sweep the leg

How did Giordano not get a penalty for that crosscheck on Lowry? That was brutal.

Anthony Pettis now stepping up to fight Khabib. That will be an ugly one-sided beating, if it actually happens. Khabib still has to make weight...

Connor McGregor showed up at media day today and threw a chair through the window of a bus carrying Khabib and a few other fighters. This was supposedly b/c of an altercation between Lobov & Khabib yesterday. I'm honestly concerned that McGregor is starting to go crazy. https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/4/5/17203162/conor-mcgregor-crew-allegedly-cause-chaotic-scene-after-ufc-223-media-day

Kyrie Wilson should be in the mix.

I like ditching the "force out" rule. Imo it's a good defensive play to push a guy out of bounds before he can get a foot down.

Seems like Montreal must be coming in low too if he's still not signed.

A great name and an amazing hit in his youtube video.

Good grief man. You only have to go back to the last Liberal gov't to see how this is wrong.

Mulroney added over $300B to the national debt. Chretien and Martin did a good job cleaning up his mess and have a better fiscal record than anybody in recent history.

Agreed. The far right members in the Conservative party really hurt them.

I consider the Liberals more centrist than left, although the current gov't has moved them further left than they were under Chretien/Martin.

I loved Stu, so it's high praise coming from me. Guy played a lot of hard minutes over 12 seasons. I'll take a guy like that on my team anytime.

I love Chiarot's physical game. He's a more talented Stu.

Good effort, given everything the Jets had going against them. I love the way we forecheck. So much speed...

Based on Walters' prior comments about having to make other moves if Muamba is signed , that cap space isn't currently unused.

There aren't many...Bossy, Hull, Ovie, maybe Stamkos. Not sure who else.

He's like a bigger Brett Hull.

https://www.si.com/vault/1997/04/14/8113107/no-regrets-mario-lemieux-has-decided-to-end-his-brilliant-nhl-career-and-for-himbut-not-for-the-penguinshis-retirement-is-coming-not-a-moment-too-soon "With fewer penalties being called, scoring is down league wide this season, and shutouts are up. The number of power-play goals has dropped 26% since last season, from 1.81 per game to 1.34. "Goaltenders are certainly better than in the past," Lemieux says. "The coaching is better too. Now even bad teams have [defensive] systems. If the refereeing was different, the systems would still work, but not as well. In basketball, teams that don't have talent don't win. Hockey is different. The NHL allows lesser players to get away with things. It's a good time for me to get away, because if the league expands again, the problem will just get worse. There will be more and more unskilled players." And one less magically skilled player. When Lemieux is asked if he would reconsider retirement if the NHL assured him that next season the refs would enforce the rules as written, he shakes his head and smiles ruefully. "They've fooled me once," he says. "They're not going to fool me twice."

Is he really playing at a discount price? Who offered him more? BC certainly wasn't willing to pay what we did.

Ngannou is the only one of the three you mentioned that I think he has a chance against. The other two guys can wrestle and are still very good strikers. Ngannou has the most power of the three, but is also the least technical and can't wrestle.

This is true. First couple seasons I could sell my season tickets at walk-up price. That doesn't fly anymore.

It would have to be a pretty crazy salary for it to blow up the nucleus of the team.

Gretzky was at 41 goals in game 37 the year he got 50 goals in 39 games. It's too bad we don't have that level of scoring in today's game. I think most of the scoring records are out of reach, unless something drastic happens in the game.

Serious question; have you seen any articles that called this trip a success? Anything I've seen has called the trip a disaster. Trudeau made me think of Michael in Arrested Development when he posed for pictures using the namaste hand gesture.

On a positive note, the first pp unit looks scary good. I also liked how physical Chiarot played. Imo that's what he needs to do to be effective when he's in the lineup.
