Why yes, yes it was.  I'm curious where you're going with this...

Which Deadspin staffer would fair the best if they were a character on Game of Thrones?

What about a guy like Magary, who’s also older and lives in the commuter-ville DC area?

SAME in Denver.  The mountains are to the west, and it’s the biggest fucking mountain range in North America...  No matter where you’re standing, you can see the mountains, so there is zero excuse for not knowing which direction you’re facing.

Lauren is a Red Wings fan, so... there’s that.

Go play roller hockey then. Zone entries are the key to the entire flow of a hockey game, and if you take them away, you fundamentally alter the way the game is played.

The “loser point” structure definitely does create sort of a false illusion of parity by artificially inflating point totals. What’s annoying about that is the NHL is the league with the most genuine parity as it is. They don’t need that false illusion.

I’ve always liked Joe, he deserves a Cup.

If you take out that miserable stretch in January and February for Colorado, they were one of the better teams in the league for most of the season. Their atrocious IT record didn’t help either. But I agree, you had legit team’s in the bottom seeds this year.

I get that it’s the letter of the law, but that doesn't make it less stupid. Yes, credit San Jose for challenging because it's what the rules allow, but it's beyond assinine that those types of meaningless offside plays are one of only TWO things you can challenge for in an NHL game.

This is partially just bitter Avs fan complaining, but I’ve also had this take long before tonight:

Came here to say this.  The growth in population in the Mountain West is directly correlated to a leftward shift in the politics of those states.  People aren’t moving to the West to be ranchers and miners, they are moving into cities like Denver, Las Vegas, and Phoenix...  Which are more traditionally liberal as…

I’m sure you did not just compare the British Royal Family to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

“Rock” has become an interesting genre title, because so many of the groups that carry the label clearly do not rock and don’t even try to rock. Somehow Indie Pop got lumped into a sub category of rock. A quick Google search of the most popular rock bands brings up shit like Portugal the Man, Foster the People,…

Oh shit, I completely forgot he was a Leaf. But you’re right, as good as Belfour was, he's not in that truly legendary category with the Yzerman-Jagr-Sundin types.

Hey, man, I’m an Avs fan...  You won’t hear me crying any tears over Belfour-trashing.  I just remember him as THE MOST frustrating goalie to play against with Chicago and Dallas.

Genuinely curious... which one doesn’t fit?

Splitting hairs, I know...  But the Wings only won ONE Stanley Cup.  They just won it 4 times.  Honor the Cup, man.

Let me put it this way.
