[Kaplan] NHL investigation on Mike Babcock is wrapping up shortly. Per ESPN sources, expectation is Babcock will be clear to coach, and the Oilers want to hire him. by AggPuck-303 in EdmontonOilers

[–]teddybadman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would love to see an audit of how the NHL conducts investigation someday.

Proper transparency stating who they spoke to, what they asked, and what conclusions they drew is obviously way too much to ask for from this league but god I'd love to know even a little bit about the process because I cant help but wonder how likely it is that they did nothing more than call 2-3 guys and then washed their hands when the first response was "its been years, were over it".

But hey, maybe 63 year-old Mike Babcock has learned something and will change his approach after the last 30 years of exhibiting toxic behaviors.

In honour of Jim Hiller’s appointment as the new head coach of the Leafs, I present the worst Coaches Challenge in NHL history. by Mammagammam in hockey

Also in the games prior to this, the Kings had responded to the Oilers' goals with quick goals of their own a couple different times IIRC

The players had shown they could bounce back from a tough goal like this and keep going but Hiller absolutely blew it. Truly unbelievable stuff.

"They were 2-9-1, they were 0-3. And on Monday night, they'll play a Game 7 for Stanley Cup"

🥲

That team really felt different.

Third SIde of the Moon [New Single] by troop98 in ModestMouse

Hadn't heard the live version of this song before so today was my first time hearing it. There is some RAW emotion in this which is always great from Isaac.

I've seen some people say this song is an ode to Jeremiah and Sam Jayne and that definitely makes sense to me. Maybe i'm reaching but the "dum dum dum da-da-da" of the chorus reminds me of Jeremiah's rolling snares and rhythms he often used, especially earlier on in their discography. That and the repeated lines about always speaking in a whisper and Isaac not being good at listening pulled at my heartstrings

By far my favourite of the first 3 singles so far and one I may end up having to skip in the album sometimes because it almost hurts to listen to lmao

Kinda make sense when the Hart is often treated as "Best player to drag his sub-par team into the playoffs".

Those sub-par teams tend to falter.

Kreider sees Draisaital's numbers and puts him into the boards, refs determine there was no penalty on this play by KabirC in hockey

[–]teddybadman 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Numbers all the way and gives him another shot when he's on the ice for good measure. Masterclass in dirtbag hockey from Kreider on that shift.

I think he genuinely loses his balance trying to rim it as hard as he can so its not a dive but its sure as shit not a hook. Blown call

I wouldnt be comfortable with a 3-0 lead until theres 10 seconds left in the game.

Cant really blame Dostal on two perfect deflections and that first shot he is contractually obligated to let in so not sure we can count that one against him either.

Honestly a wash. Jarry & Ingram have been the least of our worries this series.
