    And a lot more downforce. The older cars are much more agile in the slower corners, but not enough to make up for the speed the newer cars can carry through the faster turns, how much better they can brake, etc..

    Thanks. Yeah I was wondering if both were actually on Marchment. Can't 'member shit. And yeah the one on Hintz was was huge because the Stars should have been on the PP. The Marchment one I can actually see as being embellishment, but like you said, we see worse all the time that don't get called. That's why I wonder what he did that made it so bad that this time they called it. Odd that it's been called twice in the last two games to keep us off the PP. But anyway, it don't make a shit.

    Like I said, I'm the guy who can separate my love for my team from what I see on the screen. You must be the other guy. OK. Cool. You do you. When I first saw it in real time, I thought he might have hit him in the head and would have been fine with a penalty if that's what the replays actually showed him doing. Then I saw the replays that confirmed that he indeed did not hit Toews in the head. His head whipped around because of how hard Benn hit him, not because he had hit him in the head. Now, what do you think about Hintz & Marchment on the receiving end of phantom Embellishment calls that kept the Stars from going on the powerplay?

    Nah I can separate my feelings from it, unlike you, apparently. If there's a bad call that helps my team, I can admit it. I would do that ... had he actually hit him in the head.

    You do understand that you don't need to be hit in the head to suffer a concussion, right? Right? And you also understand that being tested for it doesn't mean you have a concussion, right?

    No he didn't. Stop making shit up. He went shoulder to shoulder on him, elbow down, and hit him hard enough that his head whipped around, making it look in real-time like he had hit his head. Even the annoncers were talking about it. It was a helluva big hit, but it was clean and legal.

    Yeah I'm sure. It's probably been keeping him up at night.

    PSA: Monaco Historique this weekend ...

    Yeah the Pietrangelo hit on Seguin was dirty (even though Seguin said he doesn't view Pietrangelo as a dirty player). Benn's hit was clean, shoulder to shoulder, no elbow, etc. He just hit him so fucking hard that it made his head whip around, which made some dipshits think it was dirty.

    So, about that ... can someone here explain to me like I'm a child what Marchment did on either of those plays that indicates to the ref that he flopped? Because I can't see anything there on either of 'em.
  13. wood
    LOL. Depends who's hitting them. Dude just throws metballs all over the place.
  14. wood
    Jesus. Arrighetti is just fucking brutal, right from the first time I ever saw him pitch ... and nothing I've seen since has done anything but reinforce that. Just a bunch of gut punches followed by a bunch of kicks in the nuts.

    A blast from the past ... the 1984 Dallas Grand Prix : It was July, so ... it was hot. Nige took a break. Safety standards were a little different back then. That's just a chain link fence, y'all. The Paddock was just a parking lot, the cars, and not much else. Current small series paddocks are nuch nicer, and have shade, etc. "It's called Sex Panther, by Odeon. 60% of the time, it works every time". Jacques Laffitte and Keke Rosberg try to cool off. Pretty high-tech pit wall. Glitz & glamour. McLaren crew in full Marlboro regalia. ... and sporting twin brake calipers. Pretty wild. The great Gordon Murray keeps watch.

    Yep, and not only track limits violations. If they have gravel and/or grass in the right places, a whole lot of things that now need policing would be handled automatically by the track design. With a gravel trap on the inside of that turn in Miami, KMag wouldn't have even tried the move on Sargent that ended his race.

    Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. And when I say nicer guy, I mean bigger asshole. Greg Maffei sucks. Yeah, seems like Maffei & Malone got some 'splainin to do.

    Jim Jordan demanding info re: Liberty's rejection of Andretti? Shit's suddenly gettin' real forLiberty, who's already in a bit of a bind with Congress over Live Nation. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-republican-jim-jordan-f1-investigation-andretti-us-rcna151103

    Yeah that was never going to work and should have been a penalty as well.
  20. wood
    And because he didn't hit anyone, which is also bullshit because they say they give out penalties based on the infraction & not based on the outcome.
  21. wood
    Be careful what you wish for.

    And the goal total for the entire series was Stars: 16, Knights 16. But with Tanev on the ice, it was 5-0 Stars. Crazy.
  23. wood
    Go! Stars! Loved, loved the defense tonight. More of that, please. Fuck yeah. That stat about the 8-win game 7 coaches is just nuts.

    And oh yeah ... Magnussen gets 2 points for wiping Logan out. So .... add this to the long list of big incidents that Alonso's China bump is somehow worse than. Wow. Also, re: Stroll, he sucks, but he was unlucky with the SC timing, and I'm not sure they gave the penalty to the right guy there at the end (not that it would have put him in the points). He was fully alongside Albon and Albon ran him off the track.

    Or just as bad, his best KMag impression. He's a menace. Always has been. It is known. Ah, ok. So it wasn't just me then. And how about the incredible blonde on the top level of the pit building at the end of the pre-race show. OMFG. Yes. That. All weekend. Some people thought he was bluffing when he said the car's balance was shit, but I really don't think that's how he rolls. It really was shit. Maybe, but I kinda doubt it. That SC could not have come at a better time for Lando, and that car went great on the Hard tire. He was about to pit anyway, and without the SC iirc he would have probably come out somewhere around P6 or 7. Fantastic race by him. He deserved a win. (And not just because he used to follow me on twitter before he handed it off to a s/m assistant.)
