Weave

Larry Robinson. Stevie Y. Only ones I can think of.

If Simmonds is the 13th forward rotating in with Okposo and Girgensons it might be tolerable. But that is an expensive “luxury”. I’d like better.

Today, this is what this country has become.

These two items are enough to make me reluctant to jump on any bandwagon.

Is that even possible?

The only thing that works for me is wearing my glasses further down my nose.

O guess they learned that when you call yourself out for not being good enough you get traded for a bunch of chumps. At first I thought that was a replay of last years interview.

Some interesting quotes coming out of this. The frustration. The desire to see a tougher, more veteran team.

This incident is worthy of its own thread. So much to say about it that isn't related to Trump. Except, "It is ok, I am sure our stable genius will calm the masses down ." That one is worthy of being here. And meanwhile Donald is exacting revenge on Twitter for having the nerve to fact check him.

I get it. But I’m not exactly going to notice the loss in interest from $200ish over 12 months. It’s not like plan B was to put that money on black, spin the wheel, and come home with a retirement fund.

Doesn't. Move. the. Needle. At. All. *cares enough to post saying he doesn't care*

The world hopes the only panties of mine that I am throwing are virtual ones. We'll find a way to go next year. They are a bucket list band for me. I'm buying tickets regardless. Its the airfare and hotel I want back. I'm not using those.

Wait...3 people actually downloaded a file that Inkman uploaded?

Question 1, hell no I wouldn't go in that venue. Question 2, if they put actual, data driven numbers to it, it might keep me at home permanently. The last thing I need caught in my head is that a trip somewhere had a 1 in 20 chance of risking exposure, or whatever number.

Yeah, I saw the notice today. Time to call the airlines and hotel and see how much I am eating. This sucks, but I wasn't comfortable with the idea anyway. I'm going to watch just to see if we make eye contact over the interwebs.

Thats a good analogy actually. Noone says they are going to the liquor store to buy proof. You go to the liquor store to buy booze, which is rated by proof. I think my first instinct would be to look for something to kick if someone told me they are getting a tube of SPF to apply.

Sunscreen, although sunblock is acceptable. SPF is a rating, not a shmear.

Wait, trap door open AND commando? Like. A. Boss.

76 miles each work day. I'm loving not buying all that fuel and putting on those miles.

My first was in response to a very specific sentence in the post that I quoted. It wasn't directed at any fans (or you). It was a statement of my opinion in general. An evaluation wasn't necessary and was a play by Botts to buy another season, regardless of the kids we had recently rafted.

Well, if that isn't focusing on the trees and not seeing the forest, I don't know what is.

Looking for something refreshing today while basking in the glorious weather. Mu usual go to for a refreshing summer cocktail is a mojito. Issue: no rum in the house. How about a better, tastier 7&7? Juice of 1 lime and 1/2 lemon small squirt of agave to sweeten it up a touch generous pour of Evan Williams black label Top off with lemon seltzer water on ice in a pint glass Yup. That works.

Any GM that needed an evaluation year for that group of fringe NHL'ers is an unqualified GM. The "evaluation year" was wholly unneeded and an excuse to buy time. Someday maybe this fanbase will demand winning "today".

I agree on the timing. I don't agree on the why. I think they went the direction they are now on because they recognized then the seriousness of what was to come.

I've still got tickets for a show in late August. It hasn't been postponed or cancelled yet. No way short of a vaccine that I am comfortable flying to or being at that concert. I really hope it cancels. And I am really glad I live in an area that doesn't require public transit to get around efficiently.
