  1. At the end of the day, I think I can safely say Edmonton is a better team than us today. I feel reasonably comfortable saying Florida is a better team. I can’t say that about anybody else in the NHL. They might be but I’m not certain. This team is still coming. Benn’s window has about run out, if it hasn’t already. Seguin is close. Pavelski’s ended last season. Nill has built this team to be good for the foreseeable future. Will it ultimately win a Cup? I don’t know. But we’re going to be among the final four teams nearly every year moving forward. Make a few tweaks here and there and maybe you wind up with a run of Finals appearances, maybe a Cup or two.
  2. Is that an aggy pay-to-play thing or something?
  3. A-fucking-men. And I'd be lying if I didn't say part of my affinity for Snow's is the friendship that I've been blessed to make with Tootsie over the seven or years she's been coming up to Dallas every spring to be a celebrity judge at our BBQ cook-off. She loves the Ashford Rise School of Dallas (which is what all of our events benefit 100%) and she keeps coming back every year -- without fail. The one year she missed was the year Kerry had a stroke and she felt like she had to be at the restaurant on that Saturday. (I almost feel sorry for those that to go Snow's the weekend of our event because I'm sure they're totally bummed that she ain't there. But I digress.) Each time I make it to Snow's, she comes out to say hello and visit with me and my group (whoever it might be) -- if we don't have an arrangement to jump the line and sit in the back room. One Father's Day weekend I was with my parents and son and we decided to make a run over from Lost Pines where we were spending the weekend. I texted Tootsie and she said, "C'mon." We waited for several hours. She came out and asked if there was anything we wanted. I was quick to tell her I was looking forward to getting a pork steak. She said they were getting low and pulled one aside for us. Of course everybody around us in line were whispering and asking who the fuck I was to get such an audience with the grand dame of Texas BBQ. Once we made it through the line, she sat with my family and I for nearly an hour while we ate and visited. Another time, a group of buddies and I drove down in a 1980 tour bus that one of them owns and spent the night next to Snow's. We were the first ones there but were the third group in line because we went next door to the pool hall to drink beers that evening. I was able to greet Tootsie when she came in to work at like 4AM. She told me I should really go get some sleep before they started serving food. I was pretty shit-faced still. LOL. That woman is a Texas treasure.
  4. I'm really disappointed in Wyatt Johnston's play this postseason. I was not expecting a total dud from him. Wonder if he's nursing some kind of ailment. Also, Harley seems to have a taken a huge step back since Miro returned. At any rate, we need to get more dynamic offensively next year. We need guys that can grind out dirty goals in the playoffs. Hell, I'd see if there's a market for Robertson.
  5. I'm kind of speaking out of my ass on this one but pretty sure he posted something pro-Trump leading into election season as well and I decided to pull away from his socials because at that point, I didn't want to know. AFAIK, Quinn was way more invested in that shit than Arch but I'm not shocked given Arch's background and upbringing.
  6. Yep. Find a way to win Game 5 and shift the pressure back on Edmonton to close it out in Game 6. All we can do.
  7. Probably don't want to follow Arch either then.
  8. I like tacos. ‘TACO’: Wall Street Mocks Trump With 4-Letter Code to Call Bets Against Him TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/taco-wall-street-mocks-trump-with-4-letter-code-to-call-bets-against-him/
  9. I've talked to Daniel about this. They'll go anywhere. They go to the places that make the list multiple times. If somebody comes back with an unexpectedly high or low score, Daniel will go personally to see what's what. I think TM reviewed more than 300 for this list. Take a look at some of the metropolises represented by the top 10 this time: Seguin, Port Neches, San Juan, Aledo, Port Lavaca and Wolfort. Also this. And for those of you still bitching about Snow's, the food is still great. Tootsie's pork steak is worth the drive by itself. Hanging around with other BBQ lovers, drinking free beer/bloody marys on a Saturday morning -- what's so shitty about that? Can't UberEats that. Being there is part of the experience.
  10. I was there. It remains one of the most amazing in-person sporting events I’ve ever attended.
  11. Pathetic third period performance
  12. Oilers just bleeding the clock away
  13. Can’t get any sustained pressure at this point
  14. Getting played off our skates to start the third
  15. Not the last two games for the most part. Skinner has been the difference.
  16. Now is as good a time as any
