Because it’s the Cup(s).

So this is why they ban tailgatoring at some sports venues.

Can’t tell if this is the best example of Florida Man, or Florida, man.

I think there’s no pure way (i.e., one without politics) to choose judges. That said, I’m fine with voters being able to recall a judge for egregious abuses of authority like this. As the article states, it’s such a rarity that it’s unlikely to become an epidemic.

Darker Souls, amirite?

Well, he is the Commandurine Chief, after all.

They would be the first team with a Russian captain to visit the first Russian president of the United States.

The guy sitting in the center of that photo looks an awful lot like Jimmy Johnson.

I am one of those people who is rooting for Vegas to lose, but that’s because they’re a division rival, not because of jealousy. I view them the same way I would any other Pacific Division team not named the Kings: I don’t want them to win.

Also true. Maybe the fault lies with LFC’s medical staff, who could have checked him out after the hit to the head, but at the same time, he didn’t appear to have any noticeable symptoms, as he got up almost right away, and was able to explain to the referee what happened.

I had Ovechkin in the Conn Smythe lead for the Caps coming into this series (if Vegas won, it would be Fleury in a near-unanimous vote), with Holtby and Kuznetsov right behind him. Holtby turned this series on its head with that desperate save at the end of Game 2, not only preserving the win, but keeping his team…

I know in the Premier League there are certain rules for when a player is suspected of having a head injury that can include him being pulled from the match. I do not know if those rules are the same for Champions League matches.

Since I won’t be beating this comment, I’ll be in my office if I’m needed...

Absolutely agree with this. Same philosophy applies in hockey. If you don’t have a good shot on goal, aim for the goalie’s pads (not his glove or his chest) and hope he bounces a rebound into the slot.

I know how this feels. I’ve been a Kings fan since 1986, and after the debacle with McSorley’s illegal stick in the 1993 Final, I’d come to expect that the team was likely cursed and would not win a Cup in my lifetime. Even when 2012 rolled around, and they rolled every team they faced by going up 3-0 in each round, I…

At least the third RM goal arguably would be missed by other goalke... nope, couldn’t finish that sentence without laughing.

Or, playing as Achilles, and not the one from ACIII.

Well, now that you mention it, there is slavery mentioned in the Potter books (the elves), and racism is a primary motiviation for the villain in the story (pure bloods v. non-pure bloods). There was also the classification of people by those racial characteristics by the government, which had been taken over by a…

Have a star for not making the obvious joke involving a headbutt and still being funny.

Isn’t Barry Bonds going to be the strength and conditioning coach?
