This is about a James Harden step-back away from being human trafficking. I’m actually struggling to find the difference the more I think about it. 

It looks clean from center ice. From the bench angle, if Wilson hit Aston-Reese’s shoulder, it was barely a scratch. He drove into the head pretty straight line.

Playoff hockey overtime is a fantastic spectacle when you have no horse in the race.*

A few years ago he did an interview for a podcast (Rocket Talk from Tor.com IIRC) and he made the hosts ask him 30 minutes worth of questions about…

Sweet troll or psychotic? Hard to call.
