@batcountry1980 @Next_andReady I’m not a Billy Joel fan but I am shocked he didn’t make it. Other folks not on there: Randy Newman, Chrissy Hynde, Stevie Nicks, Neil Diamond, John Fogerty, Jackson Browne, Eminem

@Next_andReady Would have thought Billy Joel would be in there, aye

Just seen the NY Times list of the thirty greatest living American songwriters. No Tom Waits. No Paul Westerberg. No Talking Heads. No R.E.M. No Iggy Pop. But Mariah Carey is on there…

"4 cups in 100 years" is such a funny way to say 3 of our cups came during the great depression

☢️🇺🇸🇮🇷Scoop: U.S. considers $20 billion cash-for-uranium deal with Iran, according to two U.S. officials and two additional sources briefed on the talks. @MarcACaputo and I wrote for @axios

@TedStarkey @finkdontstink I cut Patrick a little bit of slack since the market has been so thin and if people are asking for Protas, Leonard, or Hutson that’s a no go. Although in retrospect, if we held on to Carlson and Dowd I don’t think we’re having this discussion.
English
@finkdontstink I would think so. Adding a Top 6 would help as well just because can mix up the lines more and not quite as reliant on him, which helps that pitch.
English
Sure sounds like Ovechkin's decision is less on what he thinks and more on what the Capitals do.

NEW: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will continue publishing! It has been acquired by the nonprofit Venetoulis Institute, which runs the Baltimore Banner. My story here: nytimes.com/2026/04/14/bus…

@TedStarkey @ndorsey34 I went into this season thinking Lappy sure is talented but maybe not an NHLer. I now think he’s an NHLer but not as talented as I thought.
English
@ndorsey34 Yeah, although Lapierre was much better late with more ice time. But those guys certainly can go the other way in a trade.
English
Notable UFAs for Washington are Duhaime, TVR, Kampf, Liljegren and Ovechkin. Milano in Hershey also a UFA. Main RFAs are Lapierre and McMichael.
English
@AGretz The whole loser point discourse against the Pens is ignorant. Factually wrong. I’m a Caps fan, and the point system is like number 103 on the list of issues this season.
English
The Penguins would have finished ahead of the Capitals in a 3-2-1 format and ahead of the Capitals in the pre-loser point format.
The Flyers are the team that should be drawing your anger.

16 loser points to Mickey Mouse into a playoff spot and now the King of the Dweebs is ready to run his mouth again.

@JoshYohe_PGH Most Caps fans are not having a meltdown. They didn’t deserve to make it. Too many uninspired performances and unaddressed roster weaknesses.
English
Caps fans having a meltdown about not making the playoffs despite their regulation wins makes me think about how incredible it is that the Capitals have advanced past the second round of the playoffs one time in the Ovechkin era. One time. Amazing, given the teams they've had.
English
@TedStarkey @BeanieJedi33 Managing ice time and playing time is not a strength. Last year when they were cruising they sat AA and McIlrath the whole season, only to have to put them in cold during the playoffs. This year, they were basically a three line team for half the season.
English
@BeanieJedi33 Yep, Carbery’s staff isn’t off the hook either. Lots of questionable decisions there too.
English
Washington never filled the Top 6 hole all season long, and a strange trade deadline thinned the defense and strained the room. Yet Capitals remained alive until Game 81. Had they acted or even stood pat may not have missed.
English
@TedStarkey @PepeRosas84 Won’t happen but Carbery should be on the hot seat. Too many times they didn’t come to play. Too many head scratching line up decisions.
English
@sammisilber This season is totally on the management and coaching staff failing to make obvious adjustments.
English
Capitals have been eliminated from playoff contention with a shootout win for the Flyers
English
@TedStarkey Unless his body is really telling him something, I think he’s back. Hutson, Lil Pro, and Leno help I think.
English
Since the farewell handshake is Ovi’s go-to (see Fleury and Kopitar), would think him shaking it off is a decent sign of his intentions.
English
“That was just childhood dreams come true … I’m really happy to get that one and get the win today.”
Ilya Protas meets with the media after recording his first career NHL goal today in Pittsburgh.

None of these things matter. Resting these guys is the absolute right thing and unless you paid money for a ticket there is no reason to be even the slightest bit mad about it.
Austin Bechtold@AustinRBechtold
Don’t like at all at the Penguins are sitting Crosby, Malkin, Rust, Letang, and Karlsson. Why is Kindel sitting? Would be fine with this tomorrow or in St. Louis, but the final regular-season home game and maybe the last time Ovechkin is here? I don’t like it.
English
@CJC_95 Well, we all know Forsberg was a bust. Is there an Erat out there we can flip him for?
English
Of all U-20 forwards to have played at least 50 games in the AHL since the 2000-01 season, Protas ranks fifth with his 0.94 point-per-game rate.
Here are some names that tops: Bergeron, Palmieri, Necas, Forsberg, Fiala, Miller, Kempe, Zibanejad.

@ruralj I immediately thought it was a ChatGPT version of his Truth Social posts.

Uxorial amplification!

After Trump's address, @sbg1 writes, "I suspect there was not a speechwriter who worked on this effort so much as an intern whose job it was to cut and paste the President’s Truth Social feed into a document that could be fed into his teleprompter." newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…
Español
@aravosis I truly believe there was a last minute scramble to feed his Iran Truth Social posts into ChatGPT to produce that speech.
English
Actually, it’s obvious to everyone that he ditched his speech at the last minute. You guys prepared to announce something big, and for some reason Mr. Taco changed his mind at the last minute, and you were stuck and couldn’t back out. So you just let grandpa ramble for 20 minutes while he was sundowning.
Karoline Leavitt@PressSec
This story was based on “six people familiar with the planning,” and I am sure none of them actually read the President’s speech before it was delivered. Politico did not even reach out to the White House for comment. Another example of why you should not blindly trust what you read from the legacy media. This is what they do - call up random sources who just make things up, and then they report it as fact.

The Fla. Panthers will be eliminated tonight if: they lose to OTT in reg.
OR
They get 1 point against OTT and all of this happens:
PIT-DET game results in both teams earning a point
NYI defeat BUF in any fashion
CBJ gets at least one point CAR
PHI get at least 1 point vs. WSH
