live stream? 😂

Okay, we will agree to disagree. No one is scamming the system, the labor shortage will magically get better, and things will be back to normal in no time flat. How is that for glass half full? 🤣 ...and back in the day was 20+ years ago. 😂

I guess time will tell. Week to week, has turned into a month, and still going.

Different OC from two years ago, but we will see. I say he is done.

Back in the day, you used to have to go down to the labor office and meet with someone. I'm sure that doesn't happen any more, but I'd like to believe you at least have to list the places you have applied to on a weekly basis, and not just "yeah I'm looking".

...but is it simply checking a box, or is it more extensive?

I am going to get yelled at again because I am admitting I don't watch most of the games, but I just looked at the NHL standings, and based on point %, the Sabres are all the way down to 24th out of 32 teams. That fall from grace happened quickly. 😔

I would love to see a breakdown of NYS Dept of Labor stats in terms of claim length, age range, etc.... Unfortunately, I don't think they are making that info public. My biggest reason for suspicion of fraud, I don't believe you have to go through the same scrutiny you did in the past , in order to receive benefits, where you had to prove you were applying for jobs, and did not get hired, in order to continue to receive your weekly benefit.

No data, but I think my belief is much more likely, than 50 somethings retiring early causing the work shortage. How would you explain it, beyond the early retirement people?

Just a guess on my part, but I’d say it is over 75% of the problem.

What the heck has happened to the workforce? It is an endless stream of help wanted signs everywhere. I know all these people didn’t disappear from the face of the earth, so I assume they are still on unemployment. Time to start making sure these claims are valid. WTF! 😡

That is “old man” talk. Don’t you know that the game now is all about speed and skill? No place in the game for physical play.

I see Doug Whaley is part of the crew also. When is Lauren Hall coming on board?

Are all the games on ahltv? On Rochester cable, do they show all Amerks games? Just trying to figure out how these broadcasts are profitable?

Agree 100%

So when is Johnny getting his preferred surgery?

I guess the lack of interest in the game is I look at the roster today and wonder how many of these guys will be part of the team even come next fall. Hopefully the infusion of all the “touted” prospects will start to draw me back in next season. TBH…the struggles of Dahlin and Cozens(the two best prospects on the team) is not making Sabres games “must see TV”.

Has the “at least they are fun to watch” shine, worn off yet?

Kind of liking trading ROR before they had to pay his bonus? 😉

Can’t remember where I saw, but it was mentioned that John may have his surgery done in the next week or so.

Miller Eakin Hiney-stroker Butcher Hagg Pisser Any of the other 750k gang I think the Sabres hang on to Girgs, and because of his cap hit, no interest in KO.

Can you imagine the epic meltdown in the next few years if Vegas and Florida meet in the Cup Finals? 😂

Lot of “IF’s” have to occur for the Sabres to be really good next season.

Guys on NHL on Sirius acting like Eichel will be 100% healthy. Calling him a 100 point player. No talk of the potential for him never being the same again. Full blown Eichel circle jerk.

Does this mean I have to stop referring to him as a Masshole?
