But 36, everybody is so nice to each other at the KBC.

Yes, it really sounds like they've perfected the Circle Jerk down there.

It’s something to be said that they went from completely toxic bully culture, landed a perfect 180 into toxic nice culture.

Just do your God damn jobs good end go home you plastic machines with fool’s gold for eyes.

""I didn’t like our aura," Okposo explained. "I didn’t like how we were on the bench. We just don’t seem to have it right now. And that’s not something you can manufacture. That’s something you have to work for."

Great, the captain is reading auras now

I have a zoom call with a steel sub at 9, if i don't knock $400k off his bid, this is what I will say to our team.

The best part of the quote is “it’s not something you can manufacture” and they need to “work for it”…

But that’s what working is. It’s manufacturing. This guy can honestly go to hell.

I will say one very positive thing: Isak Rosen was excellent in this game. He had numerous scoring chances, and had five shots on goal in just 7:54 of playing time.

It would’ve been nice to see him get rewarded with more ice-time since he was playing so well.

We cannot take ice time away from the Captain, he's reading Aura's on the Ice.

Do you think there is a correlation between having a fresh out of the padded room hippie as the captain of the team and the team playing soft?

Sure, let's open up that $9M Skinner is making to better fill out the roster.

One question: From what the current management has shown all of us so far, what the (frank) makes you think they're going to spend it wisely, or even spend it at all?

I can easily see them spending none of it except on another ELC player.

If Skinner was this man to lead the team to the playoffs and beyond, we would have already been there. He's nothing more than a streaky player who should have been sent somewhere else a long time ago.
They could have taken the 9 mil and give it back to the fans.

if you do not have skinner and his 9 mil on the payroll, adams would just overpay for another olofsson and erik johnson with that extra cap space

They could have given the 9mill they gave Okposo, Girgensons and E.Johnson to the fans. Atleast Skinner is scoring goals and contributing. Ridiculous take! Skinner's Cap hit isn't the problem.

“Hello, Joe Thornton? We have 4.5 million dollars here that says you can still play hockey. Do you still talk to Patrick Marleau by chance? We have another 4 million laying around just putting that out there…”

Clip from the article:

If anyone could throw the Sabres a lifeline, it’s their general manager. But the prime time to add to the roster was in the summer. Now he might be forced to overpay or make a desperate move.



Adams is without a doubt the worse GM in the league....it's not close.

1/4 through the season and we are last in point % in the Conference.

Imagine how bad it would be if everyone wasn’t so nice to each other down there.

Nope.

The team payroll would just be $9M less and they'd have $15M in cap space instead of $6M.

The fans wouldn't see a nickel of that 'savings'.

Yacht life would instead.

What's the way out of this rats nest infestation of a decade plus of failure to be a winning team?

Send a message: Let a player like Samuelsson watch more than 1 game in a row from the press box.

Why more than one? To make it clear to the public that it's not about load management or some other horsepoop.

Roster makeover: Find a taker for Clifton in the offseason, similar to finding one for Lyubushkin last offseason. It won't be easy. Also turnover the 4th line. No more Girgensons. No more Okposo.

Grown ass men the lineup: Embrace the mindset it takes to win in the league, meaning finding mental and physical toughness to support the forwards and defense. That means adding some nasty SOB's to the lineup.

If only it was that simple. There isn't one person in that organization that can identify NHL talent.

It's an organizational problem that bleeds onto the ice...regardless the name/type of player that is in the lineup.
