With a goal and a fight last night, Malkin was only a rigging of a US presidential election away from the Vladimir Putin Hat Trick.

Come on, when’s the last time Donald Trump paid any attention to what Tiffany had to say?

Then he called back and asked to speak with Hugh Janus.

You forgot the part where he went out of his way to ensure to the Israeli media in front of the Israeli prime minister that he never said the word “Israel” when leaking ultra-secret Israeli intelligence to the Russians in the Oval Office, something nobody had even accused him of doing but which the denial of confirmed…

The problem is that, unlike the NFL, MLB, or even NBA (due to the relateively high probability of a basket on any given possession and the way that leads to a “formal” possession change), most runs of play in the NHL are continuous, and the things that happen between face offs could be reasonably thought to have…

I thought this as well at first, but then we would move the arbitrary nature of “was the skate touching the ice behind the blue line?” to “at what specific tenth of a second did the entire puck cross into the offensive zone to begin the countdown of how long the offsides is reviewable?” and “was the goal scored within…

I agree. In addition, I’d like to see the blue line become a plane, similar to the goal line in the NFL. That goal was essentially disallowed because his toe was an inch or two above the line, which is bonkers to me, especially considering how precise the cameras are now.

Agreed. The offsides review is quite possibly the most shooting themselves in the foot thing the NHL has done since the blasted trapezoid. Ridiculous to call off that goal.

Pens fan here and whole heartedly agree. I’m not sure of the proper solution, maybe possession as you mentioned, but something needs to change.

Yes, it is ridiculous to disallow goals over offsides that aren’t really germane to the play. There should be something like a 5-second time limit along with your proposal for a possession clause.

Japanese guy wins a race and this guy clutches his Pearl Harbors.

You’re confused? Allow me to demonstrate.

That’s nuts they could be such ball-busters.

And announce that he’s going to have a portrait of Mohammed commissioned for hanging in the National Gallery.

I hope he makes the “most persecuted” claim in Israel. Because I’m sure the Israelites will have nothing come to mind immediately to compare that statement to.

My favorite was, “You preach acceptance and tolerance, FUCK YOU!”

First – I saw you greyed out saying the exact same thing downthread. Were you so eager to shove your usual racist apologist commentary out into the thread that you were going to repeat yourself ad infinitum ad nauseam till one of your racist apologist moron buddies-in-arms validated your pitiful POV?

Saudi Arabia is not just ANY Muslim country in the eyes of the US government. We have weapons deals in the tens of billions of dollars and what could be considered an alliance. IMO, it’d be quite different had this speaking engagment been in another Muslim country like Iran, for example.

I agree. Also, there is NO imaginable scenario in 2018 that Trump can be removed from office without Republican support. Conviction requires 2/3rds of the Senate, and I can’t think of a scenario where the Democrats end 2018 with 66 seats. It just doesn’t make sense for anyone to be talking about this as if it is…
