  1. From astronomy.com...

    One of the more intriguing aspects of the satellite cloud measurements is the presence of fewer clouds along the south shore of Lakes Erie and Ontario. This reduction — as much as 15 percent — is due to the influence of the lakes, which suppress the formation of convective clouds along their south shores when cold winds blow from the north. Clouds form when the ground is warmed, but the air must travel a short distance inland before the warming takes hold. The effect is quite limited, as the map shows, and so eclipse watchers should also watch the weather and head for the lakes’ shores if that cold flow is forecast. This pattern greatly favors Cleveland, and Buffalo and Rochester, New York, as eclipse-viewing sites....

    I’m literally at the point right now where I’m just logging in each day hoping to see a title that reads “Developing Story, Terry Pegula selling the Sabres to….”

    Where is that guy that said someone in the Sabres front office said he might sell to the Wegman family.  
     

    I am thoroughly convinced that nothing changes until Terry is gone. This organization is dying for successful veteran NHL people in positions of power in the organization but it will. Never happen under Terry and we are bound for 13 more years of this garbage.

    Me too.

    It wasn’t so much perspective on this season as perspective on last, imo. We weren’t that good, and the 8 in 11 stretch to end clouded judgment, fans and GM. This year we are even worse than not good and it’s double as bad because it’s year 4, but we absolutely absolutely can’t fall for a run it back trick this time 

    I certainly hope you don't think we're in the midst of a run it back trick. Not to go all nfreeman, but they are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games.

    This reminds me of something I purposely do wrong.  When someone asks me how I'm doing, I say "I'm good" because I think saying "I'm well" sounds snobbish.

    An anecdote about learning languages and colloquialisms.  My (first) wife was Japanese, and one day she asked me what does "waddaya" mean? It took me a few minutes to realize it was the colloquial version of "what do you".   Kind of like innit.  We certainly can make it rough on those learning English.

    I am good is not wrong.

    The business COO and team GM would have to have some type of working relationship. He  won’t make decisions on the teams operations or player decisions. The team is still a business 

    I'm trying to think what the overlap would be. Access to players for promotional purposes? Uniforms?

    Coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

    I understand there is the business side which is the man behind the curtain and then there is the product on the field. 

    It is incredibly tone deaf for Terry to announce a new COO of the Bills and Sabres and verbalize that he "turned the Hornets around".

    He may or may not be really good at what he does. But fans don't really give a shirt about corporate sponsorships or the profitability of their venders at the arena/stadium. So to release a statement on your letterhead that the guy you hired "turned team x around" when they were really bad his entire tenure is super dumb when you are in the middle of the absolute worst run of ownership that the NHL has ever seen. EVER!

    Wow, Terry said that?

    Oh no, I'm agreeing with PA! 🙂

    The cut off will be around 93 or 94 points, just like almost every year. Teams *actually* in the hunt will pull out a couple extra wins in the next few weeks over their season pace because it's do or die. Plus, they'll play a couple teams that sold at the deadline and are just skating out the season. The Sabres max right now is 95 points. Win out and the Sabres *might* make it. No more losses, overtime or otherwise; it's game 7 for the rest of the year.

    Very good. But how do you say Stanley Cup?

    Not really. Cutoff will probably be like 90, not 95

    Probably need to keep it to 2 more regulation losses tho

    From a friend...

    You're assuming every other team plays to its season pace. No one else makes a heroic run toward the playoffs.

    Yet the Sabres who have 71 points in 70 games and are 5-4-1 in their last 10 are going to win 10 of 12.

    Because those other teams are ass, but we are not.

    This team does not deserve the hopium you are offering out the car window.

    I know he’s not going to make decisions on operations but I hope he goes into his first meeting with Adams and tells him the best way for him to market the Sabres is for them to WIN! 

    I don't want him meeting with Adams.
