Weave

This is the heart of it right here. Unprecedented is the correct word.

I haven't once minimized what was done in the past. But I'm also not using what was done in the past to minimize or rationalize what this President is doing now.

The audacity has been unprecedented over the last 3 years. If there is a measuring stick, it is measuring on a logarithmic scale. This is so far beyond what "is" is, or phantom WMD's.

A kinder, gentler Vegas these days.....

I'm not thinking a 3rd branch. Maybe a combination of Executive and Legislative to appoint the head of Justice so Justice is more independent. What we have now is a head of Justice that is beholden to Trump and therefore unwilling to act against him. I miss the days when Washington was afraid of the FBI.

Lerner appeared before Congress and invoked the 5th amendment. Invoking the 5th in front of Congress isn't really equivalent to choosing to ignore the subpoena to show up. Holder testified before Congress 7 times over Fast and Furious before ultimately being held in Contempt of Congress. Not familiar with the ignoring of subpoenas over the NSA spying scandal. Or Guantanamo. And LOL at continuing to point to some other actions by someone else instead of holding folks here and now to some standard.

It already feels like a Constitutional crisis. We've got Executive Branch employees ignoring Congressional subpoenas. Has that ever happened before? And if so, did the Justice Dept. stand pat and let it happen? Speaking of Justice Department, it's time to get it out from the Executive Branch and make it a wholly independent body. What is happening today in Justice is disturbing.

I really dislike this time of year. Drive in to work in the dark, and leave work in the dark. If the weather is clear I get to see the sky start to lighten up at the horizon. Ugh

Listening to the game on the radio while in my car yesterday, it took me a full drive before I found out who Motor is. SMH. Announcers should be mostly using real names.

Peca and Briere played 4 seasons for the Sabres. Drury played 3. None of the 3 did enough in that period of time to be on my top 20 list. Peca comes closest.

I'm a luddite when it comes to DVR. Never sprung for the service when I had cable, and don't use any type of record/playback device as a cord cutter. If I miss stuff, I miss stuff.

I’d probably feel more strongly about this if my team made the playoffs once in a while so it mattered to me.

I may be the only person on earth that likes candy corn.

Connor Sheary seems to have showed up tonight. Not sure anyone else has.

*Insert picture of dog whistle here*

There is nothing in Ristos game that I’ve noticed that screamed winger. He seems to do his best work in open ice, with room, and on the rush. IMO his worst work is down low and when he’s confined. I don’t see that translating well to the wing.

This team has simply improved its depth to the point that Erod finally looks out of space. He's Tim Kennedy. Nathan Gerbe. Jason Dawe. Dave Snuggerud.

Here you go...

An overseas trip and the hardest part of the schedule to date. Sub .500. But they won’t be able to afford to be much below .500 because the games will really start tightening up right about end of November.

Highly entertaining game. But I also thought AZ got the better of the play overall. Sabres had their moments (hemming AZ in their zone for 2 full shifts). But overall, AZ deserved that win. I think we are seeing more and more that teams are going to full court press the Sabres until they show they can counter it. This team doesn’t do well when pressured. I get the sense that RaKru is trying to make teams back off with the threat of the long pass. We connected on those early in the season, but aren’t connecting on them often enough now.

Mal Davis, Claude Verret, and Gates Orlando !

I've got Foligno ahead of Hawerchuck, but only because of longevity. IN an era that included Bob Gainey, GOAT defensive center, Ramsay and Luce both won Selke awards. And both put up points. I've got both ahead of Peca as 2 way centers, but it's really close. Peca was the Ryan O'Reilly of his day. Out of what's left after this vote is closed, it's criminal if Turgeon and Hawerchuck aren't in. And after that I think Vanek has to get serious attention.

You work fast....
