Again, your profile picture.

I never have understood the concept of "boxer briefs"--it's like all the restriction of briefs but ... more? Like if I'm doing something that calls for support, well, there are briefs or jockstraps for that, and if I'm not, there are boxers for comfort; why are we taking the worst aspect of briefs and extending that further down the leg?

Hoppe is an excellent reporter.

They make it up as they go along, like DoPS.

Refs are doing NYR every possible favor tonight.

No spoiler alert?

gross

Well Jessie's kicking ass in Madrid right now so she definitely will not be there.

OK, but this past week?

Why are they wasting a week in between playoff games? (That happened this past week, too.)

Well, it hired Rick Bowness, for one thing. Check out his lifetime coaching record--it is a litany of sixth- and seventh-place finishes--and then try to explain to me why teams keep hiring him.

Who among us would be upset if the Bruins have a goaltender controversy going into a Game 7? (This is not argumentative...just an observation.)

Safety ... always off ...

Fine, but you can't un-see it now, can you?

I am just guessing here--and I mean guessing--but TBD has a significantly larger crowd, so if anyone other than Scott or his designee starts posting picks, it will get chaotic, and the mods will have a lot of cleanup to do. Here, we just kind of know it's going to be a mod for the first couple of rounds (seems like Chz lately) and go along with it.

Is it four elimination games tonight? This should be fun!

Not low bridge; low bar.

I don't see Ditka mentioned anywhere above.

Fourth: If he thinks Denver traded Fant because they were dissatisfied with him, he's smoking the good stuff.

It's a low bar.

That's why on the analytics, and I agree with you wholeheartedly on face-offs, and I am happy that TB won. The series I'm mostly interested in--Rags and NJ--is upside-down. I really thought the Rags were going to take the series and go all the way to the finals based upon the way they came out in games 1 and 2. And now...wow.

Can I ask why your avatar looks like a dark-haired Beavis desperately trying to rub one out?

They have used every system imaginable, including a straight 1-16, so which system do you mean? Personally, I liked one team coming out of each division, even though it wasn't great for us here in Sabreland.

I don't see anything under your username. The website is garbage. I'd love to find an alternative for next year.

You have to be kidding.
