Let’s enjoy tonight’s game and hope that the Penguins can actually generate some cohesive offensive zone time in the face of the Predator’s stifling defense.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.
Tick tock motherfuckers!
Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.
Republicans do not pay their debts.
And we’re all out of bubblegum.
I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.
Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?
They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.
“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”
Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.
The choice is between normal and crazy.
There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.
An unpunished coup is a training exercise.
“Let’s not pretend [Trump] wants to engage in high-minded discourse.”
A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.
Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.
‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’
There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.
The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.
There’s always a light at the end of the frog.
This blog will pay for itself.
Motown is Joe-Town!
This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.
How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Rules, in a knife fight????

World Cup qualifier in Colorado: US hosting Trinidad and Tobago, no goals in 20 minutes.
This is the kind of game the US ought to win easily, regardless of score.
I say “ought” for a reason.

Go Preds!

Preds showed some signs of life on that PP but no go.

This isn’t bad. Having to endure Doc Emrick AND Chico Resch during Devils’ broadcasts were equivalent to 38 Sidney Crosbyesque concussions per broadcast.
“And the puck ping-pongs! O my!”
“O my, Doc.”
“It blathers pinwheels along the ice . . . ”
“That’s right, Doc. O My!”

GO PENS! Fuck the crybabies.

I have to do laundry tonight because I’m running out of underwear. I will not be watching hockey while I do it, though I may work on my novel a bit.
Bitter Scribe
Crosby gives Subban an ice facial. Guess he’s sick of the Preds’ cheap shots. Both go off.
efgoldman
Well this one’s over
Rinne only plays well at home, I guess. Weird
Omnes Omnibus
@Mnemosyne: I will make sure Adam updates the files.
Bitter Scribe
Malkin scores. 4-on-4 hockey can be so kewl.

@Bitter Scribe:
Glad to be seeing them fight back.
Bitter Scribe
USA scores and T&T nearly ties 10 seconds later but it’s waved off for offside.
T&T goalie gets clobbered while making a couple of terrific saves. Still down.
Bitter Scribe
Preds put in backup goalie and Sheary promptly scores on him. 4-0.
Adam L Silverman
@efgoldman: Apparently each team only plays well at home. If the pattern holds this is going to create a numerical problem at some point for Nashville.

KESSEL!!!!
Bitter Scribe
Kessel scores. Maybe Rinne wasn’t the problem. The Preds have the best d-men in the league, but tonight they’re imitating a bunch of pylons.
Bitter Scribe
Can anyone tell me why NBC cares so much that Charles fucking Barkley is hanging around the Preds games?
efgoldman
The problem with letting the boys play is that when the game gets out of hand it really gets out of hand.
Narya
The Pens’ whining and cheap shots are making me root for the preds. Whom I don’t much like.
OTOH, I loathe Pierre McGuire with the white hot heat of 10,000,000 suns.
Bitter Scribe
@Narya: Personally, I don’t mind McGuire as much as Emrick. Although maybe that’s just because McGuire doesn’t get nearly as much airtime.

@Narya:
Ha, you must not have watched any of the rest of the series. About time the Pens fight back.
Adam L Silverman
And order has completely broken down.
Narya
@geg6: I’ve been watching all of it and I kinda hate both teams, to tell the truth. I would have preferred nearly any other matchup.
The thing I hate about McGuire is the tongue baths.
Jeffro
Back to Nashville!
