NP. Thinking about it further, I'd bet those records have been the same all along. McAfee bought MX Logic in 2011 or 2010, it's unlikely that in 2012-13 when all this stuff blew up someone would switch things to a semi-defunct hosting service. If someone found a server in the bathroom (or whatever that rumor was), at the very least the records would be pointed to something McAfee hosted, I'd think.

Cool, I'll have to look at my phone. I'm interested to see how/when/if they update the PS3 client; I do a lot of my watching via that. If they don't, I might have revisit building a computer system of some sort for the TV. EDIT: Phone is updated. First look: the game video does seem a little clearer, but on a 6" phone screen it's not that much of a difference. I didn't really watch enough on the old app to tell if the motion looks better. The old games I'm looking at, however, still have the blacked-out commercial breaks which really sucks. I haven't been doing it as often this year, but it's a lot easier to justify watching a 1:45 game after it's been condensed than a 2:45 game with 2-3 minutes of dead air often. Maybe that'll get fixed. The other odd one is there are a bunch of games from Wednesday (Buf/Ott) that are greyed out can can't be played. Maybe they started the migration too early and corrupted those games? :)

Like Buffalo!

The Preds consider the Hawk rivals, right? Here's a recent one: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/01/12/the-nashville-predators-are-continuing-their-anti-blackhawks-fans-crusade/. I'm guessing that if the game were in Buffalo, the fans would boo whomever Toronto (and Boston, and Philly, and Moe-ray-all, and ...) send too.

It's Vancouvers 50th too, so they'd probably have that in their favor plus being a larger, slightly more Canadian city.

Nope nope nope, there are few excuses for "going rogue" when it comes to setting up your own systems, and I can't think of any in this case that apply. The linked article isn't exactly in depth but it points to real issues with mindset of whomever set the system up. Having those ports open on the net says to me that the admin doesn't have a grasp on information security in a modern environment. And when I say modern, at least 10 years ago everyone with a clue (which is rarer than you'd think, I'll admit, even now) knew that you need to be very careful about what you expose to the internet and those protocols have no business being open. In hockey terms, this server has it's head down every time it skates through the neutral zone. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/10/14/hillarys_sysadmin_next_to_the_pillory/ I did a little snooping on my own (just now, it's entirely possible the records are different now than they were before all the kerfuffle started). The DNS mail exchanger record for clintonemail.com points to a system named clintonemail.com.inbound10.mxlogic.net. The IP address resolves to mxl145v3.mxlogic.net. This is all pretty common stuff, but if I had to guess it's a system at an email hosting company. "MX" is the abbreviation for "Mail Exchange" in DNS so MX logic makes sense. The site itself isn't up any more, but using archive.org I found a few juicy things confirming my suspicion. MXlogic was an email hosting company that was acquired by McAfee in 2011. mxlogic.com currently redirects to a McAfee Portal login page, presumably for existing MXlogic customers. https://web.archive.org/web/20110225212105/http://www.mxlogic.com/ Going back a ways finds the pre-buy web site. It actually looks "legit" on the surface, so relatively easy to be fooled into thinking they know what they're doing. It's possible that one of the servers was hacked by some means and the (rather unsophisticated) hacker put RDP and VNC onto the system for their own use. I'm not sure how likely that is though, since it's a pretty big "hey, look what I'm doing over here admins!" play. If I had more time (and wanted to raise more flags with my snooping than I already have), I'd start looking around that network to see what's open. https://web.archive.org/web/20100114035842/http://mxlogic.com/ So this is my guess at a timeline: Clinton Team decides to host email on a commercial service, choosing MX Logic (pre-McAfee buyout) for whatever reason. MXLogic isn't very secure based on the stuff in the Register article above, but few people look into security any further than "the web site says it's secure so it isu". MXLogic gets bought by McAfee. In theory this could be a good thing as McAfee is at least somewhat respectable, but it looks like the existing accounts didn't get u migrated into (what I assume) is McAfee's more secure offering. This is pretty common, old systems from merged companies often stick around for years. Unless this is all after the fact, I don't think that story about the server being at her house holds water. Is there any "real" article that talks about that? This should push people to think about who is hosting your stuff online. Just because a company exists and claims to be secure, try to find out more. I'm not saying small companies can't be good, but there are a lot that don't really know what they're doing.

