Every time I watch this, I am amazed, absolutely amazed, at the production quality. And Shuler Hensley would have made a better Javert than Russell Crowe (although he would not have driven the box receipts). Crowe can't sing in the bass range with the confidence Hensley has here. It's almost too bad that I can't share it with a lot of friends just because of the political nature of it.

It did wipe the smirk off of Smuglinski's face.

I really want NJ to pay a heavy penalty for this. Like NO draft picks this June or something. And

I definitely am not mixing up the teams. In 1998, the Sabres had lost in the semifinals. We had expectations the following year. In 2005, the season was canceled. In 2004, the Sabres finished last in the division. When the 2005-06 season started, none of us had any idea that the team would be so good. Rookies (including one who was waived and who scored a series-winning goal while being entrusted to kill a penalty in overtime) filled out the roster. In 1999, we had expectations of Hasek; in 2006, we were just hoping that Miller would be starter-quality.

I'm with you (except for the uniforms)--that 2006 run was So. Much. Fun. The 1999 run was more tense because we expected greatness. The 2006 run was pure unanticipated joy.

I'll find the next scheduled hearing date if you really want, but I think this will go more along the lines of Nowak's earlier ruling (opening restaurants again) and the state will give up.

Anyone can stream this one for free!

Justice Walker lifted the bar/restaurant curfew for the time being.

Is this on Buffalo CW (WNLO) or just Rochester?

Wow there's a lot of bad news in this thread. I hadn't opened it previously. Hope everyone stays well.

When you've won so many championships that you can't remember which trophy is which: https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/04/serena-williams-trophy-room-miami-mansion-trash-video/

Are you kidding or do you just mean recently? You're underrating Goff, dawg.

I'll say this much: Some of you are really changing the way I view Jeff Skinner.

I'm neither angry nor suggesting that you said that. Just clarifying.

Absent some special circumstance, no. That person probably should be vaccinated in late spring or early summer. But that doesn't mean that athletes should be "jumping the line" and getting the vaccine now.

If one considers the tank as a single decision, then yeah, that's the winner by a mile. I'm not sure I do. I'm not sure I don't, either.

Count me among these people, I suppose. If you believe he is Donald Audette, then yes, the contract itself was the mistake.

The poor decision is his usage, not the contract, though.

I don't know about that. There were people who insisted the team would get better without Ruff.

It's always going to be the O'Reilly trade.

I respect you way too much to react to this post. Let's revisit what I wrote tomorrow or Friday or whenever. This wasn't my point. I also want to reiterate (this isn't directed to you, Swamp), that this is a global crisis that requires a global solution. Inoculating Americans "first" isn't going to do a thing because borders will eventually reopen, and, again, we aren't any more important than anyone else.

Is that what I said above? About parents with children in long-term care? Let's be intellectually honest, please.

Arguments can be made for those who take care of our food supply, those who take care of children and the infirm, those who go into houses to repair your AC or to restore the blessed cable box on which you watch hockey, those who tend to the needy, those who deal with criminals (no that's not what I do), veterinarians, haircutters, the criminals who are incarcerated themselves, those who go live for news, those who govern, those who do just about ANYTHING freaking else but entertain. I'll put myself at the bottom of the list. EDIT: There are many excellent re-runs available for free on Pluto or whatever, and most North American libraries have electronic loans, for those truly starved for entertainment. For me, I'd rather have the vulnerable inoculated so that I can have society. More important than entertainment.

Great. I'm 49 and I have my own conditions too. We're American Heroes (TM)!
