Re: 2019-2020 NHL Season

I wonder how much the Bolts (and all other Atlantic teams) benefit by being in a division with Detroit, Ottawa, and Buffalo.

Re: 2019-2020 NHL Season

That organization is a tire fire. The one redeeming quality is Krueger, who has management experience (in soccer). I suppose having Eichel and Dahlin is good too.

The funniest part for me is the guy doing the coaching. His look matches the type of person he should be castigating. The other funniest part is that my parents and inlaws do so many of these behaviors.

Re: I need a new place to put my money under -- Mattress recs?

Ended up with a Serta (or was it Sealy?) Firm, plush top, King size (for the price of a queen). Only needed the mattress and delivery and take away of the old one, totaled less than $1000, and was able to 0% interest it for 2 years. Delivers on Monday.
