Isn’t the fine what got them out of the “guarantee” money?

Really kills the momentum of the fan base. It’s like one moment the fans are going 80 miles per hour, then the next moment *wham* into an embankment.

I think that’s actually how it works in the NBA

Today I learned that Slew Footing does not require pushing the upper body of an opponent backwards, as I had thought. I was about to jump down here to demand a correction, and it turns out I am the one who was wrong! It’s almost like Barry does this for a living.

He’d be fine: there’s no way, even with his stick, that Marchand can reach Chara’s jaw.

I think you undersell the playoff disappointments. This is a team that has managed to look great against absolutely historic teams and somehow always end up at the wrong end of a 6 or 7 game series. Yzerman Red Wings (3 years in a row!), The Hitchcock/Belfour/Hull Stars, The Bourque Avalanche, more recently the…

Given the rich history of each of these teams, you have to assume that someone is going to epically choke. Sharks in 7 now seems destined.

I can’t speak to how bad the injury is, but his inability to skate the puck out or apparently make a 20 foot (6.5 meter?) pass on the first Blues goal suggests he is not in a good place.

I believe the Official Old Guy Without a Cup of the St. Louis Blues is Jaegermeister, er, sorry, Jay Bouwmeester

I’ve gotten yelled at about his in beer league.  This is 100% something skaters are aware of

Unfortunately, no:

I’m emotionally with you, but the line chance analogy is not fair. The league hasn’t just decided to let it slide when guys change on the fly. The rule specifically allows for players to be “at the bench” if they are within 5 feet so long as they are “out of the play”:

“St. Louis” is a weirdly defined place. The City of St. Louis is fairly small and separate from St. Louis County. Oakville is in St. Louis County

Generally agree that Tesla should stop trying to do everything, but running an insurance company (if you do it right) does provide a big pool of cheap capital. Given their cash situation that has to be very appealing.

Wasn’t is always?  The only change now is that you don’t have to go back to Wicker Park to get Big Star.

Amazingly, this would likely skew the numbers even worse for Wrigleyville, (as compared to other stadium districts) since there are actually people there besides on game days.

“The Premier League Will Be Won Not Lost”
Perhaps it will be tied?

Crane be like:

It’s almost like the salary cap is a thing and having cap space to take on
an ill advised contract is an asset worth something in a trade.

Yeah, Fleury would love that one back, but that’s tricky with how much Hertl changes the angle in the last half second. Mainly Shea Theodore has to put a little more effort into getting his stick in that shooting lane. He’s the one actual defenceman out there on the powerplay!
