Let's call this policy what this is.
It's socialism. It's Leftism. And it's curing actual ills. Righting institutional wrongs.
It's not coming from someone who is infallible, or someone who is always correct.
It's coming from someone who promised to help and is trying to keep those promises.

That’s the thing I would like to see bred out of the Penguins’ DNA. “Getting the horses to drink”. They want to play and win a certain way regardless of age or roster limitations or they’ll die trying. I guess that’s what 5 Cups gets you.
yiiiikes
The Flyers have successfully ripped the offense out of the series against the Penguins. Also, some numbers comparing these two games to past Penguins playoff games in the Sidney Crosby era. www.pensburgh.com/analysis/759...
Screenshot of a tweet by No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen (@NoLieWithBTC) reporting that Trump warned Virginians that voting yes on a redistricting referendum would cost him power, quoting Trump saying "If the Democrats get additional seats, they're going to be making changes at the federal level." The post includes a split image of the Virginia state seal and a close-up photo of Trump with a stern expression.
Sounds like a great reason to vote YES, Virginia! We're counting on you today.
when Musk bought Twitter I mentioned repeatedly that a BIG part of it was right wing information warfare
and I got a lot of odd, cocksure replies about how I was "overthinking it," "it's not 4D chess," "he's not that smart" "he tried to back out, so how could it be true," etc.
weird shit

You and Stu deserved better
Swapping 59 and 67 in the second was a needed change, and maybe a little overdue, but starting the playoffs they way they did wasn't as insane as the 0-2 hole is leading some of you to think. From @taylorhaasepgh.bsky.social:
This is probably the biggest surprise through 2 games. Coming in, the power play appeared to be a big edge for the #LetsGoPens but so far it's been a huge liability.
(Peter Gibbons voice): "I wouldn't say I enjoyed them, Bob."
I felt the same way after Game 1. Harder to maintain that after a second showing like that, but here's hoping.
He went to those combos a couple weeks before the season ended I think, and they looked nothing like this. Agree the switch back was overdue though.
He made the game closer than it really was, inspiring false confidence.
The flyers are playing great. Flawless defensively. Not only a well earned two wins, they dictated everything and took them. Penguins have zero answer for any of it. And that's a Penguins problem. The power play alone is enough to skewer them. No excuse for that group.
Well, at least Girard-Letang turned their play around. Not that it would've taken much given how bad they were in Game 1. #LetsGoPens

I don't think even people who had the Flyers pulling an upset this round saw the first two game going like this, with the #LetsGoPens offense all but non-existent and their power play becoming a huge liability.
Looking more and more like the three games at the end of the regular season weren't as meaningless as I thought, because the #LetsGoPens look like they forgot how to play. Lousy puck management, next-to-no support, can't string passes together or sustain much offense.
Love it when the hit of the game is an uncalled boarding penalty. #LetsGoPens
I get this is a small sample, but also, come on.
Where is the Erik Karlsson that was one of the best players in the entire league the last month or so? #LetsGoPens
Seems less than ideal. #LetsGoPens
Skinner deserves so much better from his teammates. Holy hell. #LetsGoPens
Sid, I know you've forgotten more about hockey than I'll ever know, but skate the &%#! away from them. #LetsGoPens
Keep it up. Make him work. #LetsGoPens
I swear the was a reviewer process at one point that didn't allow for a complete washout of the penalty, but it appears the high-stick review isn't that way. From the rule book:
