I said it was an opinion, one that may be a minority but is shared by the stewards (as well as Jolyon Palmer, doing analysis for the BBC, and Damon Hill). I wrote dispassionately, without insulting anyone. I don’t see why you found it necessary to attack me for “bias”.

Well, I guess my opinion isn’t going to be popular... Vettel went off the track. He came back on and veered into the racing line before gaining control, forcing Hamilton to slow down and slide most of the car off the track. He broke the rules and was penalized accordingly. The ruling the stewards gave after the race,…

At least Binnington’s pad was pushed on that one and could very well have been a no-goal on interference.

For that matter, the NHL is the National Hockey League. Guess what country “National” stood for when it was founded in 1917? (Hint: it isn’t the United States.)

What is it about pit lane today? Sergio Perez almost took out two track marshals in Monaco when they crossed the pit exit during the safety car, just as he was exiting from a tire change. And the marshals in Monaco are considered some of the best the business.

“Fourth? That's not bad!” (I know, it was from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, but it's still my favourite.)

What gets me is that this wasn’t reviewable, but if a missed offside had happened when the Sharks entered the zone that could have been reviewed. I don’t want the game to get to NFL levels of slowmo replay that takes forever to adjudicate, but surely you could have a replay official in Toronto whose job is to follow…

Point of order: the first race in Baku was a boring processional, arguably the worst race that year. Every race there since has been thrilling, but for a year it looked like F1 had made a huge mistake staging a race there.

Sorry, ignore that. I didn’t realize that hadn’t picked free shipping. I’m an idiot...

Hey, buddy, put an NSFW tag on that function already!

I was going to say, “The teams that go up against the Bruins are going to take a licking” but you beat me to it.

How’s this for irony: the Dallas Stars just received an awarded goal due to a thrown Florida Panthers stick spoiling an empty net attempt by Radulov.

Oh, boy. Yeah, you need to read up on this. The “Superbowl Loser” t-shirts are a tiny, tiny tip of the iceberg. A decade ago, the selling of used clothing in developing nations was a $1.9 billion industry. It has created thousands of jobs in developing nations, but it also collapsed local textile manufacturing. It is,…

Bet Gord Downie is third (to name another person lost too soon to cancer).

I think in this case it was technically a glass floor.

As a Stars fan, I’ve come to expect that we can’t have nice things. There was a palpable difference when Zuccarello was on the ice, yesterday, and not just because he scored a goal and an assist. The offense was different, and better... for a period and a bit. If we’re lucky, we’ll get him back with 20% of the…

If you’re really Brian May — or, should I say, Dr. May — explain what you learned from your study of the radial velocity of interplanetary dust!

For me it was Call of Cthulhu, in various incarnations, throughout the 90s. My second favorite game is Delta Green.
