Of course, if the dumb fuck would read a book, he'd realize that the *reason* he'd never heard of Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis was because in those days it was known as Van Bogaert–Scherer–Epstein Syndrome,

(I actually have no idea whether clinical psychiatrists talk about "projection" at all--strikes me as more of a psychologist thing. But whatever.)

And what do clinical psychiatrists mean when they talk about "projection", Jesse?

I’m an undecided Edmonton-Centre voter, but strategic voting won’t factor into my decision—the Liberals will win, and it won’t be close.
(Also, the situations aren’t analogous—your support for the ANDP wasn’t strategic, was it? They were actually your preferred option, of those available.)

Okay, that’s it: I’m giving up not only hockey fandom, but all worldly goods, and will live out the rest of my years as a garden hermit.

Whatever—we’ll probably tie it again.

What a stupid fucking hockey team. What kind of a complete fucking idiot would cheer for this team? Just idiotic.

Posted the above before the tying goal.
Just ridiculous.

We’re obviously seeing some serious score effects. But the fact remains that the Kings are on the cusp of failing to defend a 4-0 lead for less than twenty-one minutes.

Skinner’s been very good this period.
I’m choosing to interpret this period as an indication that the Oilers have remembered how to play well against L.A., and therefore as a good sign going forward.

This game’s an object lesson in why it’s a bad idea to spend the first 39 minutes of a game going down 4-0.

If the Oilers decisively win this period, I’ll still feel okay about the series.
I’ll feel especially okay about the series if they win the period by more than three goals.

“That is the first time all season that Janmark has shot the puck past the goalie.”
That’s because he only scores in the playoffs, Louie.

OILERS IN FOUR!

Friedman saying something I’d wondered about: Kane not playing game 1 could be an answer to the suggestion that, for cap reasons, his time on the LTIR was artificially prolonged to the end of the regular season.

Skinner hasn’t been great, but I don’t particularly blame him for the Oilers having seven shots on goal through most of two periods.

This game has not been very much fun.

Nathan MacKinnon’s a Joe Rogan fan, so fuck that guy.

Well, the Los Angeles power play looked better, but Edmonton’s has looked *longer*, so I’m calling it a wash.

Come on, are they going to whistle down the play every time somebody’s two or three feet offside?

IT’S OVER. WE’RE GETTING SWEPT.

Did they just say that Brett Kulak named his new baby “Scotland”?

Stupid Kings fans and their ability to continue wearing their Gretzky jerseys.

I am retroactively part of the popular demand that apparently led to the Koreantown Harmonica Choir performing that American national anthem.

"There's only one trophy left, and it's the Stanley Cup." Conn Smythe would like a word.

I’m not going to pretend that that’s *why* I don’t litigate a lot of sex offences, but it’s a nice fringe benefit.

Whenever I sign things, I say aloud “I hereby certify that these are a bunch of words.” I assume that my doing so has some legal effect.
(Nobody expects criminal lawyers to read anything—civil litigators have two volumes of Rules of Court; we have three bullet points that they don’t hold us to.)

If you’re swearing a private information, no need to involve the RCMP.
(Also, the prosecution won’t go anywhere, because prosecutions initiated by private information never do, least of all when they’re require the kind of investigation that this one would to put together a proper case.)

I knew there was a reason I voted for him over Lettner.

Like, how can we claim to want politicians with the courage of their convictions but then elect people so transparently weathervane-ish about something as important as hockey.
No. Fuck that.

means that they hate the Oilers and want to see them lose, especially during seasons when the Flames don’t even make the playoffs.
So I want to see them lean into it: I want to see them taunting Oilers fans from their official social media accounts after every loss. I would respect them more.

Or just send a message forward in time from 2020 to 2024--either one, really.

Really? I can kind of see "memes" as the shot, and "table" as the chaser.
