The reasoning was that if there’s no playoff then the league would consider it like there was no season, so everyone would be equal. Sounds crazy, but it’s already crazy.

Drager or Freeman said on Instigators that they might do like the lockout year and repick by giving all 31 teams the same odds.

‪Now I have to root for teams I don’t like so they don’t get the pick. 😡‬

Probably NYR, Chicago, or Montreal. They want to prop up a big city market.

My favorite Buffalo reporter. 😞 He was honest about the good and the bad without being bombastic. He’s also an underrated play-by-play man.

So were many other people, including whites, which was all captured on video. And the owner said nothing was taken. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/05/18/us/ahmaud-arbery-surveillance-timeline/index.html

Or black people are Ryan Miller, the police are Milan Lucic, and white people are the rest of the Sabres team.

But he understood why it happens. ”Let me say as I've always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. ... But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the N@gro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity.” - MLK

Substitution absolution confusion.

Lay’s, but the lightly salted so I don’t feel as guilty about raising my blood pressure.

My wife sewed me a virus mask to go shopping with goalie masks on it.

Received a phone call yesterday from my family in Buffalo. My uncle passed away from the virus, he was 87. My cousin couldn’t contact him so he went over to my uncle’s house. He found him unconscious on Saturday, and he passed away Wednesday. They couldn’t see him to say goodbye. Can’t have any service, and he’s being cremated. My cousin and his wife are now in 14 day quarantine. Out of 10 siblings, my 89 year old mother is the last one left.

Started working from home this week, and probably will for at least the next three weeks. We’ve had morning Zoom meetings every day so far. Managers say they’re checking how we are but it’s really to make sure we get out of bed and work. I had less hassle and interaction when I went to work.

For now for O it’s ROR, but hopefully someday it will be VO. For P is there any debate? Gilbert Perreault followed by Mike Peca. No Q. R is tough; Rene Robert, Craig Ramsay, or Mike Ramsay? I probably would lean to Robert. A case could be made for each.

LaFontaine is pretty obvious, but I wax nostalgic for Luce. M is tough; Rick Martin or Alexander Mogilny? I give the edge to Martin because it was a more physical era when players could take more liberties, and again the 70s were my childhood.
