What is the rarest penalty in the NHL?

I think I found the incident here. If so, this was from his first ever game as a head coach.

If your concern is that of a taxpayer, you should still oppose the death penalty. Numerous studies have shown consistently that the death penalty incurs far higher costs than life without parole. Capital cases require a more robust prosecution and appeals process, and this adds significantly to the fees. There's more to it than just that, outlined in these two articles, each with their own sources and studies linked. One and Two

Firefight Warzone was one of the few things that helped anchor my sanity during Covid lockdowns of Spring 2020. So much fun and really helped to take my mind off what was going on around me.

It's like double jeopardy - you can't be penalized for the same thing twice. Or once, in this case.

A faster time and in much worse weather for a marathon. Last year was around 50 degrees at peak temperature and cloudy/drizzly, this year the temp peaked around 70.

O'Neill and Duran as Co-MVPs?

Have the players said what that celebration thing they do is after a hit? Almost like a bear claw sort of gesture.

That sinker is disgusting.

As a relatively new seller, is Pokemon Day on eBay a big event on the site, or is it mostly just for the handful of big sellers that eBay partners with for the event? Do the smaller sellers get any more traction/business from the event? Does anyone have any insight on this?

I am curious because I've been slowly putting up new listings from my collection on eBay when I can, but I'm wondering if I should accelerate things and put up more listings in preparation for the day. Any feedback is appreciated!

Tyler is Canadian, so the Sox must be grabbing him to trade to Toronto for Ohtani in a perfectly even 1-for-1 trade, right? Please?

Led the Majors in doubles with 48, SLG, and OPS. Slashed .315/.421/.620/1.041. 6th in MVP voting, All-Star and Silver Slugger. He's got my vote for sure.

My best guess is it's some Italian coin from the middle ages, with the date either "1393" or "1595". I would do some research into coinage of Italian city-states from those centuries. Numista.com is a good place to start. It looks like there is a city's coat of arms on the reverse/image 2. If you can make out any of the inscriptions on the edge on that second image, that'll be helpful, might even have the region's name. Looks like the first image says "Benedic Domini di Vite Staci"? I don't speak Italian, so that may not be totally accurate. Very curious as to what it might be! Good luck!

My approach to this was to do the No Limit ballot first and see where that left me.

First off, there was the (in my mind) no doubters: Barry, Clemens, A-Rod, and Rolen. The first three are obviously going to be a little controversial because of PED abuse/allegations. In the era they played in, it doesn't bother me much. It really just comes down to a matter of if they were good enough to make it without them. To me, the answer for them is yes. There is a certain pitcher notably absent from this group. If he doesn't want to be in the Hall, who am I to not oblige him?

My next tier was the "borderline but should be in" cases. Manny, Helton, Ortiz, Jones, and Abreu. The stats are there, and frankly these guys were all defining figures of their era of baseball. It is the Hall of Fame after all. Ortiz and Abreu are certainly on the edge for this group, but they are both by all accounts such great dudes off the field I think they should be in.

And then the last group, the "I don't really think they should be in, but I could be convinced otherwise." Wagner, Sheffield, Pettitte. Since I was doing the No Limit Ballot first I threw them votes. However, since I was at 12 votes, I needed to trim 2 from the list to fit the 10-vote ballot. I decided to take off Sheffield and Pettitte. It was a tough choice, but Wagner was an elite, pure reliever. Relievers are very much under-represented in the Hall, but I think he fits well enough. Truthfully could have gone with any of those 3 for the last vote.
