Imagine being 21 and getting you ass kicked by somebody 15% younger and pressing charges versus just crying yourself to sleep like an adult

Bruins were up 5-1 yesterday and Habs were down 0-2 today and both got a point. I’ll take it.

I have a proposition for you, Minneapolis. You’ve been through a lot. We don’t want to cause additional angst. How about we both just sit on this tie then turn on the jets in OT and see who gets the extra point? Just seems kind and we need more kindness in this world.

MSL probably best coach in NHL. I hope he coaches us as long as Pittsburgh Steelers coach that team.

What I’m really trying to say is this game is going to be decided in OT or SO since it’s the worst outcome. Which makes me a pragmatic pessimist.

Above all else - his madness, his narcissism, his sociopathy, his genetic makeup and his orange makeup, his utter shamelessness and kleptocracy - what is most shocking about Trump is how stupid he is
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

If offered $100 to go to this game or $200 to go see the Melania movie and had to choose one I would kill myself.

If the NHL were to offer me free flights to Tampa, free hotel, and tickets for this game, I would only go if it was 1) 3+ nights, 2) I could miss work and had nothing better to do, 3) I could bring at least 3 other ppl, and 4) I was not required to go to this boring stunt of a game.

If you’re a Habs fan, the team you’re rooting for tonight between TB and Boston is an indicator of whether you’re an optimist or a pessimist… albeit contaminated in my case by my loathing of the Bruins

Hasn’t been above freezing in a week in Boston - day or night - and won’t be for another week. This almost never happens here. Would have been great day for a hockey game and related ice conditions but who could have known it might be hot in Tampa.

There are a lot of disadvantages from aging... but one advantage is that, if you're thoughtful, you see patterns. And if you're trusted, you can impart wisdom. But we’ve lost that because we have a great disdain for our elders right now… and thus don’t have guides to trust like when I was 30 (1/n)
