    Thank you Mr. Amerk!

    I have read quite a bit on this board about trading the pick for a proven player. I am not against it, but I wonder how we pry a good youngish proven player from other teams. The players we want are the players they will want to keep.
     

    I read a lot about the 2C role and it’s important and we need it badly, but from what I see, if we have a top 5 or even top ten goaltender we are in the playoffs. We give up too many soft goals, and it hurts us on the PK as well. After the performance of our backup last year, we need another option.

    Just a couple thoughts. Glad to be part of the group here. Let’s go Buffalo!

    Welcome to the board!

    Regarding the backup goalie, we may be stuck with Hutton for the year.  Maybe his vision problem has been corrected.  But at a cap hit of $2.75 mil, the present penny pinching Pagulas (alliterative homage to the late Irv Weinstein), and Hutton turning 35 in December, I see another team wanting him doubtful.  And since the Amerks seem to be on a youth/development movement, all Hutton would do if demoted would be to take ice time from the youngsters (or pay him to do nothing).

     F 2020!!!!!!!!

    You got that right.  They say hindsight is 2020.  I can't wait for 2020 to be in our hindsight.  This year feels like the longest year of my 58.  The hits just keep coming.

    I also like the home of CR7 a lot ... Madeira, Portugal.  I will find some pictures.

    I've been researching Madeira for some time.  Sounds like a stable government, great people, great weather, great beaches, great affordable healthcare, great golf, great food and wine..  If the next election doesn't go the way we prefer, my wife and I are seriously considering Madeira.  Ethnocentrism can be a limiting curse.

    The Rockies in Colorado

    Pacific coast highway

    Grand Canyon

    Lake Tahoe

    Ralph Wilson Stadium

    Paris

    Monte Carlo

    Swiss Alps

    Ring of Kerry in Ireland

     

    I've been to 5 of those places.  They are great.  Never been to Europe.  But I did live in Las Vegas, so can I count the Paris and Monte Carlo casinos??  For that matter, can I count the Venetian casino as well??

    My favorite place  is on I-70 in from Green River to Salina in Utah.  58 miles of absolutely nothing.  No gas stations or exits.  Just great desert scenery and solitude. There are signs that warn you that, "This the last exit for the next 58 miles."  Best have a good car, plenty of gas and a good bladder

    I used to go to the one on Elmwood and Summer for lunch when I was in HS.

    I went to the one in NT close to the Mid-City Plaza in high school .  The fish wasn't bad and the chips were really good.  The best part is that my buddy worked there, so I got my fish just the way I liked it: FREE.

    I don't know about NY as a whole, it is certainly a western NY thing.

    I remember H. Salt Fish and Chips and Arthur Treachers fast food fish places.  That's how old I am.  But, I have never set foot in a Long John Silver's.

  7. My biggest complaint, as an expat of WNY, is the size of out-of-state restaurant's wings.    Paper clip size.  But Frank's is Frank;s , so I just order more.  And if they ask me if I want Blue Cheese or Ranch, I have to hold my temper.  They may think there is a  a choice.

    Any Rochester peeps want to chime in about our wings?  Not sure if I have a personal fav but I enjoy wings from all these places:

    Jeremiah's

    Used to go there after Wednesday golf league .  Really, really good.  And they gave us the first pitcher for free.
