The Housemartins! New Wave... Split Enz & Squeeze

Seawaymax is 740x78. @ 1,000 feet long x 75' wide, the Laker Stewart J. Cort was built in Mississippi... 1972. How did it get into the Great Lakes?😉 Answer: "Stewart J. Cort was the first 1000-footer to be put into service on the lakes and also the only one built in the traditional wheelhouse-forward Great Lakes style (although all accommodations are forward, and the stern deckhouse is occupied by self unloading equipment and the engines). Stewart J. Cort started life in Mississippi as Hull 1173, consisting of only the bow and stern sections (and appropriately nicknamed "Stubby"). From there, she was sailed to Erie, Pennsylvania, where she was cut in half and an additional 800+ feet of hull were added."

*I wanna say it was still the 1970s. Makes the build up less painful. We ain't going a full decade without beating a team at least once seeing that they played 2 times every year. LoL... Technically decades don't begin till the 1s. Like 1/1/1981. 😉😜 https://www.almanac.com/when-does-new-decade-start "Our conclusion? It simply depends on the context of what you’re saying. If you’re referring to ’80s music, we get it. If you’re the US Naval Observatory—in charge of the master clock—the new millennium began on January 1, 2001. At the end of the day, astronomy rules the day, and calendars are imperfect. An almanac, by definition, is a “calendar of the heavens.” The Earth will continue to revolve around the Sun, cycling through the seasons." *NOT trying to start anything, check out Sabres thread.😆

Talk to @Mike in Horseheads ...Growing up his family was a Corning "test family." I wonder what his thoughts are? Honestly... I never broke Pyrex and Corelle... And we have pieces that are from the 1970s. Still use it daily.

Winning record is above .500. .500 is neither winning or losing. They can't be regulation losses. The only reason they move the winner point to the win column because it doesn't matter, it's neat and tidy and there's no 4th column.

Yeah... But they aren't playing real hockey in OT. It's 3 on 3. ShootOut isn't real hockey either. That's why loser gets a point. AND you most certainly can't justify or validate moving those losses into to regulation loss column. The game is played radically different in OT. The points even don't line-up doin that! Like I suggested above... Better to just split the points between wins/losses if you want two neat columns only. Anyway, winner in OT is just getting the extra winner point. It's 2 points anyway and can be added to the win column. This all started because they said Sabres still had a losing record. How is: 29-28-4 losing? That's .508 They are .500 now @ 29-29-4. Still not a losing record.

Fair enough. But why is it a loser point? Why not a Winner point? After ties were abolished, they went from 2 point games to 3 point games if the game reached OT. They should all be 3 points now. 3 Reg 2 OT/SOW 1 OT/SOL

I know. But the second column is for regulation losses only In other words, he's making shi... up! 😏

Dude. After tonight's game, they are 29-29-4. They just lost to the Jets. Where are you getting 32 regulation losses from?😆🤣

Back to .500 hockey! Happy now! 😉😜 😆

But they ain't 29-32.😆 They are 29-28-4 with 62 points and and winning % of .508. That's a winning record anywhere!

He did win the Patriots game for us 2 seasons ago! There's that. And you know this how? Cite your sources. 😏 But he singlehandedly won Bills a game against the Patriots. Doesn't that count?

Here has always been my suggestion. All games = 3pts. RegWin=3 RegLoss=Boopkiss OT/SOW=2 OT/SOL=1 +1. I was typing when you posted!

Sabres are playing @ .508. SOURCE: @Mike in Horseheads 😆 You da man!

But they have 62 points, not 58. You said their record is: 29-32. They don't have 32 losses. They have 28. OT/SOL are not regulation losses. YET, OT/SO WINS go in win column. Like our benevolent Canadian lover noted. Nice Canadian math. 3 point games, not 2. So, when determining a pure win/loss record, one would think the 4 points would be split. Which... Keep the equation balanced with 62 points. The fair thing to do is call it 31-30. A winning record. And anyway... 29-28-4 IS a winning record! 😆🤣

Do you believe 29x2=62? Two can play the old "3 Sailors on Liberty" get a hotel mathematical conundrum game! 😉😜😘

How is 31-30 losing? They don't have a 29-32 record because that's only 58 points. They now have 62 points. 4OT/SOL is equal to 4 points. Or two wins. 2 losses when reducing the overall record down to just wins/losses.

They are 31-30 = 62 points. 29-32 = 58 points. As of today, Sabres have 62 points.

What's my line? I'm happy cleanin' windows Take my time I'll see you when my love grows Baby, don't let it slide I'm a working man in my prime Cleanin' windows

I was wondering about that 4OTL/SOL Okay. But you're wrong. They have 62 points. 29-28-4 29×2= 58 + 4 = 62 OR: 31-30 +4 points instead counted as 1/2 wins 1/2 losses. Why can't that reduce down to: 31-30 = 62 points. The Sabres now have a winning record!

They are one game above .500 now. 29-28-4

Thank you Barbara Billingsley! You saved the day!

Stanley Cup Chumps. Easy Western Conference teams... Beat the Las Vegas Golden Showers in first game 5-2 earlier in season. 😏 Same thing in that game, Sabres poured in 4 3rd period goals back in December. Can't we play the West all the time! Gotta winning record!
