This team is going to be dreadful for the rest of this season. If they had a bunch of young prospects to call up and for extra ice time to, it would be fine, but we're just going to see a lot of Raddysh, Brodzinski and Miller.

Nice to get that third round pick back that Drury paid for him; it's a better return than I expected.

I'm still mad at Drury for forcing out Kreider (who is 10G6A16P in 19 games with the πŸ¦†) the way he did, but finally making room in the top 6 for a #1 draft pick to play his natural LW position has been way overdue.

The last three weeks have been exhausting, but it has been an absolute joy to witness our students' final concerts, senior recitals, grad recitals, doctoral defenses and research presentations. Seeing ambitious people challenge themselves and thrive (or even just survive) is so life affirming β™₯️

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History
YouTube video by Senator Chris Murphy Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History

I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.
