Marie-Philip Poulin looks emotional as the starting lineups are read. Captain Clutch joked yesterday she’d likely get a bit misty pre-game because she’s “getting old.” Also said these games are a privilege. #pwhl

“I think I’m getting old and maybe getting a little softer. It’s always such a privilege to be in these big crowds. I don’t take it for granted — I think they’re the best moments.”
My local 7-Eleven locks just about everything up now. It started with just drinks and has now expanded to the candy aisles.

The NBA doesn't have a 3 pt shot problem.
3's have skyrocketed this yr because it's the most protected shot.
