helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

Fine, I’ll watch Stranger Things: the College Years

Found a very old bag of tarter tots in the freezer and we all know what that means: low effort tribute to poutine dinner

The Caps scored at such a pace last night that I couldn’t get to it, but during Tuesdays game I saw someone get a minor crushing and hobble around the ice for a while, which turned out to be Sourdif. He finished the game so I didn’t think a lot of it but it didn’t look good. Guess it was trouble

Normally I’d throw shade on Woodbridge because of neighborly disdain but I’m sure half of the federal government will be dragging the whole place by tonight so I’m not going to swing at this one out of DMV solidarity

Wasn’t sure what I was going to do for the gaming white elephant next week because it’s tough finding something that could appeal to folks new to ttrpgs in their 20s and also greybeards with 20+ years in the hobby but I think I have found the answer: chubby dragon that lights up

How did the Caps get in at 3am when traveling from LA to San Jose? Did they bike it?

Leonard and Roy

I don’t want to check the standings and then post about it but I do need it

6 + 9 of 10 is pretty nice

Caps with a convincing 6 goal margin on the second half of a B2B over a surprisingly good Sharks team so you know what kind of night it is

Engaging the new downstairs sativa vape because it’s late but the Caps and going full windmill tonight and I could use the help coming down enough to get to sleep at a reasonable hour

That company though

Carbery smelling the chance to do a challenge into a fail into a PPG against

It had to happen so I’m just glad it was Orlov, who was my jersey for the Cup run. Love you, Dima, mean it

Thought the Sharks had fully lost their minds and gone full Roy by pulling the goalie with 8+ minutes left while down 7-0, but it was just a delayed penalty

And Leonard converts the extra point. Multiple hat trick watches tonight, time to get my dancing shoes ready

Matt Roy, come on down to the goal column

Tim Kaine’s roll of shame grows one line longer

Mike Grier looms very large in the hall of former Caps greats for me. Hard to believe he only played 150 games with the club. No clue why I imprinted on him so hard but I sure did

Made some nuggets for a late post-gaming dinner, because a certain hockey team was too busy trying to set each other up for an ENG to actually score one and get me McNuggets, and I consulted my array of sauces like that sweet boy at the end of Eighth Grade setting up a McNugget date night

Hold on, that was Ovi’s 911st goal? He has 911 goals? 911? 9/11???

Are we on Ovi hat trick watch? I was splitting attention there for a bit but he scored the last one and I think he scored the first one too

What the fuck was that assist Pro? Oh man, who ever passes in that situation

Everybody gets a goal tonight now. Leonard keeps impressing

Sonny Milano doing what he does, score goals in very limited ice time

Off the radio and onto the tv for the Caps. And just like that Ovi scores. Nice to wait for me

I wonder if the Caps will corner Iorio in a hallway so they can sing “Miss You Much” in the same way they sing “We Want You, Baby” in the room when they play someone’s former team that they got traded or waived from. Probably he didn’t get fully incorporated into the cuddle puddle so maybe not

I acknowledge the games played disparity but when did the Caps get into a tie for first in the East? A week ago I was ready to eat glass because the power play was never going to score again

Catching up and saw this little gem. I’m not going to search anything up but this feels good. Might take an actual victory lap* today, pump my fist once or twice, maybe high five a dog if there’s one out walking that is amenable

Didn’t entirely make it through the game last night but that’s what the next morning is for

Don’t like that

Really want to watch at least the third period upstairs in the TV watching bed, but also I don’t want to wrestle with Monumental+

Seems like this Bet 365 promo about “if your team goes up by 3 then you win even if your team doesn’t” should run entirely in the greater Toronto metro area

I know it’s not the Darryl Sutter Kings but it’s still something when you outshoot the Kings 10-3 in a period when they’re the home team

Hot damn this third line is quick. You spend so long with an aging team that you forget what a rapid transition looks like

THE BEST GOAL SCORER NEVER SLEEPS.

Tom Wilson tap in to tap my balls lightly enough to keep me awake

I wouldn’t have such a problem with west coast games if they weren’t inevitably 1-0 games with 25 combined shots. At least entertain me if you’re going to keep me up late

8 minutes in and the teams have combined for one(1) shot on goal

100% chance I see how a stack of Eggos with some grated cheddar between the layers turns out tonight

this isn't play acting and tough guy beat poetry and instagram workout vids anymore. you're fucking killing people. by the dozens. and at bottom you're just an alcoholic TV host with a double digit IQ and a track record of abject failure. high up on that wire, killing people by the dozens

“What if a planet in a scifi game was equivalent to a hexflower in a fantasy game?”

It is finally time for Caps west coast hockey

2026: the year I internalize Mothership, stop cranking out broad module plans, and start cranking out finished projects?

You can not have a 10:30pm start time and have the audio be a trainwreck on the pregame show

This is disappointing

Not to panic or anything but 8 games is ~10% of the season, for an injury that seemed to come out of nowhere so much that I assumed it was the locker room bug at first

Adding “learn layout software” to “learn a system so you can design for it” on my big board of ttrpg goals. I want Pages to do this so bad but my repeated proddings have yet to yield results

Two challenges (one successful) with 5 minutes left in the first half. Talk of how you need a timeout to start a challenge and lose it if you’re wrong. I hate it
