    - another player has to sit in the box to serve his minor. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 19:13 2
      - and I think it has to be someone on the ice at the time of the infraction. -- nm - mafic Mar 27, 19:16 1
        
        I believe you're correct. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 19:17
- Now a Kraken got 2 for slashing. So the power play is over. -- nm - crash davis Mar 27, 19:07 2
  - Okay, I see how that would play out. Grubauer pulled and replaced, btw, for giving up 4. He frustrates me very much. -- nm - crash davis Mar 27, 19:11 1

      - Union or league? -- nm - znufrii Mar 27, 17:03 5
        
        union, according to wikipedia. I was aware they had won a championship (2, actually), but I never here about their games or much else. -- (link) - psilotum Mar 27, 18:55 1
        
        A quick scan of that page convinces me that I am right. I know nothing about rugby. -- nm - crash davis Mar 27, 19:01
        
        Major League Rugby which I did not know was a thing. Evidently the Seattle Seawolves are undefeated and the Dallas Jackals are winless. -- (link) - crash davis Mar 27, 18:30 1
        
        That's cool. Didn't realize there was a team in Seattle. Philly had a rugby league team that played locally here, went to a couple games back in the day. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 27, 19:40

I can’t decide if I should cash out my UConn bet or try to hedge against it. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 27, 15:11 7
- What’s the cash out and what’s the full value? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 27, 15:22 4
  - I bet $5. Can cash out at $45. If they win it’s $95 - Volnelk Mar 27, 17:28 3
    - 8-1 cash out is still pretty good—anything that is more than doubled your original bet is awesome -- nm - Flavorize Mar 27, 17:37 2
      - Right. Though 18-1 would be pretty cool too. But I figure take the money and bet it on something else. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 27, 17:48 1
        
        nobody ever went broke taking a profit. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 18:44
- I will say that I think UConn is the best team left. They've looked pretty great in the tournament. But of course that means nothing. -- nm - pmb Mar 27, 15:17
