no one's scoring over there in the beautiful state of pennsylvania, but the important thing is that everyone on the ice really fucking seems to hate each other now. what matters is the enemies we made along the way.

the way everyone in this game is going in and out of the penalty box suggests to me that the carceral system is not effective.

disgusted by the philadelphia flyers signing a teenage rookie straight out of college 3 weeks ago and he's already killing it in the playoffs. shouldn't be allowed. obviously would be fine if the guy was on my team tho.

Out now on Overinvested: BATTLE ROYALE!

IMO you can absolutely enjoy this ep without watching the film. We spend a lot of time discussing Battle Royale's creative backstory, its controversial reception, and its potential influence on things like The Hunger Games and Squid Game.

they've only told us three times during this game that elmer soderblum is 6'8". he needs to score a goal or get into a big fight so they can mention it again. what if we forget!

sure, crosby knocked off drysdale's helmet. but have you considered that maybe he just wanted everyone to see the guy's beautiful hair... surely this good turn does not deserve a penalty...

They’ve been holding these charity events for 40 years and yet they still haven’t found a cure for wrestlemania. I’m starting to think the whole thing is a scam

swear to god the new Mummy movie stars a clone of chris pratt, playing a chris pratt role, and primarily emoting by widening his eyes to express shock... like chris pratt.

It's not just Crosby: Remembering 6 NHL legends whose careers ended with playoff droughts

wn

POKERTAR

By Sean McIndoe

Nov. 20. 2024

Sidney Crosby is bumming me out these days.

Not because he's playing poorly. Quite the opposite - even at 37, he's still scoring and playing a strong two-way game. No, the sad part is that it's not anywhere near enough for the Pittsburgh Penguins. With a sub-.500 record in a surprisingly tough division, their season already looks like a lost cause.

I once had a himbo roommate who made protein shakes by pureeing cooked chicken breast 3-4x a day. I'd find him sauteeing chicken in the middle of the night. I wonder how he's doing now
