Millennial parents are saving everyone from the gay Gen X parents


Umm, I'm square in the middle of Gen X, 1973, and my kids are 12 & 9.

There's still a Gen X influence.

1. He's still young, so there is room for upside.

2. His defense is normally elite.

I'll give it more time before I start to worry.
Just filled up for $4.22 per gallon in South Dakota. This is the highest I can ever remember it being in this state.

The longer this goes on, Trump is going to be in trouble. People are getting tired of high prices, high gas prices, crappy job market, pretty much everything economically for Main Street and middle class folk sucks.

I drink the crap out of the new Pabst Light they came out with a year ago.

If you see it, give it a try. Drinking one right now.

Schlitz was dang good beer until they messed it up in the 70s. They went back to the original formula years back and that stuff was tasty.

Admittedly, I prefer a lot of those legacy brand beers, PBR, Hamm's, Old Style, Schlitz, Grain Belt, Ranier, etc.

That dude for Buffalo hesitated on the shot that lead to that turnover. Inexcusable. Not sure who it was. He cost them the game.


Nailed it. Just spent the last 5 minutes breaking that sequence down to my 9 year old. First thing he said was "that D has to get that puck deep".

Yeah, when you fake on the shot on the wing doesn't bite you have to use the boards and get that puck deep.

His second option was to give up the zone and pass it back to his D partner that had vacated to cover him.

He chose option 3, dumping the problem on the center in the middle who was covered by the Habs center, who instantly collapsed on him and caused the blue line turnover there.

Freaking horrible sequence and I called out "they're screwed" right when it happened.

The ref blows the whistle when he loses sight of the puck, not when he has confirmation the goalie has it covered. The goalie had it between his legs, therefore, out of sight. He was correct on blowing the whistle.

Goalie had it covered, ref lost sight of puck so he blew the whistle. As he's blowing it Buffalo whacks the goalies stick jostling the puck loose, trickling out where they put it in the net.

It's bang, bang but it was the correct call.

That was a great flopping/acting job by the Habs goalie. But the puck doesn't lie. All tied.

Goal Sabres. About freaking time.
Was going to watch this but forgot about it. Just went to watch the main event. The introductions lasted 20x longer than the fight. What a letdown.
5th time in 9 years of existence going to the Western Conference Finals. That's impressive. That's a very well run organization with a winning culture.

Good luck against the Avs. Going to need it. That team is a wagon.

I know Harbaugh played growing up, but when they got off football talk it was awkward. He ended it by saying he was going to go bang on the glass. Okay, Jim.

Keep Harbaugh talking football because any other subject is cringe.

Sorry bud, 2 hours per 9 (4 hours per 18) is pretty standard and expected. People like you that play up people's asses because you are in a hurry are just as bad as slow players.

I guess the biggest problem we have these days is that everyone needs to be in the same place to have access to jobs.

We shipped virtually all of our small-town blue collar manufacturing work overseas, or automated it. Now all the affordable homes are in places where people can’t get anything other than a minimum wage, dead-end job with no benefits.

Plenty of gorgeous homes available for next to nothing in small town USA. But good luck wasting your life and gas commuting to the nearest decent size city.

ETA it doesn’t help that blue cities have allowed huge swaths of neighborhoods to be taken over by drugs and violent crime, making them uninhabitable for normal working people


We need to fully embrace Work From Home in this country for this reason. Solves many issues and just makes sense.
The Chinese have stolen so much tech from American companies, time to pay back the favor. Get a hold of one of these great Chinese EV cars and reverse engineer it. Put our computer hackers to work on stealing every bit of data and specs we need from the Chinese car companies. Give all that info to our American automakers.

You know we could do that if we wanted. I don't see the problem with it given how China has been robbing and stealing from us for decades.
The American people are about to be screwed. I don't trust anything to do with China.
Ooof, wow. He picked that off the bounce and roofed it. That's not easy.
