Undisputed -Sharpe said he doesn’t respect Brees anymore, and that Brees should “probably retire.”

it's crazy


I feel they opened up too soon due to restarting the economy and it's going to have a negative effect this summer


look at sweden, catching up with them

and south america is a mess

Infection rates are generally holding steady around 4%+/-, although raw number of infections are going up due to more testing.
Depends on how one wants to spin it.

Hospitals are NOT overrun and IMO that is the key.

My perspective is that we need to achieve herd immunity but in a controlled fashion to keep it manageable along the way. I say that because how else will we move past it and not bankrupt ourselves ? A vaccine is still ~6-8 months away, and will not have been subjected to the same rigorous testing as normally conducted...mostly to flesh out the side affects. I am not sure I will be an early adopter of the vaccine...as I just guess their will be unpleasantries associated.

You want to talk about it but only on your terms. Not saying Brees is right or wrong but these type of reactions don’t help either opinion.

Does anyone believe that both the U.S and Canada both had stellar job reports on Friday despite the ugly data being reportedly weekly ?

I’m more than happy people are coming back to work, I hope we have a stellar June report also I’m just a bit skeptical

Lots of "early return" jobs in the Leisure, Restaurant, Retail, Construction sectors.
Jobs in Professional Services did not participate well yet...those will increase later as the economy continues to improve.

I have tried really hard to not get sucked into a debate on any form of social media but wouldn't a lot of this be solved if there was more dialogue between parties with some real discussion other than the you're wrong approach both sides seem to be doing?

Also I never knew so many people were law enforcement experts, civil rights experts, economists, infectious disease experts, or even constitutional law experts.

Sit down at a table and have a real discussion and come to real solutions. Change will not happen overnight, but it can happen if there's real dialogue.

We will be back in the same boat in 3 or 4 more years if this doesn't happen.

Stop bringing up history as fuel to divide and start learning from it.

Thanks for posting, as it us good to read these things for nuggets of info.

That said, it was one of the worst articles I have read...
Clerical errors
-Pilut listed 3 times as RFA
-Lazar listed in both RFA and UFA sections
Content
- purely opinion with little given to justify said opinion
- didn't put anything into perspective ; like where does he see Simmonds playing, same with Vesey

Not directed at you, I do appreciate you posting.

I wonder what it would take to get from 7 to 3

my guess is steep

say pick 7, risto or montour, jonas johansson, and either borgen or davidsson

- homiedclown


If Buffalo does stay at 7, there is little to no reason to burn assets to move up.

The largest problem with communication in general is people are too busy talking instead of focusing on listening.

It will be good to move into solution mode for sure.

I've been reflecting on how I can change, what can I do to be part of positive change.
I haven't landed on it yet myself, maybe others are equally perplexed.
I have tried to stay out of debates pointed at each other, rather focusing my disgust with the Democratic Leadership....there is plenty of negative Trump bashing...yet, I have also failed a couple times as much as I have tried to limit it to the upper echelon.
It is all very, very frustrating.

Well, Botts has to be happy that Covid-19 and Protesting and Looting has garnered the focus and given him a bit of a holiday from daily criticism.

fixed




any conversation that starts out calling lifelong criminals as heroes is wasted time


is there a few bad cops out there, yes but a small amount


there is a few bad people out there in every field


a few bad "protesters"
a few bad athletes
a few bad reporters
a few bad generals


etc

Do you think jbotts really reads or cares about hockeybuzz posters and their views?

1% of me still is hoping that this was the "10 year plan" and it's going as scheduled.

Jack's best 6 years should be ahead of him
Dahlin about to separate from the league.

Bogo deal done
Okposo deal buyoutable

Only 4 forwards signed heading into next year?
Eichel
Skinner
Johansson
Okposo

Is this right?

the concern

the d is not as good as it should be

everyone botts brings in to help scoring flunders

hutton, botts hand picked goalie sucks

roster construction, given eichel, skinner and dahlin is brutal

no real blue chip prospects in the short term other then cozens, casey and maybe tage

too many times it seems the left hand has no clue what the right hand is doing

The goaltending is an easy fix. Sign someone other than carter hutton. Ullmark was kinda a rookie last season, hopefully between him and 6k we have the back up/ future prospect locked in.

The D was heavily addressed via the last 2 drafts. They need to groom and simmer properly.

Everyone botts signs is from the sales bin. Just picks for nhl players mostly

I'm hoping they are aging eichel and dahlin for their prime run.

The rotation of systems and coaches hasnt helped the right and left hands from being unified

Well this could be the off-season to do it, some teams are gonna be in trouble with a stagnant cap. He has the pieces and cap room to make some additions to this roster that should help. Fix the goaltending and PK would go a long way in helping.
