Maybe Bryson and Lybuskin don’t need to play anymore. Just a thought.

This is, um, not great.

Oh for *****’s sake.

Really? Ugh.

this is the thing they're wholesale ripping off. Skinny nailed it.

I’m fairly certain there’s an injunction somewhere requiring him to stay at least 500 meters away from any and all Timmy Ho’s location, given past events…

In all fairness I throw far less poo than unused to, so maybe lemme have this one… Back on topic: Jeff Skinner is, in fact, fine.

I mean, for those not familiar with “Between Two Ferns” it’s… a wholesale ripoff of that, but still funny, I suppose.

He’s still sub-900 on the season and there’s a lot of season left for him to pull that down further, which he very well might do considering his historical numbers. Defense notwithstanding I don’t trust him.

We don’t need to kvetch this hard over whether Levi will be the answer several years from now. We need a dude to stop pucks at slightly better than league average from low until then. That dude is not here.

Oh, and loser points. I hate this league so much sometimes…

Yeah, I get the Prince of Wales of it all, but there aren’t 16 teams anymore. Add that that the lopsided nature of the current conferences/divisions and it’s just, like…. Bleh.

This is just going to make it funnier when Tampa runs them out in 5 games, imho. At least there’s one good thing about the indefensible playoff format.

The only hope the premier league has of remaining a going concern in the next few years is relegating Man City straight down the the National League ASAP and sending a copy of the decision to Chelsea, Newcastle, and now ManU with the good parts highlighted. Otherwise, the entire exercise will be a pointless sports washing exercise for petro-fascist regimes and we’ll all welcome the closed-shop Euro league with open arms.

Ah, balls.

Olafsson with the learn-to-skate league effort on the back check there…

Alright, who flipped the switch on Mitts’ back from suck to good? Please make my wholesale refusal to believe in you look dumb, young man…

I'm currently navigating the shark-infested Machiavellian dystopian hell-dimension that is 12U travel softball (as a parent, anyway) If the entire point of the exercise is to have these kids learn about working hard to achieve things, dealing with adversity, and social development / teamwork as is my understanding, then maybe let the kids do the things. It's frightening the extent to which parents are apparently forgetting this in favor of vicarious success. I feel sorry for a lot of these kids. Parents putting pressure on coaches/clubs, yanking kids out of teams and onto others believing there's an advantage to be had regardless of the fact that we're dealing with 11 year old girls here and they are not agents for pro athletes... it's constantly amazing.

If we can make it through until noon tomorrow, we're drinking from the firehose for the rest of the schedule. We got this....

Danny Briere wasn’t terrified of the puck at any point. Again, I’d love to be wrong. But I don’t think I am.

He’s about to turn 25. If he was going to figure it out he’d have figured it out. Mitts has somehow personified the Peter Principle and the Sunk cost Fallacy in one dude. Which I suppose can only happen in pro sports (over here with our salary caps and mandated parity). Happy to be proven wrong. Don’t think I will be. Did you watch this game tonight?

I must say, I am enjoying watching Tage become dent & scratch Lemieux.

To-may-to, To-ma-to.
