They showed this a bunch on sportsnet today but I’m pretty sure the Bennett example and subsquent John Shannon piece was about pucks in the air. This puck was definitely on the ice, and im pretty sure in that case the 1 inch of ice above the painted line doesnt make much difference. Anyway, go Caps!

I dunno, I think the Morrisey one is the only real miss. The Kuch hit looks clean to me and the Doughty one was very very close to clean.

Oh man, Sarich was the most hopeless against those two though. He’d be standing in no mans land off to the side of the night looking like he was practicing his spins for an ice dance routine

As a Flames fan i still have nightmares about Corey Sarich trying to defend a Sedin cycle

The downhill really should be #1. It might be a tough sell because the chance of an American being on the podium isn’t as guaranteed as a lot of these other fringe sports, bu the downhill is legit.

I feel like a proper winter jacket would have helped

6 for 25 against Rog is probably a good record compared to most of his contemporaries not named Novak or Rafa

No matter how bad you think Nickelback is Simple Plan is worse. Also, “Animals” should have won a Pulitzer for song writing

I think at this point you have pretty much laid out the considerable benefits to workers of a union often enough that it hardly needs repeating. However, all of your articles on the subject are the same in that they never mention that in practice unionization has consistently resulted in jobs being automated or…

Isn’t the problem though that if you make it a catch as soon as the guy has possession that your going to end up with a million catch and fumbles?

No league has fucked up uniforms like the NHL. Somewhere in the late 90s early 2000s the NHL tried to go modern and screwed up half the teams in the league. I feel like football is still just scratching the surface of shitty unis

Is anyone else most encouraged that he has neither a chin strap goatee or gas station sunglasses?

Seeing the season is now over, just want to say thanks for all the outstanding tennis writing this year!

Like others I really enjoyed this.

As an old hockey fighter let me explain. Fighting is a part of the game always has been, and the job is to hold people accountable. The fighter is often the most well liked guy on the team. Let me tell you about one time in Saskatoon in the 80s. There was a big game the next day against our hated rivals from Swift…

I hope he found a razor

Happy for Brandon Morrow. Always liked him as a Blue Jay. I remember watching his 1 hit 17 strikeout game and that day he had the best stuff I have ever seen (Im pretty sure it’s in the top 10 all time by gamescore)

‘P’ is criminally low here. The Pirates logo is one of the best letter logos in sports.

Its unreal what a dick swinging contest this is becoming. Ultimately the Flames owners don’t want anything less than what Edmonton got up the road because their ego won’t be able to handle getting a worse deal than Katz got (Edm deal was awful for tax payers but in a blue collar city that lives and dies sports much…

Can someone explain to me when the anthem became about the troops as opposed to representing the country as a whole?
