The Swamp

Jets looking dialed in again in game 2. Connor-Schieffele-Dubois line has been as scary as any line I've seen in the playoffs without Connor McDavid on it.

If we weren't playing for such high stakes, I'd say let BSF21 in with his points starting to count tonight. Honestly I looked at it yesterday and just didn't have the time to put anything together. I'll be content to watch from afar this time. So I went ahead and drafted BSF a team using a random n...

Winnipeg played some pretty good hockey in November and December, but even then when they took a lead to the third period it was always hang on for dear life. Tonight, up 2-1 on the road, they tucked the Knights into bed, went downstairs, poured a rye whiskey, and made love to mamma. I haven't seen ...

Yeah, Bieksa in the cbc intermission said he didn't believe it could be true... insanely close to being blinded though.

Playoffs tonight (so far...) Are the Devils frauds? I hope not but didn't watch much of this game closely. No idea what to say about the Leafs. We're now 9 years since "it was 3-1" and it's taken until tonight for me personally to move past the idea that playoff choking and all that bullsh...

Back after a one year hiatus... Travzilla's NHL Playoff Pool (Chedda also has a $$$ pool available to enter... see this thread ) A reminder of the rules: - Players are ranked by regular-season Points Per Game, then divided into 10 groups. Each group has a different "multiplier" to alter th...

Hey guys, so I do have my old pool set up this year (got a term position at a school and told some of the kids I would run it for them). I was gonna open up a Swamp version too if the usual 10-15 guys want in again. Maybe I'll start a separate thread to keep this one for Chedda's big money pool (whi...

That was awesome. I am pretty pumped for this season. Even though it doesn't have the uncertainty of last year coming in with brand new cars, I think the cost cap combined with the exploding revenues of F1 have really closed the development gap between the haves and have-nots. For what it's worth, h...

When i think about how I'm kinda addicted to scrolling through twitter to keep up with what's going on in the world, I often mentally trace it back to the Katrina thread here. Johnnie, Howard, Bengal, and so many others posting real-time news and updates about what was going on. I vividly remember b...

Is Atlantic Canada still on the table?!? I know several middle-aged men and zero middle-aged women, so that's probably not helpful. Sorry you're going through stress/tension/unease of this process but I have no doubt you'll come through this for the better. I imagine there will be a lot of exciting ...

Canada gets the draw. Canada's first away goal against Mexico at Azteca in 41 years.

One of the biggest results in the history of the program. Finishing below 3rd now would mean a pretty big choke in a few winnable games (very much on the table).

travzilla

Ref just gave a stage 1 warning for (yet another) Azteca homophobic chant. This game was supposed to be the second empty stadium as punishment from the last time, a punishment that somehow got cut in half. Time for actual points to be deducted, what a joke. Turn on the game to see the very Canadian...

Canada 1:1 Mexico at the half in Azteca, and it could easily be 3-1 for the Reds. Davies and Buchanan on the wings causing chaos for Mexico.

what a mess still doesn't make any sense why they couldn't race at 9 a.m. local tomorrow outside of "the rules say we can't" I do see how that could be a bit of a logistical nightmare to fully staff the race track on that short notice but who knows. I've only been following F1 closely for...

Also, some of the hot takes about how wrong the polls were could have waited until the early and mail-in votes were counted, which were heavily Liberal. While the Libs did have a 8-10 point lead in a poll before the campaign started, the two or three polls done during the campaign showed a steadily...

Well. Not entirely sure if this is any sort of foreshadowing for the federal election but the CBC has just projected that the PCs have upset the Libs in the Nova Scotia election tonight The Conservatives here actually ran to the left of the Liberals on a bunch of issues. Once they kicked off the ca...

Had to mute the opening ceremonies. CBC is a great Olympic broadcaster but they never to great at the ceremonies. Just one cringe comment after another. I don't want real issues and controversies to be papered over but mentioning things in 1-line quips, while also trying to be entertaining and funny...

Surprised no one’s brought up sharing log-ins and access. Am I the only scumbag parasite here?

Here it is heading into the finals. Habs a bit of a pool buster but BSF and wlu going head to head with different Lightning.

And if BSF's buddy had actually picked a full roster he's probably comfortably out in front :)
