    He wasn’t embellishing. That was clear to me when it happened.

    Yeah. I made that exact point with a buddy of mine today at lunch. They pack a punch.

    It wasn’t a haymaker. Maybe I’m giving too much credit, but I’ve faced worse in beer league. A lot worse.

    That is not "physical". That is dirty. McDavid's play was not dirty in my opinion. He was only trying to hinder Johannsson from getting to the puck carrier. A very, very common tactic in hockey. He just clipped him in a bad spot. Should have been a penalty, but I can see how they missed...

    Late in the 2nd period, McDavid stuck his elbow out abruptly right after he had given up the puck and smacked Johansson in the head. Marcus didn’t return to the game. No penalty was called. TV guys were saying it could have been a double minor. I think it was a dangerous move only because...

    Yeah. I thought the same thing. He’s not a dirty player and the game was still in the balance. I also didn’t see it as egregious as the TV guys did (which is surprising, since they worship him on TNT). I mean stuff like that happens along the boards all the time. Freak occurrence.

    Great post. I agree 100% with your assessment of the defense. I would also say that we relied too much on forcing turnovers. While obviously a great trait for a defense, it can serve to gloss over chunk yardage and can be an unreliable tool. I would prefer a more stingy defense, if I had to...

    He also had an affair with a woman with a goiter.

    Shit ton of shots by San Josie- to be expected with top 3 D out - but Fleury stops all but one in a magnificent effort. Rossi & Boldy score and the game is iced by a nice forced turnover by Chisholm and a heads up (literally) 2/3 ice shot right in the heart of the empty net by Zucc, with the...

    What is an acceptable expectation for a Gopher Men’s Basketball Head Coach?

    I would like it if you crawled into a deep hole and never re-emerged. Does that answer your question?

    I wasn’t so fortunate. Brought my pond hockey friend to his first ever Wild game (not a wealthy man). Oof. Heard Hynes on the way home. He wasn’t too alarmed. I dunno. Gus has given up 10 goals in his last 5 periods. I think 4 or 5 of them tonight were over his glove side shoulder. We also had...

    There is zero chance anyone would be stupid enough to spend a top 3 draft choice on someone hobbling around the sidelines 4 months after a meniscus injury. No chance.

    @TRF Guy @Ogee Ogilthorpe Tenna-B was just talking about Faber and still had no further information. He wasn't even sure when it happened. He said on his last shift out, maybe he got his arm twisted, but definitely not sure. Also mentioned he got hit pretty hard his 2nd to the last shift...

    @TRF Guy, I was playing pond hockey all night. I was able to catch the last 15 minutes of the game and watched the entire post game and didn’t catch it - what happened to Faber? And when the F is Kaprizov going to return? It was supposed to be day-to-day.
