Ugh. That’s the feeling of every Capitals fan the last two days. On the same day a year apart eliminated by the damn Penguins? Ugh! In the West I got both the number of games and the winner right in both series’. In the East, I got everything wrong. I could not have been more wrong without picking teams that… Read more »
Edited: I had a brain fart and wrote that the Rangers had home ice in round 2. I realized this after the fact. They do not. Ottawa does. Wow, round one had some surprises and a few series which were pretty great at busting brackets — mine included. Let me recap for those who aren’t paying attention, and also predict… Read more »
The national hockey league needs either better referees or a person on the outside of the ice able to review plays and take some of the control away from the blind zebras on the ice. The series so far for the Washington Capitals has been filled with: – Leafs players constantly stick-grabbing, like it’s a gay night club. (Especially Game… Read more »
Meant to post this yesterday but there’s always something in the way. Here we go: My full bracket is as follows: Round 1: Capitals over Leafs, Penguins over Blue Jackets, Habs over Rangers, Bruins over Senators, Blackhawks over Predators, Wild over Blues, Ducks over Flames, Oilers over Sharks. I don’t expect any sweeps in the first round; maybe the Caps… Read more »
The following program is a parody. Any resemblance of characters contained below is purely intentional humor. As the camera pans over the crowd — which is yuuuge and going wild, it eventually settles on the ring. Standard wrestling ring but with red, white, and blue ropes and turnbuckle pads. One Donald J. Trump stands in center ring, holding a microphone,… Read more »
Because Politicians Aren’t The Only People Entertaining Us On Behalf of Millionaires Clunky sub-title/gag line there. Here’s the run down: Second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs are under way, and my bracket is totally busted on one side. The NHL has a joke of a referee squad and a joke of a disciplinary committee (still better than the NFL),… Read more »
Politics can wait. Depending on how the Ducks/Predators game goes tomorrow night, I will either have been right about all but one series (I had chosen the Panthers to beat the Islanders), or right about all but two. If the Ducks lose, four of the final eight teams will have never won the Stanley Cup: Predators, Capitals, Sharks, and Blues…. Read more »
Something different Washington has home ice advantage throughout playoffs, and I expect that’ll pay off handsomely for them this time around. The team, the coach, it all seems to have come together. I see them beating Philly in 6 games — as good as Washington is, Philly is playing hot right now and Washington coasted in. Pittsburgh is also playing… Read more »
At Least One Admits It I did not grow up a football fan. My father is a football fan, but somehow we missed connecting on that even when he took me to Saints games a few times. It just never imprinted until I got a bit older. It’s hard for me to really put a time frame on it but… Read more »
I’ve spent more time than I should reading comments from random internet users about Ray Rice, and there are two things that most of them are getting wrong: 1. “How did the NJ DA let him get away!!” Because the victim in this case wasn’t cooperating with the prosecution. Assuming NJs laws are like most places, then she can decline… Read more »
