Eleven

Relax. I'm not the only poster who has commented that the WC semi is the slowest and least urgent semifinal in ages.

I have one of these. It's the only way I can find the bathroom in the middle of the night, especially if I don't want to put my specs on. It's very useful.

No, it really isn't. This series is SO SLOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW Florida is going to make Vegas play hockey.

Is there another team in this game? Most hockey games have two teams.

Todd Sadowski can't be happy.

Hershey laid down a "kiss" about 10 seconds in.

Wow, well, "Chocolatetown USA" just took on a new meaning.

I didn't know that Fox 43 sports director Todd Sadowski would be present. I feel like I should have dressed up a bit.

Well, as explained above, I'm a bandwagon fan. So LET'S GO AMERKKKKKKSSSSSSSSS

Well, the US has done a nice job of pissing away a 2 goal lead with 5 minutes left. But scored the OT winner. 20 of 21 points, not too shabby.

Also, happy Sherlock Holmes day, everyone. Go hound some Baskervilles.

There's a bonus for just showing up?! Also, I have to share a casino story w/ you, from your state. Erie, specifically. I'll write it down some day...

Is there ANY chance of this thread returning to its topic?

No, every team has played 6 group games now. The elimination rounds start Thursday.

He called him Craig at some point last week; I posted about it if you want to search.

Frederik "Craig" (if you listen to that twit Albert) Andersen is back in net tonight.

Canada has no good goaltending strategy. It's like Granato!

Canes fans are really stepping up their a (hole) game: https://www.canucksdaily.com/MAJOR-Panthers-forced-out-of-the-airport-after-a-serious-threat-from-a-Canes-fan-238679

It is concerning that he can't take the net from Hofer and Montembeault. Then again, there's no way that Canada should be losing to Switzerland and tying Norway, so maybe the coaches are the problem.

The clarity of hindsight is a wonderful thing...I don't remember too many people here being down on the Housley and Balsam hirings at the time. Quite the opposite; people were excited. As for Johnson, I don't care whether he signs or not, but I do want him to make a decision now so that the Sabres can plan. As I said a couple of months ago, the team should give him a deadline.

He was fine. He was a developing defenseman. The usual negs on here didn't like him, but he was fine. Can we have an end to this now already?

If my math is right, he can just get on a plane, because that is exactly how many games Canada has left to play even if it goes to the final.

You two have no idea how hard I had to work to figure out you were discussing COLIN Miller, whose tenure I don't even remember even though it is very recent. Montour was a decent defenseman--he needed some polishing--but he was ok here. Miller, I still have no idea who we're talking about, even though I've now looked it up.

I don't love Tkachuk, but I do love his OT goal celebration of just finding the door and leaving the rink.

1. It's "Hochul." 2. Yes, he is, and he was a bigshot well before she was. 3. I don't like her and never did. I have personal experience with her, and there also are things in her public record that trouble me--well before she even was the Erie County Clerk. 4. That's not why. It has absolutely nothing to do with it.
