Considering I’ve watched it now 20 times in slow motion and can’t really tell either way, I’m okay with the non-call. But I certainly think they have to blow the play dead if you have a d-man down on the ice with the puck in the neutral zone.

This.

And the Lightning’s 6-5 win over the Islanders...

Dude, Boyle elbowed Hickey directly in the head, and it left Hickey down, woozy and out of the play, directly leading to the goal. Was it as bad as the Orpik hit? No. Was it illegal and should it have been a penalty? Yes. Instead, it decided the game.

And in both head-to-head fantasy leagues I’m in, I’m facing this dude this week. Grrrr.

Honestly, I hate when the leagues do this. The NBA and the NHL release these kinds of statements all the time during the playoffs, and it doesn’t do fans any good. I get that they’re trying to be transparent about poor calls, and — as a result —put the story to bed. But if I were a Spurs fan, it wouldn’t make me feel…

Big Bart makes one too excited to concern one’s self with grammar.

And people wonder how the Dodgers ended up spending $300 million for a team with Justin Turner as its three hitter...

Someone drive this woman three hours south to the WWE Performance Center to teach a promo class, because this is legitimately better than 75 percent of the main roster’s mic skills right now.

Best job: Anything stable that can offer some semblance of a work-life balance.

While the detective gig may have been more stable, there’s a surprising amount of money in Swanton Bombing off ladders and taking copious amounts of drugs.

Agreed. And this is a big step forward for their organization, so good for them.

I’m 99 percent sure that I made those same bubble letters on my notebook in 6th grade.

Running shoes don’t melt steel!

BREAKING: Exclusively-obtained footage of Flair going through security:

“Mr. Flair, your shoes may very well cost more than my house, but you still need to take them off while going through security.”

Skip Bayliss? Not a top-five ESPN personality of all-time, and here’s why: He simply doesn’t have the mental make up to elevate all the other personalities on the roster. He’s not the type of personality that can carry a network, and we’ve seen it time and time again. The system is what makes him what he is. So do I…

It’s worth seeing for Cuba Gooding, Jr.’s performance alone. He’s amazing.

Thanks, man. We’re treating Johnny Rocket well for you. Still can’t believe Chiarelli did that to you guys. But Zdeno won you a Cup for you guys (I know there was a stop in Ottawa in between), so you have that on us.
