The comparison between this and the Landeskog issue last week really captures how dumb this all is. Read more

At the very least, any goal that ends a game should be reviewed to make sure it actually should count. This seems extremely basic and doesn’t slow down the game at all, since the game is over if the call is correct. It is literally the most important play of the game, no matter what other god awful calls were made… Read more

Following around a tiny black disc in the flying buzz of bodies that is a hockey game is incredibly hard, I can’t even fathom how hard it must be with the speed of the NHL game. Even with that in mind this is a horribly blown call, one of the four guys on the ice has to be able to see this, it just can’t be missed. Read more

I am very anti-review. Review can’t always ‘get things right’ without subjecting every minute of every game to review. What if the hand pass happened earlier in the play — so hand pass, pass, pass, pass, goal. Is that review-able? Meier looked like he got tripped prior to the hand pass, is that review-able? Perron… Read more

A friend brought this point up: there doesn’t always seem to be an official watching the puck. They’re looking for stick work, interference, slashes, offsides, etc, but too often there’s not a guy who’s just watching the puck. They allowed a goal to be scored in the CBJ-BOS series immediately after it bounced off the… Read more

You know who “deserves” Zion? The San Antonio Spurs, who held it together through a superstar deserting them via strong organizational culture and smart development of players. Or the Portland Trailblazers, who got over a devastating playoff sweep last year through strong organizational culture and smart development… Read more

I think there’s a fair argument to be made that teams that are crummy without the help of prior #1 picks are probably a little more deserving than teams who are crummy despite prior #1 picks. I also don’t know that I’d describe every team other than Golden State as inept.  Read more

As a lifelong Knicks fan let me proclaim that any team that’s owned by James Dolan doesn’t deserve shit. He’s the freaking darkness reaching out for more darkness. He’s Nixon’s paranoia combined with Trump’s incompetence. They don’t deserve any good young player because they would, based on recent history, stunt that… Read more

Pelicans fan here. Everyone can kiss my ass he’s our hostage.  Read more

I’ve been to hundreds of games at New Comiskey and I’d agree with the author’s take. It’s a suburban park in a city. It’s surrounded by parking lots and the Ryan instead of anything fun. It’s not at all integrated into the city and environment around it in the way that, say, Fenway, Wrigley, or the SF Giants’ stadium… Read more

I don’t agree with his last point about the new parks in Atlanta and Miami. Neither of these “theme park” stadiums are located in downtown.  I think both made a conscious effort to not be in downtown.  I’ve been to both and each have their charms (I may be the only one but I loved the exploding scoreboard in Miami,… Read more

Major League Baseball shoving ballparks down the throats of taxpayers has soured an otherwise interesting topic. And once built, the primary purpose of modern ball parks is to gouge the customers who paid for it. MLB is a sleazy enterprise full of crooks and con-men, like the shameless sloths who got the stadium built… Read more

I went to the new Yankee stadium for the first time a few weeks back and I was really underwhelmed. I expected to be moved — hell I hate the Yankees but the place is the heart and soul of the greatest organization in the history of baseball — but it just feels super generic, huge, and just generally sterile.  Am I… Read more

Great article. I have such a love-hate relationship with my hometown park, Tropicana Field. It’s a super-ugly dome but it rains every afternoon here from May to September so you can’t realistically play baseball here without one. Read more
