As this table illustrates, the NHL was one crazy place in the 80s and early 90s. Remarkable that some all-time great offenses played then, too: Islanders, Oilers, and Penguins. You’d think all these penalties would have gummed up the works.

The “Warriors would have won with KD” angle will be never-ending.

I appreciate the vote of confidence. To demonstrate my wit, I present the following observation:

I would have been so upset about the OT loss if it had happened in 2000 or something, but the 12 championships since then have really taken the edge off, you know?

OK, two current players, two owners, the teevee man, and seven dudes no longer affiliated with the club!

I’m pretty sure we tried that in 2016. A legitimate challenger to HRC was at first entirely ignored by both the DNC and established journalism, and was then completely sandbagged by them. The party has moved substantially leftwards in the past three years, to a significant extent, and in so doing has motivated and…

Any additional details on that Getty photo? It’s marvelous. My college had an old-school gym like that, with an wooden running track elevated about ten feet up from the floor. Of course, the hardest part about running on it was figuring out how to secure the onion on your belt...

Especially when subjected to such a glansing blow as Dietrich’s posturing.

Counterpoint: there is no greater example of “cherry-picking” than disliking a roster on account of two current players, two owners, and six dudes no longer affiliated with the club! Ference left the Bruins in 2013, Thornton in 2014, Campbell and Lucic in 2015, ffs. And I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone have a…

High school at Choate Rosemary Hall! A man of the people, that Addison Choi.

That hit warrants a disciplinary hearing, though. Not sure if it rises to a suspension, so I’m curious to see what the NHL has to say. From my perspective, it really looks like Sundqvist brings both skates off the ice at the 0:52 mark in the video above. Maybe that’s not the worst thing in the world, but it seems…

I’m told Carlson used to publish under a pseudonym, Jackie Harvey.

Yeah, that David Krejci, what an asshole. And don’t get me started on, um, Brandon Carlo. Bums, the lot of ‘em.

Verily, we have entered a golden age.

Hockey has the best game sounds in sports. Skate blades, slap shots, goal posts, stick slapping the ice calling for the puck, cavernous boom of leg pad saves, the whole game is awesome to listen to.

As a Bruins fan, GOD FUCKING DAMMIT. I’m so incensed about this. 

Pelinka probably just arranged a meeting with Ledger’s former agent or personal assistant or something. Then, years later, after forgetting the timeline of Ledger’s death and the movie’s release, he decided to tell the story in front of the team and embellished it in the way a, let’s say, a storyteller would.
