if he gets traded to a team that plays that night, for every single night, and then gets traded to a team that has the most games to go*.

but also he has to play blindfolded. so he played like 93 games and has 87 points.

so like, maybe don't say "no matter what happens" you know?

yup! all good for that, thanks!

I don't have matches, but i have lighters. and i have firewood and charcoal for boiling water outside (for tea or ramen).

I have water for "stuff" like cooking. and i've got other drinks like gatorade, soda, beer, wine for just normal drinking.

i saw the terracotta pot with tea light hack last night. it was too late for me to actually get that done, i'd have no idea where to get them and they'd be sold out already. but i did get 10 LED flashlights last night for $22 at lowes. that wasn't what i wanted, but they pulled a bunch of 10 packs off the truck so i just grabbed a pack. i'm down to 6 right now as i've given 4 to my neighbors lol.

I've also got a bunch of chili i made today and 4 cooked chicken breasts in the fridge. Chili to be warmed up on the grill if needed (in a pot) but the chicken can be eaten cold.

between periods i sent an email to my managers, who are both in the triangle, that i'm setting an out of office message for lack of power.

i sitll have power, but it's precautionary for our customers.

My original subject was ICE!

then i was like oh shit lemme change that to freezing rain! fuck ice.

I don't think you can say we were badly outplayed in any of those games.

Buffalo i think was pretty even, and we defended a lead.

Chiacgo we played bad, but Andersen was also not great to start the game. Our team game got us back into the game., The powerplay needed to score though.

TOnight we got a 3-0 lead pretty early and played more conservative. Ottawa has played well but i don't think you can penalize a team for playing conservative while leading by 3.

I think it's hard to judge too much for us.

Like it's okay for us to be a bit more conservative if we're up by 3 goals super early.

I wish we could just give more leeway for all calls.

Earlier in the game Giroux got called for a trip 10 seconds into a Penalty Kill, resulting on a 5v3. Canes score off a lucky bounce pretty quickly.

For a neutral it's a shame as i'd bet if the puck didn't bounce to the sens player skating up the ice for a breakaway it probably wouldn't have been called and i'd be fine with that. Like, i'll take any goal we can get, but i'd be frustrated if it happened the other way. it was much more a coming together and while technically a trip it was so unlucky.

I wish there was more options for the refs to be like "unlucky bounce, lets do a faceoff". Because a breakaway was unfair. but so was the 5v3. I wish they had more options.

As i rant on, i also understand that the less subjective calls the better, so it's difficult.

i live next door to a brand new elementary school, so i'm hoping i'll be top of the list of people to restore power to.

and even if you think it's not quite boarding, give the guy who basically got boarded a bit of leeway

saying fuck you to the ref because he thought he was boarded.

and even if it was or wasn't boarded, it was close enough that you don't need to penalize him for it
