You can't just say "perchance"!

You do understand that's already how things work, right? It's just the bureaucrats' bosses that are getting paid. That's literally what lobbying is.

Yeah I think they should still do them, just be penalized for letting the game run that long. Or heck, if a tie counts as a loss for everybody, you can just go home after 5 mins of 3v3 didn't resolve it.

Of course for the playoffs they'd need to keep the current system of "no sleep 'till win".

Thinking about this a little more, can we also make the shootout go away, or make games that go to the shootout not count for anything but a loss for both sides?

I like it. Ties in regulation mean next to nothing and actively hurt your standings. Nobody will turtle and hope to win 3v3, that's as bad for your record as losing.

Harley QBing the first unit when?

10/10 shade, would read again. 🤣

Are those dogs or pull-apart cinnamon rolls? Might need to nibble one to find out.

Now if he can just avoid a tragic break-up or whatever led to his previous haircuts, we’ll be golden.

Dallas fans *hate* when he says anything good about our team.

I feel like "you said our team is good and I hate you" is pretty out there.

I feel like neither of you fully understand the Glaswegian Drunken Punk movement. In this TED talk I will...

(tell me Little Dialects of Ire doesn't sound like a bunch of boozed-up Scotsmen on stage)

He was one of them. Dude was media personality. If he can catch a bullet for the words he said, what to say they can't too?

I don't think it's a conspiracy, I think it's simple human fear. Just like rich folks felt when Luigi did his thing.

Coach: "Alex, just stay on the offensive blue line. You're not helping back there anyway, just park and wait for the puck." 🤣

Preach!

It may be time to invest in a cane, so you have something to shake at kids and clouds. 😆

Are you not trying to correct the mistakes your parents made?

The fact that we're asking teenagers (and sometimes preteens!) to make long-term life decisions means we've lost the plot somewhere. Teenagers should not have that responsibility with not-fully-developed brains.

God that's depressing. I went into college *knowing* I wanted to be a high school English teacher. I finished my first semester *knowing* I did not want to be a high school English teacher.

I can't imagine how much worse that would have been if I had spent years skipping other avenues.

I'm thinking of teams with really fast players like Roope Hintz who has to decide whether to turn and take off or stick back closer to the play. I imagine part of that decision is who got the puck. If it's somebody that can hit him on the fly, he goes. If not, he hangs back.

Looking at this got me thinking--is there a reason why these are half-rink charts and not full-rink charts? It seems like there might be some really interesting stuff looking at how defensive players impact the offensive zone (causing breakaways) or vice-versa (forward causes turnovers).

It's so fun watching y'all mansplain to each other instead of trusting that scientists know what they're talking about.

It's like watching toddlers having a boxing match.

Who? 😩

Hmm, I wonder if Jim Lites and Sam Lites are related.

Dear Dallas, please hurry up and punch your ticket so we can have a few weeks of non-stress.

Love,
Your Fans

Love it. That's a fantastic subtle statement piece.

100% accurate.

LOL, they said "election".

OK so it's a Big Frank. We'll allow it.

Me: West and...central TX?

Yup, sky in DFW is currently brown
