Florida State and Auburn are only allowing students to attend their home openers.

They have about 41,000 students and staff. 560 is 1.4% of the that. Sounds about right.

Stars 5 Avalanche 2 Down 2-0 in the second, Dallas scores 4 consecutive goals in that period. The goal in the third was an empty netter from behind their own end line with 20 seconds to go in the game. It kind of epitomized the night for the Stars. Colorado, with goalie Philip Grubauer and defenseman Erik Johnson out in definitely, has a rough row to hoe to get back in this one. Dallas leads the series 2-0.

That should prove interesting. There has to be some kind of priority points method to determine ticket holder ranking. I know at UK and USF there is a points system based on donation level, season tickets purchased, consecutive years purchase, attendance, road games tickets purchased, and various other data. I wonder if the season ticket holders will get priority over students. Obviously there will be no single game tickets.

Islanders 4 Flyers 0 New York broke open a 1 goal game in the 3rd. New York leads the series 1-0.

Golden Knights 5 Canucks 0 Even with Vegas only scoring once in the first period, this game never looked close. Vegas leads the series 1-0.

How many season tickets has UofL sold?

Bruins 3 Lightning 2 The Bruins built a 3-0 lead then held off the Bolts late in the 3rd. Boston leads the series 1-0.

Stars 5 Avalanche 3 Colorado goalie Philip Grubauer was injured in the second period and had to be helped from the ice. Leg injury of some type. Dallas leads the series 1-0.

Does anybody want to go to NOLA for the week, tomorrow?

Denis Phillips... "No words."

I know of at least one place where a Speedway is currently on the opposite side of the street from a 7-11. For what it is worth, I get better gas prices from Shell. Last week, with my Fuel Reward Gold discount, dining discount, T-Mobile discount, and Shell pay 4th fill-up discount, I saved over 70 cents a gallon, paid $1.06/gallon to fill up the truck.

I went out to eat at restaurant the other morning for the first time in over 2 months. I still find it absurd to wear a mask from the entrance to sitting at a table, but everybody appeared to be complying.

Marco is the 13th named storm of the season. In 2005, the year with the most named storms in history (28), the 13th named storm was Maria which became a tropical storm on September 2nd.

The games start tonight. Dallas (4) vs Colorado (2) Vancouver (7) vs Vegas (1)

The fun starts Sunday. Boston (4) vs Tampa Bay (2) New York Islanders (7) vs Philadelphia (1)

Canucks 6 Blues 2 Vancouver wins the series 4-2. Vancouver is now Canada's last hope for the cup. The last time a team from Canada won the Stanley Cup was the 1992/93 Montreal Canadians. 27 years ago. Since 1993 only 5 Canadian teams have played in the Cup Finals. Vancouver was the last, that in 2011.

Flyers 3 Canadians 2 Philadelphia wins the series 4-2.

25. 27 if you count that I saw Gremlins 3 times the first week it was out. I was dating 3 women at the time and I every one insisted on seeing it. Oddly enough, I none of them were Mrs. S. 🙂

Tropical depression 14 is expected to become Tropical Storm Marco. If both storms become hurricanes, as expected, it will be the first time in history 2 hurricanes have been in the Gulf at the same time. The weirdness that is 2020 keeps on rolling.

Stars 7 Flames 3 Calgary jumped out to a 3-0 lead within the first 7 minutes of the game. The Dallas scored 7 straight, 4 by Denis Gurianov to seal game 6. Dallas wins the series 4-2.

Where as I like walking around in my underwear. I don't want to dress unless I have to.

I don't even keep my server room at work at 68. I keep it at 70 with 47% humidity. When I have to stay in the computer room for an extended period of time, I have to wear a jacket.

We keep ours at 75 and on cool, year round, except when RTS is down here. Then it goes down to 72. It is extremely rare for us to use the heat pump. In fact, I don't think we have used heat in more than 5 years.

Islanders 4 Capitals 0 New York wins the series 4-1. Washington is the first of the top 4 seeds from either conference to be eliminated.
