The oldest Millennials are over 40 right now.

When I went to see if I wanted to make a fool of myself with a bracket, it said: "make your picks before they close one minute before puck drop of the first Game 2 of the Playoffs tentatively scheduled for 6:59 p.m. ET on May 4th, 2022." So, I guess there's still more time?

Hey, old people, it hasn't been the WWF in two decades. 😛

I went to game 4 of that series (a 2-4 loss in Philly). To this day, it's the only playoff game I've been to.

6th round picks.

Could've kept trading down.

I'm not in love with the spot they took him, but he appears to have the speed and pass catching ability that Singletary lacks.

Hell yeah. Played so sloppy, but they got it done for the fans and RJ!

I hope we go out big for RJ. Gimme 7-0, please.

Hence calling it a nitpick. We need a new term. LG (lead-gaining) drives?

Nitpick: he has 0 GW drives against KC, since, you know, the Bills didn't win.

It's a simple yes or no question. Do you think the Pegulas have done a poor job?

This is their first season under the new name. I was hoping for Spiders.

Oh sure, no game at all. You keep trying to shift the conversation and won't answer me straight up. Do you think the Pegulas, who have now set a record level of futility across the entire league, have not done poorly?

There we go

I'm not sure what your game is here. Do you honestly not think the Pegulas' performance as owners is pathetic?

You don't have to try if you're simply incompetent.

Three seasons. That was the longest streak without playoffs that Sabres fans have ever had to endure. Three. 2001-04. Counting this soon-to-be-done season, the Pegulas have owned the Sabres for 11 full seasons. We have not made playoffs even a single time during this ownership. Something is pathetic here, and it's not the lack of support from the fans.

I watched Everything Everywhere All at Once a couple days ago, and it was weird and great. I don't watch many movies, but it's currently the best of the year for me.

It's all arbitrary. People that like to focus on wins instead of points can aim for 45 wins, which has never failed to make playoffs. I don't really care; I mainly just like finding oddities (like the fact that a team actually *has* gone above 0.600 without playoffs, or how the 1925 Hamilton Tigers finished with the best record and lost 0 playoff games but were not the league champions (their players went on strike demanding an extra $200 due to the season being 6 games longer (the championship was forfeited to Montreal and the players were fined $200))).

Rounder than .586, but I'm betting you knew that.

Well, if you're going to discount that particular instance, then you might as well pick .586 as "the number that ACTUALLY matters" since all that still applies. Or even .590 for a rounder number.

Doing more research into this (thanks, procrastination), the 14-15 Bruins, 17-18 Panthers, and 18-19 Canadiens are all tied for second best P% without playoffs, with .585

And for anyone who's curious, our best record without playoffs was the 08-09 season when we went 41-32-9 (DeLuca .500, .555 P%).

The 69-70 Canadiens had a .605 points percentage and failed to make the playoffs. It seems 0.606 P% is the number that actually matters.
