Every cloud has a silver lining

In today’s WWE, with few exceptions (i.e. Lesnar on Orton) if you see blood, it came the hard way.

He is still highly thought of, but for whatever reason, Hitch didn’t give him a lot of consistent ice time. Instead, we got Greg Pateryn. I hope the new scheme allows him to do what he’s good at: skating the puck up the ice and creating. He’s not even 23 so mistakes will happen, but he’s a Klingberg starter kit.

Even Dallas (again, homer) has a nice, very young d-core: Klingberg (best contract in the NHL), Lindell, Miro and Johns. Healthy Methot is a nice bonus, too. But Roman Polak is there.

So I don’t listen to any of their crap, so I’m curious about the women who are on the show. Do they have frequent turnover? Are they in on the shitty behavior? I realize that it’s difficult for women to break into the sports media world (in part due to the shitheels like Barstool), but there’s a clear message that…

Stars homer here: I fully believe the Stars had the best offer on the table for almost the whole summer. Ottawa was too prideful to accept anything that didn’t include Heiskanen in the deal, even at the expense of accepting a lesser deal with another team, which they did. But the longer the Sens drew this out, the…

Dallas could have traded Honka, Faksa, a 1st and a conditional 2nd and it would’ve been a better haul for Ottawa. I know not having an extension in place matters, but shoot your shot!

And playing the dogshit Rangers 17 times a year.

yes it is

Ted Kennedy mocking death from beyond the grave

Or he had a sudden moment of clairvoyance and saw how the rest of the game would unfold. 

what the fuck is that field?

This is some Jackie Moon Flint Michigan MegaBowl shitshow. I mean, get Chris Neil in there. He was also a shitty player but the fans liked him! Also, why the fuck is the owner wearing a goddamn jersey?!? I half expected Tim & Eric to pop out and dump spaghetti on both sad participants.

He and The Atlanta Braves announcers: Cut from the same cloth

I’m all on board with option B. Enough in the top 6 to put up some goals but teams will adjust this season.

“sub-mediocrity” is extremely nice of you

I think anyone is right to be skeptical. However, they lost Neal and Perron and replaced them with Stastny and Pacioretty who are objectively better players and top-6 forwards. Their top line’s oldest player is 27 and all three are entering their primes. I think they’ll take a small step back but I can’t see them…

BAH GAWD THAT’S THE BOSTON BRUIN’S MUSIC

It drives me insane how well-stocked Vegas is for the next decade, from a skater perspective.

Maybe I’m a college football homer but I love the clock-stop for the chains after a first down. In the scheme of a football game, we’re talking 5-7 minutes of stoppage throughout 4 quarters. I can’t stand watching games end because the ball isn’t set.
