A black and tan dog is sniffing an "I voted in Alexandria" sticker

yo, virginia! get out and vote YES today!

and if you're in alexandria, vote for @sandymarks.bsky.social for city council!

Fuck off with that.

This is a meteor series but I feel like the funnier outcome is the Flyers winning.

Handing them power plays repeatedly seems like a bad idea.

Work from home helped this. Can't have that.

Or freestyle some beat poetry.

They couldn't afford him when they dealt him away. He's still serviceable I think. And with their window he makes sense.

The only time this is ok is if it is a great goalie who is a rival and/or a complete asshole.

Think I might do a playoff team fan bracket. Buffalo fans singsonging the opposing goalie before they even give up a goal is dumb AF.

No.

Avs need to just get it to the point and throw it through a double screen. That would be more effective than whatever they are doing now.

This Avs crowd knows when to get excited.

Go get em!

I don't watch other NHL teams all that often but some of the fan behavior with these teams is very odd. Fans getting excited for weak unscreened long range shots that I could stop. On the flip side fans getting excited when their goalie makes a routine save. I mean do whatever you want but ...

They are saying Ste... wait they are booing because he has been bad in the playoffs.

These jerseys are a crime against humanity.

Fuck Ehlers forever. #ALLCAPS

bad enough i have to watch the carolina hurricanes but i have to listen to fucking buccigross call the game too? christ.

As the puck gets ready to drop on the NHL playoffs for 2026 just remember that my team eliminated itself so I'm rooting against yours. There's a chance I'm rooting harder against your opponent though.

Most intriguing matchup in Stars vs. Wild? It just might be Robertson vs. Guerin (Gift Article) Robertson was passed over by Guerin for the U.S. Olympic team en route to a career year and now gets a chance to knock off Guerin's Wild.

Too slow. Too soft. Too one-dimensional. That was the perception of Jason Robertson. That's why he didn't make Team USA. That's why his star had faded.

45 goals and 96 points later...

"The perception definitely is off.”

moneypuck chart showing G% and xG%for all Caps defensemen. xG% Ranking is Chychrun, Hutson, Mac, Sandy, TVR, Roy, Marty, Chisholm, and Liljegren.

Just to add some additional data here is part of the @moneypuck.bsky.social chart for our defensemen this year:

He was -3.9 at the end of last year FWIW.

The other thing from this is it doesn't really take into account deployments. Chisolm got that 0.0 from very easy deployments.

Could be the effects from playing with Chych the last part of the year.

So based on sG from @hockeyviz.com Caps D sorted like this:

Chych 11.7
TVR 5.5
Sandin 3.4
Chisolm 0.0
Roy -0.7
Liljgren -0.7
Hutson -1.7
Mac -7.4

Remember 0 is 2nd pair. I would have guessed Hutson was higher and Roy but at least for Hutson that is a small sample size. Also TVR 👀!

#ALLCAPS

hockeyviz chart showing TVR to have been quite good this year at +5.5 sG

hockeyviz chart showing Liljegren being a basic 2nd pair defender at -.7

I was certain Liljgren was better than TVR but then I saw this:

It's likely complete hopium.

BUF in 6
MTL in 7
