I get your point, but since the beginning he has always been cleared legally. There have been no charges made.

“With the penalty, the Ravens went from what would have been a second-and-4 from the 7-yard line to a first-and-15 from the 18. Baltimore ended up settling for a 44-yard field goal.”

+ 2, type

I'm sure he still had taxes removed from his paycheck, as all employees do. He just gets all of it back when he filed his return.

I love the fact that Ovechkin outed himself. Well handled by everyone involved.

• Chara was born in Czechoslovakia

Whose idea was it to have the Bruins development camp only during the week?

Supposed to be to $10.4 million by 2019, but also the Bucks contribute to $130MM of the Wisconsin GDP every year, per John Koskinen, chief economist for the state Department of Revenue

I get what your saying, but it is a team sport.

there should only be one flip.....

As a Reds fan, I always figured he more guilty than we were led to believe. That said, I still think a lifetime ban is way too harsh of a punishment. Bobby Cox and Kirby Puckett can beat women and be in the BHOF, but Pete can’t? How’s that reasoning work? As long as you keep it off the field, you can still get in? You…

Yeah, I guess in that sense you are correct.

Nah, it’s actually what people use to quit. Nicotine free and gives same feeling physically, but no buzz or anything like that. Which makes it seem like he used to do it, but is trying to quit. Even though they say he doesn’t/didn’t do it. You can look up Smokey Mountain Herbal Chew and their tag line is about…

Rarely, but yes. Batting average is divided by ABs while OBP is divided by AB, BB, HBP, Sacrifices. So as a pitcher he probably has a couple sacrifices with minimal to no BB and HBP, which is causing the denominator to be higher than it is in his average

I love Joel Ward and everything about him. An undrafted CIS guy, made his way to the NHL. He played great all playoffs, works hard, and does the right things. More Joel, please!

Agreed, but Boyle was never facing Backstrom. Backstrom had from the face off dot in to see numbers and not hit him. If it was a sudden move/turn then I feel your point would be more apt, but Boyle had his back turned the whole time

Thoughts on the hit aside, that is 100% not an elbow. “Elbowing shall mean the use of an extended elbow in a manner that may or may not cause injury,” is how the rule book reads. That is not an extended elbow. His arm straightened, but after the hit. His elbow was perfectly tucked, it does not really matter if his…

5 more games of that, please

And maybe not as obviously, but slashes with that force and to that location do happen every game

The not near the puck argument is just incorrect. That doesn’t matter. If Karlsson shot the puck and Stone deflected it in, the coaching staff would have not been happy with PK for not tying up the stick. Karlsson faked the shot and PK instinctively turned and swung his stick and to tie up Stone’s stick. He hit him…
