I'm not going back to pull it up.. but if I recall, Rossi had more points, but less goals. Quinn had more goals then assists. So, in one way, if you are looking for playmaker, Rossi could be your player. But, if you are looking for a goal scorer, then it makes sense to not look at PPG, but GPG, right? After all one aspect of Rossi's numbers has to be that someone else put the puck in the net. Assists are important, but the Sabres need goal scorers. I just can't get bent over the choice. The Sabres need goal scoring and the best goal scorer in the draft (according to "experts") was available.

I put a lot of stock into this. The kid hadn't necessarily decided where he was going or chose not specialize and I think that's a great thing to do. He's clearly improved since he's been dedicated to hockey. No one beats Byfield's style. ---------------- There's a 16U AA team in Rochester that has quite a few kids being scouted. I'm waiting to see if they begin bolting to other programs but they seem to be staying together. They just were invited to an elite tournament in New England somewhere. It's not always the level they play, but who they play overall. This team has crushed many AAA programs from around the Northeast. I mean, it's not a huge reach, I like the other players and at this point I think I'm just going to see what happens.

See, CO2 is also used to drive beer lines.. and that would be a serious problem. 🙂 Some breweries are actually starting to capture the CO2 released during fermentation and reuse it. Makes sense, there's a good amount of it released.

if that were the case then people wouldn't smoke, vape, and do a host of other things in public that can have impacts on others. I understand your point, but I think society is full of example where one person engages in activity that would not be considered "protecting" others. Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories people. Those categories of people who are not at risk but are forced to wear a mask are, by definition, being discriminated against. The support people draw on is that it's the right thing to do because it protects a group of people. I point to what I said above. We don't universally apply these rules and frankly, you'll get to the fringe cases pretty quickly anyway. People want to believe it's "obvious" but they do so while also accepting the situations like restaurants and bars where people come together and remove their masks. The answer to the question of "what's obvious?" is always changing. We're not all in this together and as time moves on there will be an even greater moving apart as to how "together" people are on things.

Fair.... you can also be linked in the advertiser's database. If you are browsing from the same IP, etc. The data mining isn't just at the browser level. Your ISP is tracking you, personal network equipment manufacturers track you, your ISPs core networking equipment manufacturer's track you and if you choose a VPN route, I guarantee they are tracking you as well. I'm just waiting for the news that some of the major VPN operators are backed by data mining companies. Woot.

The computers don't matter. It's the cookies that are likely stored and shared in your browser sessions and shared between the browser settings between computers that would drive that. As for why you see the ads. Well, there are no shortage of possible reasons, many of which could be pretty obscure. I don't even look at ads so I don't even know what pops up. If an ad is obnoxious enough to make itself obvious to me I am usually off the site immediately. The two times I logged into SabreSpace today I couldn't begin to tell you what was at the top of the screen. (Sorry SDS). My brain has been wired to ignore ads.

Minimum 4 years, barring extenuating circumstances. 🙂

I can understand the ease with which it comes to not believe anything, but I think the scope of it makes it harder to go that route. I'm definitely in the "not giving a crap" category. This is the virus, this is how it works. I've not the time to wonder the implications to the process, but then again I already hate the process. I already think we'll end up with a bad president.. so I guess I'm just to the point where let's get it over with so we can move on with the next level of hell the US is bound to descend to.

I thought about Buffalo, but I don't think that would be his landing spot. I think he would stick close to NY is anything and a potential cup contender. Would the Islanders be calling him? I think they might. He'd probably sign a low dollar deal to have a shot at the Cup. I could picture Boston, but honestly I think the Islanders would be the better spot for him.

Bogosian was no longer a plan for the Sabres. No one is going to get more from Bogosian and no one has. He filled in with TB.. he'll be a UFA and I'm really curious if he ends up anywhere. In the end, the Sabres let him go to a team where he might have a shot at the childhood dream. That's doing an NHL vet a favor.

No team would trade for him with his contract, that's true. I think they wanted him to have a chance to go somewhere and play in the post season. I think Tampa wanted him all along and so the Sabres chose to waive him, he chose not to report, all of that played out so he could sign in Tampa... a team that both the Sabres and Bogosian knew would come calling as soon as his contract and the money associated with it were terminated. The entire situation orchestrated to trade an asset to an organization bypassing the normal rules. Sure Bogosian has to give up some money in the deal, but he's more interested in the Stanley Cup chance.. and look at that.. now he'll have a ring. One might hope that the favor done by Buffalo translates into some off-season favors...

Until this team learns how to dominate after half-time they are going to be hanging on. It's been said before, other teams adjust and they do not.

Yep. Staal was going to be a buyout, but for the cost a 2nd round pick they were able to give him away. Better than the buyout...

That may be, but they are in the Stanley Cup Finals while those who dislike the way they play are left with nothing but to complain about it.

I play hockey.. I wear a cup, I've taken a stick to the nuggets.. you most assuredly feel it. I was on the ice for a few minutes after it happened... the cup kept me from being at the hospital.

That may be, but the issues that led to this have been around for awhile. The fact that Trump was elected only meant that they had grown large enough to be relevant. We've been a society hell bent on not listening to each other since at least 2000.

Fine.. fine.. if you say turkey, slaw, and swiss I think Rachel. it's the main components of the sandwich. not sure what got censored, but commonly slaw is used because people don't like sauerkraut.

I don't know much about Grzelcyk, but I know that when I am watching the Bruins play a game his name is said quite often, most notably as a positive of being involved in a play that's happening. So i guess I would be in favor of getting him. But that's all i really know.

really like this deal. A guy who wants to be here, has value in his FO% and his effort on the ice signed for the right amount. Let's be honest.. I'd take $800k a year to play hockey. 🙂

Sigh, you damn neanderthals.. Turkey, Swiss, Slaw is a Rachel.

Sure it's not TikTok? 🙂 But you know the real reason, it's because the Internet, and more directly, the advent of social media, has created the largest, most instantaneous feedback loop possible. So, no longer are we looking for validation in our co-workers/classmates eyes. No, we need validation of our existence on the world stage, at all times.

Well, you're not wrong...

Thanks, I try to ignore most everything that idiot says so I don't always see the references. I had not seen any headlines referencing it either. I simply cannot listen to him, at all. I'd rather listen to 100 hours of nails on chalkboards.

Can you please reference an article or some other content when posting an item of this magnitude?

This one is going to hit hard for a lot of people. You hope a 4th Republican can be found who believes no decision should be made until after the election and the United States has spoken. Naturally the push will be on to get someone slammed through. She battled the hell out of that cancer.
