All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

"It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you" Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist pollshowing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.
John Hemingway(facing certain death): I want to see Buffalo win the Super Bowl.
David Coltrane(threatening John): Nobody's going to live that long, pal.
-The John Larroquette Show, "A Dark and Stormy Night", 4/12/94
HOWEVER, Buffalo has played 3 fewer games than Florida or the Isles. AND they each have 2 more "loser points".
THE question is will Kevyn Adams make any moves to strengthen the team in the short term for a play-off run? We keep hearing him say he is building a youth culture for the long run. That's all well and good until those guys start leaving for elsewhere too.

KA doesn't need to swing for the fences. He's kinda got his hands tied in the goaltending department. He has three goalies, one who plays less often than a football team, another that's struggling mightily, and another that seems to be developing, but after his lackluster pro career since leaving juniors, I'm really timid to say "this is our guy!"
The best option would be to see if Anderson would accept a trade to a contender. That would free up a spot, and have Comrie and UPL ride the hot hand. The other option would be to make a move for a vet Dman, but not like a top pairing guy. Someone cheap like Justin Braun from Philly.
And finally, if you do decide to swing for the fences with a big trade, use Mittlestadt or Olafsson as a piece, as their value may never be higher.
I was happy with one point. Dallas is a very good team.
So when they got the OT winner, I was thrilled. But my mind immediately went to "ok, when does KA make moves to address the shortcomings of this team?"
If you are going to beat central teams, please do it in regulation. Thanks.
I hate the manufactured point in overtime. This time, it doesn't matter for the Sabres because it was against a Western team but those extra points can add up, and it would frustrate me if I was a fan of another team in the Stars' division.
I've been saying this for years and I know I'm not the only one:
It should be 3 points for regulation win, 0 points for regulation loss. 2 points for OT/Shootout win, 1 point for OT/Shootout loss. Every game should be worth 3.

Just eliminate points altogether and go by win percentage.
Or "points percentage" not actual points (though it would add up the same at the end)
