Was it winning that review of the spin or Lorentz killing a bat that doomed the franchise to never winning a Cup?

Little snippet from a recent News story. I couldn't open it to see if there's more than this: "The other was back on March 10, 1976 when the Sabres were down 6-2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins but scored five goals in the final 8:35 for a 7-6 win."

This line cracked me up. Based solely on Dan's ability to come up with something corny ("May the Faksa Be With You) and Rob's inability to get the name right, in fact the probability he loses the FCC license for MSG, the winner is Radek.

Can I get the crib notes? When would a Cup be awarded in this scenario and when would next season begin (and end)?

That ending was tennnnnnse. I miss the immediate minutes after wins like that. Maybe you go outside into the warm night and look up at the stars and realize there's no reason a'tall that a game should mean this much to you, but it does! And maybe you let out a whoop.

Sorry to hear about their situation. I wonder what the thinking is re: taking hydroxychloroquine after recovery.

Maybe it's a stereotype, but I think of the Japanese culture and think of societal responsibility. Did people social distance without having to be told? Did they wear masks religiously, everywhere? Still, it's pretty interesting and will probably be studied extensively.

It's not fear. It's logic. I don't buckle up when I drive out of any fear this is the day I'm going to have an accident. Likewise, I wear my seat belt on the way to Tops down the street, not just on I-95.

Well said, Ogre and Weave. Promoting that six-foot rule while not pushing for masks early on was a mistake. Unfortunately I don't think we've learned all that much. I read about these restaurants who plan to keep groups of people six feet apart. Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Whose risk do you consider?

Moisturizer after two weeks finally got the hangnail on my right index finger healed. Thank God.

How do YOU pronounce pedant, and are you sure you're right?

I saw. But Rick said it twice. The first one was pretty good too. So was Rick's first May Day. Any time you beat the Pens in overtime is a good time.

Which one?

Oh jeez, there it is.

For me, technically, yes. Starting in very late April, healthcare workers and first responders were tested for antibodies. I should have been offered a test, and asked about getting one, but I think I just fell through the cracks because I'm on leave. I didn't make a stink. Now, antibody testing is available to the entire community with a lab slip from a doctor. I'll be having my test tomorrow. My doctor told me a very low percentage of positive tests have come back so far, which matches the low number of positive cases in my county of 40-some thousand people — so far only eight, with several probable cases (symptoms and contact with someone who's positive, but no testing was done). One death, though.

You touched on some of the issues I was thinking about with the parents.

But if you want to get to the root of the problem, you have to look to the parents, no?

How did I just yesterday meet Buffalo-born comedian Joe Pera?

There are public databases where one can see to whom folks give their money. Yes, it could be a good discussion, but it's not wanted on this board, even when a certain subject clearly enters our sporting world. I've already said too much.

And what about the patriot jab. Most of us know Hank did some serious duty in wartime. That cuts pretty close to the bone. Hank used an argumentative technique called exaggeration for effect. It was very cold and sharp, yes, but he wasn't calling Eleven a child molester. It was a point about assuming. No one should be banned. I sure hope Eleven doesn't have enough clout to get someone kicked off.

Poetic justice.

Oscar Mayer's are really good. I'd say the best of the bunch. Have you guys tried them? I like to pair them up with a Stroehmann bun, plain yellow mustard and some Countrytime Lemonaid, the powdered kind.

I almost want to say There's No Way There's A Name For That. But... maybe earincarnation?
