eastern European women no longer sing Butterfly? Should we ban Seiji Ozawa (Asian) from conducting a multi-national orchestra playing German (Europe) music in Boston (North America)? Do I throw out my The Who albums because Brits shouldn't engage in "maximum R&B"? Is it wrong for Eddie Murphy to wear makeup to appear as a white man?

You are VERY close. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K._C._Irving_Regional_Centre. 3162 seats and some standing room. Still, to me, that's very, very small for NHLers, even if they have played in smaller ones before. It's actually not even in the "hockeyville," Renous, NB, because their rink is too small. https://o.canada.com/sports/hockey/nhl/hockey-inside-out/stu-cowan-canadiens-greeted-by-sea-of-red-sweaters-in-bathurst/wcm/9319e0ef-7b53-4c7c-b4c4-6ebcdbbc3917 . Searching "Tom Donavan Arena," which actually is in Renous, produces next to nothing.

They will show the whole thing one more time, I hope. There is only one level of seating and you are basically seeing all of it.

It is. NHL Network

The Kraft Hockeyville game is on right now. I always like watching NHLers play in the small barns.

Nope. But I do occasionally put my Fawcett action figure and Trubisky bobblehead in compromising positions.

Oh, no doubt have I said positive things about him, and I still think he's going to be very good, but it's not like I've replaced my Farrah Fawcett poster with one of Mitch Trubisky or anything.

How have I become known for this?!

A bunch of BS needless complications IMO.

They're trying to get Okposo on LTIR.

My suspicion is that they are being protected in case there is a trade.

We don't know that, because he's never had a true shot since his freshman year. Also, did James Caan just score a goal?

I mean long-term too. If Mittlestadt and Cozens can't take the 2C opportunity away from Reinhart, why not give it to him?

I'm ready to try Reinhart there again. I was ready last year.

Is it a requirement that a goalie wear a NASCAR number to play in Columbus? We've gone from 70 to 80 now. You haven't heard that from me. I thought (and still think) that he is their most reasonably tradeable asset, but I definitely think he belongs.

That was a beautiful goal. And a great screen.

This will go down as his defining moment, I am coming to realize. Nothing he can do will be able to fill the hole that, as you point out, he created.
