At Lenovo? Nah. I need to be able to move around when I watch on a screen and it’s too hot to be hanging around Moore Square. I’ll stick it out at home.

It may not be the best college tournament, but the baseball tournament (the whole thing, not just the CWS) is probably the most grueling and perilous to win. You catch a pitcher on his career day, have a weird weather day that throws everything off, have one of those days where everything is hit...

I really don't think Carolina is going to be able to choke out Vegas the way they did Philly and Montreal. And Vegas will value possession WAY more than Ottawa did, plus their D is much better under pressure. This is a whole different ball of wax for the Canes and they’ll have to be much more...

Look … this Canes team probably isn’t going to win the series with a ton of power play goals so we may as well just deal with it up front. If the kill stays strong then they won’t have to. Winning the special teams means both the PP and the PK. Score a couple, stop a lot, prosper.

No great losses there. Forsmark (4th round D) and Vondras (6th round G) never even looked like minor North American pros and Juntorp was just a make-weight piece in the Necas deal.

The Wolves blew a lead in the 3rd to lose Game 2 against the Colorado Eagles. They head to Chicago with the series tied at 1-1 https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nhl/chicago-collapses-in-the-third-colorado-scores-4-times-to-even-the-series-in-game-2/ar-AA24uAA8

I largely continue to not give a crap who ends up winning Champions League.

Yeah, Torts only had to tweak Cassidy’s systems a little bit to basically end up with Vegas playing exactly the way his last decent Philly team played … defensively. Offensively it’s a different world because Torts hasn’t had this kind of offensive skill on his team since maybe Tampa. His...

This is all very good advertising for having a full season ticket package. The guy behind me last night paid almost 3 times more than me … on the primary market.

I didn’t see it and don’t really care, but it should be noted here that a lot of arenas have watch party areas with big screens right outside or adjacent to the arena … which makes it easy for the TV pukes to get video. I understand that we’ll have something like that if and when the new...

Oh, also … not for nothing, but the sports books have Carolina as an opening line favorite to win the Cup and most if not all of the stats nerds’ models also have them as favorites. If the talking heads want to say something different, let ‘em. You still have to go win the four games.

I guess, but I think we all knew that crash was coming and the Canes were playing WAY above the rev limiter in 2009. This Montreal team ain’t that. They played great through two series and just hit the wall, but they didn’t play above their capacity at any stage. They were good all year. They’re...

And … again … I don’t give a crap what anybody says will happen. What matters is what actually happens. This is North Carolina. Look up our State motto. Esse Quam Videri

Shame. I really like what Slot did last season in his transition year but when you get that far under water with the fan base then you danged well better be convincing on the pitch. And Liverpool just weren’t. Lose the stands, fine. Lose the room? That’s not gonna work.

IMO they made it too easy to just hand off the pre-sale code to others.

OK, back to the Finals. This is going to be billed as star power versus the grind and frankly, I think that narrative is pretty lazy. As usual, I guess. The hockey media is nothing if not lazy. So, who are Vegas’ stars exactly? Stone? Yeah, he’s still dangerous but he’s slow and rickety at...

Squirrel update … caught his ass. One of those humane traps, some sunflower seeds and peanuts in the shell … boom. Released onto the golf course.

The squirrel agrees.

OK, so … that game. Who really cares? They won, nobody got hurt, everybody played pretty well and there was no drama. Everything you could have wanted in a series clinching game.
