Jody Shelley Traded!

Holy crap.

The team lost last night, which kinda sucked, but despite not having the top center and top defenseman on the ice, they were right in there until the very end, so I can't be too upset.

But this...wow. Jody was the beating heart of the team for a long time. Not the best player, sure, by a long shot, but he had heart and he always reached out to people. He's the sort of guy who skates around tossing pucks to kids during practice when he's not in the drill, etx.

So, now he's in San Jose.

tattermuffin, ya'll take good care of him, OK? I want to be one of the people who gets to see him doing well on the day we retire #45 in Columbus.

I do things like this because it keeps me from chokeslamming people.

All,

See the request below. Is the developer laptop the same as the standard one or do we get the SE config?

Proper answer: Standard config, because we don’t really do a developer laptop anymore.
