Sucks to give up a late goal but based on overall quality of chances, they seem lucky to get out of that period with a tie.

The way we do science today is very vulnerable to clickbait and sensationalist headlines

Remember the microplastics in your brain, in male testes and in your bloodstream?

It didn't make sense with what we knew, but it made great entertainment. #BadScience

I’m not joking when I say that even if there was no pedophilia or sexual exploitation, I could never hang out with Epstein purely on account of his email writing. I don’t care if you have an island my dude. You’re a clown in fucking Gmail!

You know what… guess they were just playing on hard mode
3 goals on 5 shots is not… excellent.
2 goals on 2 shots is not… ideal.

It’s not going to be easy. In fact, it is going to take a lot of incredibly hard work, courage, and sacrifice. But, my American friends, I do not regret to inform you that the Doomers and the MAGA Losers are wrong. You’re going to win.

Also, probably not your best defensive game when your goalie lets up 4 goals and still saves more than a goal over expected.
January 27, 2026 at 4:41 AM
5 goals by defencemen including a hat trick by Ekholm. As you’d expect.

The NHL, of course, would probably have to reign in its members who are currently working a side job as ICE agents before they can put out a statement.

This is going around Twitter, starting to see it here: It's nonsense.

If you click through those links, there is no evidence that this image was posted before today. They are Reddit/Twitter conversations that started days ago which continued today with news of the shooting.

The US is in full Mad King mode.

Though pretty much proves Carney’s speech as it relates to sovereignty vs subjugation.

Canada will have to decide if we’re a sovereign state or a vassal state.

And the US will have to decide if we can continue as anything but a vassal.

It’s striking to me how much this speech has broken through to normies. I’m hearing about it from the very not-online, non-political people in my life.

I would say that the NHL-Sky doesn’t have as much juice as NHL-Twitter did. But it is like 10 times less annoying. My conversations on here, especially with fans of other teams, are almost as normal as real life conversations.
I will say, I enjoyed the fact that 99% of the NFL talk on here yesterday and today wasn’t people screaming at each other about Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson and which one is more coddled by the media. Good work Bluesky.

% of starts for EDM this season that are Reasonable or better by the below criteria:

Skinner - 23 starts, 57% (13) Reasonable or better
Pickard - 13 starts, 38% (5) Reasonable
Ingram - 9 starts, 89% (8) Reasonable
Jarry - 5 starts, 60% (3) Reasonable
Using Moneypuck’s Expected Goals, I looked at the starter for each game. If the goalie let up as many goals as Expected (rounded), then that was Reasonable.

A goal less than Expected = Good
2+ goals less than Expected = Great!
A goal more than Expected = Mid
2+ goals more than Expected = Stinker

In 2023, Canada and Denmark formally recognized split ownership of the tiny uninhabited arctic island Hans Island, forming a new land border.

And I ask you this: what was the point of all that if Canadians can't start confusing everyone by saying stuff like "our neighbours, the Danish"

Ingram gets his shutout. Great game for him.

Goalies are voodoo and I’m hardwired to never trust them. But what a great comeback story for him. You couldn’t ask for much more than what he’s delivered so far.
