Re: 2024 NCAA Ice Hockey Championship (Frozen Four and what not)
This BC team is stacked. First two goals tonight by Sharks’ first pound pick, Will Smith. Next goal by Flyers’ first round pick, Cutter Gautier (since traded, as you know). Next goal by Rangers’ first round pick, Gabe Perrault.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Burns an Karlsson both essentially played rover. Elite offensively but always an adventure on defense. Vlasic never really filled that mold. He used to be an excellent defender, but he got old overnight, a couple years ago.

Denver is ranked #3 in the country. BU is ranked#2. So, not a big upset. Go, Pioneers!

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
The problem in Phoenix was always the location of the arena, until they moved. Phoenix has traffic and it was a tough location. Now they play in that tiny facility, but at least they sell it out.

Re: MLB 2024
It is kind of shocking/amusing when you read about pitchers throwing extra-inning complete games in the olden days. A pitcher named Jim Brosnan were diary books of his 1962/63(?) seasons (I own both books - they are like Jim Bouton’s Ball Four , without the salacious parts). Brosnan talks about how ...

Great running back. I knew a guy who grew up in the same San Francisco neighborhood as OJ and Al Cowlings (he was a couple years younger than them). He said that in addition to being a star high school and Juco running back, he and his friends were also well known in the neighborhood as being tough ...

Re: Random Politics
Graham’s pushing for a national abortion ban. Trump is positioning himself as in favor of the states doing it (which is just pre-election politics). Trump doesn’t like his butt-kissers not 100% endorsing whatever he says.

TurboTax has a free version. My daughter filed her taxes just now. And it was free. I was a bit surprised because she did earn reasonably good money (but was between jobs for awhile, so maybe that’s why it was free.)
