Well, hockey forum: @Richard is it "Rich - erd" or "Ree - shard"?

If you're asking yourself, "Should I stay or should I go?", I say you should stay.

Is the help several teams suddenly fold and are declared ineligible for the playoffs?

It's a tough sell though, buying 18 seats just to take the immediate family out is quite costly.

He's done it before, right? LR and DB I'm pretty sure, probably others.

Probably not, but we're in "these 4 teams all need to lose the rest of their games and the Devils need to be worse than we are ". I didn't bother to check to see if those 4 teams play each other, if so I *think* we're mathematically out.

Not being sponsored by Tsykie or Zwiec is a travesty.

And make them all "trucks" so the CAFE (and safety) standards are less stringent.

Pretty much. On a smaller scale, the same thing has happened on the roads, the current F150 Super Scrodozer editions dwarf versions from the 90s in every way, other than having an actual 8-ft bed.

It's a dumb penalty to take. That said, I think you see that play every game, but that cat wasn't expecting it and it caught him off-guard. Otherwise, they bump and both skate away.

The people that have benefited most from society can pay some extra for its upkeep.

I've only been at all close to the USS JFK, which is in Philly. That's only 80% of the bigger Nimitz size ships, but was still amazingly big. You can see it and Lincoln Financial field (Philly Eagles) in this: https://www.google.com/maps/search/philly+naval+yard/@39.8945654,-75.1803881,3071m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu The ship is a little longer but half as wide as a football stadium. (The Wells Fargo Center (Flyers, etc) is just to the west of Lincoln financial)

The rudder is so huge, it'd require a ton of people to even come close to moving it, and cargo ships don't have a big crew, either, maybe like 20-30 people. I think I heard 100,000 tons, which is the same as the current US aircraft carriers which carry around 5000 crew. It doesn't stop on a dime, either. It sounds weird with all the Boeing stuff, but if ships were built like planes this may not have happened. There'd be requirements for separate control systems and redundant power for this reason. This was a worst-case scenario, though; it happened at one of few places where the damage is spectacular. Most of the time if the ship lost power like this, it would run aground or be adrift in endless ocean. It was a really unlucky day.

I'll kinda miss the sneak onside kick.

I'm going to go with the above. The Sabrepede was ridiculous in a screenshot, but it wasn't as insane as a clip as they players were only there for a second (IIRC). The above is three guys taking themselves out of the play.

10-0-0 *might*. But even then, it only takes one of those other teams (just one) to win an extra one or two over their season average to scuttle that too. Max points 93.

FTFY.

Oh no, I'm agreeing with PA! 🙂 The cut off will be around 93 or 94 points, just like almost every year. Teams *actually* in the hunt will pull out a couple extra wins in the next few weeks over their season pace because it's do or die. Plus, they'll play a couple teams that sold at the deadline and are just skating out the season. The Sabres max right now is 95 points. Win out and the Sabres *might* make it. No more losses, overtime or otherwise; it's game 7 for the rest of the year.

I remember for some season the Southeast winner (Washington?) was just barely ahead of the wildcard team, and no other Southeast team made it. Washinton was the 3rd seed, since division winners were seeded first at that point too. Fun times.

This run is nice. The Sabres max for the season is 97 points. So they can lose maybe one and be relatively safe with 95 points. Lose 2, and it gets dicey with 93. The Caps are pacing for 92 points, and we all know how teams eek out a few extra points at the end of the season when playoffs are on the line.

Maybe OSP is pulling the strings in football failing to get buy-in for his "all contracts are 1 year" in hockey. 🙂

It might be a leap. Normally, if someone said to me, "well, we do things a little differently here" I would assume they think their way is superior.

It's this sentence. Not hard to read that as negative to Buffalo.
