Nice read Pach's, see how this season unfolds, definitely interested in seeing how that Skinner Lazar Cozens line plays. Could see Lazar be the board guy, get in on the forecheck, kid can fly and then Cozens swoop in and be that set up guy for Skinner.

Just trying to find a bright spot, weird what's going on with Krueger and Skinner. And intrigued about Dahlin Montour pairing would be nice to see that pairing work out.

I was really surprised to see (and probably forgot about) Montour's positive numbers and high 5v5 ice time.

Looks like you'll be able to go watch the game tonight at one of the institutions that sued the state if you want.

Think they could work good together, both very good skaters, help with quick zone exits.

Bold prediction. Sabres will make the playoffs, Eichel and Hall become the best 1-2 punch in the NHL and Skinner scores 30 with Lazar and Cuz.

now back to my meth....

I want to see what that line looks like too, Skinner Lazar Cozens, they can all skate. Can Lazar use his speed to give a nice forcheck and Cozens retrieve some pucks and be the set up man for Skinner

We were in orange (outdoor dining only) as of yesterday.

Oversimplified version of the story:

About 90-some restaurants here filed a lawsuit and won. Court basically said the state needed more scientific evidence that indoor dining was causing enough of a spread to close. NYS trotted out a 1.4% figure from contact tracing. Restaurants also claimed that contact tracers never determined that any cases were from them. The judge said "not good enough".
