February 22, 1980 is widely considered the most iconic American men’s hockey moment: the β€œMiracle on Ice.”

Team USA went on to win gold against Finland, their most recent trip to the top of the podium.

I think the Americans have a better team, particularly on the back end and in goal. They're deeper and more well-rounded.

But Canada has a few guys that can just go thermonuclear. The U.S. doesn't.

It'll be 3-2 one way or the other. I think Canada sneaks out a third straight late win.

The Americans are in their good jerseys (the white ones). The Canadians are in their bad jerseys (the black Leaf).

Early edge goes to Team USA.

A chorus of boos when the U.S. men skated out for warm-ups. Sounds like a home game for Canada

This is just another symptom of the modern age of having every goddamn thing you say or do recorded and commented on for all to see - god forbid you happen to be a β€œperson of interest”, suddenly even a casual side conversation could be seen as newsworthy.

SEE: Alex Rochon’s wedding, made spectacle.

The second portion of this headline was a (presumably) joke response to an equally harmless question, suggesting that there weren’t immediate plans for follow-up content.

But when a news outlet failing to do due diligence makes it sound like genuine internalized hatred, they invite MORE harassment.

This person doesn’t even live in Texas. They don’t even live in America.

Charles Barkley refers to New York Knicks as β€˜Dicks,’ Shaq bursts into uncontrollable laughter It’s unclear if it was a Freudian slip or his way of mocking the team, but Charles Barkley called the New York Knicks β€œthe Dicks” during halftime of Saturday night’s ESPN on ABC coverage of the Knicks’ game against the Houston Rockets. And it left Shaquille O’Neal on the verge of tears in laughter. Inside Read more...

People have harassed me for saying what Jax did in the last episode was shitty, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine they'd do the same to the CREATOR OF THE FUCKING SHOW for just saying the main characters ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS???

The NBA's video call with GMs got tense once the topic of tanking came up.

Adam Silver's tone and demeanor shifted, according to three executives. β€œHe sounded more like [David] Stern,” one of them said.

But the message was sent loud and clear: Changes are coming.

It was lost to the internet but once I got to cover a strip mall shutting down and it had Giant Supermarkets as an anchor so the hed was Giant, Dick's, Party City To Close

Holy shit, the verbal gymnastics used to avoid saying that a woman ran over and killed a three year old girl with her car.

Feel like this is probably going to be a major on Ohio State's Chris Able (2)

So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year.

Where’s our refund?

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations β€œscrewed up” giving students access to so much technology: β€œI genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

Now THAT's a headline.

An empty-netter for Joel Armia makes it 5-1 Finland, which will continue its remarkable run in the modern Olympic era. No country has won more medals in the era of NHL participation than the Finns, who also have a gold medal in Beijing to their credit.

It seems like the majority of people are just looking at the headline and interpreting this as another "whoops! user data got leaked! our bad!"

What was actually exposed was code used in Persona's software. Code showing that this company is doing A LOT MORE THAN CHECKING YOUR AGE.

Cat over on twitter was just the most recent time someone has said "There are more 4.5 WR in the HOF than track stars", and I realized I don't think I've ever actually checked this. So let's do that!

there is still time for USA men's hockey to get involved in a low-stakes scandal overnight. golf cart theft, public urination, petting one of the bomb-sniffing security dogs despite repeated warnings. just throwing out some options. otherwise i question their desire to win
