This thread paints a dire picture of Pegs finances.
- financial turnaround is contingent upon a turn around on the ice
- turn around on the ice requires flashy salaries and experienced hockey people ($$$)
- there will be no turn around on the cheap and the team will spiral deeper into financial problems and get worse on the ice
- it's hard to see where this goes other than bankruptcy and sale of the team 3 to 5 years from now
Let's hope Ralph Krueger and Kevyn Adams can find success.

Punch Imlach had an eye for talent.

I don't know the exact time, it was when I delivered the Courier Express, so mid-1970-ish... All three teams Bills, Sabres and Braves got off to a strong start and led their divisions.
It looked pretty nice on the standings page of the paper.

Sabres beat the Wings of the Soviet at Memorial Auditorium in exhibition game (1976)
My first Sabres game. My parents scored "a" ticket in the Orange. I went alone at age 14 -- the 1970s didn't have helicopter parents.
Sabres 12 - 6.

Since WNY population is still decreasing, (although it’s slowing down) there is no way this area can support three pro teams. It barely supports two pro teams. And that’s with the help of southern Ontario.
It would be a different story also if the Bisons sold out most games and had a ton of season ticket holders. Fact is most games are half full, sometimes less.
I don’t see the WNY area in my lifetime getting an MLB and/or pro NBA team. Just not enough population to support it.
Zamboni said it. So I don't have to.
I know it's hard for some homies to understand.. but we're a really small city in the big national picture. We're lucky to have the Bills and Sabres. The Bisons are icing on the cake.

YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND MORE MONEY PER MONTH TO OWN THAN RENT
My case is different, maybe I'm a choosey renter. I rented in Williamsville, with a garage w/opener for $1800.
Owning my house near city line with a garage is $1000.
And........ I just realized how old this thread is.

Does "relieved of duties" mean totally fired? Or does he remain employed by PSE in some other respect?
Sorry if the question seems elementary.

My mother gets meaner every time I see her. It's very disconcerting. I'm sure it's stress but all of her negative qualities are getting worse and worse. I'll leave it at that. But I will say that every time I visit home, about 2-3 days later I collapse in a nervous breakdown as I process it all. It's sort of eye opening, really- a few days around her after being away and I can pick and point out every single complex and insecurity I have and why I have them. And no, it's not the sort of thing I can sit down and talk to her about.
At a time where we need to be pulling together, she's just lashing out and alienating us.She's downright mean to my dad. No wonder he won't retire. I would rather die on the road too over being belittled and barked at.
Speaking of, it's good news I guess, my dad has an appointment at Cleveland Clinic for February 1st. It's good, yes, but it's so far away to me, and in the meantime he's back to being a road warrior. How many more times will he end up in the frickin' hospital before then? How many terrifying calls am I gonna get? Will he make it that far?
God- I'm really struggling to hold it all together. I'm just kinda dropping things left and right, and still feel like I'm doing too much. My escapes are now burdens, my free time is non-existent, I just want to take a shitton of sleeping pills and disappear for awhile.
Yikes.. you have allot on your plate. Please do not do the sleeping pill thing. That would be unfair to your Dad.

Complaint: people who don't yield to traffic that is already in the circle.
Especially happens at Gates Circle. People on Delaware Avenue think they have right of way over anyone.

I'm going to show my naivety here, but as someone who has only ever made coffee using a coffee maker (traditional pot. Keurig, etc.) how does one make coffee without one in order to follow the methods described previously?
I recognize this may be akin to asking how does a wheel roll.
The best methods require some kind of coffee maker or other doo-hickey. Short of any specialized equipment one could use instant coffee (Starbucks makes the best instant), or coffee bags (they are like tea bags).

I started at age 12, when my Dad taught night school and I would tag along = 2 sugars per cup, no cream
Then I evolved to coffee which would put hair on your hair.
Then I evolved back to normal strength black in the AM; cream in the PM.
When I sense low blood sugar I'll do cream and sugar, though that's rare.

Obamacare forces employers of so many full time employees* to offer health care.
This caused employers to convert full time positions into several part time.
A good full time job is hard to find in Buffalo now.
I know poor souls working three part time jobs to make ends meet.
OTH, Rasmus Dahlin looks like a positive impact maker 2 or 3 years from now.
* I forget how many f/t employees trigger mandatory Obamacare

I like option 4.
Related: I wish you could take the tag utilization topic over to The Stadium Wall. Tag use there is a hot mess. The majority of posters there use tags like a subtitle, not as tag in an organized information system.

It's all about the deep fat fryer. Commercial fryers are hotter and they have the added feature of a "cold zone." You can't duplicate this at home. It would take a fryer that holds several gallons.
You want to plus it up a notch.. try a commercial pressure fryer. That's what a serious chicken place uses. It's the balls.
