AOC casually raised $75K+ for low-income families by playing video games for a few hours while educating current & future young voters on the GOP Senate's indifference to pandemic economics. The kind of outreach that Dems typically spend millions in consulting fees to figure out.

The Democrats could win elections and push their agenda through with relative ease if someone with influence and guts told Pelosi and Schumer to step down and put some younger people in charge who could get young people to give a shit and vote.

The NHL needs to do something about the unfair competitive advantages that teams like the Panthers and Golden Knights have: Being well-run teams that players want to play for.

It's cool that guys making tens of millions are like, "yeah one benefit of signing here is I don't have to give a small amount of money to fund public schools and disability services," and we treat this as shrewd navigating rather than an abomination.

Tony DeAngelo spending four years calling liberals soft snowflakes and then deleting his account hours before Biden could be named the projected winner of the election is basically the perfect metaphor for the fragility of the white male ego.

There's a very easy solution here and it's Connor McDavid wearing a pride jersey/using pride tape and then daring the NHL to publicly punish him for doing so.
"Bettman's decision was criticized by many players - including the league's top player, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid who called the policy 'disappointing'."
This is dumb, and a step backwards. NHL, you are being dumb and backwards.

Hitting a player straight in the numbers AND lifting your elbow to drill a head into the glass. It's a disgrace. I don't care how nice he is in warmups or whatever. He's going to seriously injure someone with his bullshit.
Matt Rempe with an elbowing major and a game misconduct on Miro Heiskanen. As long as hockey keeps hem and hawing over what constitutes point of contact, players will cross the line.

Because the way I see it you have two choices here:
1. Commit to the bit and maintain the integrity of your argument by agreeing that "Make America Great Again" is a bad slogan on the basis that it's "open to interpretation."
2. Admit you are a hypocrite.
Your call.

Oilers' Dave Tippett on the CHI sexual assault scandal: "I don't have much comment on it. I have some personal relationships there, so I don't want to comment too much about it. It was an unfortunate incident (11) yrs ago that, I'm sure, you'd go back and do things differently."

I'm not saying Steven A. Smith's hockey coverage will be high art but the average sports fan would 10000% rather listen to him do his thing than a sleepy 3rd-liner from 2002 deadpanning into the camera about getting pucks deep and The Code.

Hi David. After reviewing the slogan, I have reason to believe it is metaphorical and not a literal mandate to be accepted at face value no matter the circumstances. Happy to help with the clarification here.

Picture this: You're a Florida Panthers fan. Your team traded three first-round picks to go all-in for the Stanley Cup. You score only 3 goals in a sweep by your state rival. You then watch Frank Vatrano torch that same team in the Eastern Conference Final.

I appreciate that the NBA knows Drake and the Warriors yelling at each other is good drama and marketing, whereas the NHL would have 8 different TV jabronis yelling about how classless it is and then trot out Bill Daly to talk about why Game 2 will be played in an empty arena.

Of the $67.2M cap hit the Arizona Coyotes now have on the roster, 57.6% of that is allocated to pseudo-retirements, cap retention via trade, and contract dumps.
To repeat, that is 57.6%.

Rodgers spent the entire pandemic using his astronomical profile to sow doubt in medical experts and then runs right to the best one that millions can buy the second he has a serious injury. I'm sure he has zero self-awareness about it, too.

I am not a Mets fan, but I have been around the Mets long enough to know that this ends with Matt Harvey pitching 7 innings of shutout baseball for the Phillies against the Mets in a 2019 Wild Card game and 500 news sources publishing a "The Dark Knight Rises" article.

Ahh okay. So you agree that MAGA is a bad slogan? Since it's open to interpretation? When was it great? What does it mean for America to be great? I bet the KKK have a very different idea for what America being great is than I do. Do you agree with this?

Lundqvist aside, Chris Kreider is the best Ranger of the last 20 years. Longshot prospect who jumped into the playoffs from college and became an overnight star. Five Conference Finals and amazing playoff track record.

Nick Kyrgios is the perfect anti-hero. Possibly the most talented tennis player in the world and he treats it like a 9-to-5 job that pays the bills. He just wakes up every day and decides if he plans on giving a shit about his next match. Legendary stuff.

Scary situation in the OHL right now. Skate-first collision in the Niagara crease. Niagara goalie Tucker Tynan had all his equipment removed and was rushed off the ice. Looked like there was a pool of blood. The TV reporter sounded frantic and was urging people to donate blood.

Benoit Allaire is insatiable. Shesterkin was too easy. He rehabilitated Quick in 2 months. Domingue dominant.
In the next game the Rangers will play a goaltender they found at Chelsea Pier just to prove a point. He will save 28 of 29 shots.

DeAngelo fell in the 2014 draft due to character concerns. He was traded twice as a prospect. He was suspended by both the OHL and AHL for bad behavior. Both AV and Quinn needed to discipline him.
He's not a jerk because he supports Trump. He supports Trump because he's a jerk.
Tony DeAngelo has had a dreadful two games here but you can't say anything about it without showing who you voted for in 2016.

"The Rangers have no replacement for Trouba" is a funny thing to say considering there is a right-handed defenseman on the roster that the locker room literally nicknamed "Baby Trouba."
