The important question is....How often has bottom WC team actually gone on to win the Cup?


Best I could tell....three "WC" teams total:
2008 Penguins
1999 Devils
2012 Kings (as an 8th seed, essentially same as a wildcard)

If some guy wearing 43 had done this the hockey world would be going ape shit..

Willy must’ve twisted something when he went down in the first…

Okay, we all know I'm a bigoted chauvinistic pig  (cause I was born in America before 1970, and I'm a white male)


But....


We are now celebrating Asian Pacific Islander Heritage? 


But...but....what about the Northern Atlantic Islanders and the Eskimos, and the all the other Islanders?

We are now celebrating Asian Pacific Islander Heritage? 

Do what now? Nevermind, Imma extend my official unvitation to you, for APIH day!

Fucale sent back to Hershey…

Fucale sent back to Hershey…


https://novacapsfans.com/2022/05/06/capitals-re-assign-zach-fucale-to-hershey/

Why did they bring him up then?  I figure Hershey wants him for playoffs but seems like they would've known that prior to bringing him up.
His stats are not great this year in Hershey.

the NHL announced start times for most of the game 5 games..

I’m shocked, just shocked I tells ya, to see game 5 at Florida will be a 7:30 start

[alta]

Caps had an optional skate this morning, seems most starters took maintenance time. Hags skated, Willy didn’t.

[alta]

Mick, where do I go on Monday to find out how much nascar fined that insufferable asswipe for leaving his car in the middle of pit road

 

[Mickstix]

Steering locked up. Couldn't make the turn into the garage.    He is an ass isn't he?!?!    How bout that pass for the win? The ol' bump and run! Don't really care for Logano, but don't care for the Hendrick group even less!   

[alta]

I didn’t see the end, too many wrecks.. it was dinner time

[Mickstix]

Peanut gallery fan.. Now it makes sense. 


In other news. No Willy again today. Didn't even skate, far as I can tell. Said there was "no sign of him" this morning..

I saw one report, just one, from an idiot on the local sports football radio, that said Willy is hurt worse than is being let on and likely won’t return in round one. So, grain of salt and what not until it’s confirmed elsewhere.


There was a time when nothing interrupted viewing a nascar race, except draining and getting a refill. Sadly, those days are long gone and at this juncture I don’t see the hierarchy of nascar fixing that.

[Mickstix]

Yea, certainly more than "day to day" anyway.. 


Stockcar racing is just intrenched in my blood. I can't stop watching, even if I don't like the format/changes they come up with. I really wish they'd do away with stage "cautions" and just score the stage points. They'd still race hard for those bonus'.. Maybe one day they'll make the playoffs "old school" and just do away with stages and let em' run 10 races heads up and crown a champ? Probably not, but ya never know.. They try weird shit all the time.
