  1. They ought to start deducting points from Spurs total for every time they lose by more than three goals. Because right now, no side deserves relegation more than Spurs.
  2. I will be downright shocked if this game doesn’t go to overtime. #reversejinx
  3. I've stayed at the Grand Hyatt more times than I care to recount owing to flight cancelations and such. I mean, I'm never happy when I'm there. But you get a nice room with a view of the ramp and runways. The bar is actually good. And it's really nice to be a few steps away from the TSA checkpoint.
  4. I don't think you're right on that. It's not one of the Speaker's priorities (far from it), and they're getting down to crunch time on things that are far more important. It's not to say that it won't pass in future sessions; it is to say that I don't think it's going to pass in this one.
  5. You need to clarify the thread title to make it apparent that we are talking about a prolific public masturbator. Because as it now reads, pretty much all of Surly is like “you’re goddamned right I’m roaming free.”
  6. And yet, contrary to expectations, I'm not shocked.
  7. Eh—I’ve been out drinking with Dean Evason back in the day. Darcy Wakaluk was there, too. They’re good people.
  8. Well, I’m usually not into that kind of thing, but when you’re right, you’re right.
  9. Honest story--I bought an oil-on-canvas replica of that for Mrs.LL for our fifth wedding anniversary, and it has hung over our fireplace ever since. Only a few weeks ago did it come down when I replaced it with a piece that we bought in Tokyo in March. It is worth observing that Mrs.LL is from Long Island, and can recite that entire scene from heart with the appropriate accents.
  10. Well, yeah--that's my point. He didn't intent to trip Marchment; he intended to launch Marchment into the bench. But intent aint got nothing to do with it.
  11. Is it wrong of me that I want that painting with my head on it for my office at home?
  12. That article has the slo-mo on the penalty he took for tripping Marchment near the end of the third (which led to Seguin's goal to put us up 3-1), and it shows it's clearly tripping. I know Foligno didn't intend to trip him. But when Marchment sidestepped the hit, the only point of contact was with Marchment's skate, which caused Marchment to go down rather than be able to follow the play. And that's fucking tripping. If you're so pissed about it, perhaps don't take a run at a guy when you're already down a goal with less than six minutes left in the third period.
  13. And there's an extra day between Game 5 and Game 6. So it might make sense to save him until Friday.
  14. I do kind of like this up 2—it allows us to shoot at the empty net with no icing.
