Semantics. I don't believe Milbury hates women. He just needs a refresher on why they are at least the equal of males. Especially these days.

Saying Milbury's comment was less greasy than Brennaman's is a pretty slippery slope for me. But under duress I'd probably agree. The fact of the matter is just because Brennaman's was worse doesn't excuse Milbury's. And, yes, Milbury's comment was definitely misogynistic. And it was outdated even if no crudeness or malice was intended. I'm totally with you on people being absolutely free to express their heartfelt opinions. I just think they should be held accountable for them when they do.

There is indeed a growing mindset about being careful about the words and sentiments used to express ourselves and our views. This is not a bad thing. This is THE thing. This is our current reality. We are finally meaningfully and collectively rising up against racism, police violence, and multiple forms of intolerance and injustice. It is no longer cool to say something is "gay" that you find distasteful like it was in 2005. It is no longer cool to use the N word. It is no longer cool to use the F word for gay males. Confederate flags and memorials are finally being seen for their traitorous and anti-American nature. And misogyny is no longer cool. This leads me directly to your 2nd bolded sentence. These previously accepted violations did exactly what you are bemoaning. They created a climate of fear for the victimized. The fact that you are resisting the progress that is happening now does not make you a victim. It makes you an idealogue.

Flyers / Isles Bolts / Bruins Go Tampa!

Bye bye Capitals!

That Subway commercial is really starting to rattle me. I'm guessing it's being run 20+ times per game. Never eating there again - lol! It literally just ran again as I typed this.

A thought occurred to me yesterday about the herd immunity discussion upthread. Some were questioning how only a 20% infection rate could result in a plateau of new cases. There was some speculation that maybe an additional 50% of the population was either just plain immune to COVID or had gotten it without any symptoms or realization, which is a very sensible line of speculation to me. But what happens if the discussion is not just biology driven and introduces behavior into the equation? In a complete oversimplification, let's say there are 3 kinds of people: 1)first-line responders (on paper probably more susceptible due to proximity and number of interactions with infected people and places), 2)the careful people (who wear masks and social distance and do all the right things religiously), and 3)the group I will somewhat euphemistically refer to as the reckless (those who refuse to wear masks, regularly go to bars and parties, etc.). My assumptions are that group 1 can limit exposure due to proper equipment, sound protocols and good training (granted less so for police and firefighters vs. medical personnel). Group 2 can keep exposure pretty close to 0 (provided not in an urban area, or not having a job where working at home is possible, etc.). So maybe the herd immunity really only applies to group 3. Once that group achieves 80% infection, or whatever the herd immunity exposure percentage requires, then there are very few people left who are in any real danger of catching it. I'm sure there are many holes in this line of reasoning, and many reasons why it would be extremely difficult or impossible to prove, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

The Chambers Brothers hit a grand slam with this one in 1967...

I think Korpisalo was the best player on the ice despite the result. That's 2 fantastic games in a row. edit - looks like the 3 star people think so, too.

Queue the Dragnet theme - TB PP.

150 total shots on goal. CBJ 59 blocked shots.

Wow. Canes Bruins got moved to tomorrow 11am.

Wow. Korpisalo was great tonight. CBJ in general was great actually. I will be horrified if TOR gets the top pick due to this loss, but I'm absolutely loving it right now!

Very true. My main reason for having the Leafs as my hated #2 is the Toronto media. I was born in Toronto and still have lots of family there, and they are all totally ***** beyond hope in terms of objectively assessing the Leafs' chances in any given year. Every year is "The" year for them because the media says so.

In 1975 the Flyers beat us in the finals. I was a kid when the 1974-75 Broad Street Bullies were the embarrassment of the entire sports world (and that includes the East German she/male steroid experiments that netted an incredibly disproportionate number of gold medals for East German "women" in multiple "amateur" Olympics back in that era). Don't even get me started on the actual city of Philadelphia and the animals that live there. We don't need to build any walls down south. We need to build a wall around Philly! Google "move movement philly", or Frank Rizzo. Here are some "highlights" from the Eagles --> https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/eagles-fans-are-the-absolute-worst-and-here-are-9-times-they-proved-it/ The current Eagles stadium (and the one before it) actually requires/d an on-site jail and a magistrate to be present for all games due to the constant level of insanity. They make Raiders fans look like nuns. Philly's nickname of "The city of brotherly love" is way more egregious than North Korea's "official" name of "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea". Thanks for asking! I always feel better after getting to rant about Philly!

You nailed it. The 3 most hated teams for me, with Philly #1.

Yeah, I think it was deliberate too. Tkachuk should be suspended, but knowing the NHL, I doubt he will.

Lake Tahoe and the surroundings are amazingly beautiful.

I'm really starting to enjoy the PLL (Premier Lacrosse League). It's field lacrosse (outdoors) with 7 teams playing in a tournament somewhere in Utah. Any fans of NCAA lacrosse will almost certainly dig it. NBCSN is where I'm seeing it.

Thank you for summing it up so succinctly. It is so ***** easy to wear a mask and it's so beneficial for everyone around us. People who refuse to wear masks in public...I wish I knew a way, or a line of reasoning that would make them question their choices.

Guy Carbonneau Claude Lemieux Mario Lemieux Mark Messier Scott Stevens

I would rank that Gretzky line ahead of our guys. Esa Tikkanen was was a guy I would go to war with. The only reason I hesitate to say they are #1 is that I didn't see the Howe line ("The Production Line"), and my dad and my uncle raved about this line a lot back when I was a kid. Mario Lemieux was on two amazing lines, also. Lemieux/Jagr/Stevens and Lemieux/Jagr/Francis. The Stevens one scored 365 points in 92-93 with Mario missing 22 games.

I made it through the entire series. I get where you're coming from. There was a certain angst that never lets you really "enjoy" it, but I'm glad I watched it all, and would do it again.

Wow. First I heard of this. I need to check it out. Thanks! For all of you "The Shining" fans, check out "Room 237" if you haven't already. Outstanding documentary about the movie delving into the multiple aspects, theories and influences behind it.

I just got started on a really trippy show that I am enjoying called "The OA" on Netflix. Hard to compare to any other shows, but "The Leftovers" probably comes closest.
