1.3 percent positivity rate in NY.

I sent one in. It's $160 and 5% off all the "hogies" at Papa Scoop's here in town for life.

I agree a lot of the reason Hall is in Buffalo is Krueger. I wouldn't go so far as to say the speech made the difference, if that's your point. I think the business side of professional sports is too cold and rational for that to be true, although it's fun to think about it. The history with RaKru, playing with Eichel, the chance to set himself up for a big pay day, I think those ruled the day. I wonder what Terry's resting pulse is.

Side discussions have been a hallmark of this board. It's part of normal conversation if you consider this place to be akin to a coffeeshop or bar.

Any thoughts on Section 230 changes and how they might affect every corner of the Internet, even here?

Video scouting, everyone on a one-year contract, maple syrup packets from Cracker Barrel.

I got a qPCR result back in 24 hours, so I can't complain. But I work in a LTCF with a new case of Covid among its staff. And ditto on the best health wishes. I'd never wish the flu or pneumonia on anyone. ED, sure.

Ohhhhhh you know where this one's going!

Here we are almost to Halloween and a friend's four-year-old's test results took five days to come back and my friend and his wife could not get an OK from their doctors to get tested. But, like he said, they're not football coaches.

Conviviality! Conviviality! @New Scotland (NS) (Close enough.)

Cold.

There are few things certain in life. Death, taxes, when the traffic clears one way, it picks up the other way, and Rick being dramatic about his future. This literally goes back to the late 1970s when he started complaining about how tough the travel was. Anyway, no matter what he hints at regarding 21-22, he's not retiring. He'll retire from the press box to a pine box. He'll go from hotter than a firecracker to colder than North Atlantic salmon. http://buffalonews.com/sports/sabres/rick-jeanneret-lauds-retiring-doc-emrick-but-says-he-plans-on-returning-amid-nhl-uncertainty/article_75a364b2-1221-11eb-ae19-db7d475b6ebb

Welcome, chloewoj.

There's a bad moon on the rise.

Perhaps pitchfork some hay for a side gig.

Max. He was fast and fun. What hockey is supposed to be. I'm sure Analytics hates him though.

Better to let our memories of someone stay in the past. I wouldn't want my feelings about Ryan to be soiled by an off year at the very end, choking on shutouts, spitting out the bit in big games, whiffing on point shots, dramatically overreacting to goals against and calling out his teammates afterwards.

One of the all-time greats. It's too bad he got hooked up with a network that wanted, for some reason, to routinely ignore the game. Doc was dragged down the talent around him. Rick nods in agreement.

What a concept!

But I heard you're still smoking... hot.

The thread at the top is not random. It's the most recently posted-in thread. (If that's how you have your list of topics set up.) One could argue there's more randomness in having pinned threads at the top, which are subject to the whims and biases of the moderators. I am firmly anti-random, except in this thread.

I like that pinned threads are gone. Let the threads move up organically. Now if we could get a standard capitalization scheme for subject lines, we would, like the Sabres, maybe have something here.

I give you the ABC.
