Oh yeah, my bad on the Subban/Weber thing. There are days where I shouldn't try to form an opinion on the internet because I'm not really thinking it through that clearly. I call them "weekdays". My weekends aren't great either.

Part of me wishes the comments Homer made about other GMs being unwilling to talk to him after the Weber offer sheet would get ruled as collusion and wreak havoc for the owners, but that would probably destroy the league so eh

“I had made a promise to myself [that] I would sleep with the trophy that night,” reveals Lacob, which rhymes with Jacob. “Nicole [Curran, his longtime fiancée] and I did sleep with it.”

On one hand, we want to ask more questions; on the other, we don’t really want to know any more than he’s already shared. (Not that this animated hoops nut is going to tell us anyway.)

“I’ll leave it to the imagination,” he says, grinning. “We had a lot of fun with it.”

yeah im sure someone has. here are some observations:

it's too light to be used as a base so nobody's getting tied to the thing. it's too narrow to fit any fun body parts into it, there's no tight parts to insert things and no rounded cylindrical protrusions to stick into things. it's gotta be uncomfortable to do whatever you're gonna do knowing that the keeper guy has to be there monitoring things too. maybe you find some way to incorporate him too

Oh no it totally doesn't. Management is just generally smarter than publicly acknowledging it. That guy from the Red Wings calling players cattle in the last lockout and his subsequent fine was awesome.

Interesting stats post about power-play structure and what makes power-plays good. Insightful to reflect on just why Ovechkin scores from his office so much and also touches on the BJs success this year.

The Red Wings have 10 combined goals from Sheahan, Abdelkader, Ericsson, Kronwall, Glendening & DeKeyser.

They are making a total of $21 million this year, out of $79 million, and the Wings have zero available cap space.
