Hook this shit and the Boston bros brawl up to my veins, I already feel younger.

Bruins fans, the head coach, effing Cam Neely, all sputtering with rage that lax officiating is working against them, that the refs should call every infraction, that the ‘Let Them Play’ ethos boils down to ‘Let Them Cheat’, is some delicious irony.

Or if Ratburn was trying to get with an underage girl. 

While the AAP didn’t provide clear reasons why letting infants sleep in car seats outside of moving vehicles may pose a risk...

This article’s summary of this research is so bad that it borders on willful falsehood. Here’s the actual result from the study:

But further interrogation would require willingly researching and discussing the 2016 White Sox, and I don’t want to inflict that on you, or on myself.

Getting banned from Facebook doesn’t strike me as much of a punishment.

Sometimes people who are good at their job just fuck up. Sometimes they’ve got to fall on their sword to appease the guy who just wrote your league a check for half a BILLION dollars less than 2 years ago.

I wrote a comment about this on an earlier thread, and I really haven’t shifted my thinking. Vegas was up 3-1 in this series, and while major penalties (especially poorly applied ones) are devastating to a team’s mindset & special teams performance, getting ransacked for four goals in ten minutes is inexcusable.…

The San Jose Sharks are in the second round of the playoffs, and it’s mostly because of a third-period Cody Eakin major penalty.

Vegas reached out to their fans and apologized for their PK. They also said it would not be playing in the next round.

I think it’s mostly because they allowed 4 goals in a 5 minute major.... This team should be embarrassed to be blaming this on a bad call. A bad call can certainly tip the balance in a tight game but this was not that.

So this is a legit question — it would be more “aesthetically pleasing” to you if they hedged/closed out more lazily and gave up more open shots defensively and/or jacked up more contested shots early in the shot clock offensively?

wait your thesis is that b/c there were no upsets...so they had to play *better opponents...and this made them more likely to win a title? Because they were playing “more familiar” opponents? As in, Auburn and Texas Tech, who I’m fairly certain the program had never played in it’s history before tonight? How does that…

This wasn’t a low-scoring game at all, even considering where it was at the end of regulation. Just a few years ago UConn beat Butler 53-41 in the title game.

...there were no buzzer beaters...

It’s snarky, ignorant nonsense like this that gives bloggers a bad name. I’m a Maryland alum, FFS, and even I find this offensive. The “helpful” call was a correct foul call. As for the missed call on the double-dribble, to quote Auburn coach Bruce Pearl: “Get over it.” Grow up, man. This is embarrassing stuff. 

This take is so tired and lazy.

As a Wings fan now living in the NYC area, I have no dog in this fight other than really enjoying watching Babcock turn purple after the 5th goal. Always sweet to watch the Leafs get embarrassed.


(And yes, the Wings suck this year.)

Yes to lose in Toronto, like everyone else has since 1967.
