That’s a whole lot of words to say that you’re in favor of kids being murdered in school.

I’m with Kerr. This is fucked. Absolutely fucked. We need sensible gun laws in the worst way.

The whole premise of this article seems...off. Are we supposed to feel bad for the Knierims? Proud of them for skating in a circle well after watching the news? I expected them to be from Parkland, or something. I’m sure a lot of NBA and NHL players had a similar experience this evening.

They negotiated, though, and the IOC wouldn’t budge.

where the good of the game vs. being short-sighted clash.

I’m always happy to shit on Gary Bettman, but I can’t imagine another pro league ever being willing to shut down for three weeks for the Olympics. (Can you imagine David Stern ever agreeing to that?) And if there hadn’t been a national crisis in Canada because we hadn’t won a hockey gold since 1952, I doubt the NHL…

Nice Spengler Cup reference. But this isn’t about Bettman. It’s about the fact that the IOC wasn’t willing to give the NHL literally anything for the NHL shutting down for 3 weeks (even if the IIHF stepped in at the last minute) and the fact that sending players to the Olympics has netted the NHL almost nothing.

I’m not here to defend Bettman, but let’s not pretend like the Olympics are some paragon of virtue that are automatically entitled profit from free labour from elite athletes...

Hot take: Geno at his peak powers is the best player in hockey. He has the special, rarely reached Beast Mode level of play that is just jaw dropping when it happens (usually after someone pisses him off). Geno at full Super Saiyan is terrifying:

On the Evgeni Malkin Spinning Backhand Difficulty Scale, that was around Hurt Me Plenty. This would be Malkin on Nightmare! level.

Easy Malkin goal?  There aren’t many people in the world who can finish that play so quickly and smoothly as a lefty shot.  Sweet pass, but the finish is impeccable too.

I didn’t read the article: the poster

I’m actually stunned that the amount is that small. I mean, 13 million gallons sounds like a huge amount of water on the face of things - if you’re trying to visualize it, that’s 20 Olympic swimming pools. But that’s not how we normally encounter water, and once you have it flowing in pipes for 24 hours a day you can…

“Both sides of the sporting isle”

Actually, I will NOT withhold my commentary on the appearance of that project. Why did he tape the blue paper in the middle? Why is everything crooked? Why we can’t cut the squares as, I dunno, squares - not trapezoids and what not...

Haaaaaaa - I like how he made the distinction between southeast and northern Asians AKA “them ones over there, not us over here”

Nice use of turgid. Starred

I think the erection they get holding a fully automatic assault rifle is around 30% more turgid than the one associated with its semi-automatic counterpart.

Brilliant, #fuckface

What a weird take.
