Halak’s heinous goaltending is keeping the good guys from advancing to an unprecedented* third straight conference finals.

Which Republicans will grow a set and fight this poorly placed candidate?

Or, will it be more of the same?

Vote those out who do not do the obvious.

A longer series means more hockey, not a heinous thing.

Not gonna happen. There won’t be a fight until they are replacing a conservative or Kennedy. That’s the calculus. No one who sat out this election rather than vote for McNut better open their yaps to complain about Kagan. Elections have consequences. THIS is the most important consequence of all, the Judiciary. Those who felt their principles did not permit them to vote for the old RINO coot can choke on those principles now, bc THIS is what they have wrought. Rest assured that Obams is seeding the lower levels of the judiciary with his socialist spawn, and they will be young and will be on the bench for decades. Elections have consequences that last MUCH longer than the 4 years in office, and freepers damn well better get a grip on that fact.
