A preview of the next 6 years of the league?

very short lineup, only E. Johnson on bench. Guaranteed he gets at least 1 point.

Pretty quiet around here for a gameday...unacceptable. Rich, how are these Ales going to stack up against the newbie?

You need to build a winning culture in the room.

Pu-lease, my team is the best on off nights.

I care. I love wasted points on other teams.

I should not have traded Iafallo, the kid's got a future.

I briefly considered going no goalies tonight but decided that would be foolish...

Put up a 6 with no goalies, and lose. Ffs.

 Notes:

At least the Rocket didn't start Philly

Golden Seals goalies nearly hung the team out to dry, but they hung on for the win

Whalers are averaging almost 7.0 per game through the first three games of the season

Huge score for the Blindsides on a six game night but they ran face first into Hurricane Arpiar

Still undefeated: Golden Seals, Lost Cause, Whalers

Three Stars:

3 - Auston Matthews

2 - Kevin Labanc

1 - Mitch Marner

Yikes, Dusters off to the 0-4 start.

Rockets and Broadway the other winless teams at 0-3.

I've set my lineups through the end of October. Hopefully I'll come back from vacation at like 11-3. :D

I hope so!

Brazil - Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

hah!

enjoy Zach.

Well, it's kind of a long story about why it's Brazil. Lol. Cliff notes: Guy meets girl, girl returns to Brazil, guy and girl talk every day for a year, guy and girl make plans to hang out in Brazil, guy books non-refundable tickets and hotel rooms, girl bails on guy. Pretty standard stuff, really.

Yeah, I changed my plans a bit since to spend more time in Sao Paulo, a bit less in Rio, and skipping a trip to some small colonial town she wanted to go to. I'll definitely be able to entertain myself in cities this big for two weeks. I'm looking forward to it. I will try my best not to get murdered. (I don't plan on going to any favelas.)

 Sounds like an awesome trip, I'm glad you decided to go anyway.

That's an awful thing to do to someone.

Also glad you are still planning to go.  Have fun man.

I went to Sao Paolo for work. We weren't allowed to leave the hotel we were at on our own. And when we travelled anywhere, they had an empty bus follow us in case ours broke down. It was ok but I have no desire to return.

That's crazy. Sao Paulo has fewer murders per capita than like a bunch of US cities. My understanding is it's a reasonably safe city. Rio is more dangerous at the moment. Depending on how long ago your trip there was, it could have cleaned up its act since then. I think I recall hearing about some sort of major improvements relatively recently.

I'm interested in it because it's so huge. There's a ton to do there, but certainly not a lot of touristy stuff. It's like the polar opposite of Rio, I think. Which is why I'm excited to visit both.

(And I know murder isn't the only crime to worry about... Sao Paulo accounted for half of all vehicle robberies in Brazil in 2013 ... but I won't be in any vehicles, so shrug.)

Wow, I didn't realize Sao Paulo was so bad in the 90's. Murder rate topped out at 52.5 per 100,000 back in 1999, compared to 6.1 today.

St. Louis and Baltimore are up around that number today (higher, actually), nowhere else is all that close. I visited the #4 city on the murder capitals list this year (New Orleans) and made it through just fine. Though I did have to call 911 on a crazy meth addict swinging a piece of lumber at cars, so there's that.

Sao Paulo currently compares to San Francisco in terms of murder rate per 100,000. A lot of that is how many people physically live in Brazil though, 13.11 million people in Sao Paulo and around 7.5 million in Rio. 870,000 in San Fran.

So, like I said...stay out of the favelas, don't do drugs and don't get murdered. :)

No interest in checking out Brasília to geek out your inner urban planner?

I thought about Brasilia, but it's so bleak. Lol. I'm not sure how much time I could spend there, and I think it's really hard without renting a car, and I'm just not that interested in that.

 

I wanted to geek out my inner transportation planner in Curitiba, where they pioneered the BRT (along with Ottawa), but that got cut out of the trip when that girl was still involved. She wanted to go to Ouro Preto instead. I'm angry about that. I thought about adding it back in, but by that time I wanted to spend more time in Sao Paulo and it would have been too expensive to add Curitiba (especially because I'm still paying for my stupid hotel in Ouro Preto.
