The Swamp

Yes, the NHL monitors it super tight yet every year multiple contenders have players who get healthy right in time for game 1 of the playoffs. C’mon. It’s smart to use it; you don’t have to pretend it’s legit. I’m legitimately wondering how much sooner Stone could have theoretically returned last y...

I’ll trust you on that although I’m not sure how you put $9.5MM back on and stay under. Martinez is $5.5M so that’s a big chunk of it. Also I think the cap is 23 players in the regular season but the solution you (and others) have proposed — counting the 20 players dressed for postseason cap purpos...

The Captain is back tonight!

(And for the record if Martinez is a healthy scratch as expected the Vegas lineup would be under the cap.)

The classic ones are great to be sure. But when the new ones are being compared unfavorable to Syracuse and UTEP…?

i know sorry sorry - i thought of you when posting it. bUt tHe pArALlAx eFfEcT!!! It's just stupid. 20 years since, the NHL still doesn't have goalline technology. Antiquated sports like soccer, rugby and cricket are way ahead. So stupid. And don’t get me started on this and the NFL for the 100th t...

It sounds like an AI generated name from Madden 2008 but he’s real.

The only sports-related thing that is as depressing as how horrible my favorite hockey team is, is how horrible my favorite football team is. ETA: From a probability standpoint, I believe that the chance of having the worst team in both leagues is 1 in 992. So I got that going for me. Which is not ...

I really hate to generalize but so much of the South is trash compared to the rest of the country. There’s nice towns and nice people to be sure but on the whole just such a weird, trashy vibe here. (I’m in Little Rock today but I’ve been here enough for previous jobs that I feel OK with my opinion.)

Understood but his first instinct was to flag it as under so even in the top 10 is a switch.

Dialed my 2024 team rankings in. Top Ten O/U picks per my spreadsheetz: 1. Tampa over 8.5 (+125) 2. Washington under 6.5 (+100) 3. Arizona under 6.5 (+100) 4. SF over 11.5 (+125) 5. Minnesota under 6.5 (-110) 6. Detroit over 10.5 (-110) 7. NY Jets over 9.5 (-115) - I hate this one either way but my...

The block font numbers is my favorite new feature.

LA is playing this third period like they want no part of the Oilers.

Lions dropped new unis today. I don’t have a link yet but kind of underwhelming though the black 3rd jersey with the blue chrome helmets and blue pants is a sweet combo.

So, was he trying to flirt? Or, just be a cringy douchebag? Googled him. Says he was born in 1967, so he just misses the cusp of being a Boomer, but there's a component of Gen X that acts pretty boomerish, so I'd say since he's a white dude with a lot of entitlement and not much common sense he was...

Since I don’t really have anything else going on and I’ll probably never get the opportunity again I decided to apply for a post office job for the Antarctic summer (October to April) at McMurdo Station, Antarctica and I passed the first round of vetting. So still many rounds to go but wish me luck ...

MAF announces he’s retiring after next season and signed a 1-year extension with the Wild. It’s good that he’ll get a proper send off in Pittsburgh and Vegas.

Also what’s the point if the “top 70” schools can’t get relegated? The “underclass” division is just constantly fighting for scraps then

Getting that win in the SO kind of twists the knife a bit. Would have been interesting to see how the Wings did in the playoffs.

And the Capitals make it 16. Crazy final night.

It’s all happening at same time so they might not have known.

Hopefully that was communicated to Philly so they don’t bother pulling the GK at 1-1.

Red Wings score with 3 seconds left to force OT.

ETA: that eliminates the Flyers as well.

Oh fuck...REALLY?

Yeah Washington getting even 1 pt eliminates Philly.

And the Flyers will have to pull their goalie in regulation if it stays 1-1.

Seems kind of insane that a shootout could determine a playoff berth. (Washington gets in even with a SO win.)

Vegas beating Edmonton, then Vancouver, then Winnipeg, then Toronto to win another Stanley Cup is a possible outcome that would set Canadian media outlets on fire.

Feel like the Tigers are going to play like 20 games that end 1-0 this season.

Say what you want about the Red Wings but their games aren’t boring. It feels like every game in which they are not shut out involves one team making a comeback of three goals, minimum. STILL. Three teams battling for one spot in Game 82. Fun stuff. ETA: I guess technically Philly isn’t eliminated ...

Real Real Salt Lake.

Just make the fucking strike zone electronic. This is not difficult stuff.

Only Gaza starving bruh. This is the distraction. Even Iran don’t care about that.

Watching the videos from the missile volley, could it have been that Iran wanted to give a response as a show but not their major weapons? Because they seemed really easy to shoot down. Almost as if they had to do a show but intentionally made it a relatively non-threatening one as to lessen the ri...

The Jets and the Avalanche are highly likely to face each other in the upcoming first round of the playoffs. Today, Winnipeg just edged Colorado 7-0. One wonders how that carries over into the playoffs. Is following that up by blowing a three-goal lead in the third period bad? Asking for a friend. ...

If only I put my money where my mouth is.

That race for the last Eastern WC spot is nuts.

Just went and saw Dune 2. Really liked it. Worth seeing in the theater.

Iran attacking Israel is not good right? Though at least Israel is picking a fight with a country that actually has a military unlike Palestine.

The champs are back in the playoffs but gonna be a tough road. Likely Dallas first then Edmonton then who knows though probably Colorado.
