You're being a homer. :) Realistically, six of those players (all wings) aren't NHL players yet. I like Mittelstadt, Nylander to make it. I'd guess one of the remaining four make it. If two of the four do, that beats the odds.

Fusion would be very cool if they can get it work, but right now it's tough to tell whether it's the future or alchemy. In the mean time, we better be sprucing up wind, solar, tidal, and reducing energy usage.

Could very well be; in Nashville so it's either that one or 2015-2016 season.

A local brewery has decided to make a name for itself by teaming up with a local canoe/kayak outfitter to hold Sunday afternoon beer gardens every week this summer. Nice shady location along a creek with shelters, live music, games, and kids activities, and a food truck. The beer is pretty good too! They have a mango ginger IPA that's solid and not overdone. Their two more standard IPAs are very drinkable too. Side node: Jerk Chicken Cheesesteak. Wow.

There was a long stretch of time in school where I didn't write in full sentences, only code and math. :)

M-x spelling-nazi-mode I noticed 'descent' in another of your posts; once is a fluke, two is a pattern. We all express ourselves more and more with the written word, so I correct you as a friend that wants everyone to come off in the best light. Please don't think I'm a jerk. Descent: to proceed downwards, a derivation from a predecessor, etc. "His descent into madness and despair", "The trail being muddy made for a perilous descent." "He is of French descent" Decent: respectable, adequate, conforming to norms. "It was a decent interview." "He's a decent guy" "The beer at Pearl Street is decent, but they are coasting on seniority and location."

sed, awk, and grep are your friends. :)

Alternate caption of the picture in the video preview: Parallel Universe Ryan Miller and Danny Briere Band. Am I the only one that sees that? I'm envisioning Bisbee, AZ, if anyone has been there.

Nothing in the article about grassy scrubland or anyone named "Heath". I'm disappointed.

I agree, that's what most of us want too. I'm just not sure the economics work out that you're not going to end up paying $300 in subscriptions.

Note on playoffs: Youtube TV signed up NBC, so it looks like for $35 month (no commitment), you should be able to get NBC and its hench-networks and see the majority of the playoffs. I'd guess NHL Network won't be on there so games there may be tricky. On VPNs: the NHL wrote some language into the agreement that using a VPN for NHLtv could result in loss of service and a $400(?) cancellation fee. I'm not sure if they enforce that; I'd be inclined to take my chances.

I'd love if this came to pass. It won't unless the entire cable/satellite business model implodes. NBC and Rogers alone are paying the NHL $240M per year for broadcast rights. I have a hard time believe there are enough people that are going to seek out the NHL online that advertisers are going to trip over themselves to pay for "air" time. Just doing the math, $240M means you need nearly 5 million people to shell out $50 each per year. That's a lot. Only two of the six SCF games this year drew more people than that; if there aren't enough people dedicated to watching the finals, I doubt you're going to find enough that are going to shell out. This doesn't even take into account local deals. The largest TV deals are $30-$45M per year, my very-ballpark figures that the 31 teams' local deals bring in at least another $300M.

Best quote, by a friend upon original watching of voyager: "I see a couple Borg implants they missed." Just because.

Cory was much more of a Tampa Bay legend. We picked him up off the scrap heap and then tossed him back next to MAG.

As much as I want to like Zemgus, using him as the bar is only borderline NHL player at this point.

Mine too. The left one not as much after falling on some ice and spraining it a few years ago. Oddly, the other joint on both my thumbs never belt correctly (it barely does). Can I still be human with only semi-opposable thumbs?

I was getting nginx error pages today. Bad gateway, error 502. Since this is the random thread and we're talking numbers, when driving I'll see highway numbers that have some significance in tech and they make me chuckle. My two favorites are PA443 (The HTTP over SSL Highway) and DE404, Highway not found.

My first though above was, "I wonder where you get those ear tags to mark the mouse". Paint's a way better solution. Would you rather fight 100 mouse-sized cats or one cat-sized mouse?

On a related note, Case #6 in our annual ethics training today was essentially, "gigantic, bald, tattooed guy at work gets harassed because he turned in the previous manager for cutting corners. And, he's scary."

That reminds me, I need to get that clean-shaven, wearing a suit, 3/4 turn head shot taken for my email profile picture at work. :)

Mostly agreed, although I bought a semi-matching couch and recliner from Sam's for my first apartment and those did well for a decade. If you were closer, I'd give you my gigantic red couch in the basement since I'm (read: MrsPie) looking to get rid of it. It's the mirror image of this: https://www.raymourflanigan.com/foresthill-2-pc-microfiber-sectional-sofa-294931956.aspx I know d4rk disagrees, but IKEA is a decent option for cheap furniture that'll probably survive a few moves, some of which only requires minimal assembly!

90 points == miss!

My in-depth knowledge in Polish says that's pronounced, "push". :)
