If Gordon Bombay walks into your office and says "This is our lineup," you tell him he doesn't get to be in charge of picking players anymore.

For as much as we've talked about it, we still really, truly haven't talked enough about how unfathomably insane it was for Goldberg to have been starting over Julie "The Cat" Gaffney for Team USA in D2: The Mighty Ducks.

"WAY TO GO, PAUL."

Okay... I think this one's gonna stick. What an insane pair of overtimes.

LEHKONEN! 1-0. #GoAvsGo

All's well that ends well.

This leading to a goal going the other way would be frustrating, though.

I get the challenge, but I think they'll probably keep the call on the ice.

A few of those could've been goals. Only a matter of time.

And I guess that's why they call them the Blues.

Bo Mi Re Shin’s corner accidentally put ice on her — and then Alycia Baumgardner put her on ice. My column:

Great round.

To be clear, she rules and I would walk backwards into hell for her.

Exactly one year ago today:

Imagine if *this* had been the part it went out for.

Oh, okay.

What?

Follow-up question: What?

I was curious if they’d still do it after seeing all the consensus #1 talk about Awa Fam, but they went and did the thing!

I’d be fascinated to hear what the in-house debates sounded like.

Honestly, I’m kind of amazed that I made it all the way to today before learning that Jerome Bettis was originally drafted by and played for the Rams.

“You have such a great vocabulary.”

Wordle taking a more ChatGPT-style “That’s so true, king” approach to wrong answers.

Oh, behave.

NASA streaming all the Artemis II stuff on Twitch was a great example of how to meet people where they're at. Also made me realize how much I miss the monoculture of the 90s.

Speaking of formative 90s experiences, this episode is responsible for like 70% of my sum knowledge of Johnny U.
