Fighting words being narrowly defined as *only* statements that are face-to-face and would likely result in immediate violence.

Genuinely curious, but what does protocol say about how to balance cultural norms? We shake, and even non-Trumpians sometimes do so too long. We don’t bow ever, unless trying out for an extra during Mr. Fezziwig’s dance scene. So whose norms apply when/where?

I agree with everything but the lack of retaliation making the Wild look weak. These deals are quite often not settled on the day it happens (see Wings-Avs). More important for the Wild at this point is staying ahead of the Hawks and Sharks; meanwhile the Wings aren’t worth a second thought. They suck and and they are…

So where did he intend to scalpel him, because he sure as shit brought his stick up intentionally? So where was he hoping to cut him open? Neck? Chin?

Are you asking how men who have played hockey their entire lives know that fighting a goalie isn’t considered kosher? Or are you asking how you should know that?

Oh, BS, Nyquist. You fully intended to high stick him, you can see the look on your face.

What do you mean? They post a video for every or virtually every suspension explaining the play, why it’s worthy of suspension and mitigating factors.

Came to say the same. Misty Hills, perhaps. And let’s be honest, it’s probably not Wilmington. It’s probably Hockessin or some such.

No, I remember. That’s when you thought you made the point about him hopping onto a team that just won the championship.

100% agree with you. I know sometimes there are injuries (here for instance) but the flopping is simply infuriating. It really makes it hard to watch at times.

Ah yes, the All Star Team. Because when fans vote, you just know you’re getting the best from that season.

Ya... you’re seriously confused if you think the Houston Old Age Home is the same as Lebron’s Prime All Star Tour. But confusion is your right and privilege.

Yea, Dwayne Wade should definitely step into the fray about Lebron’s seeming need to have a loaded team to compete. That doesn’t reinforce Barkley’s point at all.

What? Chuck joined the Rockets in 96-97. The 95-96 Champs were the Bulls. The Rockets won in 94-95.

One being a whiny bitch doesn’t preclude the other for being the same.

Honda Ridgeline fun? Or Civic fun?

Nah, as a hockey fan, I gotta say I couldn’t care less. Frankly, I’ll be glad to stop seeing whatever piece of shit car they have at corner ice whenever I happen to watch an Isles game.

Other than the fact that you probably already spent two hours on the train going into work then back home?

We need a deeper, better bench. How can the $100 MILLION of us starters possibly be expected to carry the team?

I was blessed to have a GTX 980 (with an oldie but goodie i5 2500k) and it never gave me a hiccup. I’m not saying the game wasn’t broken. I just got to experience it from Day 1 just fine.
