Re: 2019-2020 NHL Season
I feel compelled to add that if there was no rift and Gallant still had the support of the players, then this move is inexcusable. They are three points out of first place. This is at best a parallel move as far as what to expect for final results. If this team is going to start behaving with the wo...

Re: 2019-2020 NHL Season
So you fire your coach because he's not getting the potential out of your Cup-worthy roster...and you hire DeBoer? A guy who hasn't even won a division with some very talented teams. Must have been a helluva rift in that VGK locker room.

Re: 2019-20 NBA Season
Kevin Love clearly is angling to get traded, but the contract Dan Gilbert gave him as a loyalty reward after Kyrie and LeBron left is going to make it hard for the Cavs to find any takers. He’s still a good rebounder and can shoot well for a big, but he’s not someone you want to pay $30M/year. Dism...

Gretzky used to cheat up-ice in his day. Removal of the two-line pass rule means he would have 200 goals (175 of which would be breakaways). Also the lack of hooking, holding, etc would result in even more chances.

I put 5-6 cups of chicken broth in bottom of the roaster to start and add baby carrots for the last 90 minutes of roasting. I make gravy with the broth so you get a side dish of flavorful carrots and the carrots add a nice subtle flavor to the gravy.

Re: NFL 2019 week 7 - aw fuck Mahomes?
Perfectly clean hit on Goff called RTP. Awful. I hate the League’s attempt to devolve the game into glorified flag football.
On a related note, Goff doesn’t get enough credit for his toughness. He’s taken big shots every game and pops up every time.

Did it not occur to anybody at MLB to test how this weekend's white uniforms would look on TV at least at night? From a distance they are unreadable which defeats the purpose. Also they have a strange gray/pinkish hue due to lights. I can't imagine they will be much better in the daytime.
