Talk About Dereliction Of Duty: EPA Off The Rails
Taro T replied to K-9's topic in The Oval Office (Politics)'s Topics
Purely out of curiosity, which statute defines CO2 as a pollutant? -
Found out my local watering hole that was closed for about 4 months for kitchen renovations ain't reopening. Which stinks. But went to the original establishment tonight for the 1st time and found out they'll extend my mug club membership an extra year; which is nice but would rather have the one less than 3 miles from our house reopening. And @Eleven if you ever do come in for trivia, it's now on Tuesday night. (Wtf wants to do trivia on a Tuesday. Wednesday's the day.)

Happy. I have serious doubts concerning UPL. - Today

In the case of Kulich, players do not typically take a big jump after 60ish games. Its a big reason why I’ve been preaching caution with him. Not saying it can’t happen, but it’s not typical

Sabres Announce a 10 year extension for the naming rights of Key Bank Center
JohnC replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
A lot of the young fellows don't know what you are talking about. However, the old hipsters with bad knees remember that political crushing picture. 😀 Terry Pegula is not very comfortable in the public. (Stating the obvious.) There's a public awkwardness that is very evident. He bought a sports franchise and with it goes some public events that he can't avoid. I'm not saying this as a criticism but simply as an observation. It's a shame that his wife suffered a serious medical event that precluded her from handling those public roles because she was better at it. I wish her well. -
You told them the naked truth! 😁

This has actually been bugging me a lot lately. They’re putting motors on every toy imaginable right now. People have become so damn lazy. I have an exterminator who keeps soliciting door to door, riding some sort of hoverboard. Other than the fact that he is knocking on doors way too often, I want to tell him that just seeing that stupid thing he’s rolling around on makes me not interested in his business.

If you add Kulich to your rising talent group that will be a fairly large group within a roster. With respect to McCleod and Zucker, even if their scoring production declines a bit, they still play a responsible two-way game that this team needs more of. As you note, the big question mark is UPL? Will he return to the promising composed form he displayed a couple of years ago or will go back to his panic style of play that marred his last season? It's the big question that will determine how the upcoming season plays out.

Jiri Kulich, what can he do in 2025/26 season
PerreaultForever replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
I was suggesting wing for him ages ago as well. I don't think his on ice vision is all that good and his thinking is a little slow (relative to the speed of the game). So he's indecisive and sometimes that costs him precious seconds and he also sees one wing but not both and then makes bad decisions. As a winger he could use his size and limit his focus to one side of the rink but whatever, no longer our problem. We will see what their coaching and camp does with him and for him. -
With respect to Cozens, I believe that he would be better at wing than at center. I also believe that the trade was the right thing to do for the player. It gives him an opportunity to have a fresh start and new chance to refresh his game. He was pressing too hard here.

People on e-bikes(especially kids) are nuts. I was on a secondary two lane road with a 35mph speed limit. Teenager on an e-bike was directly behind me(not off to the side of the road) and I was going almost 40. I didn’t even know they could go that fast? Most, but not all users, have become a menace on both streets and sidewalks. On a related note…why the heck do kids need e-bikes for? Has pedaling become too much of a chore?

That's an interesting way to look at it. Could be. Have to wait and see. They definitely created the mess they are dealing with though that's for sure. Have they figured it out? idk, I'd have more faith in thinking that if they had Rochester playing that way already though. and they don't. Imagine Tage Thompson actually running people in the corners and bumping them off the puck. Imagine what a force he'd actually be.

Sabres Announce a 10 year extension for the naming rights of Key Bank Center
JohnC replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
You make an excellent observation and point that the event was more to serve the interests of Key Bank that it was for the Sabres. The primary reason why they would pay to extend their sponsorship was to seek publicity. If there was no extension or no change in sponsorship there wouldn't even be an event. -

This what the Sabres hope for from somebody every year right? More likely it's up and down or one up one down (like Peterka and Quinn last year) and that won't be enough. Hopefully no Cozens yet. No guy who completely loses his game. As an aside I am interested to see if Cozens regains his game with a full season in a new setting and a proper training camp. Won't matter, but just one of those things you look at and wonder. -
reposts and quoted posts. The way twitter goes. It's not important. You have given me pause to think maybe it's time to step back a little. I just feel so negative about the lack of change, the lack of additions. This is the most pessimistic I've been about a season before a season, and I have been pessimistic over the last number of years quite a bit. I just see zero hope for this year so it comes out in everything. I need to care less.

I mean, frankly outside of Arizona, I'm not sure that there is less stable "home ice" situation than the Buffalo Sabres. Pegula also made a big deal about the roof Nobody wants KBC. The county has noped out. The city says the don't have the money. Poloncarz implied that the Sabres would continue on as year to year for the time being. Creating loads of hoopla around a building sponsorship for a building nobody wants to own is about as close as one can get to being a gong show. I can't think of a comp in recent memory to the Sabres/KBC (including nobody wanting the arena with an expiring lease) across any of the major sports leagues. -
I totally understood you were just playing along with the running joke, and don't begrudge you that. Heck, all opinions are welcome, right? I normally add a "not directed you" disclaimer when I just wanna pick at a point with broader SS.
