Goaltending Is Not The Canadiens' Problem
The difference between an elite goaltender and an outright bad one really isn't that huge. The best goalie in the league is probably going to give you .925, maybe .930 over the course of a season.

It's Westbrook And Durant Vs. The World Now
The Spurs, because they are the all-consuming, unrelenting Spurs, did everything they were supposed to in their Game 1 matchup with the Thunder last night. With Serge Ibaka off the floor, they put their heads down and attacked the rim over and over again, scoring 66 points in the paint. They were in...
<em>The Maya Rudolph Show</em> Is Half-Man, Half-Muppet, And All Woman
"Men invented nepotism and practically live by it. It's okay for women to do it, too." All week long, I've been thinking about that quote from Roxane Gay's forthcoming essay collection, Bad Feminist—a prayer-hands-emoji-inducing aphorism that echoed again during last night's premiere of The Maya Rud...
Pantomime Cunnilingus And Blowjob: Braves Fan Covers All The Bases

Tony La Russa Warns Grads About The Machines During Commencement Speech
Tony La Russa gave the commencement speech at Washington University last week. It was, like most commencement speeches, sort of rambly and boring. But there was one La Russian moment that caught our attention, in which the old manager started going on about Styx, the machines, and sabermetrics....
Donté Stallworth Met A Very Sweaty Anthony Weiner
This morning, Donté Stallworth tweeted out a photo of himself posing with a post-workout and rather harried-looking Anthony Weiner. Intrigued, we reached out to Stallworth to see if he and Weiner were workout bros....

World Cup "Partakers," Illustrated
The illustrations above and below, by Craig Robinson of FlipFlopFlyin.com, feature notable World Cup "partakers," who made limited waves at the tournament (because, in some cases, they weren't very good). Craig was kind enough to let us post his graphics and brief notes, and you can check out larger...
FSU Softball Players Need To Work On Their Videobombing Game
We admire the effort here—the ballplayer-tied-to-a-roasting-spit videobomb is one that comes with a high degree of difficulty, and these ladies' execution is solid—but a good videobomb is one that enters the frame unexpectedly and unannounced. The magic is lost when everyone at home can see the pre-...
Carey Price Is Out For The Series
The Canadiens' chances of reaching their first Cup final since 1993 has suffered a major blow, after coach Michel Therrien announced that goalie Carey Price will miss at least the rest of the series with an injury suffered in a Game 1 collision with the Rangers' Chris Kreider. As you might expect, s...

Is Time For Timofey Mozgov In Crazy-Ass Photo Shoot
Timofey Mozgov did a fashion spread for Russian Esquire, and it is bewildering. The photos are described as "Basketball Timofey Mozgov (216 cm), who in 2010 played in NBA, tried to try shirt designed for the common man," but that doesn't even begin to do them justice....
The Tigers Will Not Turn Down For Anything
The Detroit Tigers capped off a series sweep with a 6-2 victory over the Red Sox yesterday, and they were clearly in a celebratory mood after the game. The tiger-striped zubaz sweatsuits are nice, but nothing beats Miguel Cabrera mean mugging in a TURN DOWN FOR WHAT shirt. ...

Algerian 800m Runner Loses Race After Celebrating Too Early
At less than two minutes, the 800 meters is not an especially long race. That didn't keep Algerian star Taoufik Makhloufi from cruising the last few strides at yesterday's Diamond League competition in Shanghai, waving his arms and wagging his tongue in victory. That premature celebration cost him t...
Report: NBA To Overhaul Replay System
It's one of the more ominous sights in pro sports: three referees, huddled around the scorer's table for agonizing minutes, reviewing a crucial late-game on a tiny monitor. According to a report from the Sun-Sentinel's Ira Winderman, after next month, it'll never happen again....
