    We definitely don’t have that problem. I ordered something at 9:15 am on Wednesday. It was on my porch at 3:30 the same day. Wtf?

    I ordered something yesterday afternoon and it hit my front porch 15 minutes ago.

    Depends on where you are. In Philly, we'd order stuff at 4PM and it'd be on the doorstep at 7AM. That was when Amazon was doing the gig thing and we lived in a townhouse farm. I assume the early bird got up, picked up all the deliveries since they're all in one place. In Ithaca, it's never that quick, although it's still within two days for most things.

    A shot in the dark here. Quite literally. Has anyone here found a good alternative to CPAP? I can't wear this thing. It's a peculiar form of torture. The face mask was a clear no-go. The nasal mask is better, but when you breathe through your mouth with it on, it's scary. The straps, the pressure, the psychology of knowing your mouth and/or nose are covered are too much.

    It's as annoying as hell, but I did get used to it. I will say my new one (after the previous was recalled) is way better. Somehow it doesn't feel *as much* like it's trying to kill me.

    I love Novikov. I think with the defensive depth in Buffalo now both Ryan and Nikita will be in Rochester for the majority or all of the year. Next year they will have chances to join the Sabres depending on what they do with Lybushkin and Erik Johnson.

    I think EJohns retires, going out with a cup win is a fine way to wrap up his career.

    LGR’s right. It’s the bread.

    +1, I'm generally disappointed whenever I have subs that the bread is kinda mush. DiBella's helped Wegman's set up their sub shop, so there's a solid heritage there.

    Primo Hoagies is the best bread of any sub I've even had and probably the best cold cuts too. Focused in Southeast PA, but I see they've been expanding to Pittsburgh, NE PA, Albany NY, and a handful in other parts of the country.

  10. Sabres Sign Defenseman Erik Johnson to One Year 3.25 Million Dollar Contract

    Interesting that when asked, what changed in Colorado from trying to build into a contender. He said, first we had to get guys in the locker room that wanted to be there and eliminate bitching, complaining and selfishness. 

     

    Sounds very familiar. 

    Who knows what will happen, but this *could* turn out to be a critical signing. Not necessarily for the on-ice play, but imagine having a guy in the room saying, "when I was in Colorado in this exact spot, we did *this* and my name is on the Cup".

  18. Sabres #39 pick: Anton Wahlberg, 6'3" Center

    Need them now AND in three years.  There aren't many in the pipeline, either.

    And given where the Sabres are with assets, this may be the right call. Fill the pipeline via picks, and handle now by trading current talent surplus (forwards) to fill the  holes. Sure, they could trade picks for players too, but then they'd end up trading the surplus players for picks years from now taking even longer to fill the pipeline.

    Is this going to be one of those Keith Gretzky/Wayne Primeau things were the Sabres get the lesser brother? Or just the same name.

    Dropping three rookie forwards onto an already young team, while shipping out players that are (hopefully) hitting their stride is a... bold[0] suggestion.

    [0] not in a good way

    Didn't say bring him up now, leaving room to grow. Has a FULL offseason to Build on 5'11" frame. Have a Full NHL camp. He can go down to the Amerks and start the Season but there are things Amerks can do to get Savoie to the Amerks, there is a path there. Bet Savoie in Amerks by Mid-season.

    Krebs is not a Sabres drafted player and Middlestat, Sabres can't afford to resign.

    I don't think Savoie can play in the AHL this year, right? It's CHL or NHL.

    I don't get the last statement; the first seems irrelevant and the second just isn't true as long as Mitts comes in at middle-6 money.

    Why is Qatar playing in the Concacaf Gold Cup?  Was there a major reshuffling of the globe that wasn't announced and now Venezuela is located next to Saudi Arabia?

    I think it's the same reason Australia is in Eurovision.

    Seriously? 20-30 yrs ago people accepted gays and left them alone?  This is a bad joke, right?

    "Well, back then they didn't say anything about their life, laughed at our gay jokes, and when we insulted people by calling them fags it they didn't make a stink. Life was so much simpler."

    🤮

    Thats a good question. Definitely does seem like my local Jets are opposed to ever doing a full tear down. The fans here are passionate as hell, maybe it’s a quantity thing, though? Winnipeg the city is as populated as Buffalo I think but the greater surrounding area... well, Winnipeg doesn’t have one. Small arena. Maybe regardless of passion, if even a sizeable chunk tunes out, our quantities are an issue?

    I do know the season ticket list here, once miles long, has evaporated. It’s gone. As I said years ago, the honeymoon period is over. Would a full rebuild further dent that? Plenty of the more passionate fans have been clamouring for a rebuild but maybe it’s just not in the cards

    I took a look and it's not really close. Winnipeg is 730k, where Buffalo is 1,135k, but as you mention, Rochester is another 1,054k. You could dig up close to another 1M if you start talking about Syracuse, Ithaca, Elmira, maybe Erie PA (but they might be Pens fans over there).

    You poach Swayman (although I suspect the Bruins would match the offer and then trade either him or Ullmark but you never know) and you have a goalie competition but the lean is Swayman 50+ games Levi 30+ , If their play changes that ratio so be it. If not you continue developing Levi as a back up and maybe 2-3 years later the ratio is different or you have one of them to trade. 

    It's simply an option worth exploring. Sabres shouldn't really care if they piss off Boston, they're a rival. 

    This only works if Buffalo keeps locking up players early. GMs don't seem to want to use offer sheets, but a retaliatory $13M/yr offer for Quinn (or whatever) would be annoying.
