Murray *may* (I'm not conceding the point), but DD has destroyed the offence. If the team is going to lose, I want to see losing 5-4 games.

Youth today know nothing. They're already forgotten Bowling Green. (I assume that's what he meant)

I'd be wary of anything that introduces particulates into the lungs.

The last part belongs in the Awesome Thread!

Sabres lost to the Lightening, I'm at 2085 I think. Or out if there are time limits, whatever. 10 on the Sabres at +120. I kind of want out.

We've shared beers at times since we were dating; my wife generally "doesn't want a whole beer" these days (unless it's 3 1/2s of my beers). :)

Very minor complaint: my wife drinks my beer. Generally I don't mind, but sometimes I just want to pour a single beer and nurse it for an hour while I'm cooking or whatever. I feel oddly pressured, since if I don't drink the beer it'll be gone. :)

Vaping seems like one of those things where we're going to find out in 10 years that it's twice as bad as asbestos for your lungs.

Rolston and Nolans must have run out of tickets. :) Hitch: if he's still using the trappy Bylsma-like system that he played for years, ugh. If he changes his style to fit the players, maybe. Moot though, from the sounds of it.

If I remember right, it's a ways out so LIRR. I think even LIRR and then a shuttle. Whoops, no shuttle, Train then Bus or Cab. http://www.nassaucoliseum.com/getting-here That far out in the suburbs though, I think you have more people that drive.

Hank took a snarky shot at d4rk, d4rk took a shot back. I'm not sure why anyone would choose a side as it looks pretty equal to me.

Lando's got some 'splainin to do. :)

I realized something last night: when I used my PS3 to watch games, I had the scores turned off. In the NHL app on my phone, I don't, and I'm far less likely to put on a game late if I know they lost. This has happened with the Dallas, Nashville, and Moerayall game.

I'm on it, don't worry.

Personally, it's tough to waste time worrying about a substandard (but looking up) hockey team where there are so many other things to worry about. I'm toying with buying some tickets in Ottawa towards the end of the season so I have a good excuse to cross the border. You know, just in case. I hear some rumors that the US Marshalls are refusing to serve warrants to CBP because the US AG says not to. That's not how this works, I really hope there's still a functioning Judicial Branch in a week if that's true. Mostly for Eleven's sake. :)

Goal judge: Seems like watching an above-the-net feed of the goal is a better perspective for seeing the puck cross the line. If you play around with NHL.tv they usually have a multi-cam feed for games, where there are three camera feeds: broadcast feed (what you normally see), and the two over the net feeds. The strange thing is they're usually not in sync very well, but it's interesting. I'd bet there's still a goal judge somewhere in the building that just watches that feed. http://www.denverpost.com/2007/08/29/goal-judges-uprooted-seats-become-available/

Huh, my, er, rooster ring is too big to fall down the drain.

Awesome! What are you writing in? I'm curious how the kids get on these days. The last thing I wrote was in Python2 using gedit on LInux. I just installed emacs on the Windows PC in a fit of nostailgia. I'm not sure I'd actually use it for real these days since I'm so rusty.

I've been learning Spanish via the Duolingo App on my phone. I was listening to a podcast the other day and when someone spoke in Spanish, I understood what he said. (Do you need a drink of water?) Don't get me wrong, my 2.5 year old has a *way* better handle on English than I have on Spanish, but it was a "waitaminute" moment.

My interest is waning lately. I think there are a couple reasons: - I didn't watch much while I was in Buffalo for the Holidays; too much other stuff to do. - Shortly after returning home, my PS3 (the primary way I watched) stopped working. I still watch using the Android Client/Cast to TV, but that's a lot clunkier than the PS3 method. I can't start a game at 8:30 from the beginning, can't fast forward easily, etc. - I'm pretty busy. Even when I did watch a lot, I was working on the couch and paying attention when something happened. - More time for learning, less for watching hockey (or any other entertainment). I have this feeling my job (in the industry sense, not my position) is slowly fading. (See below). Also, I've been learning Spanish and a few programming languages. I can't learn while the game is on. For those that don't know, I do a hodgepodge of IT work, primarily Linux servers, with a helping of network engineering, virtualization, and other servery/datacenterish tasks. The automation stuff that's maturing (think Cloud) is moving a lot of that work to scripts. There's been a joke around (a version of which made it into an episode of the Big Bang Theory) that my job could be "reduced to a moderately sized shell script". While that's not entirely true, large portions of what my job likely will be automated. So I need to get in front of that before it's too late. I have a programming background, so I'm trying to learn the automation so I can be the one writing the scripts rather than being replaced by them. It's going fairly well, and I honestly find it really interesting for the architectures that it opens up.

As long as doesn't count against the cap, I don't care as long as they doesn't stop them from firing him when the time is right. (or not, if it isn't) Don't care, no shootouts in the playoffs. :)
