North Buffalo

I still lean to the party side of things, but I agree there is always a balance and see lots of hypocrisy on all sides. I probably agree a lot with you Weave and LTS on where I would like our country to go... personal responsibility and work ethic is important to me. Accountability and balance the budget are important and I agree that the military and the big corporations right now have to much power. Economic health I believe is achieved by diversity and as the quote goes from "Goodfellows" Spread a little chear" Corporations will always get their piece of the pie, but where money is spread around the economy grows and grows faster... this is about control from the so called Oligarchs however you define them and they use whatever tactics to retain power including religion. A healthy economy is not their goal, power and control is. In the US during the Robber Baron days, and the industrial development days it was the same... we imo are going through this cycle again and again it is painful, but it is not new.

Yea that one irritated me... like he couldn't figure out what else to say...

And when he decks someone, player get sent to Montefiore Hospital...

Jack still not hitting anyone in the corners... gotta be something wrong with his shoulders. If he plays this way next year... someone, maybe Risto or get Kaleta back and have him practice running against a brick wall a dozen times before each game. His stick handling and offensive control is awesome, but he avoids contact like hospital workers.

Trade for pics. Yeh would love to release, but trad for pics or pospects.

Interesting article on RFAs and cap hell for Tampa, Winnipeg and Toronto in athletic: https://theathletic.com/844448/2019/03/01/lebrun-looking-ahead-to-the-nhls-roster-altering-headline-making-offseason-storylines/ For those who have access

Wind sprints... actually all of the above and then hugs, participation metals... maybe flowers

Yeh but he wasn't in recovery yet.

Agree JBOTs could have gotten more for OReilly, but seriously f OReilly and his alchy depressive behavior... poor me pour me another...

Fair enough, forgot about McNabb..

Don't have to trade anyone, but need to trade a few guys or just release them... Sobtka, Scandella and Pommer, put Okposo on LTIR

Old school half these folks won't know who he is/was

Jack needs to sit and watch for a game and learn to forecheck.?

Doubt it, unless they have Salary Cap issues.

So who is the next long rumored player to be coming to Buffalo... can we start a rumor? And don't say Patrick Kane... Toffoli? Any one of the free agents?

A win vaults the Sabres up to a tie at 17th overall, a loss and a Rangers win drops Sabres into a tie for 23rd... bunch of teams 7 total around the 66-69 point mark.

Thank God nowget KO on ltir and call up Oloffson

Yeh but Murray seemed to miss or trade a lot of the guys who had talent. Compher and Armia are the two I would want back. Zadorov would have been nice to keep as well f OReilly and his alcoholic depression. It'll rear its ugly head again if he hasnt gotten help. Blyma only made those moves worse. Botts so far seems to be slowly doing it the right way... just need a coach who can make it happen. Colorado with a little more talent and a-weaker division is struggling too. No w if the Sabres are in the same place this time next year... and Housley isnt replaced then it may be time to move on. Hoping draft and at least 1 top fa signing gets Sabres close enough to take the next step. Still think Hutton needs to be stronger and Jack needs to go to forecheck school.

Ill start: Didnt have a choice... after my Dad left the Navy as a EOD Frogman, I was born into Berkeley CA during the beginning of the anti-war vietnam protests that melded with the free speech and civil rights movements that my folks became active in while my Dad and Mom went to grad school. Moved to Buffalo summer of '68. Buffalo protests were just getting going. Dad joined UB English dept faculty and local politics. Professors got sick of Buffalo police going on campus and harrassing students and professors. Former military guys professors planned at our dining room table to set up police. Lesie Fiedler (conressional medal of honor winner WWII) Richard Fly (special forces Vietnam) Fred See (Army) My Dad, Prof Haas, Charlie ? Marine, and more planned a sit in, 45 got arrested. '71 or '72 entire teacher's union for SUNY system went on strike. Gov Rockefeller was called in... kicked Police off campus unless real crime being committed and wiped professors record clean. Lit dropped with my folks for John LaFalce and various other candidates as a kid. Moved to Amherst started a PEACE organization at HS had a rally... whatever. Went to Geneseo for year and a half and was bored... took time off moved to DC and transferred into GW. Became President of Alexandria YDs and interned on AL Gore's 88 Presidential Campaign. Attended VA inaugural campaign for Doug Wilder, elected State Presidential Delegate for Bill Clinton. Finished 4th overall in Alexandria. Obtained first job on Capitol Hill Clerk for Office of Records of Registration and worked my way up flag pole working for 4 moderate members of Congress, Bill Clinton at USDA and Leader Tom Daschle in US Senate. Got out in 2005. Post 911, Anthrax exposure, sniper shooter, ricin scare in Frist's Office happened to almost go down that corridor and finally idiot governor invading DC airspace right before Reagan's funeral. Son was 2 months old. Told my wife I was done. Moved north to get away and decompress. Used moniker on twobillsdrive.com YellowLinesandArmadillos for many years. A quote from GOP whip Tom Delay... the only things in the middle of the road are yellow lines and dead armadillos. Trump presidency is sucking me back in though no intention of full blown activity.

Weave asked for it. Please refrain from political pontification... more timeline stuff.

As I went from idealist to working in Washington, Not sure its any worse, just more blown up immediately because of social media. The velocity of the cycle has sped up considerably.

Mot of what he said has been out there, he provided some actual evidence. Hard to tell much other than a few membes making themselves look bad. Maybe gave us some idea where the inestigations are going. Still defended Trump, both sides got some red meat to campaign on.

Always thought Murray was an Ottowa foreign agent... gotta blame the Russians er Canadiennes

Took me a day and a half to get back left tuesday morningat 2am suppose to leave at 8p Sunday :(

So the the Sabres should do a snow squall with a snow making machine or bring out shovels a pile of snow and a snow blower?
