Weave

Not many teams are built for that anymore. I think the ones that are may be able to use it to their advantage this season.

And both are bottom feeders. 😁

If it didn't work NASCAR would have died off long ago.

Threatening the head of the FDA if the vaccine isn't approved sure won't do anything to encourage trust in the vaccine.

I guess if you stop at the first definition you can narrowly define it. The 3rd bullet is: a representation of a particular situation or process in such a way as to reflect or conform to an overarching set of aims or values, with a given example, "the coalition's carefully constructed narrative about its sensitivity to recession victims". In this definition there is a strong implication of bending facts to conform to a predisposition. Regardless, it's a lazy way to respond to a post as it marginalizes the post as intrinsically insincere.

Using "narrative" to describe mere opinions on this site pisses me off too. It's such a negative connotation whose only purpose really is to minimalize and marginalize an opinion. Noone here is building an agenda. They're just making their opinion known. It's a ***** word to use because it trivializes opinions here. I'd like to see it autocorrcted out, frankly.

FOr starters, there won't be enough doses for everyone here until the hockey season is about complete. Will the NHl get it about the same time other non at risk people get it? I don't know, but given how things work here it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they pay to jump the line to make sure they are vaccinated well before they would have been otherwise. I'm also quite certain that there will be many other corporations within the US that buy doses before they are commonly available to make sure their employees jump the line too. Frankly, I expect my employer to be one of them.

I agree that the disappointment is exaggerated. Wouldn't surprise me at all that if you could go back and attach analytics to Zhitnick's game he'd be hated as well. Bodger too.

Yup. Very, very few success stories in the 5th rd.

Hey kid, pull my finger. You need to get tested.

This will be interesting when we get to rounds 2 and 3, but my gut was telling me we were doing no worse than the rest of the league in the late rounds. These picks are hope and prayer picks.

Tis inevitable 5 years. Or less.

Twas inevitable.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I would not have guessed that. He frequently didn't LOOK like a 1 line player to me, but that stat says I may be wrong about it. That's BOOM material.

Or an act of survival. Or somewhere in between.

Don't know why you would find that odd. Indoor or outdoor there would be no fans in Buffalo.

Sent an employee to get tested and stay home. That's my 3rd employee in 2 weeks. This time I'll end up in the contact tracing net if he tests positive. Our company is really serious about their efforts to keep this in check at work. Mandatory masks anywhere on the grounds, including parking lot, and its enforced, mandatory social distancing, no face to face meetings, diligent cleaning, temperature monitors, an executive team managing the response to quarantines and positive tests. But the employees are getting exposed outside of work. All three of my employees were exposed to family members that tested positive. That vaccine can't come soon enough.

I think I agree with your best 80's album. Dude was extraordinary.

Yuri Khymlev.

The lack of cache is a real thing. You don’t earn a Captaincy sailing calm seas. The team needs to win before he gets placed above the guys were are discussing. And IMO it is warranted. Not to say the losing is Jacks fault. Rather, noone will know what level he is at until he shows that level in the biggest games.

Well, that was an interesting experience. A different negotiation than I am used to. Will be interesting to see how it works out at the end of the lease. *back to crickets*

He's also consistently rated higher than Jack by the non-Buffalo sources that I see.

How does Vapotherm help?

No doubt in my mind that large corporations will muscle their way into the first round of vaccinations. And the military will be among the first as well. NFL surely fits the mold of the sort of organization that will muscle their way in.
