Methot is just showing Crosby how well his finger has grown back after Sid cut it off in March.

I, for one, have never been happier to rent!

Sens fan here!

Basically, it boils down to: if player touches goalie in the crease enough to move him, no goal. if goalie touches player, goal.

I watched on the Ceeb too, but the twitter and blog chatter sounds like it was... uh... less objective on NBC.

I doubt you watched much hockey pre-2008, but that’s what they playoffs have been like for decades. Bad calls, missed calls, non-calls... they go both ways. No one’s ever lost a series due to poor reffing. Blaming the zebras is the last refuge of a newbie.

From the textbook:

Despite looking like stupid fish snakes, eels are goddamn delicious and a central proof of my longstanding, quarter-baked theory that the more ugly a fish is, the tastier it is. (see also: catfish, cuttlefish, tuna)

Sure, it’s called “playoff hockey” and the rules go out the window. How about all those cross checks the Pens gave to Karlsson that never got called?

I say this as a Sens fan, but it would probably be outranked by Anaheim v Ottawa in 2007. Hopefully we avoid that again this year.

BELLINGHAM, BABY!!!

Sure, it just might be in 2018.

You.... might be waiting a while.

Honestly, I have no idea how a good 3/4s of professional coaches in North America, regardless of the sport, are tolerated as much as they are. I mean, I’m loving Boucher right now (especially given the turnstile that Ottawa’s been for coaches for the last decade), but to a man they all seem to be seriously fucked up…

Everyone can agree that Ottawa is a pretty little city (having grown up there, it definitely has a soft spot in my heart). It’s not so much that Ottawans think that they’re on the level of Montreal and Toronto, it’s just that they feel that, proportionally speaking, the media attention that the Habs and Leafs have…

We’ll see whether that’s the case in Ottawa. I suspect that having Erik Karlsson as the prime instrument of #TheSystem gives it more shelf life than it did in Tampa, who lacked someone with his ability on the blue line (and the willingness to buy into it, even at a cost to his stats). It’s a different story when…

All valid points, but now the Raptors get the fucking awesome nickname of “the raps”, which makes a lot of brand-synergy sense (kill me) with Drake and all that and just sounds cool as shit on its own.

Got that rainbow chard flow

Ugh, just brutal. My parents were just in Maui and had the pleasure of sitting next to Boomer and Kathy (plus a bunch of other revellers) at a restaurant. Of course, neither of my parents knew who Boomer was until after the Bermans left the restaurant and asked the staff, but said that he is... very Boomer-ish in…

You don’t touch the flow, bro.
