2023 NHL Playoffs Thread
Only the third series ever to be a sweep with all four games won by a single goal. Habs-Sabres in 1993 (3OT games, all 4-3 score) and Anaheim-Detroit in 2003 (with a double OT and an OT game). Jets-Oilers was tight too, with three OT wins (one in triple OT) and the Jets win 4-1 but with 2 empty netters in that one.

Actually that is the most likely scenario, him or Wolitarsky if we have a “Nationalized American” declared elsewhere that allows us the ration flexibility. But I’d say Bailey is the first to sit of the receiving corps if Agudosi just shows too much to sit.- 2023 NHL Playoffs Thread

Not sure. That would be a question for Pallister.- Manitoba Politics
Just to be clear, she was absent during a lot of that time due to a long-term personal medical issue that was not much reported in the media. Not saying this excuses every poor decision she has or has not made, but the “ducking the job” narrative is not completely fair.- Bombers Rookie Camp/Training Camp/Pre-Season Thread

I envision an expansion plan to 36 eventually. Quebec City would actually make sense as a relocation for Arizona since the league wants the big expansion dollars and Houston, Atlanta, Kansas City and maybe Salt Lake City would have more well-heeled owners in bigger media markets. 6 divisions of 6 teams each, top 2 in each division and 4 wild card per conference makes 20 teams in the playoffs. First round is best of 3 play-in with the wild card teams, then 1-8 ranked match-ups from there, best of 7. 82 game schedule, 2 games against every non-divisional opponent (60 total), 4 or 5 against divisional opponents (22 games total). Just spitballing here.- Bombers Rookie Camp/Training Camp/Pre-Season Thread
The issue is that OSH gets a pass on the site, yet there was bellyaching about the lack of news from reporters, who are shut out by O’Shea’s cone of silence just the same.- The RIP 2023 Thread

I never saw the two-handed slash delivered to Dreisaitl (out of country so video highlights harder to come by), but this is too funny not to share even if out of context.- Bombers Rookie Camp/Training Camp/Pre-Season Thread
Winning covers up a fair amount of character imperfections (not that OSH has any - he was cool, calm and collected before 2019 even though some called for his head back then). Luckily Wade was patient and we reaped the benefits.- Bombers Rookie Camp/Training Camp/Pre-Season Thread
Anyone else wondering if the Bombers would ever consider running a six-pack receiving set any time this year? And who among Wolitarsky, Bailey, Agudosi, BOLO. Grant, or even McCrae, Augustine, or Oliviera would still not get in the last 3 spots in the top 6 formation?- Manitoba Politics

Just a hunch, but Tucker threatening to expose FOX is not the flex he thinks it is. I would be surprised if he had more dirt on them than they have on him, and they would go scorched earth on him pretty quickly if he wanted to air dirty laundry.- Bombers Rookie Camp/Training Camp/Pre-Season Thread
MAC (or MIKE) is a middle linebacker whose current iteration is a forever Bomber hero. MACK is a middling (at best) GM whose last iteration is a forever Bomber cancer. Please don’t mix the spelling up, seeing the wrong version gives me heart palpitations.- Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season
The problem with the “Liegghio did not cost us because he is not responsible for the blocked kick” it that it creates a misleading narrative by conveniently forgetting his missed convert. Unless the snap was fumbled on that kick (and it wasn’t), that PAT miss is on him. One point lost there. We lost the game by one point. So to wash that away and focus only on the block feels as disingenuous an argument for his defenders as blaming him for the blocked FG is for his detractors. He missed more PATs than any other kicker all season long (and also the previous year) so THAT was the concern going into the Grey Cup, and lo and behold when the chips were down he missed again (like he did twice the week before in the West Final, which cost us a net 4 points). It is a 32 yard kick, which for today’s kicker should be close to automatic, maybe one or two misses a year over the course of 50 kicks. THAT should be the discussion about his fault or not in losing the game. Not the block which seems like a red herring in trying to defend him.- Winnipeg Ice
If Kamloops wins the series against Seattle, the Ice automatically qualify for the Memorial Cup.- US Politics
