I’ve read anywhere from 2 million to 3.5. One media outlet said it was more than Trumps Inauguration. Sorry Don.

Doug Ford getting booed and disrespected by the GM on the same day in separate incidents makes this a special championship.

I thought this was pretty classy.

I think I have to give Jeremy Lin the jersey win for the retro jersey with Chinese lettering, which never actually existed, but still, I love it. 

I haven’t seen the counts on number of attendees(maybe I just looked past it) but damn either way. I can’t imagine the madhouse if the Leafs ever win the Stanley Cup again.

Gasol was like that for the whole five hours it took to get to Nathan Phillips Square.  At one point, Eric Moreland was holding onto Gasol’s shirt to stop him from falling out of the back of the bus.

After looking at those pictures, I feel there is a high-percentage chance that Plant Guy and his buddy are Insane Clown Posse fans.

Marc Gasol looks like my dad the day I finally left the house. Eerily similar

This whole day was amazing. Right up until some dickhead fired shots.

Also, Doug Ford seemed to be heavily booed (and rightfully so), while Justin Trudeau seemed to get loud cheers.

This should be the top comment.

Matt Devlin calmed everyone the fuck down and probably saved some lives, or at least a few hundred pairs of sneakers. He’s far from my favourite play by play guy but he came up as big as possible when needed.

From the fanciest black tie dinner party to the lowest gathering of hobos and drunks around a trash can fire, there is one thing that will alway remain true: people with guns ruin fucking everything.

My only take-away from this is that Deadspin and all of the other sister sites have a set of different writers with differing opinions. Some of these writers, like Drew, are great and I believe would actually side with “Don’t be a dick while beating the shit out of an underdog opponent.” And others like whoever wrote…

Well, I’m sort of now at just the “I want to make shitty jokes” stage of this discussion but I think it’s pretty clear that while the editorial perspective here is that the celebrations were all fine and dandy and a non-story, what they consider to be a real story is the idea that people who disagree are engaging in…

“Score all the goals you can but maybe don’t celebrate like crazy when you’re up double digits” just seems like such a reasonable and common-sense take. The fact that it’s getting so much push-back is absolutely wild to me.

In Team USA’s first game they beat Thailand 13-0. Some people thought that the Americans over-celebrated some of their later goals in that win as scoring, say, the 10th goal over a much smaller and less developed program isn’t an incredible accomplishment and their celebrations came off as bad sportsmanship.

Literally, yes. 

It’s the most thin-skinned overreaction to the slightest criticism. “Hey, maybe tone down the celebrations when you’re up 10-0.”

“Actually, it’s good to be a dick when you’re beating the shit out of a clearly under-matched opponent” is the worst and weirdest take Deadspin has been flogging since they trotted out “The New Orleans Pelicans have some sort of, uh, moral duty (?) to trade Anthony Davis to the Lakers because that would be entertaining…
