“In turn, Zulu Nation called Campbell ‘both a liar and a government paid police informant.’”

But this didn’t “deflect” off the goalie’s body. It came to a stop, the goalie knocked it in.

To be fair, with the crap quality and total lack of consistency with NHL officiating, I’m sure he or she has seen exactly that logic applied in a game.

It sort of is. If the order is kick, opposing team stick, net, or if it’s kick, goalie possession, net, then it stands. Possession is hard to determine, but in this case, the goalie was pretty clearly in possession of the puck for a half second or so before it crossed the line. If there were a delayed penalty, the…

It wasn’t kicked in. You can line up and kick the puck like Cristiano Ronaldo taking a penalty kick, but unless it goes straight in the net or directly off the goalie, it’s a good goal. If your teammate touches it or the other team touches it, it’s still a good goal.

And lose a home game to the imperial louses, too.

Pretty big reach to suggest without any evidence that Gordon’s own people leaked the story. It would make a lot more sense for it to come from the Commisioner’s office, since they’re the ones who failed to act in the 60 days (i.e. “There’s more to the story.”).

Look, you smuggle in an octopus, you’re gonna throw the octopus.

The framing of this story on Philly alone is strange. Before last night, the Bruins had lost 8 of their last 10, including games against bottom-feeders Carolina, New Jersey, and Columbus. They were at the top of their division not that long ago and now face a 50-50 proposition for the playoffs. This after the exact…

Sounds a lot like greenies in the MLB. Someone (or lots of someones) in Russia dropped the ball when it comes to keeping up with standards.

Note Correa smiling to himself on first: he knows he got away with something.

The most optimistic idea there is that Stammer has maybe not already decided to go elsewhere. The rest is very logical: it's a good point.

Not bad, but the median BC undergrad has hotter Rudy takes than this.

It’s already been mansplained by the knuckle-dragging apes who frequent these parts, but how about thoughts on the USWNT’s lawsuit from a female perspective?

On 7, Alt, H, I, R and Alt, H, I, C are more intuitive for me.

Writes a headline about the USMNT.

So effing true. The Sabres had that dumb nomination blurb about Ryan O’Reilly for the Masterton where they said he’s leading the team with 17 goals. By today’s stats, Chuck Kobasew’s goal totals would make him a top-line player.

I don’t feel nearly as upset about this as I expected to be. Like Barry said, Bettman is having the same discussion that the media and fans have been having for the last five-ten years. And Meagher is saying they’d be willing to invest in making the game safer if the PA will meet them halfway.

Mine is a similar story, but no FIFA: Didier Drogba and Chelsea were my gateway drug. I remember watching the World Cup, then later seeing the rosters for RM, Barcelona, and Bayern and thinking, “Holy hell...”

Totally agree. To say nothing of the Yellow Wall!
