Sportsnet evidently displayed the top three ahead of time on accident. Check the time stamp of that tweet. Oops ?

The lottery is very early this year. April 9th. Perhaps that’ll play into the timing.

Around the NCAA...

Ristorilin’ Mode: activated. Target: that orange streak wearing #97

Had some pretty good seats for this afternoon’s CBJ-Oilers game. McDraisaitl line: 4 Everyone else: 0 Our old pal Kassian opened the scoring.

Awesome list, thanks for sharing! Your #3 got me googling, and the Sabres actually have a decent amount of playoff experience. Pommers- 81 Okposo- 24 Sheary- 57 Hunwick- 26 Scandella- 36 Sobotka- 56 Wilson- 23 Beaulieu- 17

Lol, I’ve actually never heard that one before. I’ll use that! Obviously not what I was going for. In fact, ask my wife and she’ll tell you I’m a baby about any injury ? Just pointing out that ankles are oddly finicky. What you feel at first might not be indicative of the true injury. The way Skinner winced and tried to push himself off the ice, it sure looked like he thought it was broken. I think we’re all glad it’s not!

Ankles are funny. When I broke mine, I honestly wasn’t sure it was broken until 5-10 minutes later when the swelling and pain really set in. I got up and walked on it, trying to convince myself it was just sprained. Then after I had recovered, I rolled that same ankle playing basketball. In the first few moments, it felt about the same as when I broke it. But I took the next game off, tightened up my shoe, and played three more games that day. It really wasn’t bad at all. Just an initial shock.

Hunwick and Sam teaming up for a goal is the first time 48 and 23 have done so since you-know-when. (Carrier is the only player to wear 48 since, and he never picked up a point alongside Reinhart)

Give the guys a break. They didn’t have a chance to watch Bird Box until the All-Star bye ?

Like I always say, this one’s a home game for me! I’ll be there. First game I’ve attended since the 9-2 drubbing of Ottawa that seemingly kickstarted our awesome stretch. Here’s to hoping we catch that fire again tonight and help Torts run Bob right on outta town.

Update (NOT awesome alert) I loved my new Nighthawk for ~4 days. Then I tried to work from home. I use a Cisco Anyconnect VPN for all of my access. Apparently there’s a known issue (previously unknown to me, of course) with the Nighthawk firmware that makes it incompatible with my specific VPN. I tried everything imaginable in the router settings but i couldn’t get a stable connection. I finally gave up and googled if there was a problem specific to my VPN. Sure enough, Netgear has been promising a firmware fix since 2016!! Everything I’ve owned from them has been bulletproof and exceeded my expectations, but this backlogged fix was a bit of a letdown. Anyway, I’m packing her up today and shipping back to amazon. I have a new TP Link on the way, roughly the same price but should work with my VPN. It’ll be here tomorrow. Amazon, now they are awesome.

Ha, I did the exact same thing last week. I went from 45/10 to 110/10 by replacing my router with a decent nighthawk. Never realized quite how much I was sacrificing with my outdated one.

I watch a lot of Seth Jones here in Columbus, and I always think... good lord, they once had this guy too!?

If he does this to a Patriots DB, I’ll buy his jersey ?

Somebody tell Yandle that defensemen are allowed to hit guys before the whistle. ?

Yandle looked like a fool there. Tage sure got him turned awkwardly. I have always been a fan of his (I wanted him instead of Okposo during that offseason). But I enjoyed seeing his hips look fluid as molasses there after his uncalled-for Skinner tackle last game.

Well, he has 1 career rushing yard. I wouldn’t want him to finish negative!

Slow sports night I suppose, so Fox Sports Ohio is televising the Amerks-Monsters game. I stumbled upon it while scrolling through the guide. I honestly thought they were wearing ugly Christmas sweaters ? The color schemes are wayyyy too similar. This is brutal to watch.

This is the RJ thread, not the Christmas gift thread ?
