Folks were so happy Jarry got sent down and Ned was taking over. As if Jarry was the problem. Not the defense. Not the system. Not the coach. … It’s not the goaltender, folks. #LetsGoPens

Sullivan can’t remain coach after this season, right? He’s a good coach. But he needs a new team as much as the Penguins need a new coach. #LetsGoPens

Footlong spicy Italian with extra mayo? And here I thought Ovechkin couldn’t get any more ugh. #LetsGoPens #ThisTeamSucks

New map comes out following Canada’s win over the US #4Nations #Champions

Hey announcers - shut up and let the gold medals happen. #4Nations

Wooooooo! Worth it to stay up! Thank you Canada! #4Nations

Holy crap Binnington! And again. And again. And again. Goddamn! #4Nations

As they just noted, the two U.S. goal scorers play in Canada’s capital. Wonder how that goes over … #4Nations

Nonstop action in the third. Where’s my blood pressure medicine? #4Nations

Some weird-ass camera choices in this game. #4Nations

Woo. Able to breathe again. #4Nations

Binnington not super sharp. Again. #4Nations

Appears I’m about 90 seconds behind in my streaming at this point. #4Nations

Keeping Connor McDavid quiet for 20 minutes is a huge win for Team USA. Canada needs the guy who took over the playoffs last year (but, you know, with a different outcome). #4Nations

It would be something if the #Penguins got THIS Mike Sullivan behind the bench instead of the one who’s been sleepwalking back there for the past five years. #4Nations

Wow that was an awful Canadian national anthem. #4Nations

Watching #4Nations action really puts how weak the current Penguins team is into the spotlight. Crosby is going to head back and just be demoralized by the sad set of players around him on the ice in Pittsburgh. Slower, weaker, less accurate … it’s tough to want to keep playing, I’d think.

Also - #4Nations living up to the French translation shown on the ice: #Confrontation4Nations

More pushing and shoving on the ice … let’s show the bench! Odd choice by ABC. #4Nations

Team Canada admin listing on ABC spelled Penguins Kyle Dubas wrong. (dubus) Good copy editing, ABC! #4Nations

National anthems - Canada 1, USA 0. Rough start for the Americans. #4Nations

#4Nations announcers really poor on ABC. Looked to me like Barkov on Finland’s third goal, but they’re still refusing to admit it. (This after saying Rakell scored previously when it was Karlsson all the way.)

Today’s winner at TJ Maxx … bedazzled Cleveland Browns mug on final clearance in Philadelphia region. Stunning this hasn’t sold! Coat: $6

DAMN!! #Philadelphia testing the #Eagles parade sound system fully vibrated my organs. If you’re going to the #SuperBowl parade: - Consider ear protection - Expect a Woodstock-level mud festival at the museum.

Parade prep (primarily port-a-potties and projectors) #Philadelphia #Eagles #SuperBowl

Using AI to produce writing or art is like asking someone at the gym to lift weights for you. The effort is the point.

Rise up.

Now seems like the time to re-float my thoughts on 3-on-3 hockey OT. Adopt a basketball idea: Once a team passes a given line offensively, they can no longer go back beyond the previous line. Pass own blue, can’t retreat past own goal line. Pass red line, can’t retreat past own blue. Etc.

Whoa! What is Sweden doing!? #4Nations

Huh. Seems like when you put quality players around Sidney Crosby, he can still play at a world class level. (Even against world class opposition.) Maybe the Penguins need to make a note of that fact. #4Nations

Um. That Canada power play might be good. #4Nations

MARIOOOOOO!!!! #4Nations
