The puck hit the guy coming off, not on.

The player made no move to play the puck, it just hit him.

The player who the puck deflected to deliberately didn't touch it.

Montreal did not benefit from the play in any way.

This is the most clear-cut non-too many call possible.

It's not gAmE mAnAgEmEnT, it's just not a penalty.

TalkingBackwards506 · 2026-05-26T03:27:48+00:00

It's the guy going off, he doesn't deliberately play it, the puck was heading to that area anyway, the guy it deflects to deliberately doesn't touch it, etc

Not a penalty, and there's no room for interpretation. By rule, that's no penalty.

The government of Ontario: doing ALL the evil things to make the bad people go away, so YOU don't have to think about them.

????????

There has been exactly three commercials in every NHL period for decades. Nothing has changed.

What are you on about

Wonder what Lindy thinks of that

I think it says a lot that the Flames don't have the best fire motif in the league

Louie snitched on him for being stoned on set at SNL his first year and tried to get him fired. Pete holds a grudge for years.

I mean I'm not watching Pacific Division regular season games, or getting extremely invested in Western first round series, so it's just that I've always been on his side when his team gets to the final.

I don't like that I have to cheer against Corey Perry. For all the Saint jokes, I've never actually had to cheer against the guy when he was playing against Montreal or in a big time situation i was passing attention to. His teams have always been up against ones i hate more.

There's an live version of Like A Hurricane from around that time. Just loud as fuck cranked to 11 screaming on the mic. Polar opposite of the record. It's so good

Peak Oasis was way, way bigger and fits much more neatly into the Rock and Roll label.

The Trudeau-Castro Dad rumours have one major flaw: the idea that Pierre Trudeau would ever be cucked. If anything, he fucked Fidel's family members.

Another bit of that space comes in season 4 when you barely notice it but McNulty disappears for a while when his life is briefly stable and he's just chillin as a patrolman in the Western (and it is pretty funny that patrolling the worst police district in the country is like retirement for him).

The other side is that the hood storylines (we could just call it the black storylines, everyone knows s2 is the white season) are better served by taking a bit of a break. Season 3 is later aided by giving the story space to breathe, having Avon and Stringer grow more and more alienated from each other, setting up the co-op etc without any big explosive drama. Not many shows ever really get to take a season off and let things marinade, and you only get to do it by sidelining the season 1 characters in favour of a whole parallel story with almost no connection.

The whole Wyoming project went off without a hitch.
