Absolutely. If the Isles would have gotten past the Bolts a few years ago they would have met the Stars in the Final. Of course I'd pull for the Isles all the way, but that would have been fun.

Play by play, or analyst? Their play guy is harmless enough, so I'm thinking you mean Daryl Reaugh, aka Razor, their color analyst. He's certainly unique with his offbeat humor and descriptive phrases, but he's super knowledgeable, and in my opinion he''s the best analyst in the game.

 

And as for their goal song, custom made by hometown Pantera? Also the best in the game. I'm been to games at the AAC and it's a loud and fun place to see some hockey.

 

Obviously you 100% disagree with all this.

You know way too much about the Stars. Very suspicious. Is it your second favorite team?

To each his own, it's obnoxious and dumb. They have one of the weirdest play by play announcers too, like nails on a chalkboard.

I didn't know you cared so much about the Western Conference. Yeah, Kurashev made a stupid mistake. Good luck against the Canes.   

I like the Stars, they're a fun team to watch. Lots of goals off the rush.

The Isles are due to beat the Canes in the playoffs at some point, not sure if it's this year, but we'll see. I'd say the Canes are the best team in the East.

Kings 5 Hawks 4 in OT. Fun way to end it all. 23-53-6  

I wanted you guys to win this one so Dallas could play the Kings in the first round, and you had the lead late. Instead, a careless delay of game penalty and 6 seconds of OT later and now it's the Stars playing Vegas.

The Wings deserved a better fate after tying last night's game with 3 seconds left and winning it in the shootout. Those heroics were erased when the more-undeserving Caps went ahead on an empty net goal in a tie game. Lame.

But Torts didn't know Flyers were eliminated by then.   

No he didn't, and those big moments in those two games were happening at the same time. Before the game he did say he'd pull the goalie if the game was tied late  because the Flyers needed a regulation win.

Well both the Caps and the Red Wings won last night, keeping the (undeserving) Pens out.  They had a great run in the late season, though!  Boo Caps, too bad the Red Wings didn't make the playoffs.

50 years ago today, Henry Aaron -- baseball's all-time HR king -- hit his 715th homer to beat Babe Ruth's record. Well done, sir!

UConn's Nika Muhl did a great job shadowing Caitlyn Clark.  That was a smart game plan, assigning a top defender to Clark with no help responsibility.  I was surprised that Iowa didn't seem prepared for that, that their offense didn't include more screening to free Clark up.  Clark seemed to have to do most of the work herself.

Andraya Catrer showed in the pregame how Muhl defended in her last game, and she shadowed Clark in the exact same way tonight. You'd have to think the Iowa coaches knew it was coming, I don't know what gameplan they could have come up with to combat that. Muhl is just relentless on D.

Give credit to the other Iowa players, they picked up the slack while Clark had Muhl all over her.

The illegal extension of the screen  prevented the defender from getting over the top.  It was a good call, and one that was made earlier in the game. 

Right, but the timing of the call seemed iffy to me, like if they didn't call it at that point in the game would Iowa have complained? Not sure.

UConn violates the Golden Rule!  When it’s crunch time, you don’t give the refs any opportunity to determine the outcome of the game.  

 I hate that such a close game -- and such an important game -- was possibly affected by a borderline call in the last minute. It makes you wonder if the call was legit, and I hate that we have to wonder about such things when we have legalized sports betting and TV ratings lurking in the shadows.

Laughs in California.

If you get a earthquake, us westsiders get White Castle and you get In N Out.  Fair is fair.

I did call it a bitty one.  But even bitty ones are rare out here.

And you can have White Castle, that stuff is gross. A sliver of grade D beef on a burger that's mostly bun. I can get slider buns anywhere.

How are In N Out's prices these days? Here in the east Five Guys is up to $18+ for just a regular burger/small fries/drink.

Jeez, I was expecting halfway close.  Clark drops 40.  This was fugly!

First half was dead even, second half came down to makes vs misses.  LSU had 18 more total rebounds (Reese alone has 20!) and 19 more shots taken but five fewer three-pointers and six fewer free throws made.  That's what it came down to. 

 

Kudos for Caitlin Clark for getting her team one step closer to a championship

Watched the whole game last night. Angel Reese is as fierce a competitor as you have in hoops and she is fun to watch, but Clark is from another planet. And it's not just scoring threes from that other planet, it's her passing and vision too.

Women's college hoops, especially when you get into the Elite Eight, is a far better watch than any NBA matchup.

One of his more direct solos, its not 4 minutes long. 

That's a great example of his shorter form solos, as is this one. I would consider this a perfect guitar solo.

Digital sales? That's nice. How many 8-tracks did they sell?

Also, your badge has been added to the Hallowed Hall, and below is a mini-badge that you can add to your sig, if you wish. Congrats!

 I watched this video about a week ago -- this song popped into my head for some reason and I found this live version. Eric's voice was still golden in 2007.

RIP Pegi. A huge part of Rush's history, and a name we heard a lot when we first opened this board almost 20 years ago.
