  1. That is exactly what got me started.
  2. I just spent about an hour listening to the radio in the car and learning some things--from Schopp of all people. I'm starting to take this a little more seriously than I did a month ago; still not in panic mode though. Anyone know why we don't have test kits in the US like they do in South Korea? Especially since we had more of a head start?
  3. What happens to the meetup game? (I can't find that thread.)
  4. Several conferences just canceled their basketball tournaments. The president is not who I was referring to, and it is not BS.
  5. Rome reported not ten minutes ago that the NHL had not yet come to a decision.
  6. The president is not who I was referring to.
  7. Wuhan virus. If we have Lyme disease, Ebola, Zika, and German measles (all named after places), China can own this one; it is not racist.
  8. I'm sorry, man, I'm just not seeing anything amazing there. Well, his son's laughter is pretty amazing. And the dog.
  9. I read somewhere that it was a hoax, and now the NBA has suspended its season and the NHL may do the same. If the NHL does suspend the season, what happens to the draft? Do we see an equally-weighted lottery like the Crosby year? (I bet no. There's no incentive for the NHL to get a star to Pittsburgh and there is every incentive for the NHL to help Detroit.)
  10. I don't see what you're seeing, I guess? Just a guy putting slapshots into an open net?
  11. "Papas" isn't the word for "potatoes" in Spain. "Patatas" is. So if you ask for "papas," you immediately betray yourself as a New Worlder. Just like French, English, and any other international Euro language, there are different words for things on different sides of the pond. Brazilian Portugese is another example.
  12. This just sux. I hope you are able to get a refund and that you are able to make a different father-son moment.
  13. Oh, it sounds worse to the French! They just won't admit it because of their 1000+ year war against English. But it is an abomination to them. Also, I explained to a friend from Colombia yesterday why "papas fritas" doesn't fly in Spain. He was astonished. Just how language works.
  14. Definitely not. He can't afford to make enemies around the league right now.
  15. Sometimes I go too far.
  16. I don't. I have a problem with the implicit conclusion you are proposing from those facts. Let's not pretend that you decided to post about Deslauriers's uncharacteristically great first period yesterday, added a phrase about Reinhart, and didn't intend to implicitly connect the two. We're both smarter than that. Heck, even Rob Ray is smarter than that.
  17. It is the implicit conclusion that you are proposing from those facts that is the problem.
  18. I don't think he's any better than Biron, but I also saw Biron as how you describe Ullmark: a lower-middle-class starter.
  19. Ok. That makes it ok for me.
  20. Ugh. I did not foresee this collateral effect of the EBUG rule. Now every team is going to start anointing local celebrities as the emergency goalie, right? I can't wait until it's Janet Snyder's turn.
  21. So it's just the Sharks and Panthers that will play in empty arenas?
  22. You have it all here, folks. Clearly, Nic Deslauriers is a better player than Sam Reinhart. He's also equal to Jeff Skinner. Why are the Sabres paying Skinner so much when they could have Deslauriers?
  23. He's pretty good at it, too.
  24. My mother introduced me to Albert Brooks movies.
  25. They called out her name time and again, but were met with nothing but silence. She used her own hair in the soup to give it more flavor.
