The Swamp

Seems obvious that the consultants should form their own party and run on the platform that simply electing them would save the country $17 billion.

edit: If they need help with this I would be happy to consult them... for a fee.

I'm not generally a big Vox reader, but this series they've begun is right up my alley: The Purity Chronicles - A series that looks back at the sexual and gendered mores and values of the late ’90s and the 2000s, one pop culture phenomenon at a time. Now if that sounds like something that everyone i...

The first question I had for my wife: Did Schwimmer color and style his hair as Ross for this special, or has he just been living with Ross hair for the last 17 years?

Just turned on the Brentford-Swansea promotion playoff. Thought I would be cheering for Brentford but first two plays I saw are Brentford players embarrassingly overselling fouls, so now I'm hoping for a Swansea comeback.

Totally enjoyed the Friends thing. Thinking about signing up for max to watch it and screeen a few movies for a month. The parts where it was just the six of them on the old sets or doing the table read were so good. Very genuine and humanizing. The sit-down with Corden was just ok, and most of the...

Colorado-Vegas is going to be so good and I'm probably going to end up seeing like 4 periods of it total. Really miss living in the central time zone during playoff time. Every game in that series will probably start at 11pm my time. I don't even have work to go to in the morning, I just can't stay ...

Wild are out. I think 5 people had Kaprizov for Minnesota, but at least he put up some points on the way out. Shoots wlu-lax up to 2nd. https://i.ibb.co/Z8SfWZW/image.png All three american second round series start this weekend. If Montreal forces a game 7 tonight, that's really gonna put the North...

I don't think anyone had any Predators so no damage there. Leafs getting some extra games in but the big guns not really putting up their usual points.

Penguins and Panthers eliminated. Ryan, Giff and Max took the biggest hits, losing 3 players each.

Three game-sixes tonight. After all the fuss, it looks like the Canadian series are going to finish before a bunch of other ones.

I'm pretty certain Winnipeg lost the xG battle in all four games. They did indeed, and they did all year. They outscored and outsaved their xG this series exactly like they did in the season. I'm just saying that, watching them during the year that was obvious. During the series I really thought th...

Bit of a late night last night, so the update is later than usual today :)

Everyone's roster goes down by one (1) Connor McDavid.

One good thing about back-to-back in the playoffs is you get really drunk watching the first game, sleep in until 1pm and then you're awake enough to watch the series clincher that ends at 3:05am. While all four of those games could have gone either way, there's a bit of a narrative on smart hockey ...

Blues and Capitals eliminated yesterday.

travzilla

Leclerc takes pole and Hamilton is 7th on the grid, could make for an interesting race Leclerc goes out for warm up lap and gear box is not working! Ferrari left it alone after the crash yesterday to avoid a penalty for replacing it and hoped there was no damage. Looks like he won't make it out. Wow.

At least it looks like those will be the only guys you lose this round, and they're making the most of it while they're around.

Which lap will Mazapin crash on, dramatically resetting the race with a red flag? I say lap 28 just after the pit stops.

Monaco Grand Prix qualifying about to start. Most important one of the year, as there is pretty much no place to pass someone during the race so you have to qualify as high as you can. All the race drama will come down to who crashes and when, and who can gain spots on pit stop strategies. I'm gonna...

No kidding. Not out of the ordinary for sportsnet.

Kadri gets 8 games, which is pretty significant, but fair given his rap sheet.

Ryan takes over the lead...

Another great game in Florida. Panthers tie it 5-5 with 3 minutes left. Looking like OT

I don’t think so. It looked more like the trainer decided he had to keep Tavares down or hold his neck and prioritized the latter? Yeah it did seem like Tavares was hell bent on getting up for some reason. I don't understand the fight afterwards. Is Corey Perry supposed to be answering for somethin...

travzilla

I don’t fully understand what happened. Was he trying to get himself up or was something so bad the trainer had to take the chance of moving him that way? Sportsnet never showed a replay of that moment but i figured he probably said he could get up and the trainer went with it until Tavares lost it...

travzilla

I think his history is gonna be a big factor here, combined with the indefensible-ness of this hit (Faulk doesn’t really make any last minute turns or change angles... just 100% dirty).

I say 6 games.

Degen and wlu-lax the only people not to pick McDavid, looking prescient. Degen riding MacKinnon hat trick and Jets empty-netters to to the top of the table.

travzilla

No SOG for McDavid thru 2? Jets are noticeably trying to rough up him and Draisaitl, and to an extent it’s working. More dump-ins rather than zone entries compared to past jets-Oilers games. Jets sacrificing a lot of offensive opportunities but I think mike smith is gonna cost the Oilers one of the...

Update from Tuesday's games

Canada joins the party tonight, and we've got 4 games a night for the next week at least.

So Tampa-Florida is living up to the hype of the series to watch in round 1.

We're off and running. Last call for entries.

wlu-lax out of the gate fast with 4.4 points from Tom Wilson. Really blind-sided us with that start.

Yeah not that I thought anyone would use that info to gain an advantage but who knows. They’ll be visible Sunday morning.

Bos-Wsh tonight but I wouldn’t have a problem with taking entries tomorrow still.

Finally got my first shot tonight. Am I the last swamper? Just booked my appointment for my first dose - May 24.
