SABRES 0311

Josh Allen looking like Eichel streaking down the side.

So then what’s the fix?

I picked the fifth minute to win the Key Bank $500.00. Not even close.

Jim Lorentz doing some good commentary. Is it just me or does he have a calming voice?

Seeing former Sabres decades later is like watching an episode of Hogan Knows Best. Still cool to see them though.

I agree we need speed up the process so Frolik can get here. I don’t pay as much attention to the immigration issue so I can’t speak fluently on it. Shame on me. From the little I know it seems the system is overloaded. I have seen people in other countries lined up at our embassy applying for access to the U.S. I thought it was demonstrators but turns out a lot of people want to come here. That said hiring more immigration people to deal with the workload is a good idea IMO. However I do not support coming into the U.S. through a non official port of entry. Besides breaking U.S. law it is extremely dangerous. Specifically I hate the idea of little kids and pregnant mothers going through that. IMO the root cause of illegal immigration is not on our laws or procedures. Our system is overloaded because so many people are fleeing their home country due to corruption and organized crime. If I had to guess these people would rather lead happy lives in their country of origin instead of making the long trip here.

No you did not. My comment was general because some people think this will be a war with Iran and others think WW3. I don’t have access to the intel Trump does so I do not know what “imminent attack“ was prevented. If there was a planned attack by the IRGC then killing this man would upset their command and control. I think the timing of the killing could’ve been better.

I’d wait a bit before getting twisted up and worrying about WW 3.

If PP1 is just going to stand still they need to be switched out. Half the season gone and they refuse to adapt.

Here’s the thing. We are not very good. Haven’t been for a long time. Eventually the ship will right itself. It will last for a time then we will be back where we are now. It’s the circle of life. How many pro teams went through a long rough patch and didn’t relocate?

Part of me wonders if the betterment of the U.S. economy was a rouse for the tariffs. China is quickly increasing their sphere of influence mimicking the old Silk Road. This is both economic and military. I honestly wonder if the real goal is to hurt China’s economy in order to slow their military growth. I don't know why but it’s only a feeling. Things have been getting weird around the world and in my opinion we are creeping toward a flash point. I hope Trump sticks to the limited engagements and doesn’t get sucked down a rabbit hole. While I appreciate a pay raise and modernization, I’m worried the world is moving toward militarization like before WW1.

Happy New Year. My resolution is to have a resolution next New Year. Small steps to a better me.

I took the family to the Kings game tonight. First one for the youngest. She had a good time except when the goal horn went off. Other than that it was all smiles. There’s a place called Patxi’s Pizza near Staples Center I recommend. The game itself was fun. The Flyers really move their feet alternating positions and creating passing lanes on the PP. One thing was apparent and that was lack of point shots. Some good hits too. I forget who it was that caught a Flyer in the head. He continued right into the Flyers’ bench then took a tumble getting out. Its been about seven years since my last live game and hopefully we can catch one in Anaheim.

Progress

Almost decapitated by the cross bar.

Thanks Chara.

His shot will get better with time. Actually I would like him to shoot more on the PP.

It could be. Sometimes you have to play it safe.

Imagine what it would look like if Eichel has a nagging sore throat

Watching Cuomo on CNN saying people expected too much from the Mueller Report. Gee I wonder why people expected so much. I’m not defending Fox but in the words of Joe Biden, cmon man. Didn’t this guy once say it’s ok for reporters to see classified information but not average Americans?

I think a 2C moving MOJO to wing kills multiple birds you outlined. Vesey on a third line with competent players would make two threat lines, an offensive capable defensive third line, and GLO. TBH I’d be willing to part ways with Sam and a kicker to get that 2C. That is when Cozens is ready to move in. His presence would change the makeup of the top 9 so who knows.

MOJO’s line has really been coming along nicely.

He’s the like boy who cries wolf.

Boston is letting the air out of the pucks. Wonder where they learned that little trick.

No Rob Ray. How will I know how important one players skating route on one 45 second shift was?
