@JCapGLJ Schenn had to be the #1.

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

@IslesbyDrew Eh. Wasn't terrible. Only obvious miss was not knowing Reese Witherspoon is dating one of the #isles owners.

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

Why do we have so many ESPN exclusive games this year? Never heard Bernstein before. Will reserve judgement for now. #isles

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

@JCapGLJ I mean that was a complete dive. #isles

@RussoHockey #isles anti-legend, Pierre-Marc Bouchard.

@MikeLevin Wasn't this the plot of Mountainhead?

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

@nyjets Maybe worry less about what the helmet looks like and more about what the guys who are wearing it do on the field..

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

@NDRedEagle Counterpoint - They're playing and he's going to try to limit their minutes outside of the PP as much as possible and rely heavily on the top 3 lines. #isles (Yours seems more likely, but a boy can dream.)

@stefen_rosner Hard to pin a guy with the can't stay healthy label in one season.

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

@PeterBotte Brilliant. (As always)

@BuckyNoseBest @JakeSherman @daveweigel Not understanding the intricacies of house procedure, is there something they could have done to prevent this if they had anticipated it?

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

You need 67 votes to convict in the Senate. Whether they impeach him now or in January is irrelevant. As many have pointed out, he is more likely to be forced to resign based on the revelations of the investigation than to actually be convicted by the Senate even if there are 56 Democratic Senators. Like yes, it's annoying that those 11 reps didn't show up to vote, but it's somewhat disingenuous to act like it makes a huge difference in the overall scheme of things.

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

A) regardless of the intent still technically legal so, given all the various loopholes and violation of norms that the Republicans have done over the past decade kind of hard to really cry foul play. And much more importantly, B) given rank choice voting, if she gets over 50% of the votes then it doesn't matter who else was on the ballot. That is the beauty of your ranked choice voting system.

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

Yeah, I came to that conclusion a week ago. I've been surprised that the predictive markets have her at 99% plus to win. Logically, if you were going to vote for her you did and if you didn't she was going to be your fourth choice. So I think that she'd have to be really close to 50% before they go to the ranked choice process in order to win. That said, as the additional votes have come in, she has gotten closer to 50%. Alaska Beacon analysis thinks she's likely to win. So, who knows? Certainly more suspense in Alaska than in Mississippi.

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

We plucked 33% of our defense literally off the street. Not sure what you were expecting, Andy. Barzal has yet to play a game. My narrative? We're not that good. But we had plenty of chances to win that game. Askarov played out of his mind. Hopefully it gets better when two of our most skilled and offensively creative players are back. Also, PDB is earning his money keeping this group in every single game. #isles

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

@CliffordAsness And actually believing in science.

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

@IsleStotle Well, I'm with you. I've always thought that guy was really good. Yet.. he never stuck with Tampa.. Or now San Jose. And you can't just claim him and stick him in Hamilton. You'd have to offer him back to San Jose first.

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

What are we saying about Eklund's career arc if the difference between him and the 21 year old center is the value of a Pelech and a second rounder? Nothing good. He's the guy who you're hoping has a Horvat like career. Granted he isn't a center, but is a center that much more valuable than a winger? #isles

[Matt Ostrowitz @DoctorOsty]

@BPSimon29 @NDRedEagle Right hand was on the hip and turned him. Completely from behind, because he was beaten.
