So sick of these men born after 1990 being obsessed with father figures, an entire hockey team full of men with daddy issues. Amazing.

“Daddy ran off to Florida because of meeee!”

I had suspected it for a while but DirtyDan really is fitz

I finally got him to pull the mask off but there’s no denying it now after that in your head post

My work here is done, boys

3rd account in 24 hours... Even Fitz wouldn't stoop that low.

Its real spacious in here. I think I'll buy the place.

Dan do you own any bars in Buffalo?
- TheSabresTaco

No bars... just a run down penthouse with a ton of space... don't charge me a dime either.

no doubt about it.

we've had a lot of guys that knew how to win. but not a lot of them had actual skill (at point of acquisition)

Johnson
Sheary
Gionta
Clifton (?)
Staal
Frolik
Scott Wilson

This is our track record. One time we had Chris Drury.

Sabres haven't lost since Okposo left.

He isn't coming back so....

We may never lose a game again.

So cuck mentioned yesterday on his interview that, had he known we'd be right here, right now in the standings, he'd still approach the deadline the exact same.

He talked about EJ, why he brought him in, "not an every day defenseman" which he (frank)ing was..

He was getting mauled, just like last year, yet they just (frank)in' did it again and again.

The numbers say he negatively impacted every part of the game, even his speciality PK. I mean not only that you watched him get boat raced almost every game.

This was an indefensible signing. Trade one of your precious picks in the offseason for someone who isn't absolutely (frank)ing washed. Or god forbid, sign one.

At the right price. Bryson can be my 7th d. He’s been good for his role this year

Interested to see if they think their D-corp is set for the short term future.

Do they stick with Joker and Power as the second pair. Ryjo a full timer next year? Whats their plan for Bryson. No one wants to pay a 6/7th d-man 2million(except Buffalo)

I expect Novikov to be the #1 call up next year. Hopeful year after hes full time.

Is that why I’ve been getting bashed for “kicking the can down the road” for months?

I said starting January that if the Sabres didn’t go on a run I’d give Ieetbred the mock draft and prospect rankings he asked for.

The Sabres went 7-4 in January and all I heard was “well the schedule was soft”.

I said it February they most likely needed 16 out of a possible 22 points and they got 12. The furthest I got to giving up on the season was saying the fat lady was on stage holding the mic but she hasn’t sung yet.

Now we are playing meaningful games in March.

I retired the Pegullaville user name for a reason, they haven’t made the playoffs since I started posting on this site. I was done cheering for losses for a reason, the time was now.

Last year I said they’d play meaningful games in March, and even after everyone threw in the towel after the 8 game losing streak, I didn’t waver.

This year I was the rainbow grifter because I said “why not us” this offseason.

I took poop because I said “let’s give it 10 games” when they started slow in October.

Then it was “if they aren’t in a playoff spot by Thanksgiving they are cooked” and I was still being heckled because I was trying to preach patience.

Then it went to being mocked about “top 5 GM” because I was one of the few who didn’t crap all over our front office and believed in the vision. Yet we sit here today and Greenway was a solid addition, Eric Robinson has done his job, Peterka was a gem of a 2nd round pick, going into the season with 3 goalies turned out to be a solid move, Clifton is the same player he was in Boston now that he isn’t tied to a boat anchor, and the 13th call pick I was pining for is already playing in the NHL at 18 and is already a solid player. Then to put the icing on the cake the “cuck” took the swing for the fences I was saying he was going to do back in November of last year.


Anything else ?

Couple of things

The only way you can stand on any of your last paragraph is if they make the playoffs. The season is a failure otherwise, and yes adams decisions, moves or lack of moves have alot to do with that. Including not firing granato when they were clearly underachieving

Im not going to nitpick about the mock draft, but by your own parameters you owed it. It was more ball busting than bashing by me, I like what you bring to the thread here even though I disagree about the newest 18 year old every year coming to save us. They haven't done the only thing that matters which is winning and getting to the playoffs

I, like you, will never root against them again. I wanted the tank and us fans have paid a great price for it. I've been severely frustrated by this season because I bought back in for real last year

Beat the wings tomorrow and they go out west to keep their season alive. If they are still alive, 5 of the remaining 10 against teams they are battling for the last spot with. Its the most interesting they've been all year

Can’t always defer to daddy if he’s not around.

and now they Don’t have to slow down and wait for him



... EJ being gone helps the most (?)

The problem with this guy pumping his chest is he has gone on record saying unless you win the championship, your season is a failure. Now he wants to make obvious predictions and act like it’s gospel.

Is this sufficient enough? I honestly dont know.

Tough to leave Ryan in the A for another year I would assume. And paying Bryson $2mill to be the 7th guy isn't the most efficent way to go. But Bryson as the 7th has given the team some stability when a guy goes down.

Interesting to see where they go with this.

To give the guy some credit, he was one of the only guys to not totally give up on this team yet this year. I thought we were done a while ago.

Guys were cursing him up and down for sticking with it. Now that hes been sorta kinda right he's still getting cursed out.

It is a bit(alot) much to be defending adams because they've finally made the season interesting at game 67 when none of it matters if they miss. Which is still the most likely outcome

Byram looks to be a great move though I had my criticism when the trade went down

Well sorta kinda. Seasons not over so he cant be wrong either, yet...

I commend the man for sticking with it. I didn't. I gave up, i will admit. Stopped watching games completely.

Yeah, Okposo can still do some things. I mean, EJ can too, but those things are all bad.

See the 3 stickless player fiasco in Philly last night? First time I've ever seen 3/5 players on one team without a stick. If you watch closely, EJ is in the net, kind of pushes off the tender to block and literally drops his stick...

Pass comes across and it gets buried, then you see him pick his twig up and waddle off to the bench. Talk about addition by subtraction. That guy is the worst.

And for a fourth in a deep draft, with no retention?!

I will agree, Adams deserves 72 black marks and this one gold star. He can pin it to his lapel as he seeks employment elsewhere.
