Fucking Raffi.

Hey Lync team! My company is an O365 subscriber and we have a hybrid configuration, using ADFS to replicate our directory information to the cloud. Recently (July-ish) you guys issued an update to the Lync 2013 client that prevents it from working the way it did prior to the July updates. I have opened tickets with the O365 team but they don't seem to understand the issue fully.

Without getting too far into it as this might not be the correct forum for this, Lync 2013 seems to no longer allow you to log into Lync with an account different from your local login. It looks as if it tries to force some sort of single sign on when it detects you're using a local domain account. Example: I am SSmith on my local domain, but my email account is Steve.Smith. I log into my Outlook with Steve.Smith but I log into the workstation as SSmith. When I go to start Lync 2013 prior to July, I was able to login to the client as Steve.Smith and it would prompt me for a password, allowing Steve.Smith to sign on. Since July the 2013 client only offers a "Username" field with no password. From there it's my guess that you guys are somehow confusing the sign on using some sort of SSO process.

Can anyone offer more insight into this issue? I have worked with the O365 team for weeks on this without much headway.

I want them to make it work, because it makes for fun games.

The Olympic hockey product is 100% a degraded product without the NHL's presence. I wholeheartedly agree with you.

To further the conversation a bit, I am in full support of the NHL's position withholding players from participating in the Olympics. The IOC is a pretty corrupt organization and they ask for takes without any gives. The NHL (owners) have an obligation to protect their interests and a two week disruption of the sport without any reciprocating benefits coming back to the NHL is pretty terrible. As it stands now, the NHL has to stop operations for the two week period of time and they get no broadcast rights. They are still obligated to pay player's insurance (conjecture, needs fact checking) and there is risk of the star players being injured outside of the league.

From the player's standpoint, I can understand the frustration and disappointment because the All-Star break is basically the same thing for them, the difference being the NHL owns and controls that media mouth piece.

My big wonder, is how this is going to play out within the next year or so with the CBA coming up for re-negotiation. Bettman said that he (the owners) would be willing to make concessions, but it's going to have to come at the sacrifice of the NHLPA which could cause things to get interesting.

Hey Diana,

Talking about general hockey topics, often you hear critics talk about taking fighting out of the sport or doing things to promote scoring to align it more with the popular broadcast sports. What is your take on things like fighting in hockey and doing things to increase scoring?

Auxiliary follow up question, who do you side with on the subject of the NHL and the current stance with the Olympics?
