Hockey has had more revisions to it’s playoff format than Kinja and (like Kinja) they all have their downsides. Read more

When it was 1v8, 2v7 etc. people bitched and moaned about the lack of compelling rivalries and historical match-ups. No ‘Battles of Alberta’ (not that both teams had been relevant in the same year since 1991), Norris division bloodbaths or Adams division ‘who gets to smoke the Nords/Sabres in the first round this… Read more

Since the headline says “everyone”, I’m gonna speak up! Read more

We’ve been complaining about this in earnest since 2017 when the 2nd and 4th best teams in the league played each other in the first round - and honestly, if the Maple Leafs getting boned by the format doesn’t change anything, it’s never going to change. Read more

This doesn’t seem like a format problem as much of a “the Atlantic division is stacked” problem.

I used to think that before baseball went to the imbalanced schedule, and now I have to watch the Padres nineteen times a year. Read more

Of course, the real reason the NHL and the union are kicking the playoff can down the road is that the league is adding a 32nd franchise in Seattle in 2021 Read more

If anything, I wish there were more divisional games during the regular season and greater… Read more

When it comes to field-level crowd control at major events, there’s no security better than 66 y/o paraplegics Read more

Are you insinuating that our nation’s fine law enforcement would frame a black man for a crime he didn’t commit? Not in my America! Read more

The only real union thugs in America are the cops. Read more

I would love to know the odds of a case being dropped when a police chief gives a press conference on the charges vs when the chief doesn’t. It has to be at least an order of magnitude higher.

Listen, I was 9 when the Tim Burton Batman came out too, but I try not to let it back me into bonkers takes like “Jack Nicolson was a better Joker than Heath Ledger.” Read more

Being that it seems to be at a cemetery, it’s probably even *GASP* when young Bruce is visiting his newly deceased parents graves. HOW TWISTED! Read more

Easier to place two layers of TP on the surface of the water to act as a firefighter life net and quietly catch everyone jumping out of the building that is your butt. Read more

I had a camp counselor when I was 9, or 10, who used to bring a Vidalia onion with her lunch every single day. Would peel it and eat it like an apple.  Read more
