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.
No politics.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.
Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.
A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.
Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.
It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.
A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals
Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.
Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.
You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.
We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.
Shut up, hissy kitty!
Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”
Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.
Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.
We will not go back.
You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.
Fear or fury? The choice is ours.
JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?
The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.
“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.
Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.
🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵
The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.
Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

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.
geg6
@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!
