Goddamn Crosby is boring as a sports villain. If you’re going to say he made it up, come back with something better. Say you asked him how your ass tastes. Say you invited over for the BBQ you’re having after game 5. Anything.

You can always tell the uptight pricks when they start complaining about Subban’s “attention seeking behavior” or some such nonsense. God forbid a likable superstar provide us with some harmless entertainment while clearly having a small joke, all while not breaking omerta about what’s actually said on the ice.

Next you’re going to tell me all those beautiful Instagram women of my dreams aren’t peacefully hiking in Antelope Canyon dressed to the 9s.

“No video on the internet has ever made me this uncomfortable.”

Really? I’m a hockey novice (followed pretty closely during my mid-90s teen years, but fell off to a “sub-casual” level), but I’ve found this year to be pretty exciting. What makes this year so bad, in your opinion? (Honest inquiry; I have no idea what I’m watching, from a technical/aficionado standpoint. I feel a bit…

Strickland is a goon.

I totally agree. He’s got a lifetime .299 OBP, so I don’t see the harm in trying it more.

I know that modern statistics tend to abhor the bunt, but the chaos Hamilton would elicit if he got good at it would be fun as hell to watch.

You’re one of the few that share that sentiment during these playoffs. I’m not saying they’re the greatest fanbase ever, but I’m not sure if there has been a crowd as energetic as the Preds fans during these playoffs. It does help some that Bridgestone sits across from dozens of honkey tonks with mass quantities of…

We had the same happen in Denver- I was the weird kid who played hockey when I was a kid in the ‘80s/early ‘90s, and by the time I finished high school the Avalanche (and that ‘96 Cup, of course) had an entire generation of kids absolutely hockey-mad out of nowhere. It’s fun when that happens- I hope it works in…

Wait, you watched clips of the Pens game and based the crowd on that? On highlights... Like when they scored... So you’re telling me the Pens fans are loud when they score? YOU DON’T SAY?

Same here. This shouldn’t have worked- and yet, here we are, two decades later they’re going to the Finals- and I feel pretty good about their chances against either of their possible opponents. That building is ridiculously loud, and the fans definitely know the game at this point- the experiment worked. Credit to…

I’ll admit to scoffing when Nashville got a franchise. I admit to rolling my eyes at Bettman’s idiotic southern strategy and his ignoring Canadian markets. And the anger I felt with the stories of the Nashville papers having to print pictorials about hockey rules! I thought they were doomed.

Great series, it really could have gone either way.

Whoever this announcer is: fuck you, idiot. Please try to be a little more professional.

I think that’s Billy.

Kyle Busch has one of the most hateable faces in sports history.

Wow, what a bunch of THUGS
