I know I started this thread and all, but, having now read through it and followed the links and stories, I realized I just don't give a shit about what goes on off-ice.

The team I love are those who are wearing the sweater as I watch a particular game.  Whoever comes out the tunnel is yay.

The rest is codswallop.

It's an awful piece, but she is entitled to one stinker.

The best thing about McNally is she has never written a piece like this before and never will again.  While mawkish blowhards  and talentless typists like Dan Shaughnessy and Mitch Albom reel them out weekly over 40-year careers, McNally never takes the easy way or the cheap derpy angle when she writes a real column.  She's a great analyst and a compelling writer, and she is worth reading.

Hopefully she'll keep doing that, and there will be a market for it.  1% of sportswriting is worth more than monitor toilet paper, and her work is in that category over half the time.  I cannot think of another sportswriter, ever, who fits this description. 

She's allowed her victory lap; it probably felt icky writing it but the pigs expect, and monetize, their slop.  Now, go out into the world and make sports journalism more than just the lazy, cliche mixture of sports marketing and overheated soap opera it has been for a century.

Speaking of TBRW, does the Report Generator not work for you on your mobile?  Yes, yes, the form factor sucks for the iPacifier, I know, I know, Paulette's gonna fix that, but I am talking about base functionality: do the pdf reports not display on your Pocket Epistemic Prison when you try to generate them?

I coded them, poorly, with VBScript, which I assumed had no issue with Android or iOS, but then again today is the very first time I ever used my Overpriced Masturbation Accessory to look at the site.

I hope his suckcessor is as suckcessful.

Quote from: arugula on May 16, 2026, 12:21:37 PMVgk!?!?  Now you lost me.  Pure evil.

Tawdry, but not evil.

The only evil in the NHL is the Slave States. FLA, TB, NSH, CAR, DAL. 

IINM we have several entering centers so we don't need to ever run that experiment again.

17 games.  Prime, of course.  Bah.

First 8: 44-60 .425
Game 9: 5-14 .263 vs Q
Last 8: 32-45 .416

Total: 81-119 .405

Their numbers are off by 10 on each side, or I mathed bad.

In any case, no, he didn't get any better*.  The treasure was the friends he made along the way.

* _{Although he never repeated his 4-game midseason 15-47 .242 skein.}

Quote from: Iceberg on May 15, 2026, 04:44:26 PMPer USCHO, the return games at Omaha are on New Year's weekend. Nothing I've seen on other OOC games

The Mavs' website only has NCHC games so far.

Quote from: Trotsky on May 15, 2026, 05:04:19 AMI have us with 7 draft picks on the team now.  I'm sure I missed somebody.

Your list is missing the great Cournoyer

Thank you, fixed.

Quote from: stereax on May 14, 2026, 10:38:50 PMPlease stop Major at center. It is painful for me.

Wasn't he becoming cromulent on draws towards the end?  I could be hallucinating.

Great news!

Malinski is a +8 in 6 playoff games.

Oh damn, I do not have that as a shorty. :-(  Gotta fix that if I can get secondary confirmation.

Quote from: Pghas on May 05, 2026, 12:12:07 PMThe issue really is that the way things have evolved...

This is likely the highest quality post in eLynah history, and you are our GOAT poster for WAR.  Thank you so much for taking the time to post here.  I very much appreciate your contributions and I am sure I am not the only one.
