    Because ties are boring and stupid to boot.

    Yep. Professional hockey is an absolute grind. You can’t take a shift off. I think back-to-backs with your rule would be practically impossible. I would say no home-away back-to-backs.

    2024-25 Wild Season

    The Predators have some pretty talented players and were supposed to be much better. The Wild appeared a little gassed, but I think slogged through it and got the job done - in large part thanks to another terrific game by Gus. Nice game by Foligno and, as usual, KK buzzed all over the place...

    Thanks for the information. Maybe this is the first of a few moves and we will get some draft stock back? I just don't like all those high draft picks. FWIW, TSN gave the Wild an A and Columbus a B-...

    Weird move, on the surface. Will start in Iowa. Gave up a haul of draft choices. This guy better be a stud.

    I’m not certain how the rule works. It’s a race to the face off dot. But it’s unclear to me how it works if the puck rebounds beyond the dot. Which it did.

    2024-25 Wild Season

    To be fair, missing Zuc and Khusnutdinov hurts us pretty bad. Wild came out on fire and had half a dozen grade A scoring chances early. Play leveled off, then the second half of the game tilted towards the Jets. Still, the Wild generated ton of shots and good chances. Game easily could have gone...

    That’s great. Need more production from him. I would trade him, if they could get something in return. Bad contract. Good locker room guy, yes. Need more production.

    If you are underestimating or giving Guerin no credit for getting Kaprizov back on US soil without incident the past couple years, you haven’t been paying attention. He won’t talk much about it, but I’m betting he was critical to the process.

    He plays as a first liner now when the other team has an empty net. I feel like he never did under Dean Evason. I couldn’t figure out why. He’s incredibly good along the boards where a lot of the 6-on-5 action takes place. He aggressively tries to score goals and has the skill to make them...

    2024-25 Wild Season

    Shot attempts far too lopsided. But yes, our key players looked good. Can’t say I understand the goalie situation though. Love Fleury, but he’s a short-timer and blocking the long term plan.

    Last night was the grand opening of Lucky Cat Records. Music aficionados will know this as the location of Treehouse Records and before that Oar Folkjokeopus, where local legends The Replacements, Hüsker Dü, Soul Asylum and Suicide Commandos got their start. Kitty corner from the CC Club on 26th...

    I suppose “unglued” is a fair description. She was definitely losing her cool. Navarro played flawlessly. Gauff couldn’t get Navarro on her heels with her power, like she usually can to her opponents. Both women were hammering the ball. Gauff’s backhand is next level - which is why Gilbert was...

    Really rough to see those two misses. Rory was money until he missed the first of the two short ones. His drive on 18 was pure jitters. And he was so solid all day off the tee. Meanwhile Stiff Arms was in the scrub all day off the tee and paid for it exactly the same number of times as Rory...

    Hall of Fame center Bill Walton has died of cancer, the NBA says. He was 71.

    Great yearly interview with Barriero at the Final Four. Missed him this year for undisclosed reasons. I think we now know why. R.I.P., you crazy good athlete, broadcaster & Deadhead!

    I don't know if your numbers are true - unlikely. But the point stands. I was just talking to someone about how if these were the olden days, this would have been a very fun group to watch emerge and maybe do some damage. Instead, fuck college basketball. It's stupid now. Good luck with...

    Who in their right mind would move from the NBA to the complete shit show of NCAA basketball coaching? No thanks. You couldn’t pay me enough.
