Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaires, a huge barrier in the path of progress

I’ll be that way with no shame. The dads are complicit, so I assign them half the blame. If anything, their bulldozer sports dad tendencies might be heightened by the medusa, so they are complicit with each other.

One can see how and/or why this happens by examining the shrill medusas screaming “shoot” and hovering bulldozer sports dads at any rink on a weekend morning.

I want to root for the Isles because of Barzal, but the Canes winning puts a huge thorn in the side of whiny old guard dinosaurs like Burke, so either way something good will happen.

All you need to know is this:

I think eventually, he will mess with the wrong guy and that might be it. What could have been.

I have to wonder if many players really care, or maybe just see him as an amusing sideshow. I have to imagine someone would have, ahem, ended his career if he really was seen as a problem. Or maybe that perfectly timed crosscheck or head down hit is just around the corner.

I’ve been to Pizza Huts in Germany (yeah yeah) where reservations are recommended on weekend evenings, and at times there was a line waiting for tables.

Penalties require intent?  KEwl

I think the league definitely supports it, maybe to the point where there’s a tacit/secret directive for nobody to really run him or go after him, as he seems to take little on-ice flack for his antics.  

IMO Stastny definitely added a little something that could be called with discretion. So make the crosscheck a simple minor and give something to him as well. End result would be the same, a loss of the game and series, maybe with less scapegoating and whining by VGK “fans” and historically incompetent NHL leadership.

Play before it was bad as well by choking up the series lead.

VGK blew a game lead as well as a 3-1 series lead.  Bud, they were done before this call.

Whatever draws the ire and stress of useless windbag dinosaur Brian Burke is cool with me.

Nobody is saying it wasn’t the wrong call. It was overdone. We all know officiating changes during the playoffs, it has only been this way for a few hundred years. But I suspect few nonpartisan voices will claim the bad call decided the game.
