Eleven

How was there not a goal there...

"Brought to you by ____ vodka." "Drink responsibly." Pick one. No one drinks vodka responsibly. It is made specifically for irresponsible drinking. It isn't Bourbon, ffs.

There we go. Skinner on Skinner violence.

I don't think I'm going to love this ESPN announcer.

Oh I am REAL ok with 12 right now! He's the goalie. Or which Skinner? I'm so confused.

This whole Skinner thing is very confusing. Will Armand Tanzarian be making an appearance?

Awwwww

I can't. The strongest thing the doctors allow me is Truly Pineapple, and even that is only once a month.

While I'd like to, it seems that (a) that would be justifiable and (b) I don't have powers to arrest people. Not even @Taro T, who has committed many, many crimes.

It's just so dumb. Sorry, @Doohickie, I know you don't like it when I criticize the NHL's broadcasting "system." But it's just so dumb. Have a fun dad birthday, ink.

It's top 5 now. Not far off.

So do I. I actually had a dream about it last night. Sunset. There was a balding white dude, kind of looked like Darcy Regier, with a big hand-drawn sign saying "PIMLACH" around his neck--white cardboard, black Sharpie, and tied with hardware-store white string. He had a Colonel Sanders tie going. He was delivering a bouquet of dandelions and carrots to McDermott. McDermott took the carrots and threw away the dandelions, and then began some sort of weird interpretive dance on the sideline and upon the dandelions--empty stadium, not even any players. And @inkman was selling hot dogs in the empty stands. Disturbing. I may have to cut back on the melatonin.

RORLTIR, and Tavares is doubtful for tomorrow, too. Per Sheldon as reported by Elliotte. Damn, you Canadians have some weird first names.

His twitter is up.

Sitting Jost in favor of Olofsson while Samuelsson and Stillman are out doesn't seem ideal. I guess Granato really must be planning on out-scoring the Oilers.

Oh I'm not really on it. It was a one-off comment. Anyway, the instability of Georgia aside, the idea of a third team in Atlanta is really stupid. The first ownership group tried really hard to make the Flames work, no matter what revisionist history is being peddled now by people who want to try this futile experiment again, and the initial second ownership group did too. It was only the successor Thrashers ownership group that was half-hearted (due to internal squabbling), and still, it was half-hearted rather than no-hearted. Atlantans should stick to college football and NASCAR, and maybe try supporting the Braves a little bit. Hockey there makes no sense, and neither does repeating this disastrous idea every 20 years. (Would I put a Big Ten football team in Buffalo? No. That also would make no sense.)

On SabreSpace? Never!

Oh, it's not mine to take.

This took a minute and a half. I'm sure there's plenty more.

If the NHL was smart, it would GTFO of the south, which wants to become its own country.

There's already fake news out there saying that Atlanta failed twice because of bad ownership. It's like the league planted these pieces. We all watched it. Some of us watched it twice. And somehow, you feel free to comment on the sports market in Buffalo, where you do not live.

Nah, we don't really have to care what happens to Tampa.

Granato should publicly ask for an explanation. Doing it after a win makes it more credible, too.

Is that a "Refs, you suck" chant?

How was Okposo not tripped there?
