I’m always amazed at how accurate the lightning sensor alarms are.

This is fantastic. Dallas had an entire period of extra man advantage In that game 2. Bettman, inexplicably (according to Rob Ray) was talking to an official at ice level. He would absolutely have no reason to do that other than the NHL could not afford another sweep. I’ve said it before, for Buffalo to win a championship at anything, just being the best will not be enough. Someone is going to have to be transcendent. Bettman can go ***** himself. cue the nfreeman post that claims all games in all sports are called the exact same and are completely unbiased in 3, 2, 1... love you, free.

I think he said something like we had 2 top 20 centers.

I really liked Derek Roy. I don’t think he was a first line center.

But as the first line, those would not have been their totals.

Not sure I agree, as we saw how the Sabres fared after those other two left.

Don’t have to.

In no order. Tie Domi Peter Forsberg Jerome Iginla Chara Ovechkin.

I ***** love my town. I don’t think there is anywhere else in the country I would rather be during this 4th of July. I have a huge yard by Northern New Jersey standards (.4 acre). I have 7 neighbors whose property directly touches mine. Directly next door is a wonderful Filipino family that we love. Other side family that moved out here from the Bronx. My wife talks to them every day. Out back we heard our USA whitey Irish neighbor socially distance practicing their drum routine for the parade. Next to them Junior was playing his Caribbean music during his family bbq (actually, he fills the neighborhood with the smell of his outdoor deep fryer, usually seafood). Next to them, full loud, joyous party yelling in Polish. Whenever one group would get loud and start shouting, everyone would. I feel like I’m at a campground. I don’t know if it’s because the rest of the world is quieter due to Covid, or the protests, but I don’t ever remember hearing this much reverie on a 4th. God bless America.

I will not watch that clip. It makes me more angry than I care to admit and I’m having a nice morning.

I really do understand what you are saying. I also understand that after rereading my posts, which I wrote while at work, I can’t even figure out what hell I was trying to say.

Still a moot point. We get it. There may be other reasons for an uptick and epidemiologists need to figure that out. But just as there is no study that proves that, there is no study that says that easing of wearing masks and social distancing isn't the reason (which you said). Therefore we shouldn't use it as a reason not to wear them.

Nobody does not understand what you are saying. Isn't it kind of a moot point, though?

Fixed

I wonder what the forefathers who sacrificed in the trenches of Europe would think of their grandkids who can’t wear a mask in the grocery store.

I know what you are saying, but this kind of a take has always bothered me. I think that that is a skill that isn’t valued enough. I’ll take that guy over a skill guy any day. He’s more likely to be better for longer. We’ve all played with many “high skill” guys who were just terrible hockey players.

Interesting and scary, although, I still think Occum’s razor is at play here as to the rise in cases. And PA is right. We all know how to use Google by now

Nice work. My mom’s 80th birthday is in two weeks. I think I’m going to get tested before I go.

Bambi chili. Deeeeelicious.

Is Mitt's development really ***** up, or is his path to the NHL just kinda,... weird? He's only 21.

Not responding to any particular post here. I love how we have to wait on the data for some correlations, but are so confident about others. How do we know that there wouldn't have been even more deaths if the hospital space wasn't freed up during the peak by sending patients back to care homes? Politicking this virus will be our downfall.

Realistically? No. For reasons stated upthread, individualism and anti-intellectualism. It makes sense that the median age is going down. People know that the older you are the worse it can be, so they are doing more to protect themselves. I do think we’ll see a second wave.

Stopping the spread.

Seeing pictures of the Jersey shore last weekend and a holiday weekend coming up,... we’re going to get that second wave.

I liked it. Now I have to watch The Leftovers.
