Great game! Red Wing killer Joe Pavelski with the game winner. Glad to see both series weren't a sweep and that Dallas got a win.

I put together an indie and alt-country musical start kit on Spotify. Sharing again for anyone that is interested in the country/alt country/indie country/americana/folk/bluegrass/folkgrass stuff like I am. If you are looking for new artists to get into that fit into these genres or just looking to get into something new in general maybe this will help you start your journey. I got started on my journey thanks to blogs and review sites like Country Universe, My Kind of Country, and Saving Country Music and want to share my love of this type of music with the world.

What else can I say about Jason Isbell that hasn't already been said. His songwriting is on another level from almost everyone else out there. He touches every feeling and emotion you have as a human being throughout an album. His songs always bring something out emotionally too when you listen to them. Each song is really a unique experience all by itself. One of his latest, Cast Iron Skillet, is no exception to that. Even if you have never lived the experience of the song, Isbell pulls you in and makes you feel as if you have lived in. Terrific songwriting here as usual by Jason.

In honor of Memorial Day for the rest of civilized society here who respect the sacrifice of our troops, even if we don't always agree with the decisions that lead us into war. Thank you to anyone here that served and all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. You're never a sucker or loser in my book.

In honor of Memorial Day for a couple of folks around here since this is what the right now thinks of POWs and MIA.

RIP Tina Turner

Two of my favorite singers and songwriters out there today in music, Brandy Carlisle and Brandy Clark, coming together to create a beautiful song. This song appears to be on Brandy Clark's upcoming, self-titled album. Really looking forward to listening to Clark's new album too.

Amazing that all four of the NHL and NBA Conference Finals could end in sweeps. When has that ever happened? Dallas is in a complete freefall tonight and is mentally checked out. Two players given game misconducts in a playoff game from the same team is an inexcusable lack of discipline.

Yes, who used to be a Democrat and is still currently a racist.

Washington Free Beacon: Historic Candidate: Tim Scott Would Be America's First Black President GTFO! I was no Obama fan back in the day and trolled him hard. I was highly critical of his Administration, on a whole host of issues. But I never, ever denied he was the first black President we had.

Stalin would have loved AI-generated photos.

Remind me again when you believed the whistleblowers who came out against Trump? Please refresh my memory on the posts you made in support of the long line of people who have testified against the twice impeached former President.

I'd like to think they got all the Lions players they were going to get on the first wave of suspensions. But something tells me that this is the Lions and there may be more to come.

Losing in Miami-Dade really hurts us though. That's akin to when John Engler won Wayne and Washtenaw counties back in the day in Michigan. Without the Miami-Dade area and winning back Hispanics there, how do Florida Democrats recover in the short term?

No Kyle Connor on their trade board? If Winnipeg is rebuilding and tearing it down, what would it take to pry Kyle Connor away? I'd guess it would take something like pick #9, #17, maybe next year's first and Edvinsson.

Bettman needs to admit defeat as he had to do on Atlanta and give another Canadian market its team back. Before Houston gets a team it's past time to give Quebec City a team back. Relocate Arizona to Quebec and get the naming rights for the Nordiques and call it a day. If not Quebec City then I'd like to see Milwaukee get a team if there is an ownership group willing to fund it.

So what big who posts up and can't shoot does Weaver draft now?

Whose the big lottery prize next year?

The rich get richer. Coach Pop gets Tim Duncan 2.0

This ****ing sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

Did someone say we like our team?

I don't know enough to make an informed decision here and roast Brad Holmes on this one. I do question why he traded so many assets just for Martin, a seemingly unathletic, slow, sub-2 RAS guy. But I have enough trust in Holmes to not go off about this decision. I would have loved to get someone else like a Siaki Ika, but Holmes and his front office staff know a heck of a lot more than I do.

It used to bring me joy to root against Edmonton and laugh at them coming up short. It was more wanting to root against and laugh at Ken Holland. But now, I can't bring myself to root against them or laugh anymore. I'm growing beyond always being against Kenny. It looks like Edmonton, barring a 3rd period comeback, will lose tonight and be eliminated by Vegas. I fell bad for such incredibly talented players like McDavid and Draisaitl languishing in the playoffs year after year. I feel bad for their fans having to watch a team with such amazing top-end talent come up short yet again.

Jahvid Best 2.0. We should probably just cut him now. Bust! SOL.

Bideflation!
