  1. Nobody answered me immediately, so I had to google that shit. https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/dallas-stars-bang-guy-in-jail-not-at-playoff-games-22183077
  2. Apparently, that's not the case. Katy Perry had a concert scheduled at AAC on Wednesday that's now being postponed. eta: just saw @Skipper beat me to it.
  3. The East River is broadly going to be a no-anchor zone. There are so many cables and pipes running between Manhattan and Brooklyn that dropping an anchor could do a lot of damage.
  4. On the one hand, Skinner's record against Vegas was a red blinking warning light. We've seen the red-hot (but otherwise quite mediocre) goalie end promising Stars playoff runs before. Yeah--I'm talking about you, J.S. Giguere. At the same time, I'm just a little bit shocked at how easy an out Vegas was this year. They didn't look great against Minnesota in the first round. And let's just be honest--Minnesota this year wasn't a particularly great team. That Vegas let that series go seven is an indictment on that Vegas team. And then that indictment turned into a conviction in Round 2 when they just didn't look like they were in the same class as Edmonton. So I really don't know what I think about Edmonton and Skinner. I mean, I think they're probably a bit better than last year. But I think the Stars are also better than they were last year.
  5. Jesus Christ—how many streaming services would I need to watch all of my team’s games in a season?
  6. We had to put in our football team to lose this baseball game.
  7. I love this—send in everyone and get them experience in a big game.
  8. 81 conference championships!
  9. I love everything that the Finns are doing. But at what point do we get real concerned about the complete non-production from guys like Duchene, Marchment, and Dadanov? I'm giving Jamie Benn a pass here. He's old and slow. He's in the last year of his contract, and he's primarily along for the ride. If he can throw some hits and give you some tempo to give a spark, that's really all we need from him. And Seguin still has some jump. He scored a couple against the Avalanche. As a third-liner, I think I'm fine with what he's bringing. But we need some contribution from Duchene and Marchment. Really anything.
  10. Postgame rolling into Ticket Campound is gold.
  11. Brits, Mexicans, and Italians need to be in the conversation.

    2025 ACL

    I mean, look. It was Mothers' Day. I had gotten Mrs.LL flowers but nothing else. And her teenaged children typically had their heads up their asses. So they had done an inadequate job of prepping for Mothers' Day. And Mrs.LL expressed her excitement over this slate (particularly Doechii and Doja Cat) during brunch. Add to that the fact that I've never been to ACL, but I think I'd hate it. Hot. Crowded. And crowded with sweaty people. With outdoor toilets--not my jam. But even so, we're not going to live in Austin that much longer. And I kinda feel like I've got to go to ACL once. Just to do an Austin thing. Is that a long way to say that I now have Platinum tickets for ACL Fest? Yes. Yes, it is.

    2025 ACL

    The old-man energy on this thread is really entertaining.
  14. Goddamn—Vegas was fucking done. And in 30 seconds they score 2 to tie the game and suddenly have hope in this series.
  15. Generic. Peace. Build bridges. Kinda what you'd expect.
  16. I'm waiting patiently by the phone for it to receive a call from Rome any minute.
  17. Benn looked like absolute dogshit last night. Apart from a terrible penalty, he had a bad give-away in the defensive zone that ended up in the back of our net for their second goal. He was really sub-par. I didn't realize that this is a contract year for him and that he's a UFA after this year. I really don't know what we do about that.
  18. Why do you hate sports drama?
  19. Just waaaay too many turnovers on the defensive zone right now.
  20. Between the weird sound mixing and the low-energy announcers, this is the worst game presentation I’ve ever seen for an NHL game.
  21. I mean, it's a video . . . for a hockey team . . . in Winnipeg. So I really don't know what I was expecting. But even so--that's the whitest goddamned thing I've ever seen. And I fucking went to Highland Park High School. And SMU Law. So I've seen some white goddamned shit in my day.
