And he had a severe knee injury that caused him to miss almost all of 2018. I’m not surprised he had a bit of a down year last season. Hopefully he can get back to his 2017 form. Very nice depth addition at worst.

Yeah I'm in upstate NY too. My work has been crushed by this, so I feel your pain. But the experts are saying that we don’t determine the timeline, the virus does. IMO if we lift restrictions now, infection rates are only going to skyrocket and the economy could end up being shut down worse and probably for longer. The way I see it - the economy actually requires that we suppress this virus. We can’t just go on with daily life and ignore everything happening (hospitals being overwhelmed, tons of people getting severely ill, dying, etc). People aren’t going to go back to shopping/spending like normal while everyone around them is getting sick. From what I’m reading, the experts say we need to have a national stay at home order to get the virus under control, and during that time we need to play catch up - produce tons of hospital equipment and safety gear (masks, gowns, gloves, etc) for our healthcare workers and massively expand testing and tracing programs (see places like South Korea and what they’ve done). Right now, we simply don’t have anywhere close to the requirements in place to be discussing re-opening. In the coming weeks, people that don’t even know they are sick yet are going to be getting sick. We won’t even start to see the effects of our social distancing measures for a bit yet, let alone be ready to open back up. Look at the countries that went into full, true lockdown. Their cases continued to spike for weeks afterwards. Anyway... just my opinion from what I’ve read and discussions I’ve had with people much more knowledgeable than me. But I am no expert, so I don’t want to pretend to have any definitive answers.

Yeah I’m playing a few games that I’ve been wanting to play for a while now but just didn’t have the time. Had a couple I bought a while ago, and plan to get a couple more off the Xbox store. Do you have an Xbox one? Or is it the older 360? Let me know if you want any game recommendations (and what type of games you like best).

@Hapless Bills Fan is much more qualified to answer this than me (though I already know what his answer will be), but going by what all the experts are saying, no. It would only make things worse (and potentially much worse). Here, give this a read: https://www.livescience.com/social-distancing-coronavirus-end.html

He did a Q&A on some of the most common questions he received after posting this. For anyone interested: (click on tweet)

I got way behind on this show. I had them all recorded but My DVR took a **** on me when I was part way through season 3 (I think). I’ve been meaning to catch up on it on Netflix. Guess now I’ll have the time. lol

Thank you for what you and your GF are doing. All you healthcare workers are heroes in my eyes.

Oh man, I am so sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and your family. May he RIP.

You know, I was thinking... If Botterill’s job was truly on the line, I have to believe that he is safe for next season now. This is such a unique circumstance. It would be tougher to do a GM search and tougher for a new GM to take over. He would face so many unique challenges. I also think they probably wanted to give him 1 more year anyway, but there was a lot of pressure coming from fans and media. Now I would think the fan/media backlash will be minimal. People will understand. And when a time comes that we can all safely go back to the arena and watch a game, I’m sure fans will be flooding in, just out of celebration. I know I will. As much as the Sabres pissed me off I sure do miss watching them (and the NHL in general).

Thanks for the suggestion! I was actually thinking of re-learning Spanish. I took it in school and still remember a little bit so I’m hoping that make it easier.

I forgot how exciting this game was. Enjoying this one. Those 06-07 teams were so damn close. Has they kept Drury & Briere and added 1 more piece and they could have been a cup favorite for years. Instead they both left and it all slowly fell apart until we ended up where were at now.

Going to watch the last episode tonight after I watch the Sabres game (from 2007, airing on MSG at 8pm). I’m definitely anxious to see how this all ends.

Sorry to hear that. She will be in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us updated on how she’s doing if you can. edit - hope you feel better too John in Jax! Stay safe.

@Hapless Bills Fan I’m curious to hear your opinion on this (click on tweet to see whole thread)

Click on a tweet to read the rest of the thread. I do NOT want to catch this virus. Not afraid to admit that I’m scared of this thing, and especially scared for my loved ones at higher risk than me (though I’m not low risk myself). I think that’s what scares me the most - thinking about a loved one in quarantine with this thing. Edit: Follow up questions answered By Shiraz Maher

Scary Here’s the letter they sent: Thankfully this policy is not yet in use, but they’re preparing for it because they know they’re short on equipment and so far have not been able to acquire it.
