You don't increase the rink size, you do what they did 100 years ago: you reduce the number of skaters.
The people who don't want that don't really want flow.
Two questions. Would the PA be in favor of that? I think I've heard that would be a sticking point. Also, wouldn't the Ken Hitchcocks and Lou L.'s in the league just find new ways of defending it?

I think I do. I'm coming around to the idea that this organization has to preserve at least a little of its dignity. They can't come off as total dirtballs. Besides, they may not be in position to be much better next season — see Murray's quote about hoping to be better while still being in the lottery — and it might just fit Murray's overall plan to have Nolan coach a second season. Finish the job of changing the culture and raising the kids.

I went potty by myself todayyyyy!!!!!!!

Y'all can use the back of your paper. Carp is waiting to grade papers, and he ain't happy.

Could one of the smarty-pants calculate the odds of the Islanders missing the playoffs and then winning the lottery? Has to be infinitesimal.

That was pretty weak. I kept hoping for at least one good one, but it didn't happen.
Why post that in the Awesome thread? It's Thursday.

Jimmy Fallon hockey-themed bit based on player mug shots.

Now THIS is tanking! Perhaps this is the nuclear option IKP was hinting at? The hummus, recalled from Roch, will be strategically placed on the buffet table at the Sabres' pregame meal in Columbus. But is this cutting it too close? How long will it take for the players to start dropping?

Wait, what's that? (gorby holds one hand to ear) I'm being told from the control room that SABRA recalled the hummus. SABRA. @fakegorbyportwinestain regrets the error.

uhg, another yotes gdt? I'll go sacrifice another Canadian kitten to the hockey gods, maybe it will work.
We know they're Canadian kittens because they're so agreeable.
Welp, this thread guarantees another Arizona loss. The thread itself is bad enough, but "Desert Dogs" in the subject line is the kicker.

Hasek was practically free. Pegula and his billions arrived out of nowhere. Our original logo was an instant classic that emerged from a doodle on a cocktail napkin.
Meehan and Mogilny didn't end up in Siberia.

I agree. #### the hockey gods. What have they ever done for us?
11. Not Eleven. Pretty sure that guy emerged from the bowels of Hockey Hell. Malarchuk lived. The butt goal. I'm pretty sure they did some other things.

So, I played hockey last night for the first time in three months after breaking my foot (not hockey related, just dumb). All day long I was thinking about it and just really nervous. As soon as I started packing up my gear, I couldn't get to the rink fast enough. Man, I love hockey.
Here's a piece of advice to all you young hot shots out there. After you take a shot on goal, unless it's in the net, don't peel off. Keep attacking the net and go after the puck. This drives me crazy. Guys that do this leave so many scoring chances on the ice by taking themselves out of the play. Where do they learn this from, taking shots in warmups?
Did I mention I love hockey?
They assume it's going in and head for the bench for fist bumps?

Not to mention he kept calling 55 Rasmussen for at least the first period(I stopped watching after that)
I'm pretty sure he was saying Rasmussen, but Carolina does have a Rasmus Rissanen. I wasn't watching on TV, so I take it he was saying it when Ristolainen had the puck? If so, that's bad. That's not Rick. It's a tough situation — he's a parent who's slowly slipping away. The long goodbye.

An important takeaway from this is scene is that Jimmy is forgetting (mayhaps willfully) that Kim was the reason that he did "the right thing" with the money. I think another aspect of Jimmy's turn at the end is that it really broke his heart that she didn't want to partner with him (legally and otherwise). That, and the Chicago montage really hit home that scamming is Jimmy's Drug. Just like making drugs is Walter's drug.
Good stuff. You should have a Better Call Saul blog. You're wasting your brilliance on us. :)
I don't think he forgot why he did the right thing. I thought the final scenes were all about Jimmy finally letting go of Kim. He wasn't going to take her advice anymore and join that firm, when she had turned him down, and he wasn't going to try and be the good guy anymore to try and impress her. He's not going to be whipped anymore.

But Jimmy decides to completely embrace "Slippin' Jimmy" at the exact moment he has a six-figure income and steady work in grasp? It's not like he gave in to temptation after a string of indignities; it was more like he turned his back on success in favor of....nothing.
Or in favor of getting back at Kim. "I know why I did it," he told Mike about why he had the million bucks and more sent to the DA. "And I won't do it again." It was so Kim could get the Kettleman's back as a client and get out of Howard's doghouse. Yeah, no one said Jimmy is all that smart, or deep.
-
Was he embracing slippin Jimmy or becoming Saul Goodman ?
Is he Saul yet? Maybe there are more nudges to come.
-
I thought it was fantastic. I appreciate the non-finale finale. I didn't need some big payoff. That's how I started off thinking about how Jimmy would become Saul — maybe Kim gets tangled up in Nacho's net and dies or something. The drip drip drip of Jimmy's life has been fascinating. It's much more true to life. What pushes some people over the edge is sometimes one final nudge.
Anyone else think of Jessie's escape in the series finale of Breaking Bad when Jimmy was driving off?
Well, the show named after me has concluded its first season. The finale was a bit of a pace changer. This is the kind of episode that makes total sense in a binge-watch, but watching it as a finale left me a bit underwhelmed.
I love the ring, I loved some of the shots, but last week was the bang. Seems like everyone follows the GoT method of the penultimate episode having the excitement and the finale being mainly denouement.
I feel a bit more comfortable getting into shot-by-shot nitpicking now. Unfortunately, I still have no time to do so.
Great name!

The Sabres and Dan Dunleavy have said when the time comes, if Rick is still able, he will call any potential Cup-winning game. Of course it would be on radio as local TV coverage would be done at that point.
“If Rick Jeanneret is able to call the game and the Sabres get to the Stanley Cup final, in that situation I would gladly step aside and have the legend and the voice call the game, because I want to hear that call, too. As a hockey fan, I want to hear that call when the Sabres win the Cup. And if he’s able to do it, the only thing I would probably ask is that I’m in the booth with him when he’s calling it. I want to see it, I want to hear it, I want to feel it. As would any hockey fan across the NHL. Who doesn’t want to hear that?”

NHL is looking into the Methot stuff per Dreger
NHL is double-checking overhead camera to verify Methot shot in OT was wide and didn't go through the net as has been suggested.
But... but... wait for it... all goals are reviewed!

MIght be kind of poetic for it to happen against this opponent.

Another (teehee) awesome Billy Joel hockey parody. "Islanders like Me" to the tune of "The Downeaster Alexa." Very melancholy, just like the original, with some good self-deprecating humor.
INCREDIBLE FIND! Very young Rick doing a Jr. A game
in The Aud Club

What a find. So interesting. A student of mass communication could do a great paper on this. Was he Rick yet? Listen to the language. How did it evolve? I like the goal call at the end. The quip is the deadpan Jeanneret we came to know and love. I just love this. God bless the Internet. Thank you, Al Gore! (I'm still hoping to find Rick's call of the Bisons' Calder Cup championship. It might be the closest we come to the real thing.)
