The Swamp

When i think about how I'm kinda addicted to scrolling through twitter to keep up with what's going on in the world, I often mentally trace it back to the Katrina thread here. Johnnie, Howard, Bengal, and so many others posting real-time news and updates about what was going on. I vividly remember b...

Is Atlantic Canada still on the table?!? I know several middle-aged men and zero middle-aged women, so that's probably not helpful. Sorry you're going through stress/tension/unease of this process but I have no doubt you'll come through this for the better. I imagine there will be a lot of exciting ...

Canada gets the draw. Canada's first away goal against Mexico at Azteca in 41 years.

One of the biggest results in the history of the program. Finishing below 3rd now would mean a pretty big choke in a few winnable games (very much on the table).

Ref just gave a stage 1 warning for (yet another) Azteca homophobic chant. This game was supposed to be the second empty stadium as punishment from the last time, a punishment that somehow got cut in half. Time for actual points to be deducted, what a joke. Turn on the game to see the very Canadian...

Canada 1:1 Mexico at the half in Azteca, and it could easily be 3-1 for the Reds. Davies and Buchanan on the wings causing chaos for Mexico.

what a mess still doesn't make any sense why they couldn't race at 9 a.m. local tomorrow outside of "the rules say we can't" I do see how that could be a bit of a logistical nightmare to fully staff the race track on that short notice but who knows. I've only been following F1 closely for...

Also, some of the hot takes about how wrong the polls were could have waited until the early and mail-in votes were counted, which were heavily Liberal. While the Libs did have a 8-10 point lead in a poll before the campaign started, the two or three polls done during the campaign showed a steadily...

Find someone who loves you as much as the NDP love getting 20% of the vote and 10% of the seats.

Well. Not entirely sure if this is any sort of foreshadowing for the federal election but the CBC has just projected that the PCs have upset the Libs in the Nova Scotia election tonight The Conservatives here actually ran to the left of the Liberals on a bunch of issues. Once they kicked off the ca...

Had to mute the opening ceremonies. CBC is a great Olympic broadcaster but they never to great at the ceremonies. Just one cringe comment after another. I don't want real issues and controversies to be papered over but mentioning things in 1-line quips, while also trying to be entertaining and funny...

Surprised no one’s brought up sharing log-ins and access. Am I the only scumbag parasite here? My brother has full blown cable (always asks me about cord cutting but never takes the plunge) and I can use his credentials to get TSN/Sportsnet/Crave and pretty much any channels that have a smart TVs or...

Congrats BSF, 2021 champion!

Day 4. Lytton is literally on fire. No more records or fun and games. It's now serious. https://mobile.twitter.com/andymckay/status/1410472885752254464 I just can't get over this. I get obviously that the heat and the fire go together, but this tiny village becomes known nationally and then literal...

Update after games 1 and 2

Instead of lame wagers of local beer or whatever, Montreal and Tampa mayors should put it all on the line, winner gets custody of the Rays.

Still about 70% chance of thunderstorms around race time, could be a crazy one. I only care about him because he's Canadian, but I'm really starting to feel bad for Latifi. 3/1000th off Q2 last week, just about as close today. Set the cutoff marker at the end of Q1 today then on the end of his final...

travzilla

Here it is heading into the finals. Habs a bit of a pool buster but BSF and wlu going head to head with different Lightning.

And if BSF's buddy had actually picked a full roster he's probably comfortably out in front :)

BSF still tops, wlu-lax in striking distance

Update after last three nights (NYI 3-2, VGK 2-1, TBL 8-0)

After game 3s

Missed an update yesterday so this is tues/wed night combined

wlu-lax keeps rolling, BSF coming back with Lightning tonight.

Rosters and standings updated with new players.

Just turned on Austria-North Macedonia to see NM get level. Really like Macedonia’s jersey (Austria looks pleasing too)
Why is North Macedonia MKD on the score bug?

Here's the standings going into round 3. Bit of a blood bath this year with not many people picking Islanders or Canadiens. https://i.ibb.co/Y2047cK/image.png I have got the two player adds from everyone so far except Giff, Jerloma, and Max. (You three can still send them to me up to tonight, or tom...

Immediate flashback to watching the Grosjean F1 crash last year and the horror quickly growing that you might have just seen someone die. At least with that it was resolved relatively quickly. Seeing chest compressions for that long still on the pitch, and stretchered off with curtains around and no...

BSF comes out of the Bruins bloodbath in decent shape. still a top four separated from a good mid-table battle. https://i.ibb.co/f2pfDWF/image.png Round 2 could end tonight, which would probably mean Round 3 starting Saturday. Reminder to PM me you two player adds before those players start their th...

Yeah It kind of seems like there's going to be... a lot of people tied, no?

From Tuesday... lots of people lost Hurricanes. https://i.ibb.co/n7GKrX0/image.png Here's what I'm thinking for the halfway roster update: You pick two new players to add. You still cannot exceed 3 players per team, taking into account your original 14 plus the new two (so if you drafted 3 Lightning...

I'm in!

Degen the only one to lose players with the Jets elimination. BSF widens his lead.

travzilla

Ryan and wlu-lax closing the gap up top..

travzilla

BSF back in the lead. Looking like it will be a good back-and-forth battle with him and Degen the next few days.

travzilla

Second race in a row with a red flag on the final flying lap giving Leclerc pole. At least this time he will be able to race. LEC-HAM-VER should be a great battle. Looked like Gasly was going to do something special on that last lap, was really hoping for him to get onto the front row.

travzilla

Canada into the finals.

travzilla

Canada-US puck drop now. Finland-Germany the other semi. Interesting that all 4 semi-finalists came out of the same group.

travzilla

Degen still on top, but Jets not scoring is holding him back. BSF could pass him today with decent scores from Tampa and Boston.
