10-7 on 51 shots. Every 3rd shot went in.

Now he's dating a 40 year old, 2 months in they're really serious, about to move in together. Guh that's my nightmare. I'm pretty committed to non-cohabitation and I've yet to have a negative response when I've told women this. (of course that's not gonna fly for the ones who are trying to capture ...

Dating when older is a lot faster, both parties know what they want. Got a buddy who's 38, was in a relationship with someone 7 years younger for over a year and it ended up going nowhere, just a lot of mixed signals. Now he's dating a 40 year old, 2 months in they're really serious, about to move i...

2 things I assume about Canadian curlers, including the women (tell me if I'm wrong): 1. Could drink me under the table 2. Would be MAGA as hell if situated in the United States 1. Yes 2. No. Curling has really progressed, into the 21st century, unlike a sport called hockey. There are also quite a ...

Surprises early. ManitobaLawes is 0-2 Saskatchewan is 2-0. The 22 year old rookie skip has given up a 4-ender in both her wins.

Degen, your dad must be completely assimilated into the cultural melting pot, if he’s a big curling fan. Oh ya, he's been in Canada almost 50 years. As he's getting older, he likes curling because it is slow and strategic and all the big events are on tv. Hockey, for example, it now too fast and ch...

For you curling fans!!! Tonight's draw is Alberta vs Manitoba. The girl in the glasses that Brain likes is on Manitoba. I'm taking my dad for the afternoon draw tomorrow. The building is 5 minutes away from me at Canada Olympic Park. https://twitter.com/Devin_Heroux/status/1758506882736554009 Here i...

I love how the new overtime rules cause so much debate. Very much overdue. Some questions to discuss. 1. If you win the coin toss, do you kick or receive? The consensus seems to be to kick, you want to know what you have to do. Although, I would still receive because I believe in scoreboard pressure...

Now I wish the niners got a TD and celebrated like they won.

degenerasian

True, I did not take the 2 point convert into account.

degenerasian

I would take the ball first. If you feel both defenses are gassed and touchdowns are easy, you want the ball 3rd. You look at the two games that caused the rule change. In the Super Bowl when the Patriots scored with a TD, would Atlanta have equalized? And if so, Patriots get the ball 3rd. Same with...

And timeouts.

Like this?

I am kind of surprised seeing you guys hate on "the code". The unwritten code is one of the things that makes hockey hockey. Running a star player will have consequences, don't touch the goalie, no punching while someone is down, etc etc. Hockey refereeing and rulebook is not capable of c...

mister d wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2024 12:11 am Did you just compare a hit to prevent a goal to a hit in retaliation for a goal?

They are actually similar. Why is Laine making an effort (like speeding up) to shoot at an empty net with 3 seconds left? And why does Andersson care enough to violently go after Laine's knees to prevent it?

It’s getting late so I can’t keep the Jose Bautista playoff game in my back pocket … is it bad Beltre didn’t light him up at 3B? They threw at him and punched him in the face the following season. Would that be better solution here? They stalk the guy next game? I say 2 games. The hotdogging will b...

. There's even a victory formation in the NFL, not running more plays or taunting or taking a slap shot into an empty net. And, when the Saints ran a play to score an unsportsmanlike touchdown from victory formation, the only Falcon who lost his shit was the coach, not the players. Players had chec...

Then why is there a penalty? To prevent fights.

degenerasian

Agreed. And the Leafs coach said a cross check to the face is “appropriate” response to breaking a stupid unwritten rule. Hockey has a culture problem. You can't blast the puck into an empty net, that's taunting. Imagine if Ducks-era Corey Perry did that to Sharks. Should the Sharks just accept it?...

These are hockey players, they know this. Must be more history for Grieg to shoot the puck like that. I don't watch enough of the Ontario rivals. Just imagine your most hated player doing that to your team. If Grieg wasn't expecting some kind of reaction for that, he's an idiot Both things can be tr...

What about baseball crowd chatter?

I mean... South Africa 2010 anyone? Horrible memories of that. But those horns were cheap and being sold outside the stadiums (as I recall).

Another half-pregnant NHL thing. We want to spread the game globally but no developing teams in our tournament! There's a time and place for both, right? Wasn't the greatest thing in hockey history a 6-team tournament? There really were only 6 countries back then that could roster a team and the wo...

So Calgary traded Monahan and a 1st to Montreal just so they could take him.

Today, Montreal trades Monahan to Winnipeg FOR a 1st round pick.

Fucking Treliving.

Well the Flames are garbage, they don't know what's going on most of the time. This was a massive PR blunder. There were no legal grounds to cite mental health in the initial release. It's a horrible look, and the organization is now being subject to criticism and ridicule that it deserves. I was g...
