I want someone who has driven both the GLA 45 AMG and the A-class 45 AMG hatchback to compare them. How much do you lose by the SUV-ification of the GLA?
I don’t think reduced longevity is much of a negative for MB in a case like this, for two reasons.
These are the states that are in the eastern half of the country, but sort of situated midway between the east/west dividing line (the Mississippi) and the east coast states. I think we should start calling them the Middle East. That name’s not taken, right?
This has to be the first time in history that someone has described Salt Lake City as existing in the Southwest. What the hell, man?
Don Cherry said exactly this on the CBC broadcast. I mean, he took three minutes and several hundred words to string the thought together, but that’s the summary.
Wow. On what planet is a team that employs Brad Marchand “extremely likeable”????
A car in the garage stays clean, but that is not what cars are built for
You’re right that if either a Blues defender or Meier touches the puck before another Shark, the hand pass is waved off. Bouwmeester and Schenn are both right there, but neither of them gets their stick anywhere close to the puck (Bouwmeester’s blade is in Meier’s armpit and Schenn’s is pointing in the wrong…
I think this year has shown that the teams at the bottom of the playoff seedings were better than they usually are. Give the Avs some credit. MacKinnon is good enough to steal a series by himself and adding Cale Makar for the playoffs gave them a puck-possessing monster of a d-pairing with Sam Girard. Like the BJs and…
Ron MacLean would spend a lot more time getting roasted for his old-man takes if he didn’t have to (get to???) spend time next to the winner of Canada’s Most Incomprehensible Grandpa every week.
Here is a hot take: it seems like in every sport, the refs “swallow the whistles and let ‘em play” in the playoffs. This is bullshit! All sports commissioners should stop allowing this to happen. If the rules are bad and the on-field product is better if they are not enforced, they should change the fucking rules so…
Whether it’s icing or not is based on who is closest to the puck when the skaters reach the hash marks on the faceoff circles. To me, it looked like Vlasic won that race, especially because the puck was moving toward him and the back of the net at that point. I think he has a right to feel aggrieved.
Also worth mentioning: Tampa had six total powerplays across four games. Six! It’s not that unusual to have six powerplays in a single game and they had six in the entire series. They had zero PPs in game three and one in game four. The refs usually swallow their whistles in the postseason, but CBJ deserves some…
I think there was some additional context that set Kadri off. His hit on DeBrusk immediately followed a hit that DeBrusk put on Patrick Marleau that ended with Marleau’s head making contact with the glass at the end of the bench, which is a really dangerous kind of collision. DeBrusk wasn’t as vicious with that as he…
They won’t sell the A-class hatch in America, but they sell the current-gen GLA in AMG guise. The GLA is mostly just an A-class hatch that’s 2 inches taller and 4 inches longer. What’s the functional difference between the two? Hell if I know, but the GLA45 AMG is close enough to the A45 AMG that I don’t think it’s…
Compact crossovers are just slightly-taller hatchbacks. Hot hatchbacks are very good, but making them slightly-taller is less good. I appreciate that these things exist (Porsche would have never made an actual hot hatch!), but I wish they had make-it-slightly-less tall options from the factory.
I might own a manual F-Type right now if I could have found even a single one to test drive within a five hour drive of my house. Since they started selling the four cylinder version, it’s been hard to find a V6 F-Type of any description. The 8-speed they sell in it is not particularly good (it’s not bad by any means,…
There’s actually already an ECHL team in Boise called the Steelheads. It’s a good name!
The Packers were somehow ass enough to get their coach fired this week, but were still not the most ass team in the league. That seems like a perfect encapsulation of this season, really.