Nailed it! (Although I'm not sure they purposely fed him that much, but I didn't watch) This discussion came up with the lottery stuff a few weeks ago, and that sounds like a bunch of money, but if you play it out it doesn't go as far as you'd think. I'm not crying poor for John Scott by any means, but think about it this way: Scott has played part of 9 seasons in the NHL, mostly around the league minimum, so let's say he's averaged $800k/year (that might even be high) for $7.2M. After this year, I'm not sure he'll be back in the NHL, so let's pretend he retires instead of playing for small money in the AHL or overseas. He's 33, so let's say he lives another 50 years (we're also pretending he hasn't spent a penny of the money he's earned, but if he's been smart investing he might be even). That works out to $144k per year. He's not poor, but he's not exactly rolling in it for the rest of his life, especially with 4 kids to get through school. Obviously, investing, other jobs, wife works, etc. add to that total, but it's not like he's living in a mansion the rest of his life with a stable of exotic cars unless he finds a niche that pays well. It may also be why a lot of the commentary guys and whatnot you still see around the game after they're retired. A big star has the option to retire and do whatever. The borderline guys to a certain degree need to punch a clock and if they came up through Juniors, don't have much education to fall back on.

Some will admit something is happening (because they actually believe science), but for the most part none will allow it's man made. Personally, I don't say it *IS* man-made, but it sure looks like it. The flip side is, we should do what we can to eliminate our contributions in case it is man-made and if it's not, oh well. It's like if you're in an out of control car; the deniers are essentailly, "we're screwed! save me!" as they let go of the wheel. Those that think it's man-made are trying to wrestle the car back into control, even if it doesn't work.

Sanders supporters are a cult, and taxes cause global warming.

I don't think Neil is in the same class there, but I get your point. My counter would be that, let's say you take guys out of the league that are better at fighting than other hockey skills. By the time you're down to the 4th line, how much cap space and availability do you think there will be for quality players to put in there? I think you end up with guys that skate around ineffectively for 8 minutes a game. I'm not sure that's better than a line of guys that go out and bump and sometimes fight. Or to put it another way, if you open up 30-60 places for guys that aren't fighters, a guy like Matt Ellis or COR is back in the NHL.

Based on my Facebook feed, Bernie Sanders is really making headway. More of the posts from my Republican friends attack him than Clinton now.

I wonder if that would be the case it there were routinely 3-4 fights per game, and most of those grappling affairs where neither guy really shows any plan or skill fighting. You know, like NHL goals these days. :)

[Mumbling] crap, it's 3 already?

And that's different from today's hockey systems how? We get all the boring calculated play of rigid offensive systems, but none of the excitement of watching skill players have space to play. I guess the question, do teams use the "Soviet" style in the KHL? I haven't watched a KHL game so I don't know what it looks like.

There were on the train I rode back in 2013.

Just pointing out that while we did beat De-twa after being down 2-1, those comebacks are getting fewer and far between. It'd be interesting to see records for teams than at any point in a game trailed now vs. during the days of a more open game (05-07, 80s, 90s). There's only so many games you'll sit through when once your team goes down a goal or two you know there's almost no chance of seeing them come back. If you want to look at numbers and pictures of numbers: http://www.sportingcharts.com/articles/nhl/average-goals-scored-per-game-in-the-nhl.aspx

Losing record, not lose every game.

It's a numbers game and unpredictability. I don't see where the draft picks are listed, but lets say in the last 20 years, there have been 300 top-15 picks. There have been over 3600 not-top-15 picks. Even if the breakdown is 50/50 (I'd guess that's high for the non-top-15). The NHL draft after the first few is a crap shoot, it really is. It's not like GMs are getting to the 4th round and saying, "hmm, no one picked this guy yet, but we're sure he's going to be in the top-50 some day". It's luck. Good scouting can shift things slightly in your favor, but I just can't believe GM that picks some all star 6th but non-factors in the 2nd thru 5th knew what was going to happen.

It's 500 in Roman numbers. I assume that's a reference to Mercedes SL or GL 500. (;))

I'm pretty sure this is correct. Even more, burning a season of his eligibility on a season that's all but "over" is a poor way to become a good team down the road.

How about the NHL steers into this and puts in some extra skills competitions. They could get the punch-o-meter from Rocky 4. They could adapt a mechanical bull and make the players grapple with it and stay on their skates for 30 seconds. #JohnScottSkills

He's and the Flames are in a pickle. He either needs to say, I was fine and I hit the linesman. Or, I was concussed and didn't know. The former he's in a world of hurt. The latter he and the Flames are in a world of hurt for ignoring the concussion.

Frankly, I haven't read a dud on there yet. I'm surprised I haven't found their complete list and read them all. There's a Shawn Merriman one about the ProBowl that popped up today and it's good too (might be a year or two old though).

Funny, dusty here too.

I don't think anyone was really saying the bump was the interference, it was the stick that lifted up and pushed back Lehner's right pad. I thought the challenge had a shot from that standpoint. The puck went in on that side of Lehner, but I can't remember if it was elevated or not. it's pretty reasonable to say that a stick under a pad would inhibit movement on that side.
