Almost always hate pulling the goalie down one with 1:30 to go

ESPN broadcast showed the players on the ice approximately ONCE during the national anthems

In case you're out of the loop, X Games is no longer a series of one-off events but an action sports league (summer and winter). The 40 athletes on the four summer teams will be decided by the first-ever X Games draft tonight at Cosm in LA! Here's how it will all work: www.forbes.com/sites/michel...
Just out @propublica.org: How did the Pentagon make the horrible mistake that left more than 150 school children dead? Perhaps because it cancelled an effort to limit such harm in favor of Hegseth’s lust for “lethality.”

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Who won the United States' first gold medal of the 2026 Winter Paralympics? Who else but Oksana Masters, the most dominant Winter Paralympian of all time www.forbes.com/sites/michel...
Sorry, I should say struggling to get out of bed in the morning. I am waking up at 5:30 every day 🤣
I’m still struggling to wake up in the morning from Italy jet lag and meanwhile the Olympic snowboarders are gearing up to compete in Snow League finals in Aspen today. Just built different
Thanks, I will!
And, as someone who has to read information to absorb it (and *reads along with the transcript* if I ever listen to a podcast), I’d never want to make anything I have to say less accessible to people who learn the same way I do
fun bit of history: Connor Hellebuyck is the first goalie in the history of the Olympics to make 40+ saves in a game and get an assist in a game. (assisted on Hughes GWG with Werenski)
Sorry, was in no way trying to excuse their behavior. Just noting a gross, engrained part of the culture that will take a very long time to change
To the player who said “Absolutely!” and the one who chanted “2 for 2”—please rub off on your friends.
(I do think some of the cheering in response to what Trump said was meant to be in support of the women’s team. But those other cackling laughs must be heartbreaking for the women’s team to hear.)
YES exactly
This was the thing that stood out when reading about the Blackhawks covering up sexual assault. No one wanted to rock the boat, with them thinking that talking about the sexual assault was the boatrocking, not the assault itself. It's so bad.
Re: Trump telling the men’s team that he’s going to “have to” also invite the women’s team, and the men laughing—one of the most toxic aspects of hockey culture is that it is unfailingly “polite.” They are raised to listen to their elders, not to push back even when they know something is wrong
big shoutout though to the one guy on the US hockey team who starts chanting 2-FOR-2! 2-FOR-2! when Trump brings up the women's team while pretty much everybody else laughs, he gets a pass
in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal
must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you
thank you friend! 🥹
Paralympics start March 6 😅
I’m taking ownership over the “the Tkachuks never closed their door for two weeks” anecdote from my question 😆
exactly right!
The Olympics are done! I’ve written 37 articles this month! I am SLEEPING FOREVER

*Stares in Hellebuyck*
Reporters were certainly trying to get Sullivan to give a quote saying just that. It just may be
