It’s a Monday CANADA WINS! Evening Open Thread

[except for some football towards the end]

-Sid Crosby did a few points, piling onto an overmatched Finn squadoo towards the end. Whatever.

-the two best players on the American team are a Twinkhuck dude and a Sanderson fella-both are Senators, btw…

-There’s a rumor out there that Trevor Lawrence is for sale or trade. The difficult variable tells me that Jak-Town doesn’t have a working, full-time general manager. Otherwise, let your ill-informed freak flag fly, supposed NFL insiders!

-It’s a brand new season of arrests! Ben Cleveland, come on down-to a very temporary blacklist for NFL jerbs given that you only drove drunk. One admires your discipline.

-Raheem Mostert has been released! (to sign a veteran minimum contract with the Giants, I’m sure) Seriously, he’s 32 and has a ton of tread still left on the tires so is the perfect backup to any team that has a starting RB prone to injury.

-Steelers linebacker Preston Smith has been released as well. Rumors tell me that he didn’t go to church as much as Tomlin advised.

-Even three days after the Eagles Super Bowl celebration, there are no reports of any fan eating literal horseshit. This is a record for the fan base.

-It’s been [ZERO] days since an assistant coach in the male pro sports field has been reported to wave a gun/hit a woman. (maybe you gals in the WNBA might step up?, Just sayin’) Mavs assistant coach Darrell Armstrong had a disagreement with his partner so naturally a handgun was eventually involved because America. Seriously, if this happened in Finland a flatbread might have been involved if agreed to by both parties.

Get to it.

Back home, pants off, feast prepared, and posted in my favorite spot. “Weekend” engaged.

I love this country, and I loathe it simultaneously. Guess I’m “woke.”

Uh oh, I also work for GUMBIT.

WCS

Yeah, Grossi’s losing his marbles.

Before he got big on the YooToobs, he was a high school history teacher. He’s currently giving an old lecture about casualty figures, and the mental impact the Triple Entente faced immediately after WWI.

Sharkbait

Hopefully the short bench is the reason for the loss. Also 3 posts didn’t help.

Can’t decide which is most butch, tie for last I guess.

Why isn’t Eric Karlsson doing this good stuff with the Penguins?

Horatio Cornblower

So this means we have to give Greenland to Sweden, right?

WCS

Puerto Rico, the Marshall Islands, and 2026 second round draft pick.

I love that Swede goalie Sam Errson is playing like peak Patrick Roy now, but reverts back to standard shit-ass Flyers netminder during actual league play.

WCS

Tom Grossi has an extra couple chromosomes or something.
His touring all 30 NFL stadiums in 30 days two years ago wasn’t enough. His sequel was a marathon 48-hour livestream last year.

He’s currently live trying to raise a literal million dollars for charity, and is nowhere near that amount. I don’t know if he’s going to get any sleep, or if he’s getting nutrients intravenously off-camera. I do think it’s possible he’ll genuinely lose his sanity before this is over, though.

That’s Rocking!

Just walked out to the back fields and dumped 40 lbs of deer corn along the woods.

Snow and ice are frozen so hard there were parts I walked over without breaking through, and I am not a light individual.

Am I a big softy when it comes to animals in harsh weather, or do I just want those varmints to not eat our landscaping?

It can be both.

Check the batteries in your carbon monoxide detectors, my fellow dick-and-balls and Andy-Reid-Is-Fat joke enthusiasts.

Horatio Cornblower

Look, if it’s odorless and invisible it can’t hurt me. RFK, Jr. told me that.

yeah right

The airline changed our LA to Toronto flight.
Now instead of leaving at 7 AM and arriving around 2 PM we’re leaving at 1:30 PM and arriving at 9:20 PM.

There goes the 15th.

We’ll get hammered as soon as we land, or before!

Blue Jay’s game is still a go on Wednesday the 16th.

Bastards!

SonOfSpam

Hopefully it arrives right side up.

Sharkbait

Even the refs are getting hurt tonight.

Is there a 3rd place game, or do the Finns and Swedes just say hard pass?

Sharkbait

Apparently not. This is it for Sweden

I introduced blaxito to MC Hammer today (just songs, not the videos…yet). After about a minute, he asked me why this guy doesn’t want people to touch him.

So this is a fun phase for a minute, I hope.

I did not think you could just knock a goalie over like that.

Team usa needs to channel the spirit of herb Brooks

Pretty sure they’re playing this one to not get hurt.

Mr. Ayo

And failing spectacularly at that too.

Sharkbait

Too late

Sharkbait

The US apparently has forgotten that Sweden is in the building, and would like to win a game.

It’s an old image I stole from reddit year ago, and I stumbled upon it today

The Scotties is going gangbusters, too. My favourite gal is out with a knee injury but they replaced her with the second-hottest curler in the country.

I feel like there’s been a decrease in hotness in recent years.

Horatio Cornblower

Look, I’m aging naturally, OK?

BC Dick

I also miss heavily pregnant Rachel Homan.

Clearly the Kreider jersey was the right move.

It wouldn’t be in Montreal.

Won’t be three fights in nine seconds, but maybe three goals in nine minutes?

I sorta got a picture of some dolphins, lol

My brother in Daytona took some pictures of dolphins a few weeks ago off a bridge. Said even though this is cute was kinda tired of seeing Dolphins sucking this year.

I’m a couple hours away from docking in Alotau, PNG. We’re sailing up Milne Bay at the moment after passing through the China Straight earlier. Fun fact, the China Straight contains no Chinese territory whatsoever!

Kinda sad I missed the bread draft, most bread is goddamn delicious and those anti-carb people are weirdos. Bread sustained most of humanity for the majority of our history, silly to throw it away just because we’re awful at coping with the dietary innovations of the last 150 years or so

Horatio Cornblower

Sorry, Dok. I think you were one of the ones who inspired that draft. That said, if I planned mock drafts around what hemisphere you happened to be in on any particular day I’d never get anything done.

Doktor Zymm

No worries, it’s not like there are any real world consequences to missing a mock draft. I’m gonna get some extra bread with lunch, but I would do that even if I hadn’t missed the draft.

Horatio Cornblower

Just gonna go out on a limb here and guess that USA-Sweden doesn’t start with three fights in nine seconds.

Sharkbait

I was so hoping for Finland to tie it up. Oh well. I’ll be there Thursday for what should be a civil atmosphere in the 300 section of TD Garden.

I didn’t know Tesla made airplanes too

Yikes!

As someone who hates flying and is taking TWO flights to get to Australia and back later this year:

….cool.

Still way safer than driving or even walking most places. Although I know that’s not actually that helpful, but maybe a bit reassuring?

I’ll be fine. I know all the things to look out for and the stats. Just a mental thing. I won’t let it stop me from going places though

ballsofsteelandfury

Not that it helps (well maybe it does?) but you can’t control anything once you are on a plane so you might as well enjoy the flight.

Doktor Zymm

DB Cooper would like a word, although he reall SHOULD have just sat back and enjoyed his flight
