Cup lottery!

No, it seems like it's too close to a disease hot spot. A lot can change by the time they try to start back up, but I can't picture the players as a whole signing off on traveling towards a more densely populated area, which really would rule on pretty much anything northeast. ESPN has a story today that baseball is aiming for a May restart in Arizona. And they're working with federal officials (CDC and NIH specifically mentioned) on it. It's pretty safe to assume that the other leagues are doing the same with any of their plans, so it's not some evil scheme to spread this to the unimportant little people. Whatever these leagues settle on, it's going to be very well thought out and not just randomly thrown together with zero concern for anyone. The more I think about it, I wonder if they find some sort of regional setup. The midwest teams wind up in North Dakota. Find some similar location for the southwest teams. It still gets tricky with the east coast teams, they may have to relocate a bit further.

Where have we seen these thoughts before?

You're not remote enough, far too close to Boston.

Exactly. I heard one yesterday on one of the espn shows saying that the NBA is exploring televised horse games between two players. If what the NHL is doing here is embarrassing, what exactly is that idea?

Good for you fighting the good fight there. I’d say most here just don’t get it. The adults have shut down but their kids are everywhere. It defeats the whole purpose of the adults staying in. And this is with there being at least two cases in the neighborhood so far.

They need to get that arena on my tv. The place is supposed to be a palace.

We have this woman in our neighborhood who is pleading with people to let her know when they are going to stores. She says she wants to limit her exposure. Meanwhile, every single day her kids are out in their front yard playing with 5 or 6 other kids, climbing all over this little plastic slide. This is the same family who before this started were warning people about keeping a close tab on their kids. Some people are truly clueless.

You can't even let myspace have this one? Somewhere Tom is crying.

The one and only lasting impact myspace had on the internet.

Ha, I just found one other nice little throwback moment thanks to looking at my profile. Knightrider gave me a warning point back in 2012 after I posted to ask what actually happens when you get a warning on here.

I joined right out of the lockout too. I know it was still Sabres Report at that point. Do we know when that name change happened? I'm sure SDS does. Anyway, I bet some of mine are lost because this doesn't feel like a first post to me. I read it and feel like I had at least some familiarity with a few people at that point. Game Thread in 2005/2006 Season Posted October 20, 2005 · Report reply I can't wait for this game. I plan on making it to all 4 Sabres-Bruins games in Boston this year. So far, I'm one for one. Anyway,on to the game. If the third period in the last Buffalo-Boston game taught us anything, it's that Buffalo knows how to beat Raycroft. The Kotalik and Afinogenov goals were identical. I hope to see a few more high, stick-side shots tonight.

And then there's those moments where someone tells a funny story when posting about someone who died. You want to laugh, that's the intention, but I still don't dare hit that laughing face.

The actor who played Ben was really good, especially at the end... really good.

More remote locations. Even thought it's not true, Buffalo has that reputation too thanks to the giant cities on the other side of the state and the other side of the lake. Remote may not be the right word when it comes to Buffalo, but it's definitely the black sheep when compared to it's perceived surroundings. And what else really hurts is flying into that airport and then the drive over. It's not easy on the eyes.

You want a nice hidden place for a mess? The top of the fridge. "Hi shrader's wife" is written in the dust up there in the hopes that she someday sees it.

But now I'm picturing Ogie Ogilthorpe working in a prison, which brings pure joy to mind.

Does anyone have the patience to explore a couple branches down the trade tree on that one? Outside of Forsberg and Ricci, the rest didn't really spend much time with Quebec/Colorado (especially this Mike Huffman character, no clue who that is ? ). And then there was the whole fiasco where they also traded Lindros at the same time to the Rags. It's too bad we can never know how things would have turned out if that one went through instead. Maybe Lindros doesn't get his bell rung and he plays a full career.

Are those gloves hard to come by now? I have a giant box of them from a caulk project a while back. And if you have some really wide fingers, you can always cover each of them individually with another latex product.

It has absolutely nothing to do with weather. Every single year they have this poll and every single year Buffalo is near the bottom. The question is typically worded as "the worst road city" though, which is important to keep in mind. When it comes time for a paycheck, there's a huge difference between a bad road city and somewhere you don't want to play full time.

Buffalo has always been in the bottom of those polls. It has nothing to do with Botterill, Pegula, or anyone else in the organization. As long as those polls are being conducted, Buffalo will always be at the bottom. Death, taxes, and ripping on Buffalo.

I saw the first of the new Jumangi's in the theater and the woman next to me completely ruined it. She laughed hysterically at every single line and then explained how each scene was a reference to something from the original. Mass audience laughter can really help a theater experience, but only when things are actually funny.

Thanks for throwing in that last part because I was getting ready to ask how they make space for that move. I have a hard time seeing them stashing him, but I suppose he's dead cap space on or off the team.

I figured you were off in some random foreign country.

There's more than one person at Johns Hopkins. And then there's all of their past graduates who are now working somewhere else.
