Ah yes, the famously not dirty hockey player Brad Marchand.

Sucks when it happens to a team like the Bruins.

There wasn’t a conclusive angle that showed it over the line AND you had Binnington’s pad clearly being pushed back into the net by a Bruin stick. There’s almost no chance that would have been called a goal.

God what a gross bit of trivia that makes complete sense. I honestly wasn’t sure I’d ever get to see these guys even in the Final. I just assumed they’d always bow out after the second round... endlessly.

This is a weird take since it’s not Blues fans complaining about this goal.

At that point it doesn’t even matter. If it’s going to be icing the whistle is blown before they even reach the boards. That’s the whole “no-touch” part of it. Either the linesman determines in advance that the defenseman is going to get to the puck first, or it’s not icing.

From a cultural significance / respect standpoint, winning with the Knicks for the first time since the 70s is a much bigger deal than winning with the Clippers. Sure, LA is a huge market and the Clippers have never won, but it’s a market that is always going to belong to the Lakers first. They’ve won quite a bit, and…

Favorite part of that last sequence is when Schwartz came barreling in on Trouba behind the net and launched himself at him and.... nothing happened. Schwartz just stopped cold and Trouba didn’t even budge, because he’s got probably half a foot and 40 pounds on Schwartz. The fact that the Blues still worked the puck…

That was an excruciating decision that I’m thrilled about as a Blues fan. Players often will just try and freeze the puck against the boards to kill time if the clock is winding down.

Gretzky would have looked good on the Flames tho

You’re not wrong about the MLB draft but you are regarding the NHL. The kid from UMass who just joined the Avs was the 4th overall pick in 2017 and still played two more full seasons of college hockey before making the jump. The only NHL draft picks who go straight to the pros are the absolute top tier guys. If you’re…

Barring a total disaster against Winnipeg I have to think he’ll be back. But I can understand not making anything official for now. If the reports of McLellan going to Buffalo are true then the options out there probably won’t be much more attractive than Berube.

If it sucks, it’s gonna chip away at the once-impregnable mythos that Ledger built around this character

It hits the ground AFTER bouncing off of the ump.

The ball narrowly misses the catcher’s glove and bounces off the ump and down into the dirt. It’s either his cup or his inner thigh. Neither is a good place to get hit.

This was a tragically under-appreciated game. Too bad.

He’s 26. If his visa expired in 2006 that means he probably came over when he was 12 or 13 and has been here ever since. He wasn’t a buttwipe Englishman then. He was a kid.

They can. Forgive the amateur announcer (I can’t find a better clip) but here is an example of a clear home run getting pulled back in and becoming a double. Yairo Munoz robs Ryan Zimmerman but can’t actually make the catch. He ends up whipping the ball back onto the field.

It absolutely hit one of the fans reaching for it, in addition to the glove.
