Wrexham with another HUGE 3 points!

Solid first half, hung on for dear life in the second but come away with a 2-1 win.

Still in the race for the playoffs :)

Some of us are independents that often vote Democrat…

We just don’t want to ever have to be in a position where we are supposed to defend someone as awful as trump.

There’s nothing to say the Democrats won’t fall for an unqualified celebrity in the future as well.

Did over 3 miles while shoveling snow in shifts today…

Glad I wore my watch to count the steps.

The movie’s sound is kind of like being at a minor league hockey game arena.

It wasn’t for the gold, but the squad was created knowing they would almost certainly have to face Russia to win a medal.

We did it again with a squad created in order to face Canada. It was gutsy leaving off some top players, but early on in the tournament I could see it working. Amazing win!!

Connor Hellebuyck was the man of every match… that was the best USA goaltending series performance I have ever seen.

And today may have been the single best game - right up there with Craig against Russia and Richter in 1996 World Cup final.

I’m old enough to say “I saw USA win two gold medals in men’s hockey!!!”

I just hope I can live long enough to say I saw #nyr win two Stanley Cups!

It was wild hearing it with the sound first time. Skate blades stopping or swooping past sounded so awesome.

Could hear shots hitting the gloves…

Very cool stuff

After the Ipswich goaltender hit Callum, he mentioned how plays that aren’t called as fouls like that have a tendency to spur teams to get revenge.

Wrexham would go on to score 3 goals after that point.

Spot on announcing!

I watched the replay of the Wrexham game and have to give props to the announcer.

At the 48th minute he said “I think there are more goals to come” when it was 3-2.

But his best prediction was to come…

History will remember the businesses who supported and paid their tributes to trump - those who fulfilled his desire to be a king…

But history will also remember the businesses who took a stand.

Be on the right side of history!

It really is one of the best sports movies of all time, imo.

I actually watched it the first time tonight with my full tv Sonos audio system for the first time. It sounded like I was at the rink!

Think of how fast maga would turn on trump if they could only see that consumers pay more because of tariffs and it isn’t bringing manufacturing back.

It’s lose lose…

Businesses in America need to start calling trump out for the tariffs.

They all know they are wrong.

They all know it is hurting their businesses.

And they all know it’s hurting Americans who have to pay more because of them.

The Wild is 24th in penalty kill percentage and even worse with face off winning percentage.

Meanwhile… #nyr just happens to have a center good on draws and excellent on the pk.

Drury needs to get a good return on Trocheck…

I wish I could understand why 55 degrees outside feels wonderful (because it's been so cold this winter) but 55 degrees in my sunroom feels like dawning of the ice age...

There are always very good Finnish players in the nhl, but I swear Finland hockey players as a whole always seem to play better in international competition than they do in the league.

He probably would.

I mean, it sounds like he’s willing to make his own marriage illegal.

The sad thing is that nearly every Republican in office knew tariffs were a bad idea. They were all just afraid to tell trump not to do it.

The Supreme Court screwed the entire world by waiting this long and likely cost the election for Republicans as well.

USA will never be looked upon the same.

Even with trump admitting he raised taxes on some countries simply out of personal grievances…

It is insane that alone wouldn’t lead to a 9-0 decision.

They are so corrupt…

It’s is crazy that it took so long for this decision.

And scary that 3 justices apparently believe America should have a dictator in charge. I doubt there is anything they think he shouldn’t have the power to do.

That would be the perfect question…

We really gotta hand it to trump. He may not be smart, but he realized there is a major loophole when it comes to committing crimes…

If you commit them in public view, people apparently don’t know how to respond.

And you somehow get away with them… every time.

Snow and ice finally melted enough that I could walk around town again…

Feels good to get out.

Having a burger at the bar right now… Missed being able to do things like this.

Big time win for USA.

Connor Hellebuyck is so good right now…

On to the semi’s!

It was great to see a Tempranillo at my closest liquor store…

It sucks that it’s probably the worst Tempranillo I’ve ever had.

Shame that they gave up the late goal, but this was the type of game that showed Wrexham is definitely at a quality level for the Championship.

The look on the eyes of some of these curlers…

You just know they’ve seen some shit.
