@Hurley009 @FriedgeHNIC So you would stop watching hockey if there were no longer any head-first hits from behind into the boards? I don't see the logic in defending a play that adds nothing to the entertainment value of the sport and that can cause catastrophic injuries to the participants.

@Hurley009 @FriedgeHNIC NFL football is a high-speed, high-impact sport so it's a completely reasonable comparison. The suspension process can account for things like a last second turn, that's not a reason to nothing about plays that warrant a suspension sufficient to actually deter future violations.

Thought the hits -- Kleven, Tkachuk (x2) -- were fair, but do not like the Greig sucker punch here. Not at all.

@Hurley009 @FriedgeHNIC I don't care about Greig any more or less than any other player. If you look at the NFL, that league banned hits on defenseless receivers (and punished accordingly) and it has not eliminated hitting in that high-speed, high impact sport. It simply removed a dangerous play.

@mor67249 @FriedgeHNIC No you want to say it’s vigilantism because it was on greig. It’s a play that happens often in the nhl. You can’t start throwing 5-10 games for every hit from behind when guys can turn on a dime in a high speed sport. If that happens you might as well just eliminate hitting

@Hurley009 @FriedgeHNIC Walker's play wasn't a hockey play. That was vigilantism pure and simple. Also, there can still have flexibility in the length of the suspension given. If players started getting 5 and 10 games for "ordinary" hits from behind, those type of hits would be gone from the game.

@mor67249 @FriedgeHNIC Sure if you want to give out 40+ game suspensions for non hockey plays. Walkers hit was a hockey play, what justification would you give for suspending a guy 40+ games for a hit that happens at least once a night? Games too fast to be giving 40 game suspensions on a whim

@Hurley009 @FriedgeHNIC The suspensions the NHL gives are designed to give the appearance of addressing the problem while not actually addressing the problem. If the Department of Players “Safety” started giving 40+ game suspensions the thuggery in the game would be gone instantly.

@mor67249 @FriedgeHNIC Suspensions that involve retaliation have always been higher. A contact league like this will always benefit from self policing. what do you think is more likely to stop greig from doing it again, a 5 game suspension or the target he’s placed on his own back?

@Hurley009 @FriedgeHNIC If you read my post, you’ll see that I said the sucker punch needs to be punished. But that punishment needs to come from the NHL. The issue is that the NHL wants thuggery and vigilantism in the game because it puts butts in seats. That the problem.

@mor67249 @FriedgeHNIC So can a sucker punch. If you go out trying to injure someone, don’t cry when someone does the same to you.

@JesseVande6091 @ThomasD75995633 @HayesTSN It’s pretty common to like the show, but not the Dog. Feel free to be angry about that.

@mor67249 @ThomasD75995633 @HayesTSN You actually never HAVE to listen to or watch overdrive at all. You're free to listen to a show that doesn't drive you to the internet, whining like a bitch.

What is Tkachuk doing on this 5-on-3? Bizarro world decisions

@ThomasD75995633 @HayesTSN It's better when he's on his phone, you don't have to listen to his dumb takes.

@HayesTSN Watching Tkachuk on the 5 on 3 is almost as bad as watching ODog on Overdrive read his phone during the show for 5 min straight.

@RpsAgainstTrump Ugh, not a good example.

Q: What do you say to the American people who question how much longer this will take? Trump: You’re such a disgrace. Did you hear what I just said? How many years was Vietnam?

@atrupar Government of the stupid, by the stupid, for the stupid.

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

@MattWallace888 I thought it was the remote control for Trump's diaper.

Pay close attention to what the Secret Service agent behind President Trump is holding!

@BohuslavskaKate Hmm, I wonder why that is...

APPLEBAUM: Russians aren't winning, despite the absence of United States. Maybe Trump imagined that if the U.S. disappeared, Ukraine would collapse. It didn't collapse. European part of NATO, Ukrainians, and other allies turned out to be very powerful. It's almost as if Trump is listening to Putin, getting information from Putin. He is not paying attention to what's actually happening on the ground. It's as if he has no information from Ukraine and from Europe at all.

@Top100Rick The best possible outcome is that Patrick Reed loses in the most soul destroying way imaginable.

Best possible outcome for Saturday at the Masters? Rory plays solid, shoots even par. Reed goes off, shoots 66. Rory vs Reed on Sunday all tied. That’s the rematch we need. Keep in mind, Rory despises Reed with a passion with good reason…

@MysterySolvents "No. I am your father."

What is Trump saying to Eric?

@overhodetIkke @HungaryBased He's too big to be a mouse, he's more rat sized.

@HungaryBased Why would they stand behind a mouse???

@acoyne He’s talking big now, but will inevitably TACO in crunch time.

He is nine. This is a nine-year-old’s fantasy world, where you issue bloodcurdling demands, threaten to commence a-shootin’ if they are not met, then blithely move on to your next Conquest. Because, in the nine-year-old’s fantasy world, you have all the power, the power to bend the world to your will — rather than being, as most nine-year-olds are, more or less completely powerless, obliged to go to bed, take a bath and brush your teeth on somebody else’s timetable. It’s cute when nine-year-olds engage in this fantasy role-playing. It’s terrifying when the president of the United States does it.

@Isuckatpicking He seems to be deriving a disturbing amount of pleasure from that.
