If it was a one-time incident, sure. But the video alleges this has been going on for months, and if we’re being honest, it’s probably been happenig his whole life. A physical response has repercussions, and Micah seems to be taking them in stride. When you’re faced with repeated, racial insults for months or years on…

Imagine Micah telling her something to the effect of “get out of my way you dumb cunt!” I can guarantee you she would have a completely different reaction to using “just words”.

Wow. Would like to hear your justification on that take.

It’s all rumor, but I don’t think Therrien was the only one who didn’t take a shine to PK. Especially in the uber-serious Montreal market, the fact that PK spent so much time cultivating his brand, doing things in “PK’s name” and not “the Canadiens” seemed to rub some of the “old-school” guys the wrong way.

I found Yzerman’s wizardry in relieving himself of the Filppula contract, while at the same time essentially brokering a deal between Philly and Pittsburgh another stroke of genius.

*quietly adds “ratfucking twatwaffle” to personal insult dictionary*

I don’t like this at all. The SUV asshole tries to merge where there isn’t a spot, then floods the other guy’s car after the fact? Doesn’t have the lead up, but given that it’s a two lane road, it doesn’t seem like there was ever a spot in front of the silver car to merge. Drop back and merge in front of the dash-cam…

I put it in quotes because while they are technically fired, they still remain under contract and the team is required to pay that salary. Any other team may request permission to speak with the fired coach. Generally teams are going to allow that because if the fired coach signs with a new team, the old contract is…

Despite being “fired”, Julien was under contract for next season to Boston. The only way for him to be hired elsewhere was for the Bruins to give permission to any teams interested. IF signed elsewhere, they’re off the hook for the contact.

You can tell by his body language after that he didn’t intend to spear Spurgeon in the face. Nonetheless, he speared the guy in the damn face. Intentional or not, there’s not much gray area in this one. I’m guessing he gets 5 games. Could be less since Spurgeon wasn’t seriously injured, and “results” seem to factor…

Well to be fair, if you try to write a hockey blog now, you’re told to “stick to sports”

Last I heard there were two dissenting Republican voters. That puts it at a 50-50 tie, meaning Pence would rule as tiebreaker. Betcha can’t guess which way he’d vote!

Oh man, just wait until DeVos takes over!

Hockey is an old-boys network, and Tortorella has won a Cup. His coaching style was more effective a decade ago, but he seems to have adapted enough this season to make his team effective. There’s been a lot of luck involved, but they’ve been playing statistically good hockey over the last couple months. He’s…

Someone needs to ‘shop in a Stone Cold Stunner. Vince would be proud.

Yeah, injuries suck. Lemieux, Bure, LaFontaine, Orr, Bossy, ugh, so many stars cut down in their primes.

The thing is, Gretzky struggled (that’s definitely not the right word to use, because he was still excellent) in the 90s as the league as a whole got better, especially defense and goaltending. Quanthockey.com has some great graphs.

His ability to do things at top speed is just unfair. To move as fast as he does and still keep the puck on a string is ridiculous. I watch his replays and it feels like the old movie tricks where you speed up the frame rate to make things look faster, but no, he’s just that fast in real time.

Ehhhh, if you look at the points-per-game, Mario was barely behind Wayne. If Mario had played the same number of games, he’s only 57 points shy. That’s also taking into account the fact that his PPG numbers are probabyl deflated a bit due to all the injuries he suffered. His PPG naturally dropped for his second…

Problem is, I bought a dessert I was planning to serve and have been drooling over all day thinking about. I’m fine serving their dessert, but can I choose to eat mine...
