  1. Daughter time trumps Sabres time. Sabres might lose 10-0 and then they’re on to their next game, but you and your kid will always have this experience together.
  2. Welp. This team is so damned predictable.
  3. Because that’s what they tend to do with skilled call-ups from the A. Rosen is the latest example.
  4. Well worth the risk imo. I agree, but they made sure to staple Rosen to the 4th line in his recent call up.
  5. I don’t disagree. But because it doesn’t matter for the Sabres, that’s why they should pair him with better skill. By all means, give him the taste, but at least make it flavorful for him.
  6. Another Amerks player on a heater in the A called up to play limited 4th line minutes with no comparable skill on his line. It’s nice to get a look, but unless he’s paired with better players, it’s a waste of time imo.
  7. There is simply no end to the BS Trump pulls out of his a$$. Trillions of dollars. Laughable.
  8. I don’t know about being in jeopardy of leaving, but you’re point is a good one. Canadians represent 7-10 percent of the season ticket base for the Sabres and 10% for the Bills. Canadians also do a decent amount of single game ticket purchases for both teams as well; something we’ve seen for years.
  9. WNY saw a 14% decline in Canadian crossings in February and officials here are worried about what the data will show for March. It is estimated that a 10% loss in Canadian tourism could coats $2.1b in revenues and upward of 14,000 jobs. I think it’s gonna be much more than a 10% as the numbers roll in month to month.
  10. Uninformed, lying sacks of crap. All of them.
  11. Disgusting. Elections are a farce in his country and not because of the bull$hit, non-existent mass “voter fraud” that the GOP insists always occurs when they lose (funny how it’s never when they win). Instead, elections are a farce because they are blatantly bought by the very rich who expect favors in return. And Citizens United open the floodgates for all sorts of dark money to be funneled to elections from foreign entities, with Russia being the worst. The principle of “one person, one vote”, the cornerstone of our representative democracy, has been rendered meaningless. But to actually purchase votes for a million dollars from individual voters raises it to a whole new level corruption.
  12. And pay $6m per year to a corrupt foreign president to do it, too.
  13. What are the odds that the man they admit to making a mistake on is the only deportee they made a mistake on? An innocent man, husband to a natural born US citizen and father of a disabled child, deported to a foreign land with no chance to get out since US courts have no jurisdiction, because of tattoos. TATTOOS! And the El Salvador president can only offer a mocking “tsk-tsk” to the judge as he collects his $6m a year from this criminal administration to take deportees from the US. And I’d like to know in what court EVER, the onus was on the judge to offer proof of anything. That may be the most absurd notion I’ve heard in this or any other forum.
  14. The responsibility is on us as consumers to discern actual news facts based on reliable multiple sources vs. info-tainment and editorialization. While that often takes certain time and intellectual commitments to accomplish, common sense is the basis for it.
  15. I predict many of the takes on Power these days will age the same way as those four year old takes on Dahlin did.
  16. Imo, since Power isn’t the dominant player I predict he will be in 2-3 years then no, we won’t get a comparable player in return.
  17. I’ll let you know if I agree in a couple years. And I’m more concerned with his hockey sense than I am his lack of physicality currently.
  18. He’s only 22 and D men, especially tall, lanky D men can take a while, so I’d say at least another two or three years. And a complimentary partner is paramount, regardless.
  19. Trading Power is something we will regret in a couple years. Byram can go yesterday as afaic.
  20. We’ve changed cultural attitudes in our history and can certainly do that again, just as Europe and most of the developed world has done. Cultural change simply can’t be avoided as societies evolve and the founders understood this well. Cultural change is not dependent on everyone agreeing on what America “is.” It’s more about the values we already agree on. The reason I point to the last 40 years is that it’s been during that timeframe that misinformation/disinformation and other propaganda have been disseminated to the masses across a much wider populace and more often and with greater speed than before, without any check in place. Freedom of speech, like our other rights codified in our Constitution, is not an unlimited right. People live in their own information bubbles and that more than anything has created these ridiculous culture wars and prevented us focusing on those things we have in common that matter most to us, imo.
  21. I can’t find much to disagree with here except the idea of moving to another country that aligns with what I believe. I’d much rather stay and fight for the changes the majority of Americans seek. I could ask the same of anyone who opposes my point of view as well, but that’s not gonna help anyway. I detest the “if you don’t like it, then leave” mentality. Gonna stay and fight to make things better for everyone instead. Interesting thoughts on the “culture” and how we are influenced by it. When our information streams are manipulated like they’ve been for 40 years, the culture wars are inevitable. It will take a couple generations to repair that damage, but it can be done. Again, another discussion entirely.
  22. I share the same cynicism on epic Sabres finishes to a meaningless regular season, but Quinn may actually just be getting back to what he was before his injuries so I’ll cut him a little slack.
  23. Can a goalie get any better of a look at a shot he should have stopped than UPL had on Philly’s first goal?
