The [Thursday] Papers"The shots kept ringing off the post and the crossbar for the Blackhawks - one, two, three, as the groans from the crowd at United Center grew ever louder, ever more insistent. Those clangs echoed in the second period and the third period until the puck sneaked into the net," Ben Shpigel writes for the New York Times. "The shots kept sailing wide of the post for the Lightning - one, two, three, as the cheers from the crowd grew ever louder, ever more insistent. Those misfires in a chaotic final three minutes tormented Tampa Bay as the clock struck zero. "The final score Wednesday was Blackhawks 2, Lightning 1, victory secured by a third-period goal from Brandon Saad, and the result validated the wisdom that had been spouting for days from each team's locker room - that these Stanley Cup finals were as tight as a subway car in morning rush hour." - See also: Blackhawks Get A Real Shake-Up Call From Coach Q.

Steve: I so might do that. Tim: Articles like that confuse me. Millennials are unlike others because they'll only buy fresh, high-quality food? I thought they're all broke. Steve: Oh, but when we talk about generations, we only talk about the elites of that generation ... or something. Tim: They're not voting for the same reason a lot of Gen-X people didn't vote during our recession(s) - deferring marriage/spawning/homebuying = moving around more and less likely to be registered, perceived lower stake in the system (esp. local issues - property values/taxes, school boards, etc.), more likely to work jobs/hours less conducive to voting than older salaryfolks'. Hey, I could do this one for you! Steve: It's all yours! Tim: I'll be too preoccupied w/slacking. Steve: Yeah, I can't be bothered.
