He went easy on him because he was basically a good kid (read: white, elite school, talented athlete, wealthy, etc), and didn't think the kid's life should be effectively ended by a long prison sentence. He was eligible for 14 years, prosecutors recommended six. Judge awarded six months, which becau...

Seriously, they're really good.

There's a José Andrés restaurant in DC called Oyamel that has really good grasshopper tacos.

The petition to remove the judge has received 1,000,000 signatures in a week. So there's that, too.

The one without Crosby and Malkin...? That's the choke...?

I don't care who is or is not on the roster, if you can't close out a 3-1 lead that's a choke. Especially with game 7 on your ice.

The rapist was just informed that he won't ever be on the Olympic team, which up to this was apparently a possibility. So at least there's that.

244560 let's not kid ourselves. the Pens aren't historically a choke artist team. Are you kidding? They've lost a playoff series nearly every year over that time span. Since winning the Cup in '09, they've only had one decent playoff run. And that ended in a 4-game sweep in the ECF in which they sc...

Errybody, chill.

RIP Mr. Hockey

@dodint, this was the nickname of a professional hockey player called Gordie Howe. He had a very successful career, scored many points.

'I can't believe what you did.' Judge in Stanford sexual assault case slammed by potential jurors

So far, more than 10 prospective jurors have 'refused to serve' on juries of cases presided over by the judge that sentenced swimmer guy to what will likely amount to 90 days of jail time for rape.

I find it more troubling that Clinton was able to do what she did with the server as opposed to her doing it in the first place. This has been my gripe all along. It's not that she did it that's so galling..... it's that it was apparently okay. More information has come out recently, tho, that coun...

MiG-28s are no joke man

I took this picture, and I feel shame.

That was a shot at Mr. "If you post updates to the basketball game during a Pens game then you are a casual fan" Not wanting the hockey game thread polluted with loopy basketball junk is not an indicator of being a hardcore fan. It's an indicator of being a disciplined adult that knows there's a fc...

Not calling as much stuff in a playoff game isn't a conspiracy... It's like how the Pens have been collapsing on themselves defensively when leading in the 3rd. They aren't being coached to do that, in fact the opposite is true. The League is not instructing refs to ignore calls. It's "playoff hock...

The Penguins blew the doors off 19 of the Sharks last night, despite getting beer league goaltending in the first period. At one point, Mike Emerick even fell victim when he said "Shots are 25 Pit...... excuse me, scoring chances are 25 Pittsburgh, 8 San Jose." The Penguins do not need to do anythin...

I'd like to remind everyone that the originator of this thread said this last night:

If you haven't peed yourself by now you aren't a true fan

You are a pretty creative and smart guy, and you settle for AC/DC? Come on, man, be original

Entrance music needs to resonate with the people in the room. Does no good to walk into a meeting and have Paganini start blaring from the walls.

I actually like the third one quite a lot. But the first one is an absolute classic.

csb - when I worked at 20th Century Fox, my office was in Nakatomi Tower.

A best-of-few is the worst time in the world to run into a hot keeper.

That said, there's only one team that can win the Stanley Cup this weekend. If they play like they did tonight, I have full confidence they will do so.

One. Goal.

Guys, chill.

Refs have clearly lost control of this one. I'm not complaining about the lack of calls, necessarily, but a few words of warning o the bench would be nice.

And Burns needs to know what a skate across the Achilles feels like.

That's a make up call for missing the forearm.

No, they didn't miss it.

Back pass with your own net empty. Dumpster fire thinking.

I dunno, if I were SanJo I'd be wary of all this chippy stuff after the whistles. Not because of penalties (I mean, lol, as if) but because you don't want to light the fire.
