I picked up the new version of EA Sports NHL video game on sale. I’m absolutely delighted to report that my all-time favourite stupid bug remains in the game.
In certain game modes, if you are using a team with Wayne Gretzky, it changes his number to 97. Because number 99 is retired.

Does anyone understand what the Cards are doing at this point?
The first of presumably several trades for the #STLCards this offseason:

One other thing about my Ottawa Charge experience last night.
I drove to TD Place knowing that the parking on site was sold out. Figured I would take a shot at street parking within walking distance.
It took me 45 minutes to find a spot 2 KM away from the rink. Got there just as the puck dropped.

Ready for some Uncle Tao Ottawa Charge posts? There are three of you who tolerate these and four of you who wish I’d buzz off. Anyways…this is for the three of you.
-That game coulda been 8-0 if it wasn’t for Gwyneth Philips. She was outstanding, and let down by her defence in the 3rd.

And it's once for the Devil, and once for Christ
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
We're busted in the blinding lights
Of closing time (closing time, closing time, closing time)

Really interesting to see Rory Guilday’s defensive zone play up close. The jump to the PWHL level of play is a big one, and you can see she’ll need to speed up her internal clock.

Say this, though: When they drop the puck and we get some hockey, this has been a fun game. Chippy, but in a good way.

Ah yes. PWHL refereeing. I did not miss this horseshit.

Considering that Alphonse Areola had to make five or six massive saves, I’m not sure that West Ham’s strategy of playing so deep for so much of the game deserves much credit for earning that single point.

Is there a footie equivalent to the hockey term “200-foot player”? Because Jared Bowen is that.

Loving West Ham being up 2-0, but I’m not sure my nerves can survive another 30-some minutes of them parking the bus.
