“Buffalo wings are just as good here” First of all we don’t call them ‘Buffalo wings’

@collin_ruth89 Have you ever been to San Antonio?

Just migrated from Florida back up to Buffalo for the summer. The most notable difference? People in Buffalo are WAY more obese than people in Florida. Any idea why that is? But no city compares to St. Louis. I’ve never seen so many overweight people in my life.

@BVFA12 @JoeMarinoBUF Sounds good. Any more trades you want to cross off? Just want to know which ones count and which ones don’t. So I don’t waste my breath on the wrong ones 🫡

@RProcks10 @JoeMarinoBUF Can’t look at Scandella trade. Not his fault Bouwmester had a major medical issue right before the deadline and was willing to overpay. If we held on to him, our luck, he never has his issues.

Off the top of my head - Bridged Sam Reinhart - Didn’t give Brandon Hagel an ELC - Marcus Davidsson over Jason Robertson - Hired Phil Housley - Hired Ralph Krueger - Held onto Risto like he was gold This guy sucked and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

@Gabby_Shirley_ John Nauta!

@Boltsfan30 no, I am told his first name is John ??

similar to yesterday … the expected absences as this coach and these players will be at the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game tonight in Boston: Cooper, Cirelli, Hagel, Point, Guentzel the other absences: Hedman, Johansson there is a second goaltender on the ice today but it is not Kyle Konin

@JFreshHockey @ByMHarrington I’d love to see the last decade (or since cap creation) % of teams bottom 10 in payroll that made the playoffs each year. Is there a way to make this happen?

@ByMHarrington spending close to the cap must be pretty important or every other serious playoff hopeful wouldn't bother with it, right?

What a bunch of crap that is. "Lack of spending" with an $80M payroll. Don't pay Owen Power $8.3M or Dylan Cozens $7M and Mattias Samuelsson 7 years and nearly $5M. The problem is stupid spending. Not your low hanging fruit.

@collin_ruth89 You’re welcome ;)

Even as a Buffalo, NY native... I can honestly say the best wings aren't in Buffalo. I found them in St. Petersburg, Florida. Huge, crispy, delicious wings. I had to destroy them!

@43jt_ The Bears are now officially on the clock *at 8:17 PM*

Ahhh yes the good ole 8:00 PM start and they’re just entering the ice at… *checks watch*… 8:15 PM

@collin_ruth89 Don’t forget as an athlete you’re trained to get back up and work even harder when you eventually make a mistake or fail. Won’t wallow around instead of making a difference!

I have a MAJOR bias for hiring athletes. Did you know 95% of Fortune 500 CEOs played sports? Athletes learn to: - Deal with adversity - Contribute to a team - Develop crucial communication skills If you're stuck between an athlete and non-athlete, choose the athlete.

@collin_ruth89 The departed 100%

Ok Twitter I need a movie rec. Who's got something good?

@collin_ruth89 No shock you enjoy a book about “E”

An incredible book. My 2nd favorite ever. Definitely worth a read.

@collin_ruth89 What about bottle night?

I once had a hockey coach that said: "Half of coaching is stealing drills from other coaches." RUNNING A BUSINESS IS NO DIFFERENT. If you see something working for another business, there's a good chance it will work for you too! I do it all the time. *I didn't invent my business model* Just launched it in an underserved market. *I didn't design my website from scratch* I looked at other websites for inspiration. Instead of "inventing", start observing and executing. Your odds of success will skyrocket.

@collin_ruth89 Happens to me with Louisiana sometimes & LA, lol.

@RProcks10 I almost misinterpreted this as California haha.

My girlfriend and I are looking for a country to visit in July or August. Top choices: - Croatia - Iceland - Italy Any suggestions / advice? What should we add to our list?

@collin_ruth89 I’m sorry what is the coolest place?

Twitter is just the coolest place. I was just scrolling and stumbled across a thread from the founder of Myprotein. A protein powder company I've been using for years. So cool to see his advice for how to grow a startup! (Turns out he sold the company for a cool $500m)

@collin_ruth89 What if the Hare doesn’t maximize an assets value, because he wasn’t as patient as the Tortoise?

Do you remember the Tortoise and the Hare? In school, we're taught to be the tortoise. "Slow and steady wins the race" they say. I say that's bullshit. Here are four reasons why you should be the hare every single time:

@KittensBig Worst lead in hockey

END OF THE 1ST: Big Kat’s Kittens: 2 Tioga Tavern: 0

@KittensBig @collin_ruth89 Hopefully he’s a self made man.

@RProcks10 @collin_ruth89 I might be wrong, but it might not have been him 😂

GOAL 🚨RUTHERFORD! Blocked shot leads to a breakaway and Rutherford wrists it home! 1-0 Kittens!

@collin_ruth89 @Greenbox_storag Surround yourself with greatness and greatness will surround you!

One month ago I started getting active on Twitter and my follow count has increased by 24%. Time to reintroduce myself. I'm the founder of @Greenbox_storag, a national college storage company that serves 18 schools in 11 states. I've grown Greenbox Storage to $450,000 in ytd revenue (66% increase from last year). I'm a Dartmouth College graduate with a degree in economics. I have a Master's in Finance from Bentley University. I'm a huge advocate for bootstrapping companies and profitable growth. I've been fortunate to have success in the ultra specific niche that is college storage. I describe myself as a "self improvement junkie" because I'm addicted to getting better. I plan to make a splash in commercial real estate in the near future and transition to a full-time real estate investor. Outside of business, I LOVE to golf. I'm currently a 7.3 handicap. I would have no problem playing 18 holes every day of my life. You should follow me if: 1. You want to learn about my (admittedly short) entrepreneurial journey. 2. You want to grow with me (in many areas including business, real estate, leadership, health, etc.) 3. You want motivation. 4. You want to connect and leverage your Twitter presence.
