NO ONE KICKS LIKE GASTON SPLITS THE STICKS LIKE GASTON NO ONE'S LEGS AS INCREDIBLY THICK AS GASTON

“I just have concerns about fairness in sport”… okay and so let’s close every sport academy, ban travel sports below the age of 13, and ban paid coaches for youth sports if we’re all so concerned about “fairness”

Ah wah I was such a good little boy sitting through that rebuild and all I got was this guy who’s the best offensive player in my sad sack team’s 100 year history.

ALERT: The Goldeneye 64 pause song is the official end-of-period music at @pwhlgoldeneyes.bsky.social games

Every asshole that gets a coaching gig and they’ve got nothing beyond “we’re gonna be hard to play against” and then you look at their history and their success is inevitably a combination of; - inherited a good defence - goalie decided to stop 93% of shots - refs stopped calling penalties

You better use this as in-arena music somehow youtu.be/qoWCB8AUiP4

Don’t sign bottom six specialists to long term contracts.

Am I wrong in feeling the Jays didn’t really blow that, so much as the Dodgers just refused to be put away?

aaaaaaaaaaaa

This game is literally going to go back in time

Playoff hockey OT has the “snort cocaine riding a motorcycle out of a helicopter” quote, but playoff baseball extra innings is like playing Russian Roulette every fifteen seconds

@emilydawn.bsky.social I’ve been doing the dishes the last three innings in solidarity

Thoughts and prayers to Dave Roberts and his upcoming life-and-death challenge of being mildly inconvenienced by customs

Forget the Kendrick vs Drake angle, this is the first time a Toronto and LA team have met in the playoffs since 1993. Somebody get Vladdy a Gilmour jersey.

Not much of a baseball guy but coming in to strike out the side to clinch the series is an absolute badass thing to do.

Mitch Marner Ewing Theory confirmed

Domi got walked by Wright twice within about ten seconds

Bobby McMann not being broken anymore is extremely helpful for depth.

The Mikkola thing is legitimately the most embarrassing thing to happen from an officiating perspective in a long time.

“We waived the all-defence guy in his 30s we gave a 4 year $10MM contract, so that when he’s healthy our 4C can be this other guy in his 30s that we gave up a 1st rounder and one of our only five prospects” The Leafs are so back.

Doug Ford managed the pandemic by only listening to the narcissist crybabies that complained the most so of course he’d manage literally everything else (return to office, public safety) the same way

every married couple includes one person,who when sick, drugs themselves into a coma and another that will sit there snuffling and coughing for 20 hours before taking a single advil cold and sinus

Seems to me that there’s not a lot of incentive for political figures to clean up their act if your entire career is gonna get whitewashed for you the moment you die.

Monster kills Dr. Frankenstein, Right-Wing Media turns its ire on villagers that objected to the Monster’s existence in the first place.

American politics is the Monday Night Wars circa 1995. Everything sucks, there are two choices and they are both garbage, and the system is controlled by legacy hacks from a bygone era.

I work in an industry that would absolutely be viewed as essential. Most of our staff is unionized. We’ve been through three or four union negotiations in my time there and had there been a strike the workers absolutely would have been forced back to work. We have had zero labour stoppages.

In a universe where throwing a sandwich is a felony, is bringing a lunch to work considered concealed carry?

Mark Cuban is the first billionaire to crash out on Bluesky, so congrats on that innovation I guess.

Cast iron top sirloin, caramelized onion, sautéed mushroom, zucchini and mashed potato.

Re-sign is to sign a new contract. Resign is to quit your job. Professional athletes re-sign with their team, not resign.

Took the kid golfing today and he seems to enjoy it, which has the bonus of increasing the frequency with which I can go golfing by like 300%

It’s usually just a saying but he’s so old and hateful he could literally die mad about it.

Hockey Bluesky is definitely getting the old Hockey Twitter because I’m starting to get the “if you watch the games…” replies. The dream of 2014 hockey is alive and well

The thing about forwards making in the $3-4MM range is that they’re usually a lot closer to being replaced by a guy making $1MM than they are to replacing somebody making $6MM

Not to dog pile but if this was a Nick Robertson quote, all of the people who cape for the Ryan Reaves of the NHL would be apoplectic. Hockey culture is the APPEARANCE of toughness but at their core they are insecure toddlers.

Going Hard Mode by not including any fighters because there’s some fighters that are way too self-important about the least important part of hockey. And Tie Domi was #1 with a bullet. David Clarkson - Dave Bolland - Jeff O’Neill Aki Berg - Jyrki Lumme Vesa Toskala

"well they don't do the Millennial pause when recording video" tell me what Save As does. tell me where it's saving. where is it saving, Jaccobb

Marner is the poster boy for the recruitment-based GTHL model (derogatory)

they should still egregiously cap dump domi and kampf though
