SABRES 0311

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?

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.

Yeah I think there is something in the bill about gender programs in Pakistan for no less than $10 mil.

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.

Definitely see more scrums. Full fights I dunno. Maybe some short, tense rivalries which will be fun.

A joint session certifies the results. Pretty sure it will go through with some posturing from Republicans but nothing to put a hold on the inauguration. The next four years is anyone’s guess.

It’s not that anyone pretends it doesn’t exist. There are people who think the number killed from COVID is exaggerated.

Awesome place to fumble right after the defense makes a goal line stand.

New California lockdown. I’m sure running outside in the cold won’t suck. https://abc7.com/amp/california-coronavirus-socal-lockdown-stay-at-home-order-gov-gavin-newsom/8530933/

Can someone explain why there is a goal horn going off every couple minutes?

Biden gets his first presidential briefing on Monday. The assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist and potential retaliation might be a decision point early on after the inauguration. Just my opinion though.

Happy Thanksgiving

I can see it as a season of attrition. The teams who can mitigate COVID exposure the best may have an edge.

Done. Same title template as this one.

At the concurrence of other posters here is an early discussion on Joe Biden’s presidency.

None of that. Apparently I’m a sheep, they have all the guns and the guy threatened my family. All I said was Biden won. Not all Trump supporters are like that though. Seven billion people on the planet. Some are very interesting.

Before I jump the gun. Do we want to wait until inauguration for the Biden thread or start it early? I ask because I understand he will be making his cabinet nominations known in the near future. Figure we could talk about the first 100 days and some predictions between now and January.
