K-9

First of all, I wish you good luck in your continued recovery. Regarding the Sabres’ reluctance to approve of the ADR process for Eichel, it wasn’t that they thought it was some unproven, new age procedure in the least. It was that it had never been performed on an NHL player before. There simply wasn’t enough of a sample size across athletes in all contact sports to conclusively say it was medical best practice and Eichel was the first NHL player to have the surgery. As it is, there are now only three but the results are promising. And it’s worth noting that the leading proponent for not recommending the ADR for Eichel was none other than Dr. Andrew Cappuccino, a Sabres (and Bills) medical consultant, one of the first to perform ADR surgeries in the world and who teaches spinal surgery techniques to doctors around the globe. His opinion certainly carried a lot of weight at the time. Unfortunately, care givers don’t have the luxury of hindsight. Anyway, continued good luck in your recovery.

And a non-skating coach to boot.

Responsible news outlets were reporting on Thiel for a while leading up to the election, but the MAGA outlets like Fox and others never let their sheeple followers know a damned thing about him and the danger his ideology presents to our democracy. MAGA is the most ignorant constituency in history, especially when it comes to history; both ours and the world’s.

While all true about cheeto douche, his policies are based on whatever his puppet masters demand. He is the most easily manipulated president in history.

Interesting story about Andrew Mellon’s influence on Coolidge. The arrogance of the super wealthy who think their wealth makes them experts on how to better manage our democratic republic never ceases to amaze me. Our government of, by, and for the people isn’t a big business and should not be run like one for reasons I could spend days trying to explain. Anyway, I found this interesting in light of the Musk/DOGE fiasco. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/doge/100-years-elon-musk-one-americas-richest-men-came-fix-washington-rcna203584

Exactly

Smart kid.

Imo, Benson’s edge work borders on elite. And that skill helps make him the pest that he is on the ice. When he gets his man strength, watch out.

Last September it was $150 for a year (iirc) and I seriously considered it at the time, but I thought I’d see how the Sabres fared first before sinking another dime for my time. Well, my revolt against the organization crystallized as the season progressed and I gave less and less of a damn as it wore on. But as usual, the season ended and my thirst for hockey returned, so I thought “what the hell” and for $30 I thought it was worth watching the farm kids in the playoffs. I just didn’t see the point in watching any more FloHockey when the Amerks got eliminated as I have no interest in the remaining Calder Cup contenders. But FloHockey is a good deal, regardless.

Water. The. Tree.

Only cost me $30 for a one month FloHockey subscription and even though the outcome sucked, I think it was worth it.

The measure of a good team in any sport is how they respond to adversity and the Bandits responded like the champions they are. They were being tested when the Rush closed to within one and they passed that test with flying colors to say the least. Complete turnarounds like that are seldom seen, but the Bandits seem to do it with regularity. Let’s make it four.

And it’s been all Rush since. Now 7-6. Bandits once again getting worked on loose balls and those possessions add up.

Not too early for the third pair, imo. But I think he’s destined for a top four spot sooner than later. His trajectory is everything you’d want for a young Russia prospect acclimating to the smaller North American ice. All that said, I’m not opposed to him playing another year in the A, either.

Zero respect for Laval. Constant complaining to the refs and always resorting to the goon tactics. Screw ‘em.

The party of law enforcement my a$$. These pukes are beyond hypocritical. https://apple.news/AjlKIik13Q_WVDhWmoleGKg

And ended up with the same number of shots as Laval at seven apiece. Amerks got better as the period progressed.

Republicans don’t give two craps about children once they exit the womb. It’s gonna bite them in the a$$ when they examine the demographics of the majority of SNAP benefit recipients.

Classic episode.

Bandits lost too many loose ball battles last night. Gave the Rush too many extra possessions as a result.

Looking like a waste of money at this juncture.

He just pulls numbers out of his a$$ and his delusional followers just lap it all up.

Perhaps I spoke too soon. Again.

Needed a period to shake off the rust and wake up. Amerks look much better in the 2nd.
