North Buffalo

Death rates are delayed too wait another 2-4 weeks plus fla under reporting... lots of heart attacks, PEs and brain thrombosis/embolisms due to covid. Look at deaths above norm

The prep sucks but going under is easier hope it went well. Just pmd you to send ticket reimbursement. Gonna be a while before I can go to a game.

Actually they were used, not to capacity, but they were used and at the height it wasnt clear that it was going to stop going up. Hospitals were shipping pts everywhere even up state. Not saying it was a good decision... more out of desperation and couldve been thought thru better.

Yeah the hard part in that decision was NYC was nearing bed capacity at the time. Bad decision but a damned if you did or didnt.

Not sure, yes if they ask. In our area so many people have been tested including anti bodies. If they show any symptoms yes and are put on sfc status until results and treated as if. From my perspective we treat them all as if.

The Toronto Carolina thing is such BS I think all Sabres fans should boycott those games and ps not sell tickets to Toronto fans assuming anyone is allowed in anyway.

The curse of 8th... trade it

So hoping Sabres get 2nd pick and pick Byfield. Lottery to be decided 8p Friday... https://www.nhl.com/news/alexis-lafreniere-future-will-be-clearer-after-nhl-draft-lottery/c-317256950?tid=277764372

Total troll job and clickbait nothing to see here but Bastan media being bored.

Happy Fathers day hanging with my two boys up in western Massachusetts. Doing a little carpentry, mostly relaxing and going to hit some balls later at the driving range.

Based on interviews I have seen of Casey and despite his talent I question his attitude... not sure if coaching can find the right buttons to motivate him... hopefully they can but he seems too immature still. Someone needs to light a fire under this guys arse. Could be just hand holding and encouraging more not sure and occasional fire but the kid needs to grow up... too much awe shucks... not enough fire in the belly... bit like Sam early on... so there is hope... imo kid is extremely talented but.

Interesting all of it but we have no idea if these changes will work. Sorry to see Chris Taylor leave, thought he coached and developed guys well. That being said wondering if Ralph has someone in mind and obviously Botts had a huge blind spot for finding/evaluating offensive talent not in a good way. Pegulas have a mindset in mind and seem to be looking for the hockey version of McD/Beane combo. KA started on right foot as far as saying the right things but we will see how he performs. Sabres need a guy on the inside though that can be a mover and shaker in a good way, smart and effective. All the guys they have hired have been smart imo... effective not so much... they all have had glaring blind spots that have cost them. Hopefully Adams is able to minimize thru bringing in people effective in areas he is not and minimize or be flexible to id possible blind spots. The Bills' Beane seems to be able to ID those areas of critical need, prioritize different levels of talent, their value, and McD able to flexibly make it work. The Sabres need that in a hockey version. Again show me.

Again another show me situation... we shall see?

Woah late to the party but woah

Wife found old knock hockey table I build over 10 years ago, bought some sticks and pucks, and the battles ensued.

Ducky... so miss fresh fish

Yeh forgot about Johannsen... put him at C2, Cozens C3 with Mitts and TT. See what happens.

The protesters, the one's not looting for fun and profit are genuinely pissed... may take a while to organize and figure out what they want... right now pure anger and understandably so. Too many B.S. cops and not enough good one's outting them. System needs to do a better job screening them and checking in regularly to see what their mental state is. Can't prevent all yahoos... but gotta be better than this...

Forgot about Ok... true... So top lines Sabres have Jack, Sam, Ollie... 2nd Skinner probably Cozens and Kahun... 3rd what TT, Mitts and Simmonds? or some other more experienced garbage... Would rather see Cozens on third line with Mitts and maybe Simmonds... leaving Skinner and Kahun without a center... am I forgetting someone?

Though a forth line of Larry, Girgs and Simmonds sounds good... problem is the second and third lines of who exactly? Wash rinse repeat last year...

Though starting to see more suspected cases down county... nowhere near as bad but on the rise.

Went down the rabbit's hole last night.... This guy ranked Buffalonian Billy Sheehan!

Can't answer with the above options. I think there are not far off, but as others have said in other posts, they aren't too far off... but need multipe forwards that have some moxy and talent... Cozens appears to have it... and the D and goalies seem to be coming along... but Botts seems to have little clue on how to find forwards with talent unless just handed to him. Mitts meh too affable and not enough drive... sounds like he is on Valium... not much else in the cupboard... Coach seems decent... just wondering what the linch pin will be to get them over the top to be a competitive team... Sigh... so right direction in certain areas but not much on offense.

I wear an N95 mask under my cloth mask at work to preserve it a bit because we only get one a shift... Not great, but when this first started we were told to keep each one for a week... I managed to scavenge one for each shift... not ideal and PPE gowns were worn for a week. It was crazy... not surprised I got sick and glad I got better to quote Monte Python... I'm not dead... and by better, I mean health wise. Mentally, I guess I was prepared better than most having gone thru 911 in DC, anthrax and the sniper shooter and the Ricin scare as well. So the PTSD stuff seems a little less, plus I see my colleagues regularly so it means I actually have some socialization. Still stopped at a gas station to pick up some things and at the mini mart a lady walked in without a mask... frickin idiot. I said something... she didn't seem to care and the night worker had a mask hanging from 1 ear.. Guess I won't be going back there anytime soon. Cloth masks do help if double layered things from infecting others. So if you ask me will there be a second wave... I am can see it happening.

Who me... not that pios
