I’m not as convinced as you are that they’ll be in the playoffs, but I’m less convinced than those replying to you that they won’t be. Oilers Twitter had already written off the season after the first few games, and some fans (legit fans, not trolls) were actually calling for McDavid to be traded to give him a chance…

But, but Tristan Thompson said...

He’s playing great, he seems happy, and Danny Green has been a great addition. Everyone was saying we’d get screwed over and Kawhi would hate it here and/or not play, and we’re still realistic enough to know he’ll probably go elsewhere next year, but for now I’m enjoying the hell out of all of this. AND Demar is doing…

Last time that fan washed his hair Boogie was still with Sacramento, yeesh...

“lopsided foul calls”

As a Toronto sports fan, it’s against my very nature to cheer for any Boston team, but I am cheering for Boston right now for this very reason. This year has been cruel enough without that fucking prick Osuna winning a World Series.

Shame his name isn’t Ryan Jartman.

This is why even though I love all animals, I have always been, and will always be, a cat person. I have a soft spot for jerk animals, and cats are the jerkiest animals of all. They’re cuddly adorable hilarious minions of Satan and that’s why they’re the best.

He’ll get 10 games, max, and the NHL will continue to pretend it gives a shit about concussions & headshots & what have you until the next time Wilson does this - say, a couple of games after his return - and we'll go through the whole cycle again. Sunrise, sunset, que sera sera, Tom Wilson's a garbage can.

LOL. Looks good on Dan Duquette.

Domi should tweet some racism again to distract everyone from this (not that it matters, he received no regular season suspension).

“It’s not quite as desperate as the Clippers dumping a broadcaster over some mild criticisms of Leonard, but it’s not far off.”

Not cottage country. Hamilton is just under an hour south of Toronto with a population of almost 750,000. He was at the harbour, apparently near the yacht club, which is minutes from the downtown core. I’m thinking the misadventure is drugs or alcohol, or he hit his head on some rocks, or both.

When I was 19, a girl I was babysitting, the daughter of my mom’s close friend, confided in me that her step-grandfather was molesting her. It remains one of the scariest moments of my life. Fortunately everyone believed her, her family immediately went to the police, it went to court, etc. Unfortunately I know people…

What bothers me the most are the pins. The hand is gruesome, of course, but I can look at it. But when I see the pins, I have to look away. D:

Agree on all points.

“I think the problem is you’re not realizing that I’m not laughing at the misfortune, I’m laughing at how out of touch and absurd that was.”

I pretty much see this trade as confirmation that Tavares will end up in San Jose. Sigh.
