I heard that hospitals get reimbursed by medicare at different rates for different things (obviously), so they may have an incentive in inflating Covid numbers because they get more money. Seemed like conspiracy flap.

Do you know if Medicare pay more?

Do hospitals get paid extra money, from some fund somewhere, if a patient dies specifically from Covid? I heard this from someone and it seemed kinda weird.

What would make you think that? It’s called playoff hockey.

I hate Tampa, but they are a much tougher team that they have been in the past. if they win this year, which I think they will, it won’t be because of their skill (they’ve been skilled for a long time.) it will be because of their toughness. I hate the team I love.

That is terrible D.

That was kinda fun. I wish I knew what I was doing.

Ftr, I’m pretty sure that the GLO line was to only line in the entire league that was a plus against Bergeron’s “perfection” line. Larry’s a shut down player.

In.

I just joined. and fruit sucks.

My latest late night indulgence, cottage cheese with Sriracha (the real, green cap stuff.) Love it.

Can you only pick a team once?

Or it’s a personality thing, and what works in football doesn’t works in hockey. Seems to me like they are very different cultures.

I think the Zoom fans on the screens at the NBA playoffs is pretty cool. I wonder what it costs to get invited to that meeting.

I had no idea the cats were this interactive. I'm a fan. Also, I really don't give a crap about about 5G. My download speeds are plenty fast enough right now. You want to impress me,... get my latency to a point where I don't (I'll take barely) notice it.

So we agree then. Everything you just said was trying to relate the stat to the player. But it is a straight count of how the TEAM did when that player was on the ice, which is what dudacek said.

It really is. In fact, It’s a direct relationship to how successful the team was when you were on the ice. It doesn’t tell you how much more likely you were to score than the other team while you were on the ice. It tells you which team scored more while you were on the ice. You know, the object of the game of hockey.

I think LGR was agreeing with you.

It’s a very real possibility.

Werd.

One was unnecessary, the other failed. And the other may have failed because it was altered to accommodate the false hope of the one.

Again,... then why tank? This is pointless. You’re never going to waiver and neither am I. Would your position change if we end up trading Reinhart? Cuz I might stop watching hockey if that happens.

You’re wrong. The league is littered with good teams that didn’t have to tank to be good.

We’re not arguing if it worked or not. If your goal is to get one player, yes, we got Eichel. It worked. If your goal is to make your team better,... it was still a mistake. We didn’t have to waste 2+ years to get to a rebuild. THIS IS AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE.

Right. And a Tank wasn’t going to fix any of that. It was a mistake. This team’s bigger Issue is that it never gets value back for the talent that leaves. Hasek, Peca, Drury, Briere, O’Reilly, hell, even Lehner.
