If Casey is our 3C next season, I don't see how we can expect 45 points. He'll need a very good winger to get there, and unless JBott is a miracle worker this offseason, I don't see this team with 5 really solid wingers on the roster. As you say, might he get 45 points? Sure, he's got the talent. But expect it? Not without an big jump in talent on the wing.

I know, right? He says he's Libertarian, but doesn't hold a single Libertarian view. Says he's not a Republican, but spouts talking points right out of the Tea Party playbook. Nothing worse than someone ashamed to own what they really are.

You really need to look at data and stop relying on someone else's talking points. Under the Obama administration the percentage of immigrants that were Hispanic went DOWN. The idea that Democrats were importing Hispanics to improve their election chances is laughable when you look at the data.

You really aren’t interested in looking at actual data, are you?

And because I am on a roll, one more chart that not only shows just how ridiculously low illegal immigration is historically, it also plainly shows what we need to do to minimize illegal immigration. Hint, it ain't a wall. Ahhh. the graph wouldn't paste properly. Click the link. https://infogram.com/html-figure-8-1hke603e9dr165r Basically, as guest worker visas go up, illegal immigration drops like a rock, and today's illegal immigration rates are a fraction of what they were in the past.

Just published today from the Cato Institute.... Not some liberal rag. And, from Factcheck.org, illegal immigration has been in decline since 2007. What crisis? CMS found a decline in the undocumented population, and specifically those from Mexico, of about 1 million since 2010. And the Pew Research Center found a peak of 12.2 million in the population in 2007, and a decline since.

I keep reading this thread title as fans that are now off of sweetlou's wish list.

I cant say I've concerned myself terribly with who they hire, and I was open to the idea of Taylor, although I definitely have a substantial preference for an experienced NHL coach to lead this particular roster, but having it laid out like you just did, I want no part of Chris Taylor as the head coach of this team. He's got as much growing to do as Rasmus.

We had roofing and siding replaced 2 weeks ago. Was a tough Winter by that standard.

I don’t remember the details but I think it was around the time of a new labor contract and operating expenses were going way up.

The Rich’s pursued it back when Pilot Field was first built. They pulled their submission to MLB when they determined that the finances just weren’t there to make it work.

I’ve never held my tongue or sugar coated things. It was an honest reply.

I only care because it drags down the level of conversation. Obviously you’re free to comment on the sections you want, but it becomes meaningless if you drop out context.

The answer is, it was set up this way so it could be an issue to rally the base around again for 2020, and they can’t very well come out and say that because it would show just how non-crisis this crisis really is.

Why do you consistently grab onto the one word or phrase that you don’t like and completely disregard the rest? There were qualifiers on top of experience that eliminate Bylsma completely.

Glad to see you've come around. Are you new here?

Crisis. It's right there in the headline. Sorry, I had to.

When we look back at Golisano and Rigas, one thing that stands out to me right along with the warts was, they expected to win even with the shackles that were put on the team. There was no “it’s ok to lose now”. There was an expectation of success even with substantial limitations. And none of this ***** is free. The emotional investment as well as financial investment of the fanbase is pretty substantial. I think you can make a case that an ownership that expects fan support through all this also has a pretty strong sense of entitlement, which was your strongly implied point.

How soon people forget Bowman and Ruff, innit? I'm convinced coaches switching lines more often than fans are comfortable with is a thing everywhere.

Really want to hear more about this. Last Summer I fished 8 bodies of water in western NY, saw eagles on 5 of them, ospreys on all of them. Up until less than 10 years ago, I think I saw maybe 4 eagles in my lifetime, none in NY.

Pin. This. Thread.

I'm not sure we've got alot on LA right now.

It's not a de facto exclude. This team lacks experience, especially experience with what it takes to win at this level.

They aren't getting through elite levels of hockey without knowing that. I don't think they need to be coached into it.
