SABRES 0311

Dare I say Quinn is having a more noticeable game than Cozens?

Wow nice pass by Quinn.

Power play time!!!

Probably not happy he’s not on the top two lines.

That last Blue O-Zone possession Tage did a good job finding an open spot in the slot after Hall’s net drive.

Intensity picking up.

This year I think it means more. No preseason leaves scrimmage play the best chance to see how lines work together.

Hall Jack Tage getting it done.

Reiner taking it to the net five hole.

Thompson from Hall after a Risto give away.

Marty: Bills won and Sabres will definitely win tonight.😂

Twitter and Facebook. Sabres page on either. Wife is hooking her Facebook feed up to the big screen here.

I could be misreading or reading too much into the lineups. Hutton with Tokarski and Houser and Ullmark with Johansson. Makes me think Hutton is penciled in as 1 while Linus and Johansson battle for backup tonight.

It’s doable if they can close up some holes in their game. I didn’t see the stats but it seemed like they waited until the second half to really get Beasley and Diggs into it.

I’ll take an ugly win to end a quarter century drought.

So who do we think we play next?

Hall, Eichel, Skinner, Dahlin and Joker on blue. I know who wins.

And a streamed Sabres scrimmage.

Fixed. I think it’s the same meaning, different verbiage. It is not a one sided problem. It is not a one dimensional problem.

Pointless with respect to those people trying to do something good or show proof of a grievance. All they did was further a negative spiral. In the larger picture I agree totally this is a huge step down the wrong path. Politicians have and will continue to convince people they are a victim of fellow citizens and that they, the politician, are the savior. Next comes militant branches of political parties. Those militant arms use violence and intimidation to further political objectives. At first elected officials keep their distance from these political arms. The militants gain support from the populace through the populace’s anger and fear. The politicians benefit from the divide as people look to them to stop the violence and promises of doing so. At some point you get politicians supporting the actions of the militants from behind the curtain. The goal is to disrupt society in order to decrease the civilian populace’s confidence in civil authority. Once that happens the politician offers the way out which includes blind obedience and institution of the politician’s form of policing. That policing is usually authoritarian. The populace accepts it out of fear, anger and apathy. The populace never catches on until it is too late because they were too busy calling each other the problem, the traitor, the murderer. They were too busy trying to show how those that don’t agree with them are the enemy to see what is happening. Eventually you are left with few people in control calling the shots. They themselves fight with each other dragging their people into more violence. Elements of the above are personified by Nazi Germany but better personified by Taliban control of Afghanistan. It continues in Afghanistan as militants bomb peace talks and political institutions. Disrupt, provide fear and an enemy, replace with authoritarianism. Or maybe I am wrong and this is not happening and is not going to happen. The common theme is a distracted populace. The only way to fix it is a populace who accepts it as not one sided, one dimensional problem.

Sabres will stream the next scrimmage at 7:00 PM on 9 January.

Girgensons replacement?

Ok so I’ve tried offer my perspective on what happened, what has been happening and where I think this is going. This has resulted in accusation of downplaying things, being a murderer, and being a traitor to my country. Verbatim. I have rarely weighed-in when the talk is of things like economics because I think some of you are more well versed. On those type of topics I read more to learn from some of you. All of us have our own backgrounds and experiences which offer us a lens and perspective an issues. I’m not going into detail into my experiences on here until my time doing my job is done but I do feel they give me a perspective on what has been happening. If that experience based perspective is unwelcome then so be it. To anyone who thinks my comments have enabled events, downplayed them or is a betrayal of my country, you are certainly free to feel that way and to make those accusations. I one hundred percent agree all evil needs is for good men to do nothing. I have faith we will get through this.

No worries.

What did I say?
