So yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice, Ovechkin scored his 700th goal to become the 8th person in history to reach that milestone, but the biggest story of the night was about a 42 year old zamboni driver:

The NHL will pause the 2019-20 regular season due to the concerns of the coronavirus, the League announced...

 

They’re probably worried that Brad Marchand will spread it around the league by licking everyone 😜

Yup!

The should just award the cup to the team with the most points now. But Marchand would probably lick the cup too!

I guarantee he wouldn't be the first to do that.

That's a terrible idea. 

Besides the idea of Marchand spreading his cooties everywhere, you got historical precedent for not naming a champion. See the 1919 spanish flu situation.

That's what you think.

   I hope the season can be salvaged.  My team makes the playoffs only every twelve or fifteen years, so you have to grasp the opportunities when they arrive

I’m ok with it. My team isn’t playing for anything other than pride and development at this point.

They’re giving me the option to take the remaining tickets on my partial season plan and apply credit towards tickets for next season, which I elected to do rather than wait to see if I can make it out to the rescheduled games.

Eh, my hockey team is in 1st place and they happened to win the Stanley Cup last June.  I grew up in St. Louis.  And the college basketball team I follow out here on the west coast is ranked #2... so I won't get to follow either through the championships.  That's marginally okay... I still have golf.

My Rangers were not going to win the Cup this year. They really had less than a 50/50 shot at making the playoffs. But they were a really fun group to watch. I was able to see them twice in person in the last month, and I was looking forward to the rest of the season but the next one will be here soon enough.

My old but trusty bag is filled with clubs I built...Integra SoooLong 450 10.5°, Jackaroo II 13* 16* 23*  hybrids, Dynacraft irons and wedges...plus a sweet Tad Moore Peach putter.

   It was a very different feel to last nights exhibition games.   I miss the noise the most, but the empty arenas seem somewhat creepy.

 

  Anyhoo, I'm glad the Oilers beat the Flames, even if the goalies had to bail the team out after the let off the gas after the first period.

Was scanning the channels last night and saw Penguins v. Flyers (New). Wondered for a minute and then figured they had screwed up. Didn't realize till this morning that it really was a live game.

Kind of a NHL news desert around here.

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
    • As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
