Oh boy ... another repeat from past seasons. This team LOVES a flu bug

Sorry you missed it. That was a nice way to start the day. It was far from a perfect effort, but Emery definitely has the sauce for frustrating City's flashy attackers and putting pressure on the D in the right spaces. Plus, after losing Martinez like they did, it was awfully nice to see Suzuki...

Any garden variety 4th line grunt would clock a guy for that crap. Hell, a lot of name brand players would too.

I honestly don't think Bouchard ever be more than a contender until he figures out how to not be that bloody embarrassing in his defensive zone. That said, if he stays on a 150-160 point pace this season ... they'll give it to him anyway. The idiots won't be able to help themselves. Which could...

Yeah, big deal for bars and restaurants that show sports. A whole lot of them use DirecTV and are locked into exclusive contracts to avoid public use licenses.

Well, YouTube Premium runs like $15 a month while Peacock with ads runs around $13 a month. Nice for people who are paying for both, presuming they exist. Otherwise, meh.

Yeah. That check the name thing happened a couple of times in the NFL and now it's spreading. Sooner or later somebody's going to get their ass whipped for pulling that one. Probably in the NHL, honestly.

Nice to see that Villa's ownership of Man City didn't expire when Pep left.

Yeah, the shot from behind the net is magical. However, it's been since Tony The Italian DeAngelo circa the 2020 bubble playoffs that I've seen that level of defensive ineptitude from a Hurricanes opponent.

I hate the Brewers ... Go St Pete Devil Bulls

St Louis is the very model of an average NHL team. Their strengths and weaknesses even average out across the league. Having an expensive struggling goaltender is sort of more rare, but it's not like it's all that unusual. And having it be a guy that management believes in despite years of...

Stick tap. I went to several really good shows* there, with the only real downside being the trailer park toilets. The new facility looks great though. * special shout out to Gary Clark Jr playing When My Train Pulls In, while a train ... pulled in.

Well, one version of the site plans I saw featured three buildings of roughly that size. That would look less weird than just the one. They have to generate some daytime and off season foot traffic. Office buildings and hotels do that ... so long as you can fill them.

Honestly, I think Nikishin was the only reason Carolina was ever in the conversation with Winnipeg. Once he (allegedly) made it known that he wouldn't sign there, Carolina was never going to get there.

He's 0-6 in his career, so ... not really, no. Jarvis and Svech are pretty good and the third guy is a coin flip so far as I can tell. I have a hard time getting too worked up about it so long as Brindy isn't rolling out the senior citizen parade or something.
