Tough loss this afternoon

The Red Wings goalie was a freakin' wall. The Bruins out shot the Red Wings 2 to 1 but their goalie was incredible. Nothing got past him.

As a result, the Bruins lost the game.

They still remain 3 points ahead of the Capitals but that could change tomorrow when the Capitals host the Islanders.

I was going to post this link with a witty line but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to say something substantial about it.

The headline reads: "Are airline passengers getting more unruly?"

The answer to that question is "No" and here's why:

I traveled a lot in the 80s and 90s and I can tell you that it was a lot easier back then. Yes, we went through metal detectors but not like the ones we have now. They were simple machines that sensed large metal objects. You could leave your keys in your pocket and the machine wouldn't detect them.

Then along came September of 2001 and all that changed.

People now need to wear a minimum amount of clothing, shoes that are easy to slip on & off, have either a Real ID or a passport, pay an extra $25 or $50 for checked luggage that you then have to drag over to a special place for it to be scanned. Oh, and the water bottle you just paid $5.00 for at the airport store? Throw it away because you're not allowed to have more than 3 ounces of liquid.

Then you go through the machine that basically removes your clothing and displays a picture of you naked to the fat guy with the blue latex gloves secreted over in the corner.

Once you get through all of that, you get on the plane and discover that there is no room left in the overhead compartment because no one wants to check their luggage anymore. You finally find a spot to jam your bag and when you sit down, you find out that there isn't enough leg room for a 3 year old to sit comfortably.

Oh, and guess what? Your seatmate is some guy who weighs 300 pounds and is crammed into the seat next to you. He's struggling to put his seatbelt on which means he is basically fondling your ass for 10 minutes while searching for the latch that he keeps dropping between the seats.

Finally, once everyone is settled, the plane taxis to the runway, takes off and flies to its destination which is a hub. It lands and the pilot comes on to explain that due to unforeseen circumstances, the gate is not available and "we'll be just a little bit before we can get you to your destination."

Unfortunately for you, this isn't your destination. It's just a brief layover and if they delay your gate arrival very much longer, you will probably miss your connecting flight.

So after going through all of that, I wouldn't call passengers "unruly", I'd call them "justifiably pissed off"

There's a difference.

Other than hockey, it was a nice quiet day and now I'm done with it.

Here are some links:

• I blame the mayor of New York City, deBlasio, for this shit. He came right out and accused the NYPD of being so racist that he feared for his black sons safety when he was around cops.



• Attention criminals: If you post your crimes on facebook, you should expect the cops to find out about it.



• Oh Canada.



• Apparently he really hates craft beer. And he's a moron.
