Certainly the ultra wealthy are going to get the most prime rate and there are more lending outlets of differing types available to them, but I don’t know if they get interest free loans as a matter of course.

Some interesting economic discussion. I’ll add that there’s a difference between asset appreciation/depreciation and cash profits/losses and that borrowing money, unless it’s an interest-free loan, is always going to cost more than the amount borrowed. As it relates to Pegula and the Sabres, the huge increase in the value of his franchise vs. what he paid for it initially has no real cash value until it’s liquidated and there are valid business reasons why he wouldn’t borrow against that asset value currently. While Pegula (and other owners) didn’t lose value during the pandemic, they lost well over a billion dollars in real revenues that sharply impacted the bottom line. Anyone know the outcome of the suit that Pegula, 19 other owners, and the NHL brought against the insurance company to recoup those pandemic losses? Last I heard, the insurance company refused to pay because the insurance company claims that the pandemic losses are excluded from coverage.

Has the rebuild failed? Failed!? Why, it’s only just begun! So let’s exercise a little patience, ok folks?

Novikov made a beautiful play on Kulich’s 2nd goal yesterday. Good move to get around a defender, drawing attention, and then making a sweet dish to Kulich alone at the net.

Moose Jaw turns the tables and beats Swift Current by the same 7-2 score in the game they lost last night. Savoie with two apples.

Great play by Barkov to lift Cozens’s stick, though. Sometimes you gotta tip your hat to a good player.

Nice hatty for Kulich.

I see Noah Laaouan got his first point for the Amerks with an assist on Kulich’s goal, which was a beauty of a breakaway goal. Nice to see Kulich getting his game back just in time for the post season.

Fearless bull riders?

Swift Current scores three unanswered in the 3rd and runs away with game 1, 7-2. Appears Moose Jaw may have really missed Our Boy Savoie tonight.

Moose Jaw with two goals in the last minute and a half of the period to make it 4-2 Swift Current heading into the 3rd.

Moose Jaw getting whipped 4-0 late in the 2nd of their opening game vs. Swift Current. I don’t see Our Boy Savoie listed on the roster for tonight’s game. Anyone know if he’s hurt. Again.

Yeah, he milled around after grabbing Tage while Pacioretty already had a hold of him.

You’ve been a fan for only 50 years? Rookie.

Rousek as weii.

Must watch hockey. Can’t wait!

Maybe weaning may wait.

Please! He can’t describe the action worth a damn. At least the viewing audience can see what he’s missing, but the radio listeners have little idea what’s actually happening on the ice. He too often goes a few seconds with no description and in hockey, that’s an eternity.

I fully understand there’s less than a snowball’s chance and I’m not delusional, but he hasn’t re-signed with Canes as of yet, so let a man dream in the meantime, would ya?

O Henry?

It was the sale of his oil and gas assets in Ohio and West Virginia for $1.75b in 2014 that was the means to an end to buy the Bills. His ownership of the Sabres had nothing to do with it.
