And the ’D’ stands for Defenseman
Why is this man smiling? For one, he’s handsome. For another, the ladies love him. And, as of last night, he is your 2015-16 Norris Trophy winner. ’grats!
As well, he lives in Manhattan Beach, just like Maria Sharapova. Wonder if those two have ever run into each other down there. The bloodlines experts would be salivating.

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: None today, but your 2016 Big-League Hoopball Draft begins this evening, with your Philalala Seventy Sick-Sirs selecting first — barring, of course, any ill-advised last-minute deals. Can’t imagine Ben Simmons ate that cheesesteak on national television for no good reason!

Nocturnal Submission: Sifting through the wreckage…
Thank you. Best wishes. Goodbye. Skate safely.
Hey, do yinz guys got power? have viewed on the news about the valley with no power.
i live in Ca now so i can watch local news….. OBTW that D-man dont have a cup in his hands like 58 tanger!
Power OK up here in the borderlands of Hollywood Hills West/Studio City. Down in the flats is where that crow flew into the transformer and knocked-out the local electrical infrastructure. Traffic lights dark, much honking and cursing ensued.
That’s OK. DD8 still remembers the feeling from 2012 & 2014. We will go to Staples when your boys waddle into town. You can wear your #9/#10 Ron Francis jersey. We will have a prime-rib sandwich at Lawry’s; no spinning salad, though.
