Eleven

It has NOT been a great playoffs, that's for sure. Probably we need to change up who starts the thread for each round here. OTOH there's a pretty good Law & Order on WE right now.

This is why we love you @inkman. Well, one of the many reasons.

For the love of all good in this world THIS THREAD IS ABOUT JOHNSON. TALK ABOUT MY JOHNSON.

Sorry--more on this theme even though the game is over--I'm thinking Kruger from Seinfeld. Or maybe even Ralph Krueger. Just kinda casually strolling out with a NYC-style dirty water dog in hand-to-mouth while a face-off is happening in one of the ends. No, I have not had any edibles.

VERY slowly.

How awesome would it be to see some Bears fan casually stroll out to center ice munching on a hot dog with like 15 seconds left?

And our friend John Daniel killed a few cells in mine. All good.

THAT's what got you thinking?! Inky, I think the rest of North America has been thinking it for a decade! That's why I posted what I did.

The character's name is Digory, not Allegory, and he's only in the first book in any meaningful way.

Eat a gummy or play some darts or something...a book? Books are good. How about a Narnia book?

Relax. I'm not the only poster who has commented that the WC semi is the slowest and least urgent semifinal in ages.

I have one of these. It's the only way I can find the bathroom in the middle of the night, especially if I don't want to put my specs on. It's very useful.

No, it really isn't. This series is SO SLOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW Florida is going to make Vegas play hockey.

Is there another team in this game? Most hockey games have two teams.

Todd Sadowski can't be happy.

Hershey laid down a "kiss" about 10 seconds in.

Wow, well, "Chocolatetown USA" just took on a new meaning.

I didn't know that Fox 43 sports director Todd Sadowski would be present. I feel like I should have dressed up a bit.

Well, as explained above, I'm a bandwagon fan. So LET'S GO AMERKKKKKKSSSSSSSSS

Well, the US has done a nice job of pissing away a 2 goal lead with 5 minutes left. But scored the OT winner. 20 of 21 points, not too shabby.

Also, happy Sherlock Holmes day, everyone. Go hound some Baskervilles.

There's a bonus for just showing up?! Also, I have to share a casino story w/ you, from your state. Erie, specifically. I'll write it down some day...

Is there ANY chance of this thread returning to its topic?

No, every team has played 6 group games now. The elimination rounds start Thursday.

He called him Craig at some point last week; I posted about it if you want to search.
