John Wawrow reporting that one ought to cross Sabres off landing list for Dudley. The disappointment continues.

I would buy Buffalo Braves gear . . .

Yep, the rugby fella, too.

Ahh, it was a relatively weak pun based on the statement that we all bleed red. I agree with your sentiment.

Commie.

This hire would instantly add credibility and markedly improve the perception folks have of the Pegulas. They could almost make it seem like they have a plan.

Cancel culture and delusional counter-factuals in the service of totalitarian aims dressed up as compassionate protest for the softheads -- can't get much more Orwellian than these folks.

I can, but unfortunately TARDIS is broken.

An amoeba has a larger brain. Better just to leave those dims alone.

It was always more significant as a television show and imo Trump's long riff on media bias and the circumstances surrounding the speech and walk down the ramp at West Point was a brilliant, comic riposte to his many critics. Those who hate him will dismiss pretty much anything he does or says, but it was effective. Those who support Trump are just going to filter out the predictable Covid stories (why not the same treatment for "protestors" across the country gathered in close quarters or newly minted countries in the middle of Seattle?)

I think you might be trying to assert an objective moral law --- you could assert this as a Kantian or follow the natural law tradition discoverable in Aquinas among others. I have a fair amount of sympathy for the natural law thesis, though there's no doubt that even if one grants it exists, it is not immediately self-evident and requires certain prerequisite beliefs as a foundation for it's rationality. (Granted, there are no ethics without at least an implicit metaphysics and first principles are not demonstrable, though one can intuit them.) C. S. Lewis wrote a book decades ago, The Abolition of Man, that argued for a perduring sense of morality transcendent of any particular culture. I think one can become so deracinated and cut off from communal relations that foundational experiences necessary to recognize an objective moral law are lacking. And, of course, in a meritricious, decadent society, sophists gain control of the modes of education and youth begin ignorant and end in entrenched ideology that blinds them to any substantial understanding of reality. Truth as transcendent purchase on an objectivity that cannot simply be written out of existence by human fiat is pretty much the opposite of cancel "culture."

Refreshing to read an intelligent, cogent expression from the "left." No one objects to reasonable debate with folks that can think and identify complexity, nuance, and strengths and weaknesses in both those they oppose and those they agree with. And how nice and humane to act as if we are members of a community and not alien tribes at war with one another.

Might as well look for the encouraging. He'll need a lot of help from his friends.

I agree, but for a soft team, I'd hate to lose some of the little grit we have. Wonder how Montour compares to Risto in terms of trade value league wide. Folks on another board are keen to trade Samson. I think that would be a mistake. We need to add to the top six, not subtract.

Don't think RaKru wants to trade him in any event.

Just a joke for the benefit of any Pats* fans who like to hang out here.

So we're videotaping other teams' practices, stealing their signals, and deflating footballs?

They are not toast. The NHL in general is facing economic austerity due to the pandemic. Not making the playoffs for nine consecutive seasons doesn't help the Sabres' bottomline. The current moves do not presage the end of the franchise or its move to another city. It's a depressing enough moment in team history. Piling on is nearly sadistic. In truth, a moderately effective GM, given current roster and open spots, could facilitate a quick turnaround. it's not implausible the team could be a playoff team next year. Imo, 2C, 2RW, and a better goalie to pair with Ullmark is enough to get in the playoffs. Cozens will probably be a third liner who can grow into the 2C of the future. It's not all bleakness, though dark enough.

Welcome to democracy.

To infinity. I'm pulling the covers over my head on this one. I don't see how it ends well.

Sigh. Sabres = depressing.

If that really happens and Josh takes a step up, this is a Super Bowl contender.

Thanks, that's definitely different. I'll ponder it. Appreciate your efforts on my behalf.

Maybe Rodgers?

They should wait until the Super Bowl and spring it on them. NFL isn't going to cancel the game. (My favorite is standing buffalo white helmet, btw. We actually won a championship with those.)
