Ah, TSN

You'd think they could wait until the game is over to get the correct final score before posting an article that mentions Tampa Bay's embarrassing loss in Washington. I'm OK with mentioning the shellacking, but at least get the score right!
(You'll note that in the Beasts story, the score is 5-1, while the story underneath it has the right score, 7-1.)

Also note Tkachuk's cute pink stick, for breast cancer awareness. It seemed to help, as he scored the winning goal in Buffalo.

Speaking of the Trash, when I was perusing their crappy press release archives (they haven't updated since February), is it wrong that I giggled like a schoolgirl to read this headline?
"02/01 -- Thrashers Acquire Delmore and Deveax in Exchange for Wanvig, Baby"

My initial reaction: The Thrashers had a baby and gave it up to Tampa Bay?
Yes, the player in question is named "Stephen Baby," though it's pronounced "BAH-bee." Kinda like "Ass-WEE-pay" or "Shuh-TAN."
Imagine that name on the back of a jersey; if he ever makes it to the NHL on a full-time basis, would anyone wear his sweater?

Are you going to purchase a #46 Baby jersey in pink? That would be the greatest thing EVER!

Bet he is a fighter. Got to be a good fighter with a name like that.
