@ThePoniExpress Did you just say the Buffalo Sabres were viewed as a playoff contender before the season?
English
With all due respect to one of my old favorites Lindy Ruff. How is Dan Muse not the coach of the year? Buffalo was viewed as playoff contender. The Penguins a #1 pick contender. It should be no contest.

@ByMHarrington And, trying to figure this dumpster fire out.... the winner of that plays Col/nash winner in round 2.

This terrible format. One of these teams is toast in Round 1. Same thing in Atlantic. One of #Sabres, #Habs and #TBLightning is guaranteed to be one and done.

@LauraLoomer Understand... you've not put yourself in the crosshairs. Stay vigilant!!

BREAKING:
Following my report and follow up with the US State Department in which I exposed the fact that Qasem Soleimani’s Niece Hamideh Soleimani Afshar has been living in the United States (Los Angeles, California) where she posts pro-Iranian regime and pro-IRGC content on her social media while she lives a life of luxury, the US State Department and @SecRubio have just revoked her green card and she has been picked up by ICE. She has been arrested and will be deported back to Iran!
According to the official @StateDept press release,
“Last night, the niece and grand niece of deceased Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani were arrested by federal agents following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s termination of their lawful permanent resident (LPR) status.
Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As identified by both press reporting and her own social media commentary, Soleimani Afshar is an outspoken supporter of the totalitarian, terrorist regime in Iran.
In addition to the termination of Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter’s LPR status, Afshar’s husband has also been barred from entering the United States.”
Over the last few months, I have quietly been documenting all of Hamideh Soleimani Afshar’s social media activity. I uploaded it all to a secure file and shared it with DHS and Department of State, and now she has been arrested and she will be deported from our country.
Thank you, @potus @SecRubio @marcorubio @ASDylanJohnson!

BREAKING: I have reported Qasem Soleimani’s neice to @DHSgov and @StateDept. She is on social media making threats against the Trump administration, posting content sympathetic to the Iranian regime and Ayatollah, celebrating missiles being launched by Iran into Israel and other Middle Eastern countries, and posting other jihadi content while she lives in extreme luxury in Los Angeles. It’s worth noting that the woman (whose name I am only giving to authorities at this time so she doesn’t flee) does not wear a hijab, even though it’s required in Iran. Her social media is full of scantily clad photos in all designer outfits, likely paid for with terrorist tied money from the Iranian regime. She also appears to have undergone massive amounts of plastic surgery to hide her identity, completely transforming her facial features. President Trump ordered the U.S. military to kill Iranian General Qasem Soleimani on January 3, 2020. The drone strike occurred near Baghdad International Airport in Iraq, targeting Soleimani, who was the head of Iran's elite Quds Force. The strike was justified by the Trump administration as a defensive action to prevent imminent attacks on American personnel. I am in touch with Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s @marcorubio team at the US State Department and counterterrorism officials at DHS. They told me they are looking into my evidence immediately. I have turned over all documentation to the Department of State and DHS. This is a developing story. I will keep you posted.

