I haven't checked in for so long! Not sure what I was expecting but a pointless vaccine debate seems about right.


I am actually super positive about this team. Yes they are starting over, but you can't let the number of times they have started over deter you if it is in fact the right move. You hire a creepy manipulative soccer guy as coach, you have to redo it. Over and over again until you get it right.

Ultimately, the sabres failed Jack and Sam. Failed them by not surrounding them with a winning team, but more importantly failed them by not surrounding them with a leadership group to teach them how to be leaders themselves. But drafting high is still a great way to get good.

The sabres also really failed to develop prospects. They threw away extra picks for do-nothing veterans, they made bad draft picks, and they botched the development of young guys like Pilut and Mittelstadt. But accumulating prospects and picks is still the right way to grow your team.

Ultimately, we have no promise the team won't do it all wrong again. The same people own the team, the GM is still probably a longshot to succeed, and the coach isn't a legend or anything. There is a great chance they keep messing it all up. But for the first time in 3-4 years, there is actually hope, because they finally stopped trying to put band-aids on fatal wounds.

Owen Power, Rasmus Dahlin, Henri Jokiharyu, are still as good of a trio of young defensemen to build around as any team can have. Cozens, Mittelstadt, Quinn, Ruotsoleinan, Asplund, Thompson, and Olofsson are less impressive, but a trade of Eichel will add the one or two elite forward prospects to make this a fantastic group. Lukkanen and now Levi gives us some future depth in goal for the first time in a long time.

Anyway, feel free to resume ranting about Trump and Cole Beasley. Just sharing some rare optimism for this team I am feeling for the first time in years.

Again with the Trump nonsense!!!

There are several things you can contact from being close to people. A virus, that is 99.5% ok, that i assume you have a vax shot for, shouldn't really bother you. Biden said you can't get covid if you have the vax. my brother currently has covid. he was vaxxed. cool times we're in.

turn back

Thanks, Matty.

At this point I think it’s evident this is going to lead towards a pretty big civil unrest between people who literally prior to Covid could get along pretty well. There’s this current arrogance and smugness of vaccinated people that is leading towards the extreme othering of a significant population of people who are unvaccinated, a lot who might be friends and family. It’s actually pretty tragic what is unfolding and where you can ultimately see this going.
- buffalokb

It’s because a pandemic was politicized for gain by both parties. It’s tragic really. Being a Canadian who’s lived in States for 24 years now, I’ve never thought this country would crumble to its knees over weather to get a vaccine or not. All politics. Toxic politics. Problem is the hard facts:
1. People who choose to ignore the virus will end up killing other people. Directly or indirectly.
2. Unless we get to heard immunity, more and more variants will pop up.
3. Fastest way to heard immunity is vaccine.
4.Thanks to the largest misinformation campaign in the history of this county, 50% of the citizens refuse to get vaccinated.
5. We are the most privileged nation in the world. While other nations have to beg for vaccines, we chose not to take them or have them expire.
6. While we refuse to take them, we also refuse to give them to nations in need.

These are just facts

honest questions:

what exactly does that mean?...and where did it come from?

This is a unproven vaccine that doesn't have FDA approval.

people need to fight the urge to dive into this... no one will back down and change their opinion based upon hot takes on a hockey message board so PLEASE stop

not if you feel like being bad for an additional 3 years. The (probably) two players that come back need to be integral to the collection of guys we have now.

False.

But then, during a third exchange, Biden said that since the vaccines “cover” the highly transmissible Delta variant of the virus: “You’re not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations.”

Facts First: Biden’s second claim – that vaccinated people are “not likely to get sick” – was accurate. But the blanket promises in his first and third comments – that vaccinated people are simply “not going to be hospitalized,” “not going to die” and, even with the very contagious Delta variant, “not going to get Covid” – were inaccurate.

I haven't checked in for so long! Not sure what I was expecting but a pointless vaccine debate seems about right.

I've changed my mind. Wish I didnt take the vaccine.

Couple guys have brought up some really good points.

Not anti vax, just anti stab
Biden told everyone they are completely immune to covid after the shot.
Can spread obesity by sharing pizza
My body my choice
Most people live
Who cares about anyone else. It's in the constitution.
This is strictly political, so hang tough with your party

The ingredients of the vaccine miraculously changed on 11/3/20

What it has proven is that the amount of covid deaths for vaxxed/unvaxxed is 99/1

the proof is there for anyone willing to spend 30 seconds trying to find it.

red states gonna start turning on him and the gop even more if they followed their covid advice and get walloped, like what's beginning to happen right now

So don't trust the government.... but trust a government agency?

Also I suggest researching for F**** the FDA actually is.
