   Playoffs begin on Saturday, in case you were wondering.

We aren't quite that far off the grid. I knew that. 

Feeling something less than optimistic, but you never know. Just having a chance was something I didn't think the Habs would have when this first came down.

Not particularly interested in what happens. It's the Stanley Cup Playoffs* to me, this year. Then you have that whole fiasco with one of the losing teams from the play-in is going to win the lottery for 1OA and the potential of a team with a winning record all season long losing on a fluke (because anything can happen in a short series) and getting that pick.

  I'm just glad hockey is back, to be honest.

  As for the draft, well, it's been messed up for a while now.  One more year of clusterf***ery won't ruin it for me.

  Glad to see the Oilers bounce back from a putrid game one.

  The team is doing an online 50/50 draw during the post season.  Game one the total pot was nearly 750K.  I bought $40 worth of tickets this morning, and have watched the pot grow from 100K to over 3.1 million.  Half of that would be awesome.  Hell, I'd settle for 5 or 10 percent!

Plans for this week include reading the next chapter of Keep Your Eye off the Puck and watching a game or two to apply what I've learned about how to watch hockey.

Pretty happy with the Penguins game 2. The PP looks a little bit lost at times, but I'm left wondering if that is a trend that we'll see from a lot of teams? I wouldn't be surprised if the average PP percentage is a bit lower than usual across the league.

Also, it's scary playing a goalie that is playing as well as Price.

Definitely was an impressive effort by Carey. Felt like the Habs were killing penalties all night. It's the usual problem for Montreal, a total lack of top-end talent outside the goal crease. 

Glad to see the effort anyway.

Got back home just in time to see the Jake Muzzin incident last night in the Leafs-CBJ game.

Looked like he was about to get up after colliding with Bjorkstrand, but the trainers told him to stay down and they strapped him up and carried him off. Hopefully, that was mostly an abundance of caution. 

Having no fans in the building is strange enough. While everyone was waiting there was no sound whatsoever. The CBJ broadcast team didn't say anything at all for a long stretch. Made the proverbial minutes of silence we often have for various reasons seeming deafening.

Certainly hope Muzzin is ok.

Got back late from work last night and still watched a game and a half of CBJ-TB.

Just hope Columbus doesn't start wondering if they'll ever score another goal.

Is it normal for hockey to be on this early?  I put on the TV as I sit down to work on something and hockey's on.  Cool, I'll see if I can notice some things then I'll re-read a chapter from Keep Your Eye off the Puck to try to integrate it better.

Its not normal, but this year they're playing all of the games in just two arenas, one in Toronto, one in Edmonton, two big COVID bubbles.  So in order to get all of the games in, they have to start early and run them one after the other.  Today there are two more games in Toronto AFTER the one you're watching now.

What @DaveP043 said and you can also thank the CBJ-Tampa, five overtime game last night for that Bruins game being on so early. That was supposed to have been played at 8 last night but clearly the Blue Jackets and Lightning didn't want to give up the ice.

Not a lot normal going on with sports, but I'm happy something is going on.

Aha!  Nice.  Well, I'm glad that I can just tune in, might get to learn hockey.

Yeah, really.  I meant to get into hockey, several times, and I enjoy it when I sit to watch a game.  I was given some hockey books for my birthday in June 2019, and I meant to read and follow a bit in the 2019-20 season, but my limited sports-watching time was for golf and football, and both were running up until the shutdown.  😕  

I think this morning was my first time watching a game with an idea of what it meant for something to be a first line.

Hope you enjoy it. Don't worry, we won't give you a pop quiz afterward.

Really, hockey is a pretty straightforward game once you get the basic icing and offside rules figured out. The rest of it is sort of self-explanatory even if certain referees calling of penalties isn't. Probably a lot simpler game than football for example.

Also understand that TV does the sport no justice. If you got the time and money, hit up a game when the virus gets under control. Along with the NHL's Kings and Ducks, there are a number of minor league teams in California. Seeing it in person is a different experience.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
