His VP choice is going to be key.
He'll be declared mentally incompetent in a years time.

I still don’t think most people understand that wearing a mask is to protect others, not yourself.

The water droplets suspended until air can still land on your eyes which are mucous membranes so even the best ‘N95’ medical grade masks are not effective at preventing infection for the wearer, but are effective at reducing the potential infection to others.

Again I read that the virus is smaller than X, which is a stupid arguments. The virus is traveling on water droplets that are thousands, if not millions of times bigger than the virus itself.

Wearing a mask in public places is a show of respect for other people. Wearing a mask protects others, not yourself.

The same people who are against abortion because “every life matters” are the ones who are adamantly against wearing face masks to potentially save someone’s life. Pretty hypocritical if you ask me.

Anyone in true fear of returning to work because of the virus simply needs to go to a doctor and get a note excusing them from work for whatever time period due to anxiety. You can’t lose your job or pension from a medical condition.

This virus is just beginning to get bad, the worst is yet to come. Ideas that it will be better in a few months and schools and sports venues will be safe are ignorant. If everyone would have taken precautions, worn a mask and social distanced from the start we could have been in a better spot today. But people didn’t, the president convinced stupid people that it was a hoax and no big deal, and we are dealing with the fallout of that now and for months to come.

The people yelling the loudest for things to reopen and for sports to continue are the ones who didn’t do what was necessary for that to happen. And we all suffer for it.

This country has passed the point of containing the spread. The virus will continue until a vaccine is available. In my opinion Sports will not happen this fall, schools will not reopen. There will be attempts to do so, but after the ramifications are felt they will be reversed exactly like Texas and Florida trying to reopen too early and now closing down because of it.

The NFL will try, because of the amount of money involved, but after athletes start dying, they will close down. The other sports leagues won’t even attempt a regular season until the vaccine is available. I don’t know what to believe about the timeline of when a potential vaccine will be available. My guess is somewhere around the end of the year or beginning of next year. But what I do believe is that due to our lousy leadership, life will not return to normal until the vaccine is fully distributed.

The NFL is an interesting one to consider.
The most physical of the 4 major sports which will result in more exchange of bodily fluids while in close proximity it, especially at the line and tackles.

Will they introduce faceshields with filters than enclose the head. Will that work?
Will a significant number of players Opt-out?

If the 9% Positivity rate holds, we can expect about 250 cases (32 x 80sh)
If 0.16% Hospitalization rate holds (161 of 100,000 in 18-29 age group), we can expect about 4 hospitilized.

Do those rates sky-rocket due to extended close encounters?

What's acceptable?

Adolph directly sent 6,000 poor souls to their death. THAT should never be forgotten, never.
Sounds like you did.
Give it time, Florida opened 6 weeks before NYS. The protests, especially early didn't help. I have seen pictures of parties where face masks were not worn.
I don't know how nearly 50% of states with significant increase in cases won't impact the other 50% eventually. Seems like we've upon wave in cycles may be with us for some time.

Now, about Kerry and Tim...you think they will set an internal budget for the team?

It’s very possible that some teams have the type of outbreak that ends their season

To bad Pegula doesn't listen, it should have been Lindy back here after Housley.

Serious question, after seeing what he had done with the Rangers why would you want him back? Nostalgia?

🤝

I still feel like Kym and especially teri are still Sabres fans.

I think he spends to the limit. Especially if were close, he'll approve big $ as well.


Losing upwards of 30 million a year, is that something you heard?

Did you renew all your tickets, or scale back to keeping the 100's

How did he get a head coaching job if he was so bad as an assist coach?

Rangers fans seem to hate lindy.


As a Sabres fan I can't speak for everyone. But...

Lindy represents the last good coach here. Last good teams.

Lindy isnt gonna let the players take shifts off or be lackadaisical, especially young guys.

Lindy wont let our captain eichel get destroyed without sending a message right back. (Ottawa/drury)

Thru the good years 1999 and 2006 I never felt "outcoached" with lindy behind the bench.

Also - nostalgia. He's a buffalo guy.


Since lindy left- one guy wore garden gloves at practice, the next guy tried to foil the organizations tank, one guy won a cup with Pittsburgh, but couldn't communicate with players and the last guy was super dumbfounded and chewed gum under pressure.

Hated the way he coached the Defense it was atrocious.

By using your logic we should have re-hired Mike Keenan cause he was the last guy to get us a cup. The game changes so what worked 10-15 years ago may not now, thats key. I’ll be honest I don’t know much about your goalie situation but since Miller left it’s not been great right? There are a lot of factors before saying here are the keys AGAIN, but thats my take.

I let the Sabres keep my refunded $ from last season to roll over to "next season".
2 separate accounts. The Sabres offered $100 sabres bucks for each account to keep the $.
They did say I could request refund anytime I would like. (Obviously no Sabres bucks then)

I'm probably going to keep the 100's . Pretty much 2 of the best seats in the arena for the money.
Possibly keep 4 of the 8 up top. I'm definitely sick of the resale business.
4 together is nice to bring another couple or my sons friends.

Kids getting older and the Sabres have beat the life out of his fandom for the most part.
Always more fun eating wings prior, playing darts and pool.

I definitely suffer from fomo. Fear of missing out.
Strangely I feel like I should be there. Generally I catch around 30 home games.

If I'm not mistaken keenan is 10 years older and hasnt been an nhl coach in 11 years?

Lindy ruff just got hired last week to a head coaching position after being continously around the NHL coaching circles for decades.

Your team hasn't been the worst team in the past decade.

So your logic isnt really using " my logic "

I blaimed goaltending as well, and some "experts" posted how they shouldn't be blaiming the goalies . 🤔
