My region is expected to be cut off from the rest of the world for a few days, as floodwaters are expected to close the remaining roads we have out of the area. We're not going to flood (the river is on the other side of the mountains, save where it reaches the coast), and I'm hoping that few people will along the river, but we may not be able to leave save by air or boat (and with the next bunch of storms coming, going by boat seems... unwise).

I figured I'd put this here, because it's really about a game and not hockey. I could put it in the Franchise Hockey Manager thread, but I think this will be best appreciated by Sharks fans anyway.
I'm playing the new Franchise Hockey Manager game, and just won the Stanley Cup as the 23-24 Sharks. In and of itself, that's nothing new - in a game in the previous version, I played the Sharks through 47-48 and won seven cups.
The Sharks beat the President's Trophy winners and reigning Cup champion Penguins in a five game series, winning in Pittsburgh in an overtime 7-6 win that the Penguins tied late with 26 seconds to go. The winning goal was scored by Tomas Hertl, his third of the night and 25th of the playoffs (he was on a ludicrous run), with a wraparound to beat Pittsburgh goalie and reigning Vezina Trophy winner Martin Jones (?!).
Hertl of course won the Conn Smythe. The path to the Cup was Edmonton (4-3), Vancouver (4-1), and finally the Kings (4-1) before the Cup Final rematch with the Penguins. They were weakened by Crosby having to sit out the series after getting hurt in the first round.
The Sharks were generally not dissimilar to reality, save that they were apparently good. The notable departures were Kahkonen, Bonino, Vlasic, Simek, Lindblom, and Lorentz; new faces were Eklund, Bordeleau, and Merkley, returnees Knyzhov and Chmelevski, plus Ryan Graves, Connor Ingram, depth forwards Joel Kiviranta and Sampo Ranta, and deadline acquisition Patrick Kane. Meier also resigned but has missed about 80 games over two years.
Of course, this is merely a game. I just figured some people might find it fun to read how it turned out.

It's pretty fun and usually fairly realistic, outside of a few areas.

Looks like an update to the board software? This is the opposite of ignoring a thread:
