I guess we need to know many missed playoff years, squandered trade or FA opportunities, and requests to leave town will it take to get a real GM? And a new coaching staff

I’ve been trying to buy a goat head black hoodie on fanatics. Can’t believe Sabres shat is not 50% off by now. Not even 10% off currently

Gabrielor89: Why is there no urgency to end the drought?

Lysowski: Adams is mindful of the drought. He’s expressed his respect and empathy for how it has impacted fans, but, from his perspective, he’s only responsible for a small portion of those 12 years. He won’t compromise his long-term vision to appease the fans. It’s a logical approach. Still, the Sabres must recognize the foundation of this roster is strong enough to make the playoffs if he improves it around the margins. No one is suggesting he hand a lucrative, long-term contract to an aging player. He also can’t wait for a bunch of prospects to save the day, either. Some won’t pan out. And this team will eventually have trouble signing players such as Casey Mittelstadt, Henri Jokiharju and even Alex Tuch. Core players such as Rasmus Dahlin need to experience the playoffs as soon as possible.

In hindsight, while I was advocating for Chychrun, a power forward like Timo might be a harder get, and a more pressing need.

ATW dropped the hammer on these (frank)ing knobs

Their claim, at least over the past year or so, is that the players and the org listen to the show. And there's a guy on staff that's paid to listen to it.

Guy is getting paid to hear he is part of the softest/worst front office in pro sports, I wonder how he will relay that message

Nice signing by the Jets, I would have taken Nino for what they traded for him.

Let the record reflect that Lindy fired him as an assistant coach 12 years ago after 1 year on the job

I agree, he won’t do shat, but to say a guy like Duclair would not improve this team is inaccurate

Lou Franceschetti could improve the current roster

They weren't High Tech back then like they are know with Ellis eating his shirt sleeve! Remember they were using the Video 6000 then for Scouting.

the marvels underperforming making it the worst marvel movie at the box, ever

https://www.msn.com/en-us...5a0a3921480e0f267f5&ei=24


people want iron man, captain america, spiderman, thor, etc

they do not embrace certain things

- homiedclown


As a marvel:

She Hulk sucked and the Quantium Realm stuff is a little too ….. weird. Like I understand it its a little too out there.

Like the newest Loki was meh because of it.


Atleast with iron man or that phase…… it wasn’t so bad and made it more realistic ish

Idk if I’m getting my point across very well

“Like Jeff Skinner has a 43.7 xGF% when on ice at 5v5 right now

Not singling out Skinner but when he’s on the ice the Sabres top guys are usually out there and they have been pretty awful

The pressure is then placed on a young middle six because the top guys have failed them”

Don’t say I tried to warn you all 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hopefully he figures it out quick and it’s not the beginning of the end

Maybe he wouldn't cheat as much if he trusted that young Middle 6 a bit more Offensively.

Hey, it could be worse...

Imagine if we had waived UPL at the start of the year, like many wanted to, and we were watching him rip it up on Colorado right now?

Just trying to display the half full part of the poopty glass we are currently knocking back.

Boy has his effort really changed, I mean he is going through the motions if the puck is anywhere other than on his stick, in the offensive zone. This is going to get really ugly, really quickly if he regresses back to 2020 numbers.

No but they need to string together 4-5 wins (or at least 4-5 games with at least a point) to really get back into it. That seems impossible for them right now.

If it still looks like this at Christmas, then President Terry needs to fire Adams and Granato, give Karmanos the job and bring in a coach from the outside

So yes
