Wow. This rule is the norm for NHL games, and he’s whining that it’s not “really” hockey? Like a shoot-out is more like a normal hockey game? I rarely comment on other people’s complaints about “fairness” or officiating, etc., because even though it’s often considered poor sportsmanship, I kinda empathize: 30 years and six championships later, I’m still kinda sore about the Yankees-Mariners playoffs. (In my defense, it was their first playoff appearance since 1981.)

But this? This is the dumbest complaint about sports rules I have ever heard, bar none. What a national disgrace.

Meanwhile: There’s a great article about how Canada has become poorer than Alabama. Hell, when I was a kid, Alabama was the third world.

It’s like people who complain about The Electoral College, you knew the rules going in.
