Was it Brian Blessing looking like a ginger mob boss? Or was it Mike Robitaille with his amazing colorful phrases. Like “all mixed up like a hounds breakfast”? ?

Or is that passive aggressive? Because what you typed, what Ogre typed, what Hank typed, can be called a few things. But trolling isn’t one of them. IMO.

FYI ... This thread is no longer about the Pegulas not paying their workers. IMO ... 1. Get it back to that 2. Close the thread 3. Change the title so it now reflects what this thread is about One of those would be nice to see...

Buy low is exactly what I’m doing now with my investments. I like it when the average investor gets nervous and gets out of the market as it’s going down. Amateurs ?

I’m surprised Neil Peart doesn’t get more love. Pound for pound, he was IMO a better drummer than a few names I’ve seen. But to each his own...

All concession workers and maybe others I’m not aware of ... are Delaware North employees. Not PSE employees. Will the evil DN corp. pay their employees while the arena is shut down? Can anyone find that info? I wanna know!

You might notice something unusual, not to mention unfortunate, next time you try to stock up on bathroom supplies at your local grocery store. Not just the bare shelves where hand sanitizer and cleansing wipes were plentiful only a few weeks ago, but the empty aisles where toilet paper usually abounds in quantities from single rolls to packages of more than a dozen. Some are even adorned with signs limiting the number of purchases per customer. Such caps have become a trend in the U.S. and Canada after supermarkets in the United Kingdom ran out and grocery stores across Australia hired security guards to make sure the rules are followed. What's the reason for the run, especially when toilet paper isn't known to have any virus-blocking properties? One reason is that people are going to extremes because of conflicting messages, Steven Taylor, a clinical psychologist and author of "The Psychology of Pandemics," told CNN. "On the one hand, [the response is] understandable, but on the other hand it's excessive," Taylor, a professor and clinical psychologist at the University of British Columbia, told the TV network. "We can prepare without panicking." The novel coronavirus has scared many Americans because there is little information -- and there isn't a vaccine yet. When people hear conflicting messages about the risk, it affects how they cope and how they prepare, Taylor said. The second reason: They aren't receiving clear direction from the government. Many are watching what's happening in Europe and clinging to their own knowledge on how to best prepare for a mass quarantine. Although the United States has said it wouldn't consider such a measure, people still believe it's a real possibility. Social media has heightened the tension, as have visits to stores where other shoppers are stockpiling with abandon. With the shelves of many retailers across the country remaining empty for over a week, consumers are buying in bulk so that they won't need to come back for some time. "People, being social creatures, we look to each other for cues for what is safe and what is dangerous," he said. "And when you see someone in the store panic-buying, that can cause a fear-contagion effect." Finally, purchasing products in bulk gives people a sense of control over their situations, releasing some pent-up anxiety. "People become anxious ahead of the actual infection," Taylor said. "They haven't thought about the bigger picture, like what are the consequences of stockpiling toilet paper." As of March 14th, the United States has 2,195 reported COVID-19 cases with 49 confirmed fatalities. Worldwide, more than 130,000 people have been infected, and more than 4,900 have died.

It’s the age of forums, Twitter, and highly opinionated “know-it-alls”. Sigh ...

Take a drink every time you hear about a company or organization closing from all this. Take a drink every time you hear someone from the entertainment industry spout political ignorance. That should keep you pretty lit. ?

I’m certainly not talking about extraordinary cases like you may be experiencing. And of course, sorry to hear about your health issues like that. ??

Im not gonna get caught up in the hype or run to Wegmans to stock up on stuff. My wife and I have 20 rolls of toilet paper. That’s gonna last us 2 months at least. My god who the heck ? three or more times a day where you go thru a roll a day or more? Time for a dr visit then ? IF I was cut off from all supplies and food today. I have 2-3 weeks of it. No question. Only thing lacking would be fresh fruit and fresh veggies after a few days. But I have frozen bags so that’s not really an issue either. I can respect being prepared and being cautious… But I also see the hype train going wild causing semi-panic with the general public.

Just read some idiot just got banned for life from JetBlue because he told the flight crew after his flight that he was tested positive for the coronavirus. Jerk.

Surgical masks are used for several different purposes, including the following: Placed on sick people to limit the spread of infectious respiratory secretions to others. Worn by healthcare providers to prevent accidental contamination of patients' wounds by the organisms normally present in mucus and saliva. Worn by workers to protect themselves from splashes or sprays of blood or bodily fluids; they may also keep contaminated fingers/hands away from the mouth and nose. Surgical masks are not designed or certified to prevent the inhalation of small airborne contaminants. These particles are not visible to the naked eye but may still be capable of causing infection. Surgical masks are not designed to seal tightly against the user's face.

I don’t think it will blow up to THAT degree. But if it did in your hypothetical ... then yes, no 2020 Stanley cup winner is possible. OR award it to a team with the most points or something.

I’ve heard several Ex sabres say that he had the best hands on the team bar none. And among some of the best in the league for the time he played. So I think of him as somebody who had their career cut short due to injury but was a very good talent.
