A major new study published today by a panel of Democrats and Republicans ranks states by quality of life. The states at the top aren't the richest, and they don't have the highest tax rates -- although they do seem to do an unusually good job executing policy and sharing the wealth that they create. Often they have opposition parties strong enough to keep ruling parties nervous and effective.
To see which state ranks No. 1 and how your state ranks (slight tease!), here's a gift link: https://t.co/JfjLMfcGDk
Combined career Game 7 stats for MacKinnon, Kucherov, Josi, Eichel, Esposito, Lindros, Stamkos, Necas, Salming, Point, Makar, Orr, and McDavid:
46 games played
• 2 goals
• 2 assists
• 4 points
• -24 plus/minus
And yet they're all pretty damn great in the playoffs.
@pokerguy43@B_Marsh92@RussoHockey They still pay CA taxes when they play those 3 teams away. People never talk about the fact that you pay taxes in the state you work. So even if your home ice is in Nevada you're still paying state tax for like 40% of the games played. Don't get paid in the playoffs either
Feel brutal for Wild fans. That team was so good and you lose your best center and a stud top 4 d man against the best team in the league. Just a kick in the dick. Minnesota sports fans are pros at getting their hearts ripped out.
@drosennhl@wyshynski Middleton didn't have a great series but on the game winner you give that guy the shot. Outside and below the dots is a low danger shot. It was just a snipe by the best in the world
@CSDeMott@adater People always give the players crap for giving the "canned answer" but the next moment ridicule them for speaking their mind. Its good theater for the game
