Lol it was sarcasm, not a point.

He's had more blank slates to show he has a center's skillset than any other player in my memory. Hell, I'm pretty sure Ralph said publicly last year that he was looking at Sam at center.

It is franchise. I've heard they like to do things their own way. Outstanding.

That is how I remember it as well. It was wishful thinking, and thus worthy of the criticism it received.

In game situations he's had small opportunities to prove himself. However, he's been in camp with three head coaches on teams that needed centers, in years where the coaches have said they would be evaluating him at center, and at the end of camp Sam was in RW. He's had his chances to be an NHL center. He's shown people that evaluate him behind the scenes that he is more valuable at RW.

3 coaches that needed centers have watched Sam play and said “he’s a RW”. Nuff said.

With all of the talk of debilitating and long term health issues related to COVID infections, I’m really curious to see numbers describing the incidence of non-fatal but serious complications. Add those numbers to death rates and this thing might look even more serious than it already looks.

LOL

Youtube has been an amazing source gor maintaining my relative sanity during the COVID crisis. Some of the content on Youtube Is fantastic. And you are in total control of what you watch. The content that alot of the musical performers have been putting out during this timeframe has been terrific. The weekly live performances have really been great.

Are you available to date?

Finished up a pretty good sized project today. Had to make a Home Depot run. Today was the first time I became genuinely angry at the people around me. About 25% of the people in the store were maskless. Ridiculous. I gor fed up enough that I finally made a comment in the checkout line. Mr. Maskless in front of me didn’t respond. Arrogant SOBs that find their convenience more important than public safety. Just go out and about wearing a T shirt with a big middle finger on it, because you’re basically doing the same thing when you go into enclosed public places without a mask. FU too.

Hard to come up with 5 non Sabres. They were all enemies. 1. Jari Kurri for me too. 2. Pavel Bure 3. Jerome Iginla 4. Steve Yzerman 5. Bernie Nichols

NY You just made The List.

It was an incredibly discouraging event to see. If you haven't seen it, you're better off. I've lost faith in the humanity present in this country. Too many people that just want to make sure things burn.

Welcome to my world.

I get you ? So, I occupy this weird space where, I'm a gun guy, but I hate the gun culture and the automatic far right agenda that goes with it. I mention this because of the political implications of mask wearing. I was in a gun store today. Not a single person, employee or customer, was wearing a mask. And they looked at me like I had 3 heads when I walked in with a mask. I considered leaving and taking my business elsewhere, but let's face it, in that line of business I wasn't going to find another location that would be in compliance with the mask requirements. WTF people. It's a health related issue, not a political one.

The most recent Ken and Karen incident leads me to believe this will only get worse. That is now two very public (and uncontested) incidents with armed white people brazenly challenging authority and folks that disagree with them. I don’t think a change of President will slow down that ball that has started rolling. I don’t think this ends well.

He lost me after justifying two rookie centers in the lineup.

Dows anyone else see this picture and think Mr. Rogers, or is it just me?

Not enough hotel space for teams and lague staff.

And its only happened a handful of times in the modern era, and after each instance the rules were tweaked to further disincentivize it. If it takes a #8 team getting the 1st overall pick to end tanking I’m all for it.

It’s too bad @biodorkisn’t active on this site any more. Would be interesting to hear from additional voices with medical research experience. Claude adds an interesting perspective to the conversation.

Can you translate this in English?

Got it.

Well, that went sideways. If I understand Claude correctly, all he is saying is, the data re: masks is still being collected and evaluated so no firm conclusions should be made, BUT based on what has been observed so far, wearing masks appears to make sense as a reasonable deterrent to virus transfer in casual contact situations. Or thats what I want Claude to be saying. Either one.
