Former ice hockey official, current annoyance at my job. Hoping the republic survives. Had the same handle at the he๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’site.

Well, that's three NHL games that had a penalty in OT, and all ended on the PP. Boston penalty was a weak slash call, MTL interference on the goalie?!? Wild Too Many Players - Stevie Wonder could have called that.

Ok, here is my pet peeve for the day... In a sports lounge/restaurant (confession - golf course 19th hole), why would the TV's have on A) sports talk shows, with no sound, and B), ESPN and McAfee. Lose/Lose IMO.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

I have to say this: I would estimate 90% of the people in the US would not give a rats ass about the World Cup tournament if the US team were not in it. Balogun was given a red card. Intentional or not, it was a dangerous play. Rules are red card earns 1 game suspension. Deal with it.

BTW - for all those sycophants cheering on this team who also support the republican agenda... Your people don't want half the US team to be in this country, let alone play for the team. Good luck justifying that.

To the taxpayers of Massachusetts: Congratulations, you are on the hook for millions of $'s for the world cup soccer. FIFA will probably not re-imburse one dime to this state, or any other that is hosting games. You want to get money back, good luck fighting with the felon and FIFA.

If Colorado wants to have any chance in this game, they have to think about going with 5 defensemen, keep Burns on the bench as much as possible. He's been a turnstile on at least 3 plays. 1 he took a penalty, another he left a guy open to score.
