Oh…so she changed it from Gherkin? That’s seems better.
- Woderwick


No she stopped calling me Gerkin a long time ago,

She changed it from budgie, which came after she changed it from lightswitch.

The best name You can't go wrong.

Even "Billy" isn't horrible as long as it is just my sisters or mother(s) calling me that.

IT WAS A BULLpoop HIT TO THE HEAD MAN!

But seriously, I have no idea why it was a penalty. He seemed more or less in control of the puck so I guess you could stretch it that way but... seemed to me like a ref calling a penalty because the hit "looked" bad... which isn't in the rulebook.

Funny. After I sent this, I started to read the Twitter thread - which I am honestly loathe to do. Twitter gives me a headache. We think WE'RE idiots! Then you read the takes on Twitter and just feel sad for humanity. Like honestly, to the symbol of your very own avatar, I used to believe in the advocacy of Star Trek - that we as humans are destined for better and more civility - but then I read Twitter and have very, very serious doubts.

But the general consensus from those geniuses was also that there was no real penalty on that play. I'm not sure if I'm happy that we agree with them.

Cupsie has the best name for his cat. Long ago, I think it was in the movie Diva and there was a cat named Ayatollah. Thought it was funny at the time.

Well either there was a rare moment of clarity in the Twitter mind.

Or we're actually idiots this time.

4-3 Dallas in a shootout.

Both streaks continue.

Holl plays fantastic.

34 gets his payback for the cross check, drops gloves and beats the brakes off Benn.

Kurtis from Alberta loses his mind on Twitter.

Book it.

It's bittersweet for sure.

On one hand, I'm glad to see the team playing well and being carried by players that will be part of our core for years to come.

On the other, we're slowly but surely moving away from a top 5 pick in a strong draft year.

At least we might get 2 picks in the top 15 if Florida keeps faltering.

- Scabeh


Really surprised at Florida. Huberdeau/Weegar was a big loss, but Tkachuk was a big add. I have to think they will pick it up at some point.

I can't find it now, and I really don't understand you damn kids and your fancy stats, but apparently last night's performance by Murray was the highest "saves above expected" (or something like that) since they created the stat.

And a shout out to Casper the Great Pyrenees, who took on and killed a pack of 8 coyotes attacking his flock of sheep. It was 30 minute war, with cutie patootie kickin ass. Did I ever tell you guys how much I love dogs?
- Woderwick

my wife was telling me about that story.
hope the dog gets a medal for saving those lives.

The sporting world has lost a giant.
