Twitter is fun because you get to be like, “Ducks are good” and someone in your mentions will go, “Um, I’m sorry but my brother is married to a duck scientist and this is a harmful view” and then someone else pops up going, “Your silence about horses is extremely telling”

If Matt Dumba’s hit on Joe Pavelski was legal, by rule, it’s time to change the rulebook. What’s indisputable: Dumba’s hit was late, it was vicious and it was completely unnecessary. In reality, Dumba wasn’t the problem. More so the *product* of one

Yousuf: If Dumba's hit on Pavelski is legal, it's time to adjust the rulebook

Dumba's hit was late, it was vicious and it was completely unnecessary. If a hit like that is part of the game, it shouldn’t be.

Knights vs. Stars during the national anthem. This was the loudest I’ve heard it for Stars fans between Minnesota, Seattle and Vegas

With all the winning happening in the south, how will hockey ever survive?

Before the game, Jake Oettinger asked for, and got, a stick from Marc-Andre Fleury. Oettinger said the first gift his stepmom bought him was a Fleury fathead and he had that in his room until he was 15 or 16. Oettinger stepmom, dad and girlfriend were in the building.

Jake Oettinger on the Pavelski hit: "From what I saw, it looked like a major penalty. I'll look at it (again) and I don't think my opinion is going to change. It's tough, you lose your leader like that, a guy we need, to a cheap shot like that. It's tough."

If you thought the overhead angle was incriminating, this sideline view is straight up predatory BS from Morris.

Playing with Luka last year resulted in career-best 3-point shooting percentages for: Seth Curry Maxi Kleber Tim Hardaway Jr. Dorian Finney-Smith. The Luka effect is very real. Mavs are betting on it.

Mavs are basically saying Luka is so good that if you get decent shooters, Luka will create such open looks for them, it'll be at a similar rate of efficiency as elite shooters. I don't think I can fault them for that line of thinking. They're probably right. It's all about Luka.