@JeremyWGR Not because of Ottawa. If ottawa wins, and CBJ wasnt a valid point. The magic number relative to ottawa would still be 3. They could tie us and win the tiebreaker.
You realized we both ignored CBJ and rehashed this issue because it confirms 2 is the MN. But, rel to OTT...it was 3
English
@Meted9769 If Ottawa wins, the Sabres magic number to make the playoffs is still 2.
English
@Meted9769
Revisiting... If the Sabres lose, the magic number over CBJ/DET/PHI is still two. ANY win, OR when they all lose their next game, the Sabres clinch that way too. Magic number is two, but magic number over ottawa *specifically* is 3. But it is TWO.
English
@JeremyWGR If Ottawa wins tomorrow... the number versus them would still be 3. We both ignored CBJ
English
@JeremyWGR Here's the difference, one of us can admit an error. Yes CBJ does make the number 2. Relative to the earlier conversation, if ottawa was in play, the magic number versus them is 3. You replied that a BUF win would be +2 and that would get them in, but only b/c of the -1 to ott.
English
@ModakSadanand @JeremyWGR Yes... not solely because of the +2 for buffalo, but also because it's -1 or -2 for OTT.
English
@Meted9769 @JeremyWGR **Current:**
Sabres: 100 pts, 38 RW (7 games left)
Ottawa: 86 pts, 32 RW (8 games left)
**If Sabres win tomorrow (reg/OT/SO):**
Sabres → 102 pts (38 or 39 RW)
Ottawa loses → 86 or 87 pts, then max +14 pts from 7 reg wins = **100 or 101 pts**
Hence proved sabres clinch
English
@JeremyWGR Magic number should be 3 for the Sabres. If Ottawa wins all but one game, and the Sabres lose out... Buffalo has 100 with 38 RW and Ottawa would have 100 with 39 RW.
English
@bunkerplays @JeremyWGR What?! Please lose the extra chromosome.
The MN =3.
His position that Bflo winning tomorrow would be +2 and give them a PO spot. But, that only happens because Ottawa would lose points surpassing the 3.
Look at the #'s if Ottawa wins in Regulation. The MN will STILL BE 3.
English
@Meted9769 @JeremyWGR U might have a brain injury . Talk to your doctor
English
@JeremyWGR Yeah... you know what that produces? A RW win would be +2 to buffalo and a -2 to Ottawa, so a magic number impact of four points.
Now.... look at what happens if Ott wins.... the magic number is 3.
English
@Meted9769 BROTHER TAKE A BREATH.
IF THE SABRES WIN TOMORROW, DO IT
English
@JeremyWGR Sabres win 1/7 102 pts 39 RW
Sens win 8/8 102 pts 40 RW.
OTTAWA wins 1st tiebreaker.
That's your magic number of 2 not working.
3 guarantees a spot, and is the magic number.
English
@Meted9769 If the Sabres win, Ottawa tops at 101, and the Sabres have 102.
Take ten seconds.
English
@JeremyWGR Ottawa has 86 points with 8 games left. They top at 102.
You're making magic numbers subjective. They're not supposed to be subjective. They're based on the worst case scenario, otherwise you could extrapolate out to oblivion.
If sabres lose out and ottawa wins 7/8, Ottawa wins
English
@Meted9769 If the Sabres win, they have 102 and Ottawa tops out at 101.
The magic number tomorrow is 3, but again BECAUSE it's Ottawa, it's any path to 2. If they LOSE in regulation, it's back to 3.
English
@JeremyWGR IF the Sabres win. Sure, a win changes the dynamic, but you have to look at worse case scenario.
Thinking further, the magic number is most certainly 3 and that's because of Ottawa sitting at 32RW.
The magic number can't be subjective on whether it's your win or their loss.
English
@Meted9769 If the Sabres win, they beat Ottawa, who loses 1. It IS 3, but because it's Ottawa that means it's 2.
English
@RobbyMartini @JohnnieVibes I've been wondering the same thing. Just seems like the Liquor License is what crossed the line.
English
@JohnnieVibes To be clear, The Lodge set this in motion by doing the liquor license. In other words, they got greedy. They could have just been a card club, but they had to have the bar. If you just read through the rules around card clubs they were crazy to introduce the bar.

Feel terrible for all involved. Sad day for poker in Texas amongst consenting adults.

English
@NittyLiving @RobbyMartini @JohnnieVibes It sounds like... from what's been released on the charges... that including alcohol in the gambling establishment was the combination that crossed the line.
Gambling is fine.
Drinking is fine.
Drinking while gambling is not.
English
@RobbyMartini @JohnnieVibes What about serving alcohol put their club status in jeopardy? I don’t live in Texas so unaware of how/why those things would conflict with each other

Mob of black teens ransacks and vandalizes a local convenience store in California.
The owner says this has happened MULTIPLE times already.
The police were reportedly called but they never showed up.
When are these thugs going to be held responsible?

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.
The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more.
But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.
