@MikeFromWoburn This is pretty much exactly how the delayed penalty works, right? The only difference is the penalty is more significant because it impacts a breakaway scoring opportunity, so the punishment is more harsh. A goal negates the pending power play in either case.

@Rainwontmiss 1600 Penn and Awake

@red_whiteandrew That's impressive restraint

@MikeFromWoburn Last time we had #1 and #8 was the Thornton/Samsonov draft

[kirk @kirkvance]

It's the world series, gotta play to win, but wow, there have been some rough sends tonight.

@red_whiteandrew *Fielder

@Mac23RedTID How do you strand the bases loaded with no outs, and then load the bases again in extras and come away with nothing?

[kirk @kirkvance]

@red_whiteandrew What a great day

[kirk @kirkvance]

Wow, what a comeback. Looked like this series might be over, but no quit from the Oilers.

[kirk @kirkvance]

This Pacers team is legit.

[kirk @kirkvance]

First Florida gift from the NHL, didn't even wait for the first period to end

[kirk @kirkvance]

@red_whiteandrew The NESN360 feed still hasn't come back from the mad fisherman promo

[kirk @kirkvance]

Quality coverage from TNT, missing a 3rd period goal during a game 7 so that they can show some inconsequential replays

[kirk @kirkvance]

Why even televise this? No one understands what is happening. They found a way to make the Powerball more confusing.

[kirk @kirkvance]

@red_whiteandrew @gingersnaphyde Awesome problem to have. Feels like they're locked in on Rafaela in CF, which would leave the corner OF spots for Duran, Campbell, and Abreu

[kirk @kirkvance]

@_TyAnderson That's one way to manage the game

[kirk @kirkvance]

Hockey is weird man, horrendous bounce to give away the lead with seconds left in regulation, miraculous bounce to win it with seconds in OT

[kirk @kirkvance]

@red_whiteandrew Heard he just called a timeout

[kirk @kirkvance]

@red_whiteandrew Then to show that they've aged, the hotel turns into a cruise ship

[kirk @kirkvance]

It's the home opener and we've reached the "Let's make this up as we go" stage of refereeing. The next 40 should be interesting
