Amerks looking ugly at home. Bailey, a little disappointed he hasn't shown any progress. Looks to be another lost cause.

By immigration, you certainly mean...….LEGAL immigration, right?

Arena looks much more packed than the past games. Amerks winning ways winning over the fans?

There's a grave yard in central PA dating back to 1588 with my ancestors in it, some 200 years before America existed.

They looked terrible in periods 1 and 2. Even if the shot stats indicate otherwise. Missing finishing chances hurts, Skinner, bit lines 2 and 3 are down right invisible.

Agreed. And, to be honest, I pay the price. Proven commodity and all that.....

Carolina. And we could get him, bit I'd imagine the price would be steep.

They've proven they can do that. What they need 8s to be consistent at it. It's not so much leadership, but the ability of many others to follow. A lot of dead weight on this team right now. Moves should be made. Free riding is not an option.

Eichel is not the problem. Depth lines 2, 3 and 4 offensive contributions are. So is their ability to show up and play 60 minutes. Players to trade: Risto, Reinhart and Girgensons or Larsson. Sorry, but this team still needs building blocks.

But we don't need to make it about losing Risto for futures. William Nylander, make it happen Botterill. We have enough D depth now to make up for minute eaters.

It's not hate, he's expendable. Get what you can for him. We're trying to build a cup contender here, not a stable of "if only's".

Yep.

And they won't. Mitts has the talent, buy no one on his line can compensate. Reinhart is a lost cause, trade him.

We need chemistry. We have talent, but no chemistry. Nylander, William. That is a start.

No, they won't, unfortunately. Is it winnable? Yes. But you have to show up to win, they aren't. Sorry.

I move Risto now! Nylander is my target.

2-0 now. Are you sure it was an over-statement? ?

This team is pathetic. What in the tarnation are they being paid for? Play some hard nosed hockey boys!!!!!

My 9nly complaint is rain on Halloween. The kids came, but were soaked. I gave each one triples. Your welcome mom and dad's ?

why are we losing? COME ON BOYS!!!!! GO SABRES!

While no one likes the situation, I cannot on any way support floods of immigrants at the border. A very good friend of mine was affected by heavily by this. Do what is necessary to secure the border, I want no more pain for my fellow citizens.

I said, it was not my intention to insult you. Bit you appeared, by your posts, to be heavily indicating and actually straight out said Trump is trying to destroy it. Factually, that is not the case.

No, I don't. We currently have less than 300 ships globally, with less than 100 at sea most times. And out of those just under 300, 121 are dedicated to Western Atlantic and Eastern Pacific operations. Meaning those slots never leave the defense of the US coastlines unattended. If you believe, and I've experienced it personally, that the US navies primary or one of its primary goals is protection of trade lanes, you are mistaken. The only goal the United States Navy has is defence of America and its territories. War college can be a real eye opener. My youngest son just finished last year, exact same mission statement, 27 years later.

Need I remind you it is not the Executive branches responsibility to establish legislation? Or has that slipped your mind? You appear to me in any event, to be under this false premise that the President is a monarchy, that is not the case. Legislation starts at the Legislative branch, specifically the peoples house, the House of Representatives. Our representatives. And I've heard Trump many times put it at their feet.

Well, we come full circle back to the origins of Trumps policy, don't we? It is not only the US who benefits from those shipping lanes, and having 2 sons on the navy, myself a vet, a father, 3 uncles and 2 grandfathers all vets, I can assure you the US navy isn't keeping the "shipping lanes" safe, as they spend less than 35% of their time in them or responding to calls of distress about them. The US navy is projection of monetary power, not keeping the oil and cargo containers flowing. In both cases by the way, China is the largest recipient of benefits, not us currently.
