Loving hockey is a real "separate the art from the artist" situation...

Would've been Mtl as well, if Guerin wasn't so weird 😎

Every 4 years I forget that most of the events Canada wins in take place in the final 5 days of competition. 😎

This is top notch GIFing Mr. Yerdon. Truly elite use of Emo there! 😎

1B is curling. A very similar dynamic unfolds there as well :)

Perfectly timed, too!

McDavid to Celebrini is the new Gretzky to Lemieux!

"Yo, Ding Dong, man! Ding Dong! Ding Dong, yo."

(Probably his only song that didn't age well)

I've always been fond of the opening lines in Leonard Cohen's "I Can't Forget":

I stumbled out of bed,
I got ready for the struggle.
I smoked a cigarette,
And I tightened up my gut.
I said this can't be me,
Must be my double.

(The last two lines there resonate more with each passing year :)

Everything is always 2 weeks away. A trick he definitely learned in real estate.

I mean, how often does the presumptive nominee actually win the nomination? Like twice since 1988? Gore (2000) and Hillary (2016)?

This feels like arguing about playoff relief pitching during Spring Training.

2015 Draft might be a good point of comparison:

#1 - McDavid
#4 - Marner

If I was a betting man, I'd wager Celebrini will end up in the same category as the former (generational), while Demidov will be in the latter (Hall of Fame).

That's fine by me 😎

A high school teacher can smell chatGPT from a mile away. 😏

Nice. Every time they send me an email, I dread opening it as there's always something I desperately want that I have trouble justifying...how many watches does one man need? One more apparently 😎

(That MK1 fieldwatch they just released...)

Timex makes some really sharp affordable automatics. 😎

I vaguely remember astroturfy anti-bridge ads airing on, like, CTV 10-15 years ago...

China will cancel NHL hockey in Canada?? Like...how? And why?

Surely he doesn't think this scares us...

Pretty good odds it'll just be a painted version of this. 😏

Sean Penn for sure.

I think it would be pretty foolish not to trade all the pending UFAs. Spread out those mid round picks across the next few years.

There's likely not going to be another opportunity for the team to recoup picks any time soon (I'm operating under the belief this is a one-off cursed season :)

Pearson's has always been my favourite.

Engstrom and a 2nd for a rental they could've had fir free last summer? C'mon man...do better AI slop machine, do better 😎

(Also, Mantha is big, but he doesn't hit. Like at all.)

I suspect Demidov also has similar looking charts?

Thoughts??

What a joy to watch these two teams play an important game so late in the season!

Need Florida to lose. Make the gap between 8th and 9th 8 points. 😎

That guy is living proof that social media turning one's brain to pudding is not a uniquely right-wing phenomenon.

If they retained $2m/yr? Kadri for 3 yrs at $5m could be palatable (especially in those last 2 years when he'll likely be a 3C.)

If they decide to sell, McMann would be a pretty attractive piece for many teams.

Being a fan of team that's tanking just sucks. Hoping for a loss messes with you a bit.

When Mtl was a lottery team, I'd hope for some points for Suzuki and Caufield and then pray for Allen to have a stinker. 6-4 losses were the dream.

Ugh.
