That’s the smile of a kid who knows he rubbed his penis all over that gun.

I’m not counting the Leafs out yet. Without Bergeron, the Bruins have maybe two-and-a-half lines that I trust to hold things tight, and given how lights out the Leafs - especially Andersen - played in Game 3... I’m remembering Van Reimsdyk was on that Flyers team that crushed the Bruins from being up 3 games to none…

The “formula for WAR” values guys playing defensive positions because it’s valuable. Because being at least semi-capable of fielding a position competently allows your team to put another bat in the lineup at DH. It also recognizes that maybe, just maybe, running after fly balls in the June heat affects players and…

I would just like to say suck it, Harold Ballard.

Watch Freddie’s eyes follow the puck the entire way to his paddle and then come back a rewrite your bad take.

This is spoken like someone who has never played goalie in his life.

Wingels also threw a nice little elbow to the jaw though...

I am. But I wanted a post about the Pens-Flyers game for the sure to be insane and entertaining comments. There are sure to be some insane and entertaining comments on THIS post, but I wanted to enjoy insane and entertaining comments about teams who are not MY teams, because those are much more fun. No stress.

How did they miss the goaltender interference on that one. Andersen had no chance to make the save because the guy was on top of him. And i suppose we can also ignore the part where Wingals elbows Marner in the head. As long as this garbage reffing goes the leafs way at home fine, but somehow i doubt that

Calling in a bomb threat on a train because some lady didn’t want to put up with your drunken antics? That’s a real... loco motive.

There really is a benefit, in a democracy, to working towards a society that takes seriously the concerns of marginalized groups, and refuses to depict or celebrate offensive caricatures and stereotypes, or otherwise accept racism in any form. And you can confirm this by asking just about any non-white person in our…

I think you missed the point of what I said. Nobody is upset about crowd noise; they’re upset about individual people yelling at inopportune times when there’s relative silence. You’re still allowed to clap and cheer when somebody does something good lol.

You have, at minimum, three chances to hit a pitch in baseball. The ball is always travelling from the same distance, you’re always trying to hit it in between the same foul lines, the strike zone varies but not by much, and if you’ve made it to the MLB you’ve most likely seen every break a pitch can take at every…

I was about to say the exact same thing. Super Mario was scary good yet toiled in obscurity because his team sucked ass. Would not reinvest into the team.

Yeah, I think the Jets are a really good team. My concern with them is whether Hellebuyck can keep it going in the post season, but I think they have all the pieces a Cup winner needs. Nashville has the edge, but that could be one hell of a series if they play each other.

Lemieux is the analog here. Generational talent on a terrible team for the first six or seven years of his career, putting up astounding stats and getting unfairly underrated in the Hart race. Lemieux’s Hart loss in 1989 is particularly absurd.

Fun mussel fact for east coast people: PEI Mussels are almost always (possibly always) grown on a line instead of the seabed, so they have either very little or no sediment in them, which makes them great for people who don’t know anything about purging shellfish (or who don’t want to bother like me). Not sure if…

It depends on the year. There aren’t always this many good QBs to draft, and even promising QBs flake out at a pretty high rates - whereas running backs tend to be known quantities. So I can totally buy a team picking an RB in the top four sometimes. Maybe not this one, but sometimes.

I dunno, man. I don’t agree.

counterpoint: the Rams and the Jags were two of the most surprising teams in the league last year, and they both leaned heavily on RBs they drafted in the top five. And let’s not forget about the Cowboys. Their RB, drafted in the top-five, is the difference between championship contention (when he plays) and…
