Few months ago. Still, what changed on the ice to go from, let's move forward with these three, to, they need to be fired.

I really don't see how you go wrong at pick 8 with any of the forwards. Or Drysdale if he makes it that far. It feels like 2019 with Dach, Cozens, Byram, Zegras, Turcotte, Caufield, you're getting one of them and you can't lose (at time of draft).

This handful will be Stutzle, Raymond, Perfetti, Rossi, Drysdale, Holtz and Lundell all with picks 3-9. Plus you know Detroit is going to go off the board. Any one of those guys would be a gift.

benefit of the doubt given, but it doesn't change my perception of his starting point...

Judging people on preconceived notions is how you end up behind in life, not ahead.

The entire US government needs to be fired.

The entire thing.

Every single person in government needs to be replaced, as none can be trusted.

'Seniors' are taking the virus seriously and not going out, or not going out without a mask.

>20-40 year olds, meanwhile, are choosing to ignore the mandates and, let's be honest, requests to wear a mask in the spiking states. Now that there's mandates and shut downs, their numbers will decline in the next 2-3 weeks.

the only way to get rid of this poop is to starve it to death. You don't need to be politically biased to figure out that little (frank)ing nugget.

And another thing. The liberal hype train and the the conservative 'meh' attitudes are (frank)ing annoying. How about accept the (frank)ing science and shut the (frank) up about the politics.

This country (frank)ing deserves this virus.

Coming from an old boomer...
Those who are elderly, have compromised immunity systems, and those who have underlying conditions ... the owners is on them to protect themselves.
Those who don't fall into this category are free to do what they feel is right for themselves. If they have regular contact with those above, they have the responsibility to help protect them from transmission.
If you have a friggin conscience at all, join in to help slow the spread to manageable levels...spikes in the infection rates should come with the assumption that hospitalizations will come next...maybe not at the same rate depending on the demographics, but it will cause an increase.
If the hospitals are not overrun, and the infection rate is with the healthy and relatively young...so be it.

crowe's resume includes:

--1 yr.-plus as a scout in the ushl
--2 yrs. dir of player personnel for usntdp of the ushl
--3 yrs. as a pro scout for the sabres

some people are better as worker bees...some are better as managers...some can make that transition...others can't

you're right, we don't know what the future holds for crowe and it could very well be a great move...however it's a big jump just from pro scout to director of that one department, now they've got him in charge of two departments when we don't even know if he can manage people in one at the nhl-level...that resume and those factors indicate, to me, that he's in way over his head

Kyle Dubas had 3 years as GM of a Junior team before becoming an AGM in Toronto.
The first half of your last paragraph is on point.

Defund political campaigns.

Put a limit on how much money you can raise or just abolish it.
Taxpayers no longer have to pay for political mailers, they have to be paid for personally.
Lobbyists have to be made public.
All campaign donations have to be publicly documented and a statement of donations received must be able to be found easily on state websites.
If you receive a campaign donation from a certain group/party/area etc you are barred from voting on legislation that involves them.
get rid of free health care for politicians.

Any insiders here know or hear anything about it

The logic follows Einstein's logic of insanity: doing the same thing over again and expecting different results which apparently you don't mind following. Ralph obviously didn't want to play the same lines again as they did the year before which led to crap and have one line that could score. He tried to spread the wealth. Guess what? Jack flourished without Skinner on his hip, Skinner was making 10 mil so time to make another line stronger and then the team, hopefully, but he had one of his down years that he has a history of having.

Einstein never said doing the same thing over and over again expectung a different result is insanity.

Insanity comes in many forms, and is a serious mental illness, not a cute catchphrase.

Maybe if a certain someone didn’t pretend it would just magically go away
Too bad he ignored his advisors for at least a month

We’re ok now though, bc it just dies in April when it gets warm

I get your point...
but his own medical expert (Dr Fauci) said that the inaction cost lives

No, it wouldn’t have been zero
But then i wasn’t saying that...

And he also said shutting down travel from China and Europe saved 100,000 lives. When Pelosi, Biden, Schumer and Cuomo were saying it wasn’t a big deal, go to malls, Chinatown etc....

I would stick to pouring drinks. Very poorly.

The question is: how much? The median/average age of infection being lower,around 35, is important. If you are under 60, your chances of dying from the virus are very low. If you're under 50 it's virtually zero.

Still giving advice on the virus 19?

At what point do you realize every single post you've made in the past few months has been wrong?
