    Perhaps they should try focusing on scoring more goals.

    Good article for anyone with a sub to The Athletic. Lots of quotes about drug use becoming more of a “culture” in the NHL.

    Another absolutely dominating performance by the pens. Gave them a 3 goal lead again, but actually, finally, get the win.

    Out shooting opponents 135 to 77!

    *Penguins tv crew talking about galchenyuk*

    Guy 1:...one of his two career hat tricks.
    Guy 2: He's a shooter!

    *Misses more games in one season than Kessel did in his penguin career*

    "He's trending in the right direction"

    *Has less than 20 goals in last three seasons versus Kessel last not having at least 23 goals in 2008*

    Love the media trying to talk themselves into that Kessel trade being good. Like we already had the shooter. We traded him for the "locker room guy" and cap savings.

    Edit: also after galchenyuk got moved off the Malkin line in the third, the line scored all 3 goals, and also the overtime game winner

    The boards say Meijer, so it's Michigan. The Jersey on the goalie says Adrian, so it's...high school hockey?

    That is Adrian College's intrasquad game.

    Someone on the ice crew at the Regina Pats game drilled down a bit too far while putting in space for the goal posts.





    Also a pretty good meme background for photoshoping a goalie shitting the bed

    As someone who does Arena Refrigeration, oooohhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiii.....

    Also, the amount of force required to drill through the concrete and the steel tube, one would have to have thought, “gee, I wonder if I should stop”

    What does this turd have to do to finally get fired?


    Sportsnet tepid response was like "we spoke to Don and totally told him how serious this was. So all good right?"

    At this point? Probably die. And even then they might just stick a pair of sunglasses on him and run the segment Weekend at Bernie’s style.

    Yeah, not sure why he deleted his tweet. It was just Ken Campbell saying a source at CBC told him cherry was fired.

    Good riddance.

    And while I appreciate his apology, time to move on from Ron MacLean as well.

    I wonder if the Kidney Foundation will drop him too, would be mighty nice to not have to design his gaudy jersey this year (though organ donation is good).

    I'm shocked they finally fired him. Not because I don't think he should have been fired. He should have been off TV 10 years ago. He's actually said far worse on national TV and nothing has ever come of it. I guess this was finally just one too many times.

    https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2019/11/11/broadcast-council-says-it-cant-take-any-more-don-cherry-complaints-after-system-overwhelmed.html

    Canada’s broadcast standards organization will no longer be taking complaints about hockey commentator Don Cherry’s controversial comments on immigrants and Remembrance Day after its online system was flooded over the weekend.

    In a statement posted online, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) wrote that they received “a large number of very similar complaints,” which exceeded “the CBSC’s technical processing capacities.”

    They added that, “accordingly, while the CBSC will be dealing with this broadcast under its normal process, it is not able to accept any further complaints.”

    According to Budweiser PR on Twitter, Budweiser, a major sponser of coaches corner, also told CBC it was time for him to go.

    And cherry told the Toronto sun today that "I know what I said, and I meant it"

    Man, cherry should have been shit canned years ago. He’s been a known xenophobe for decades. MacLean should be gone too. He’s known exactly what he’s been enabling and participating in.

    Shit, bring back Strombo.

    Wick is great, but she’s already juggling working for the Leafs and going to med school.

    Cassie Campbell has already been part of HNiC. I also like the suggestion of Daniele Sauvageau, who was coach of the women’s team that won gold in 2002, and has experience with the French-language version of HNiC. In her case you could even still call it “Coach’s Corner” and can think of few things that would infuriate Cherry more than being replaced by a Quebecois woman.

    Avs Stadium Series jerseys have apparently leaked.

    I get what they were going for, but that mountain/logo feels way too high. Lots of empty space in the bottom half of the jersey.

    It looks like they cut a jersey in half and are wearing the top half over a long sleeve shirt.

    While scrolling past it quickly on Twitter, I thought it was someone wearing a jersey sideways.

    Like, the sleeve hole for the arm coming directly at the camera
