Rogers has a body of work that says that was an aberration. Josh Allen had 4 good games, and some last year. No one knows who the real JA is yet.

MicroUSB is objectively worse, the early ones the jack in the device would wear our quickly, so they stiffened those up and now the cables get out of whack unless you're *very* careful. MiniUSB had much more strength but was too thick for device manufacturer's weird thinness fetish. HDMI has never really bothered me. If we're going to delve into less common stuff, the DMS-59 connection on many video cards in the last decade is terrible. You may recognize the pigtail that goes from the video card to 2 VGA or 2 DVI connectors. It's more or less a rectangle, with barely any keying to make sure you get it the right way, but also has 59 tiny copper pins that are easily bent since one of the holes is blocked off if you try to plug it in the wrong way. It's one of *very few* cables types that I've repeatedly ruined by plugging them in the wrong way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMS-59

Maybe he's going for a DRIIIIIVVVVEEEEE.

I'm stuck with two questions: What is all the red on the ice? Eddie LeBec? I'm amazed at the two people on the ice being nonchalant about the whole thing. "Hey, the zamboni is on fire, I'ma just gonna mosey over to this end of the rink after a bit."

I have a feeling this one will make the news further than WNY.

That is, I had been wondering where Brian Blessing ended up. Thanks!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism It's likely been around at least as long as the printing press (see "Pamphlets"). Before that, probably just took a lot more work to create biased stone tablets and illuminated manuscripts.

I haven't see anything about Kahun signing anywhere. Still kinda wonder if he may end a Sabre, even with all the additions.

Still kinda surprised here. Crazy. Re the contract, there seem to be a lot of financial aspects that come into play. Without knowing anything outside of an article or two and thinking out load: ESPN article implied that short deals are a trend this year, which makes sense for both teams and players; teams don't want to commit to big contracts without knowing what's going to happen, players in Hall's position may choose to take a short contract for this year, light it up, and then hope that by next year things will be back to normal and they'll get more AAV and term Hall likes Krueger and Eichel Hall may really want to be here and there's a handshake deal in place that the Sabres will pay him after expansion Hall may be wary of the Sabres and will decide if he wants to stay Hall may like the idea of not shouldering the entire load himself. I don't know, has he not been the best forward on many of the teams he's been on? I know he overlapped with McDavid for a year, but otherwise I'm not sure the Devils or Coyotes had anything going on.

This is quite the frenzied tax discussion.

In Chz's case, it'd be Male-order, right?

Because Hollywood has ingrained in us men that if you pester a woman long enough, she'll ignore her instincts and give in.

This is a lot like the Allen pick. Somewhat out of nowhere, everyone asking "why?", and most of all, risky. It worked for Allen, maybe it does again. Not that way I'd bet.

I see it now, after making dozens of C's into RW, they're going to try it the other way.

I'd think they went to Tage with a minimum deal for 2 years, or this as an upgrade. More guaranteed money buys an extra year of cost certainty.

Probably. In all seriousness, it wouldn't be weird if the Sabres did/said something at the first game about him. Dude was a sponsor for a long time.

That still has a real "Basement Internet Troll" aesthetic nailed, LOL. (No disrespect to John, this is COVID, anything goes)

Man, this was my take.

Maybe Lawyer -> Law Enforcement -> Military Dress Up -> Trump \-> Golf -> White people -> Trump I bought some paracord for shoelaces a few years ago and unwittingly stumbled into a whole culture of "survial self-defense". I got Military Dress Up and gun stuff for months. Same with looking for a waterproof backpack for my laptop, apparently that translates to needing bug-out bags so I can run off into the woods for months during the apocalypse.

Maybe he just got sick of people reporting the "rumor" to him or whatever, and decided to put an end to it. Otherwise, he'd have had to tweet something next week like, "re Eichel to the Rangers that's burning up twitter, there's nothing there". This way it saves of week of hysteria.

Didn't Darcy end up out there? Yep, although left in 2016. Nothing to see here.

I agree. Maybe you get to 6-7 teams that you wouldn't mind going to. Then you think strategically and say, "I bet Team X won't trade for me, so I'll put them on the list and it's almost as good as using a won't accept spot". And, he hasn't retired... yet.

Oh, don't mind me then!

I'm going with quantum entanglement. Given the available data in a circumstance, you can make a risky decision and have it turn out OK. It doesn't mean anyone is stupid or wrong, just that a less probable outcome occurred. For instance, I can jump off an RV onto a table aflame with lighter fluid and *NOT* get hurt, but it doesn't mean the person telling me it's a bad idea was wrong. Josh Allen was a risky pick compared to the alternatives. It's nice that it turned out OK.

Or just skip a season. It's not like the NHL hasn't done it before.
