Eleven

I read a great counter to this earlier today somewhere. It went something like this: The Caps and Avs are in the final. In Game 1, Ovechkin does one of his stupid Ovechkin things and injures a fourth-liner for the Avs. The Avs, wanting Ovechkin out of as many games as possible, and easily able to disguise the nature of the fourth-liner's injury because of the NHL's reporting rules, exaggerate the severity of the injury and just swap in JAG for the fourth-liner. As a result, Ovechkin's suspension is longer.

Given the air that TSN gave it, yes I do. It was a stupid and dangerous hit.

I'm done for the evening. There's got to be an infomercial I haven't seen or something else that's more entertaining, right?

You didn't like the last owner. Or the good coach. Or anything.

Or Clemens. Maybe they shouldn't have doped. Maybe they shouldn't have been jerks to everybody. But they did and they were, and both of those things are factors.

Watch a freaking replay already. It's thirteen seconds of football. Then you can give us all the negativity that you desparately want to give.

Too many negatives. Someone translate. Thank you. Thank you, too.

I just got home and haven't watched a second. Can I assume that Dell is responsible for this mess?

WTF is this central time nonsense?

Chinese.

1. No time runs off the clock. 2. About a second, if executed perfectly, or two if not--but remember, the receiving team is now a lot closer to field goal range. A squib kick was not the difference in this game.

I just needed to breathe after that last night. Wow. I don't see any problems with the future. Win one more game (Jax comes to mind), and that game last night would have been in Buffalo. They need a pass rusher and they need to stop with the delayed Edmunds rush stuff, which always results in an 8-13 yard play. They need one more good offensive lineman. Those are easy problems to fix. Yes, that was a very Billsy way to lose a game. But I didn't think they were going to win and it was a lot closer than I expected. So I'm ok.

Yep

McDermott is doing everything I ever have wanted a coach to do on fourth and short.

Home team losing on a last-minute field goal? I'll take it. I have Xanax.

Tom Brady = Rasputin. The NFC Championship game was scheduled as the late game on Sunday well before we knew a West Coast team (49ers) would be playing in it.

Love this idea.

Well this was a nice win and a nice surprise.

OK that was a fun period.

That's very nice and all, but seriously, F Joes.

I'm probably not going to bother watching, then.

So four weeks, minimum.

Nah, I've been saying it for decades. It's weird. GO BILLS!!!!!

Very strong Gates Orlando vibe.

It may not be true among your friends. It is true among mine, and if you search either "Risto" or "Ristolainen" in the Flyers subreddit, you will see that it is true there, as well.
