Evening,
No Warhammer tonight as we have a game 7 of the Stanley Cup plus soccer. Can Florida win the cup for the first time in franchise history or will the Oilers be the first to come back from 0-3 to win the cup? Let us watch and see, shall we? Copa is still going rolling along with the first game at 6pm EST where Colombia will face Paraguay, whose death squads will be the winner! Next at 9pm EST we have Brazil likely face planting Costa Rica’s players into the pitch. If Costa Rica survives, I will be surprised. I know nothing really about soccer but I do know that Brazil is perennially a powerhouse. Not sure how, because if I was a Brazilian soccer player I would be tagging as much Brazilian booty as I could.
I hope everyone affected by the heat is working to keep cool and relax. Oh, a nice little song for you:
When I retire there will be no Mondays, just Saturdays and relaxant of my choice.
To the games (thank god the TV here has a PREV button on the remote).
I like that Kamala is running around the country whipping up the “never says no” vote.
Hi.
Because you can get us swatted.
I’m not sure why Boris Johnson was given the job of escorting the Stanley Cup, but whatever
Found a funny:
(at the mcdonalds drive thru) may i ask who’s speaking
There wasn’t much booing of Bettman, wtf Florida
GODDMANIT YOU HAD ONE JOB
It’s our own fault, really – we forgot to paint Bettman as “woke”.
Here’s an artist’s interpretation of the Stanley Cup Final.
It makes perfect sense if you’re high. And I am!
like a LADY
“MCJEBUS, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?” -Edmonton, AB
He won a trophy! What more do you want from him?
Is the Conn Smythe Trophy made of 30 pieces of silver?
I was late getting this ready, so I never got to use it:
Brasil Takes Reacting Reasonably To A Whole ‘Nother Level
The Eulers just discovered what generations of spring break coeds have known for years, ending the night pinned against a wall in Flordia really sucks
I expect this to be bannered by morning.
Alright, if this doesn’t work for the oilers, nothing will

All right, Edmonton. Close your eyes and think of Italy.
McOverrated indeed!
Will they put warm milk in the cup for the Ice Kitties?
It’s all fun and games until their feline lactose intolerance kicks in
They do need to melt the ice afterwards until next season. Two birds, one stone.

