  1. Well, the system doesn't have a lot a spice, so yeah.
  2. The argument is that the Leafs D is more productive but that's not necessarily due to talent. Several of the Sabres D have suddenly become hopeless after reasonable NHL careers thus far. Some aren't ruling out the possibility that the issue isn't that they suddenly fell off a cliff, but that they're being asked to do something they can't. I'm sure there are 6 D around that can successfully play the system, but it may be easier to take the D the Sabres have and adapt the system (through coaching change or other methods) to their skill rather than swap out the players until you find guys that can play the system.
  3. Morning? Colder than Bylsma's Hide and Seek Status for finding a workable system.
  4. If it weren't for the sharing, SpiderOak One looks nice. I use their Encryptr tool for password storage, which is a cool no-knowledge (at least they claim) cloud storage. They can't unlock the files, and my password is never sent over the network; all they see is an encrypted blob on their storage and it's decrypted on my device. It's free. SpiderOak One is their backup solution that works on a similar premise; everything is encrypted on the device so they cannot unlock it for anyone. They do have a "share room" concept where you can share a password with others and put things into that area for them to see, but that may be cumbersome for general sharing. (Note: I don't use this service, so I'm just reading about it)
  5. I made a seafood pizza once, and it wasn't bad. Old Bay red sauce, mozz, and shrimp. It needed some work, but I think it could be a thing.
  6. Essentially, it's a "clean" version of Android that you load onto your phone, replacing the original build that the manufacturer put on it. I've put it on a couple old devices (under it's old CyanogenMod name) and it seems good. It's possible to brick the device doing it, so you want to do you homework. Additionally, device manufacturers will sometimes lock the phone so you can use it (or other similar software). I'm no expert on this stuff; my day-to-day phone is too precious to me to mess with so I've only done it on obsolete hardware. I'm kinda confused: Amazon it popping up full-screen adds on the phone itself, or only some apps?
  7. I'm not sure which version of Moto G that is, but LineageOS (formerly CyanogenMod) has a clean android build for it. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
  8. WGR's Marketing Dept. earned their money today! :devil:
  9. Anyone have a tracker on the ByslmaBeige4cylCamry to see if he's in Buffalo?
  10. I think you're joking, but no. Eichel had to go find the puck, that thing hit the streaking player on the tape.
  11. Looking more like James Comey, really.
  12. Wowxzers. It sounds a bit punk, but realistically if my boss told me they were moving everything at work to Windows, I'd be looking at other employment too. Life's too short for that.
  13. There could be spin there. Eichel is nearly untouchable. Gionta probably wants to play hockey next year, and may not have a chance if he ends up being the old Vet that's throwing his Coach under the bus.
  14. Not nervous, resigned maybe. But it's still Tuesday. Friday, I give up.
  15. Straight on the grill works too, BTW. Actually, you can buy the local crappy pizza here, doctor it up a bit, put it on the grill for a bit, and then eat.
  16. That would be fun, a long as Kane can be convinced to pass to Reinhart. It seems like he's finally learning to use teammates at times.
  17. So, Sabres lost, Vancouver Lost, Edmonton won their trade. I'm not sure where else he played (Mtl?). That's assuming he continues being effective, of course.
  18. Is it just Gallant and Hitch that are off the market right now compared to last week? I'm not sure there's a huge loss there. The Sabres may have their eye on a playoff team Assistant or other coach that's not available right now, but I wouldn't be the Housley on that.
  19. If I'm Antipin, I have to seriously consider going somewhere that's going to make me look the best for the second contract. If he comes here and struggles with the long pass for a year or two, it could cost him meeeeeellions.
  20. Buffalo is either going to have to offer a lot more money, or have some sort of promise about the system in place to get Antipin here. If this guy is as good as people are talking about, he'll have offers from teams that suit is style better.
  21. Seems to be working for Toronto! :devil:
  22. I think I have a little equity in my house, and I better call that guy in San Diego that keeps trying to recruit me!
  23. I'm not sure that follows. Taking one conference, let's see one division is complete terrible, the other is good. The top 5 teams in the good division (GD) are in the playoffs taking both WC slots; let's say every team of those 5 are better than every one of the 3 in the bad division (BD), but those 3 are better than the remaining 3 in the good division (the must have lost a lot to the 5 juggernauts). So the conference standings are 1-5 GD, 6-8 BD by points. in this case, the "old" seeding would be (only two divisions instead of three): 1-8, 6-7, 2-5 , 3-4. The new seeding is 1-5, 6-4, 2-3, 7-8. I'm not seeing a huge difference there. Each has one series of 5-8 teams and one series of 1-4 teams.
  24. That might be just the way he talks, too. I commonly say things like, "hey, my key worked this morning, I must still have a job" and "I hope I can get this task done before they fire me".
