I'm happy with either team winning the cup, honestly. Honestly any team south of the Mason-Dixon winning is OK with me.

I'm happy to share I'm caught up on the SBA manga. The pic is hilarious. Havertown is....a place. But a better place than Reading, which is also a place. The real people acting a fool pronounce it "reeding"
Sorry about the fire, man.
I love Havertown. I've never spent much time there, but I visited so many times as a kid it's like a second home. (Side note: the Barnaby's there got torched just like my house. I swear to god I was out of state at the time). Reading is also another place I love but don't know. I've visited many times, including a Royals game in 2007ish. One random memory I have is going to dinner with my family, only to find out that the place we went to charged for the refill on soda, and I had like 4-5 root beers. I was like 13 at the time and was horrified that I ran up the bill for my aunt/uncle.
The fire is a thing that happened. I obviously survived. I was in the shower at the time and escaped with literally nothing but a towel. (Side note: One of the very few possessions I was able to recover was my omnibus copy of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books.). My cat didn't make it, which haunts me every day. He was a fantastic friend and it took me a long time to forgive myself for leaving him behind. (Side note: everybody who reads this needs to check the batteries in their smoke detectors, ASAP)

Sorry about your kitty
I'm glad you're safe. Barnaby's burned down a second time you know...place is cursed!
Douglas Adams was a cool guy. I spent a couple of days with him on a book tour. He was always hungover.

Sorry for your loss. There are no words.

SELL THE DAMN TEAM
This should be a fun series. I’ll be pulling for Tampa. Coburn was a good player here for many years and Schenn, while far from good, always gave his all and the trade was certainly not his fault. I’d be happy to see both get a Cup ring. Plus Jamie Benn is a tool.

When will the 2020-21 NHL season start? All the options the league is considering
“Starting to be concerned there might not be a season,” one NHL GM wrote this week.
He was not being alarmist but merely reflecting the enormity of what confronts the league and its players as they prepare to move to next season almost without pause after the awarding of a Stanley Cup a virtual draft on Oct. 6-7 and free agency starting at noon ET on Oct. 9.
“Anyone that thinks they know what’s going to happen is delusional,” offered one team president this week.

This will be interesting, if Dallas wins, will there be a run on geriatric players. 
TB ran the Islanders down by matching their physical play, then out quicking them.
They have become the most balanced team in the NHL by adding forechecking forwards to a quick, skilled forward group. They always had a big defense, that got bigger and more physical with Bogosian and Schenn (as Coburn fades into the sunset).
Hedman is the most important player on this team, he's a f--- beast.

Wish Richards had been able to play as long as his nemesis Corey Perry has.

Obviously since our coach decided he was the right man to match-up against the other team's top line every game

He'd still probably be a decent 3rd liner if you have skilled wingers.

By taking on more salary in their last trade? Barzal would also have to choose to sign there.

Yeah, if they are determined to sign a veteran center for the bottom 6, I would take him over many other choices. Especially if he is okay with a performance incentive based 35+ contract

I would have preferred the other Minnesota center that just left town, but Koivu can probably give you decent defense when he's matching up against Barzal next year.
Frost/Patrick 3C is the obvious choice though.
