Counterpoint: The Penguins are the most favored team by the NHL. So who cares if it IS a goal? It’s about time the Caps get a “playoff bounce.”

Even after seeing that still frame angle, NBC showed another, higher angle that the announcers admitted looked like a no-goal. Plus, it was the Penguins so the only logical ruling had to be: no goal!

Keep in mind that the line is painted under a few inches of ice. This can cause, when viewing from an angle as we are in this shot, the parallax effect that “positions” the puck in such a way that it even creates the illusion of white space between the puck and the line, when in actuality what we’re seeing is the…

It’s a self loathing hate.

If all Ovechkin ever did, for his whole career, was stand in the circle on the power play and fire one-timers, he would still be amazing. I know it is an incredibly specific skill that a lot of guys can do. It’s a basic play that every team runs. But he does it better than anybody else I can think of, ever.

This is gonna be effing brutal. We all know how it’s going to end, and it’s gonna suck. Goddammit.

I thought I had seen every pro Kaep argument there was but the “progressive football team” argument is a new one. I love what Kaep has stood for and done. At the same time I am a realist and understand that it makes total sense to avoid him. He’s simply not that great

Meh. I feel like it is overblown. Even the year they got to the Super Bowl, the 49ers were 25th (or somewhere in that neighborhood) in the league in passing yards. That was in his best year. So what you have is a mediocre QB. You can sign another mediocre QB, The McCowns, Hoyers etc with no media attention at all, or…

Stat considerations and wins? We are not talking about Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady here.

Mr. No Fun over here.

I don’t know anybody that likes Conor, white or otherwise...

here’s me, feeling bad that a team with a shitty fanbase probably won’t have a chance this to win their eighteenth NBA title this year

He never had to listen to boos from the home crowd when he was with the Marlins! Or cheers for that matter. Because not many people go to games. This is a joke about their poor attendance numbers, you see.

Hey, fuck off, thanks.

But, at this point, I don’t think their D has enough depth for them to make a serious Cup run.

In Philadelphia, Gabe Kapler is thinking to himself, “Huh. If it was up to me, I would’ve pinch run for Pillar after he stole third.”

The more you report on this, Joanna, the more it deepens my suspicions that this is just another aspect of something Ta-Nehisi Coates used to talk about when he did investigative journalism on police.
