I want a new electronic deadbolt for my front door. I want it to have a keypad. I don't care if it has a keyway. Ideally it will integrate with SmartThings (probably z-wave). I haven't created a Matter network yet, but I could with my Eero Pro6e. Thoughts? @richardgunther.com

Losing 5-1 in a game in which your goalie struggles isn't embarrassing. Playing like this when you're down by 4 IS embarrassing. At this point I hope Florida wins this series 4-1. Forget these Edmonton clowns

I know they are old at this point, but I still chuckle at the VRBO ads with Nick Saban. He's soooo perfect for them!

Wow! The Leafs have NO chance of winning this game if they are going to play like this. Three straight lazy plays on one shift will land the puck in your net every.single.time. against a team like the Panthers.

It's only one game, but my pick of the Lightning to win the Cup is looking pretty dumb right now.
For the record, that is who I predicted to win. I'm rooting for the Leafs in the east and the Avs in the west.
