Wow. First, I'm glad it isn't MS. Second, it looks like you've got a rocky road ahead of you. Prayers for you, my man.

I saw that try yesterday! What a run. Didn't help that England can't tackle...

All what institutional memory? As many of us were fans before the current system as those who became fans after. Tradition for tradition's sake is not exactly the story of the NHL.

3-2-1-0 is not the same as 3-1-0 though. And it's not the standings we're talking about, either, but the competition.

I have been a proponent of the 3-1-0 system for probably two decades and this is the first clear statement of why it never will happen, that I've seen. You are right on. It works in soccer because of the relegation battles at the bottom, but the NHL doesn't have that. Great succinct analysis!

I should hope so. Also how is it that Cincinnati has only an ECHL team?

I finally got something right. It's been a while.

Your own very next comment demonstrates that you know why they're booing. Also hat tip to @LGR4GM for telling me what's going on. Your own very next comment demonstrates that you know why they're booing. Also hat tip to @LGR4GM for telling me what's going on.

San Juan at the moment. I'll have to see if I can find a feed, I guess. If not, it's on to more Midsomer Mysteries.

What channel is this stuff on BTW? Even if it's nonsense, at least it isn't trashy, and I need something to watch.

And the wikipedia editors. Please, never forget the wikipedia editors.

You work for a financial news program affiliated with a national news network. But it is very easy for me to sit back here and say that. Do what you feel is right for you.

Finally a meme I can understand.

But it's not about making the playoffs. You and I are old. We've seen the playoffs. It's about winning the Cup, and Meier isn't getting the Sabres there this year. I don't mind rentals. But this isn't the time for that.

Yessir.

It's 82 and sunny in San Juan, there's a good restaurant downstairs, and @spndnchz finally admitted that she's in love with me. It's a good day.

But this isn't the year and we all know that. I'd trade for Meier in a hot second if the only issue were this year's run.

I don't care for an expanded OT, but I am glad that the votes were against expanding the playoff format. I think we all saw how ridiculous that was in 2020.

Sure but why trade assets for one year? Or even two?

Every time I say it, it's true, Tom. Every time.

Yessir. Can't afford him.

First, I love this idea and the creativity behind it, and I mean that. But I don't think he's under contract for next year, and I don't think he'd sign up for this in a new contract.

He would be broken in two. He's shorter than me IRL, ffs.
