I’m flashing back to the “obstruction” penalty era in the NHL. Which was so successful that it slid quietly into the sea a couple years later, never to be heard from again.

I don’t know about shame, but the world could use less self-righteousness.

If he blew .204 then this is more like doing 110 in a 55.

I find it far more likely that he’d call the cops if he knew the guy. I bet there is a lame beef between these two that has been building for a while.

Let’s remember some doctors

Notre Dame stadium seats more than Soldier Field and is a train ride away from downtown Chicago.

The real news here is that Canada’s men’s national soccer team (ranked 79th, highest ever rank 40th, 1 WC final appearance, 0 WC final goals) will probably get a free pass to the big show.

Right? Like, I hope Ovi parties as hard as he wants to, but I also hope the Capitals organization has somebody following him at a discreet distance.

I love these stories. Cheers to your grandpa.

They also have one more than the Leafs over the same period.

As a kid, every Saturday morning I would park my ass in front of the television for many consecutive hours watching terrible cartoons* with ads for garbage toys or sugar-bomb cereal. I wouldn’t stop watching until the afternoon when the networks switched to, like, obscure Eastern European sports, and EVEN THEN…

I was trying to think of the hockey version of the buttfumble. I came up with two options, appropriately enough both involving the Oilers.

But you repeat yourself.

I am a middle-aged white guy and I really don’t want to hear your music. (Especially — and I don’t know why this is a sudden trend — blasting out of your shitty iPhone speakers on the subway. Fuck off with that.)

I mean, I don’t particularly like what the guy does. I felt the same way about Avery. But I do find it pretty funny that his job is to make people so angry that they lose all perspective on life, and that’s exactly what is happening. On last night’s broadcast, Kypreos and Hrudey sounded like they wanted to send the…

I got no love for Marchand, but I gotta hand it to him. His job is to make people mad and he’s damn good at it.

The Alouettes hold Kaep’s CFL rights. He should kneel and give the Canadian flag two middle fingers during the anthem; would fit right in.

Came here for this. Je n’étais pas déçu.

HNIC could be doing a lot better. I guess Grapes is grandfathered in (literally), but I say promote Cassie Campbell to the analysts desk with Ron and Friedman, and get Hrudey and Kypreos out of there. Watching those two meatheads try to string coherent sentences together makes me want to claw my eyeballs out.

What’s remarkable about this debate is how many cishet white males (I’m one, no idea if you are) have strong opinions about who is a woman athlete, and how little anybody appears to give a fuck what women athletes think. I don’t think that’s right.
