The Gang Goes On Family Fight is a very underrated Always Sunny episode.

I am getting a cold and I feel like crap. I just wanted to complain.

They do not mess around in the MAC.

Honestly I respect it. Old school vibe.

Why does this Miami-Ohio game look like it is being played in a fog.

I am not even saying It's a bad move. I am just saying everybody is always quick to champion everything the Ravens do and I am here, once again, to tell you they are not deserving of that benefit of the doubt.

I am going to side-eye the people that questioned the Steelers extending a 30-year-old T.J. Watt and then champion the Ravens trading two first-round picks for a 29-year-old Maxx Crosby.

If I am that kid I am keeping the ball and asking Judge to sign it after the game.

Now that's some ball.

The Penguins went 6-5-4 without Malkin earlier this season.

But Crosby was there during that stretch. He is not now.

It also seems there is *chance* he is back before this suspension is over.

Splitting this weekend should be the goal and go from there. That's doable.

I would guess Crosby is back by game 3 of this stretch.

"How's your shift going tonight, Lenny? You almost done?"

He is extraordinarily friendly and was in a good mood tonight.

The one pizza place I order from has a delivery driver that looks so much like Lenny Kravitz it is scary. This is not a joke about Lenny Kravitz or pizza delivery drivers. This is a statement of fact. The first time he brought me my pizza I almost called him Lenny. Hair. Sun glasses. Clothes.

I am jealous because anything that involves bread dough or yeast I just royally fuck up.

I can make pasta dough with my eyes closed.

But bread? Pizza? Yeast? I'm FUCKED.

Oh, yeah, no issue there. Was just referring to the day as a whole around the league.

Well that was a waste of a day.

Weird move by the Islanders.

Somebody make a trade. Throw a pie. Do something.

The biggest point gap a team overcame to make the playoffs on March 6 a year ago was two points (St. Louis).

Nothing is 100 percent or 0 percent, so obviously things can happen.

But if I were a betting man I would anticipate the standings today are close to what they are in six weeks.

Unless they have another big move waiting in the wings (which I admit could be possible) I am not sure I buy the argument that their chances are better without John Carlson than they would have been with him. Jakob Chychrun isn't playing 60 minutes.

Their front office very obviously disagrees with this assessment.

06.03.2026 18:41 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

They would have to sweep, almost certainly in regulation, at least one of those teams in both games, still win a lot more games on their own, AND get additional help since Pittsburgh and Boston both have multiple games in hand on them.

06.03.2026 18:38 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But they are going to almost certainly have to maintain that, or something close to it, for *another* quarter of the season just to have a coin-flip chance.

"Washington is only six points out! Why are they trading John Carlson?"

Because they know they're cooked this season.

06.03.2026 18:32 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Today, two months and 20 games later (a literal quarter of the season) ..... they are three points out.

That stretch has gotten them three points closer in two months.
