Maybe it's the farthest. Per random searches (say random because it wasn't always the same website providing the answers; so take this for whatever it's worth). Ottawa Anaheim 2,448 Lauderdale Edmonton 2,550 Boston Vancouver 2,531 Montreal LA 2,474 NYC LA 2,445 So, it appears it would be 19 miles further apart than the B's victory over Van City. Of course, Sunrise is about 15 or so miles west of Lauderdale. No idea where the rinks are in relation to the airports for the other cities and no idea if those distances are all calculated via the same method. Some might be via flight path, which may not be completely direct, and some might be direct but from city edge to city edge rather than from airport to airport.

The #11 pick added to Krebs and Joki is too rich for me for the proposed Seattle deal. In return we get three UFA players, essentially rentals. That's a definite no for me. There are players to be had in trades that will help to strengthen our lower lines. This seems more like an act out of desperation than a smartly calculated deal. There are a number of teams that are in a cap bind where players will have to be dealt because of it. The best approach is to be patient and wait to see how the market shakes out. Our #11 pick is a valuable asset to be used or parlayed. I'm not wasting it by using it on players who will be on their UFA year.

Realize it's now Saturday, but solved the problem on Friday, so ... Had power to one room go out last week. Didn't trip a breaker and power still got to the rest of that circuit. After a few days of tracing the circuit in the attic, could not find a bad outlet; or more accurately THE bad outlet. Got a circuit tracer and found there was an outlet in that room that we did not remember being there. (Was behind some furniture.) Swapped that out, and that room is now back in the 20th century and electrified. Yea!!

I realized the other thing that threw me off was my wife is done teaching for the year so she was home.

Heading for the UK next year, first two weeks of May. What should I expect for weather?

I think it is but doesn’t beat Montreal vs LA by much.

Calgary Vs Tampa. How far was that? Florida would have home ice. Tough for the Oilers

I think it works as a stand-in for a conceptual roster that includes newly acquired veterans in the following roles: match-up 3C, gritty/banger 4th line winger, and 2nd pair R-shot D (in place of Joker). I don't think Seattle is looking to make such a trade at this point though (as someone else said, more likely at the deadline), and all 3 have trade protection. I think you could acquire a combination of similar players through trade and free agency, without sacrificing #11.

Would an Edmonton v. Florida final be the farthest distance btw final teams ever?

It could be. I do think Dallas is more banged up. They miss Hakanpaa on D and now Tanev has a bad wheel. Hintz hasn't been himself. They aren't getting nearly enough from Marchment, Duchene and Pavelski, who have 5 goals combined in the playoffs. The Oilers reported weaknesses (D, team D, forward depth, grit) are overrated though. They are better in those areas than they are largely credited for. Janmark, Henrique, Holloway have combined for more goals (7 ) than the 3 Dallas players I reference. I don't think they will be intimidated physically. Skinner is a wildcard from game to game, so there is always that risk. That said, Dallas could easily bounce back with something as simple as a great performance by Oettinger in game 6.

Toasty here. Which means we have about 3 weeks of summer left before it pisses down for the rest of the year.

Nice one. Nice pic too.

I wasn’t aware that Stevenson spent time trying to catch on in pro wrestling. While doing so, he issued a statement about the allegations of sexual assault that were made in 2019. https://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/wwe-star-gable-steveson-issues-statement-on-2019-sexual-assault-investigation “One of the challenges for me personally especially over the past several months/years has been reading the criticisms and attacks on my character by people who don’t know me personally and my values. No charges were ever brought by anyone and the entire episode has been difficult for everyone involved … Going forward people who don’t know me will hopefully see that kindness, respect and empathy are virtues I take very seriously in my life."

And these places suck.... Because large groups of people suck 😜

Bonus points for what season or even part of a season the player represents. For example the all time Sabres team has December 1998 Dom in goal. Now you might consider half season Tage.

I work shifts varying from straight overnights, to straight days. I basically feel like I live in an Alice in wonderland haze 😂😂

I’ve enjoyed thumbing through these rosters. It’s fun to look at the possibilities. Gotta say, Hajt needs to be considered higher on some rosters.

Where would the Rangers be without Shesterkin, seriously. Similar to, where would those sabres teams have been without Hasek. It's the one position that can really make or break you. The Blues wouldn't have won without Binnington (even if he is dog doo doo now) Hopefully we have our duo set.

The Araiza situation is a weird one to cite. That thing wound up as a real shlamozzle — with Araiza being released from the civil lawsuit after he sued the accuser for defamation. Here’s hoping the Bills did their due diligence with the wrestler.

There’s some truth to this. Skinner has outplayed the Big O from Big D, which I didn’t think was possible. This is perhaps the biggest reason this series is where it is.

Also possible Dallas is more worn down by playing tougher opponents. Lot of old guys on that Dallas team and going through Vegas and Colorado was a lot harder than LA and Vancouver. We will see if they have anything left on Sunday.

Well I do feel my counter proposal is very fair still

And if we still fail; then what?
