Old Gen X here. I still say record / disque for 33s, 45s and 78s, but Millenials refer to vinyls / vinyles. That's a grammatically acceptable construct -- the substantive adjective. Examples: deliverables, highs and lows, reds and yellows, drunks, diabetics, vegetarians, the few, the sick, the...

Bubbles is Canadian. He'd have understood every single word I wrote. ;) .

You're thinking of the two-line pass, which was made legal again 15-20 years ago (it was first adopted during WWII, IIRC). Offside happens when both of a player's skates cross the offensive blue line before the puck. .

Lindros and LeClair came to mind first for me, too, lol! Big, fast, strong and nasty: Lemieux, Jagr, Ovechkin, Lucic, Brett Hull, Cam Neely, Maurice Richard, Béliveau, Howe, Frank Mahovlich, Phil Esposito... Peak Gretzky would have scored 300-400 points a season. 80s NHL was already pretty much...

NHL has dump and chase because the rink is smaller -- slapping the puck into the end boards means it stays in the offensive zone unless it takes a weird bounce near the goalie, who can then just shovel it out. And the better teams don't dump and chase all that often unless they've got a big...

That's what happens when you lose virtually all 50/50 balls. .

I'm gutted, but resigned to the injustice. We see this more often in the NHL and the NFL -- a skilled player is deliberately injured and out for a lengthy period, while the perpetrator rarely gets more than a ban of a few games and a risibly small fine. Every time this happens, a hue and cry is...

Damn, it looks like they'll be playing on the 17th. Well, at least that increases our chances of advancing -- Wolves are at home to Newcastle on the 15th and visit Villa on the 21st; they'll be fielding an even less competitive starting XI than us. .

My youngest daughter and I will be vacationing in Brighton and London September 19-27 and attending the home tie vs Forest on the 22nd. It'd be fantastic if the Wolves match was held 3 days later! 🤞🤞.

"Are you orally men? ARE YOU ORALLY MEN?!?" :LOL: .

Other. U21 Albion 4 - 1 Crawley .

After this half, wondering if we'll see a kitchen sink on the pitch to start the second half. .

Crap doesn't swim for long, though, does it? It soon sinks to the bottom. ;) .

Better to be the bowels than the 💩! .

Even if they had, 'B' comes before 'M' in the standings. 😉 .

Yeah, but the commentators have been pumping Cucurella's tyres all afternoon. And Cucurella's much less likable than Colwill. .

Cucurella with a great view of Haaland's goal, there. .

I rewatch many of his best films now and again: Le Samouraï, Rocco et ses frères, Mélodie en sous-sol, La Piscine, La Veuve Couderc, Monsieur Klein... But for the past few years, he was a bitter old man who publicly repeated that he was bored with life -- he'd seen and done it all many times...

Lots of hit posts and how-the-heck-did-he-not-scores, today. AV's Bailey with a howler that managed to combine both. .

Same start as last season's, then. Let's hope the momentum isn't stopped dead in its tracks with injuries, this time. .