Remember Florida, the end can come quickly

Book Rec Time-
I’m more than halfway through City of Lost Chances. It’s billed as a fantasy thingy but that aspect doesn’t dominate the plot at all. There are tons of characters with competing agendas in a city that has been under the yoke of an oppressor nation for just three years. The omniscient narrator is a cheeky bastard at times as well.
I will have to check that one out.
Adrian Tchaikovsky is good. His Final Architect trilogy is a mix of smartass heroes, military SF, and big idea space opera. It’s also complete, so you’re not stuck waiting for book three.
OG might have European Euros MVP sewn up, PALO! is making a strong Sudamericano push.
What the fuck is with the suit of
framesflames on the fan behind the Florida bench?Is Brocky at the game?
He’s saying he was framed? Role playing as a gallery?
I’m not nearly interesting enough to frame for a crime
Suit of frames. …. is this a typo?
I wonder if the members of the Spanish Inquisition would be great chiropractors?
No one expects the L3 realignment!
“Huh?” – NASA scientists
No one expected that.
I know, I’ll play the oilers fight song
https://youtu.be/xfi2ts2s7dc?si=BeB4XJeCj_14at8d
If it wasn’t literally Night 2 (and somehow my “Friday”), I’d have called off for Game 7.
Don’t call me at work.
Hmmm, I’m torn…
People in Florida Don’t deserve nice things…..
But I find myself not wanting the streak of no Canadian teams winning to end
As long as it isn’t the Leafs, even I would like to see Dumpsville win this and end the drought.
In other Sens trade-related news, this pandering fat fuck by the name of Bruce Garrioch predicted that Ottawa would have to give up Chychrun and their 7th overall pick to get Ullmark. He’s just guessing now because the new management doesn’t want him as a lapdog and this confirms it. He’s just a nobody now..
He isn’t worse than Eric Francis. That guy is a knobend.
Pretty sure that is just the ghost of Rob Ford’s happy place.
Toronto has their own Law and Order spinoff series, welcome to 2005 guys!
/The Canada bashing will NAWT stop until I’m reimbursed for all the Canadian quarters I got as change as a kid
I gave a NYC cashier a Canadian quarter once and you’d have thought I spit on the still-warm corpse of her mother. WTF?
I think it was just the NYC part
Yeah but what were you asking her to do for the quarter?
I like to watch the show to try to figure out where in Toronto it was filmed. Surprisingly they move around alot
I do enjoy that show. The chief’s weird eyes freak me out a bit though.
Skinner looks nervous.
Superintendent Chalmers will do that to a ninja
The Ice Kitties are BACK!
No way there are this many Floridian hockey fans. They must be giving out free meth with each panthers goal
Ruh roh Dumpsville.
that offside nullifying Brasil’s goal will surely push the Leafs into pole position
The capital of Brazil is Brasilia. The streets are laid out in the shape of an airplane. Unfortunately it’s a Boeing 737MAX9
Chicken fajita nachos, 2 margaritas, and a 30% tip for $26. Definitely advantages to going to the cheap Tex-Mex chain when in fancy-schmancy wine country
Presumably horrific trade just executed by the Senators.
/is it even that fun making fun of the Sens if Scotchy isn’t around?
//Yes, yes it is.
“New Sens GM Steve Staios is a God” is how I feel about this trade. The Bruins must be huge fans of the show Deadwood because that’s what they picked up from Ottawa.
Sens are retaining salary on Korpisalo, who I don’t know if the Bruins are likely to play anyway.
The cap hit only extends to 2027-28 instead of 2031. A Pierre Dorion parting gift they needed to reduce their exposure to.
Honestly seems like a good deal for them. They desperately needed goaltending, Ullmark was probably the best guy available, and a late first-rounder was not a bad price to pay. The Devils had to give up a better first-rounder for Markstrom, who’s not as good as Ullmark.
Sens still have their own first-rounder this year, and they’re supposed to be out of rebuilding mode anyway.
Sorry, but diving and sliding across the ice to perform a chop block is not “losing your footing”.
ppl forget this Panthers team was supposed to have Joel Quenneville as coach
Is “pizza pizza” the Canadian translation of Little Caesars? And if so, why do their Xtra Large pizzas cost 18 dollars?
Is that real dollars or Canadian DoUllars?
The more pretty colors on the bill means it’s worth more, right?
Yep, that’s why the world economy runs on Monopoly money.
Both are pizza joints up here. Neither is very good pizza, so not sure you’d want to get either
Who I’m rooting for tonight (artist’s conception):
TCU on the left, Andy Reid’s final form on the right.
They’re showing some footage from the sideshow that shut down part of the Bay Bridge this weekend and it looks really fun.
(note, apparently side shows have nothing to do with carnival freaks nowadays, it’s basically just a party with fun car stuff)
Damn, when did urban dictionary get all bougie?
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sideshow
I’m delighted to see Zach Hyman on the ice here in the Stanley Cup Finals; a lot of draft analysts thought he’d be a bust.
Isn’t it ironic?
Of course it’s raining on your wedding day, silly goose. You live in Washington state!
I can guarantee that it won’t rain on your wedding day for $500 up front, no refunds
Nothing in that song is actually ironic, and it pisses me off.
Isn’t that ironic?
/Also not ironic.
Does TSN broadcast the Leafs’ team watch party tonight??
They have a simultaneous Manning Brothers-style broadcast to factor in the nuances of this game’s impact on potential Leafs signings.
I am nigh certain that Drill Baby Drill will spit the bit tonight. It’s just what teams from The Canadia do in May/June.
That said, I’d love to be wrong.
I suspect Paraguay can and will give Brasil a dogfight for 2nd place in that grupa. They looked damned good, Colombia just is on another planet (like Uruguay).
My stomach briefly objected to doing two wine tastings on a mostly empty stomach, but I powered through and now I’m tipsy enough that I think my tongue injury won’t make solid food too unpleasant! Up in Santa Rosa so plenty of options for solid food along with additional liquid ‘food’
If I were a soccer coach I would make all my players shave their heads so they couldn’t do that stupid thing where they run their hands through their hair every time they shank a shot thirty feet wide and high of the net.
/I expect within a year I’d be a blue chip pick in this morning’s draft.
I feel like a coaching strategy based solely on trying to make star futballers be less annoying would be simultaneously incredibly amusing and catastrophically unsuccessful. I would totally watch.
/third eye flies open
The induced coma might make an appearance as a coaching tool in his case
better yet – make them shave ALL their body hair before each and every match.
MOAR AERODYNAMIC
Found a funny:
“can we harvest the sun faster than we can make computers squander all that energy” is a short summary of the 21st century
The NVIDIA stock I sold in 2004 mocks me so Imma root for the daystar
Right there with you, I sold mine circa 2000.
Hats off to the Colombia fans for showing up in force to this game. Look at all the yellow in the stands!
The NFL should grant an expansion team to the city of Houston and call it the Colombian National Football Team. They would sell out every game.
I remain surprised that the NFL doesn’t put a team in Houston. Just seems like such a natural place for an NFL franchise. I think one would be very popular if they ever do it.
Since I biffed the draft earlier, I’ll point out that the 1942 Maple Leafs were the first (and still only) hawkey team to rally from 0-3 to win the Stanley Cup Final.
/pushes nerd glasses back up
Also, how does that epic rally 83 years ago impact the Leafs Cup chances next season?
