Oh, man, this bit from D. L. Mayfield today:

“But one day my own children asked me to look at them… They wanted to know if it was safe for them to be who they were. I had to make a choice. Do I want my parents to be proud of me or do I want my children to be proud of me? It was the easiest, most painful choice I have made in my entire life.”

Yep.

That’s a brutal loss for Dallas. Outshot the Oilers 35-10 and lost the game 2-1. Phooey. #NHL

Dallas #Stars have owned this game at even strength but haven’t managed to crack the goalie. Edmonton has owned the power play and hence is up 2-0. Have a bad feeling the series ends tonight. #NHL
