Condensed season along with an evolving game means you need more than just two lines who can score. Add in however many COVID cases and injuries, definitely need the bottom six to contribute. I won’t be surprised if we have a few games won/lost on the backs of guys like Lazar, KO and the like.

The difference is the players league wide go roughly three to five months between seasons then have a full camp, scrimmages and exhibitions. This year they get two weeks to bust nine months of rust off. There will be timing and communication issues defensively that in a normal season wouldn’t be as prevalent. Every game is a little more important this year too. I don’t see teams going into Alamo mode with a lead or hesitant to take chances if down a goal. I think every team is going to run and gun the whole season.

RK’s take on day 1.

I agree. League wide the defense pairs will have little time to establish/rekindle their communication. I think teams in general will have issues with missed coverage. Things like two dmen going behind their own net, chasing and not closing the backdoor. PKs will get caught watching the puck and goalies will take some time to get use to in game speed. Just my opinion though and I think after the first month these things will be mitigated.

COVID 19 Discussion

Trump signed the COVID bill. Apparently the Omnibus bill was attached. According to the second article that is where all that foreign funding comes from. Let’s say for a moment everything is on the up and up. Where is all this money coming from in both bills? We have a huge national debt and if we must go even deeper it should be strictly for U.S. citizens. $600 will last such a long time for a family. Congress wrote it and he signed it. Thick as thieves, smoke and mirrors. We the people elected them so we get what we deserve. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/12/27/politics/trump-relief-bill-christmas-eve/index.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tampabay.com/news/nation-world/2020/12/25/coronavirus-relief-bill-does-not-include-foreign-aid-arts-funding-politifact/%3foutputType=amp -
I don’t know where to put this and I know it’s not a good day to discuss but I’m trying to put the puzzle pieces together. Below is an article on the Nashville explosion. I subscribe to the idea this is domestic terrorism. Typically terrorists execute their operations to achieve a religious, political or ideological goal. In this case I think it’s ideological. International terrorists would target something/somewhere bigger inside the U.S. An audio warning came from the RV, likely to mitigate loss of life. The attack happened on a day where most people are at home which also mitigates loss of life. The RV was parked near an AT&T building and exploded shortly after police arrived in response to gunfire. The steps taken to mitigate loss of life is used by terrorists to avoid turning a populace against them, sometimes an information campaign supports their actions. Based on limited information of the event, whoever did this may have had two targets; police and AT&T building (corporate America). Additionally I think this was a command (RC) detonation. My research indicates this particular area is undergoing a shift. Bigger, more modern homes, arts district. Likely a reduction in crime has made it more attractive for people to come to. It also makes it more difficult for a terrorist surveillance/reconnaissance element to judge police timing. Hence this was command detonated not a timed delay. Maybe a suicide bomber depending on exploitation of the IED. My conclusion is this is likely a “lone wolf” attack. The intent was to strike corporate America and the police which are two recently vilified groups. Mitigation of loss of life supports a message of “its the people vs these vilified groups” (hearts and minds). Then again it could be someone who just wanted to cause havoc on Christmas and this is all just coincidental. Sorry for the long read. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/12/25/nashville-explosion-christmas/%3foutputType=amp

I have a very similar ornament.

No way. We just signed Mitts. Who needs Cirelli?

Fire fighters came on base from all over and hand dug a huge fire break. Normally they would set a perimeter around the residential areas and wait for it to come to them. They took the fight to the fire with Santa Ana winds making it worse just so we could all return home for Christmas Eve and Day.

Thank you guys. I just drove by the area and it doesn’t look too bad. I think we will be ok.

Got evacuated from my house at 1:00 AM due to a wild fire that’s still burning. Living in a hotel waiting to see what happens. Didn’t expect that on Christmas Eve.

No idea if Business Standard leans left, right or whatever but here’s an article on the COVID bill. I don’t see how any of us support this no matter political leanings. All I hear from politicians for almost the last year is how the government needs to do better for American citizens. So even though we are trillions in debt and dealing with COVID we somehow are able to fund programs in other countries. TF is going on? https://www.google.com/amp/s/wap.business-standard.com/article-amp/international/us-congress-clears-25-million-for-democracy-gender-programmes-in-pakistan-120122201575_1.html -

Well congress passed the COVID relief bill. Apparently helping U.S. citizens entails millions of dollars to foreign countries. Can’t imagine how that money could be better spent for out of work parents. Meh, give a few million to Pakistan for gender studies. That will keep the heat on for that American family this winter. Pakistan deserves it though. -
Dman for a goalie?

Donald J Trump, your thoughts on his Presidency

I wouldn’t have pardoned Papadopoulos. He was on a 12 month supervised released. While not a crime, the guy is an idiot. I watched a show about him and seems he thought he was some international man of mystery. -
I sometimes watch the game on the NHL app but listen to the play by play on my phone through WGR.
-
1. Sabres 2. Definitely the Leafs, Bruins and Senators 3. Pens and Caps (Crosby/Ovechkin) 4. Flyers and Rangers
-
Not saying anyone is looking to find “free” ways to watch Sabres games nor am I lawyer. That said the new COVID bill has some stuff in there about copyright laws and streaming. Maybe someone else can clarify.
-
Never tried it.

The NHL.com site is good. You can stream on any device with the app. You can also watch full and condensed replays. Everytime there was a blackout I was able to watch on local tv. “Free” sites come with risks. Not worth it for a 56 game season with a team that doesn’t have the best recent season standings.

Apparently it’s in support of continuity of government. If it was every member getting it before the rest of the country I’d have a problem with it. Since it’s a new vaccine I’m all about more people getting it before me. Might as well be politicians.
