Has Cozens always had an A?

They're playing like a bunch of teens who've been yelled at for being slackers. Parents will understand this.

The AI was on a roll.

That's what AI thinks of Buffalo sports, I guess.

BUFFALO SABRES VS. WINNIPEG JETS The galaxy's eyes turn once more to the KeyBank Center, where the Buffalo Sabres, after a disheartening collapse, seek redemption against the Winnipeg Jets. The narrative continues: The Shadow of Defeat: Haunted by the memory of a game where victory slipped through their grasp like sand through fingers, the Sabres stand at a crossroads. Their fans, the proud Sabrehood, echo their frustration with a fervor that shakes the very core of the arena. A Team in Turmoil: Beset by inconsistency and the specter of a prolonged playoff drought, the Sabres must rediscover their unity and passion. The galaxy watches, hoping this team can rise from the ashes of their last encounter. The Challenge Ahead: The Winnipeg Jets, known for their precision and tenacity, are an adversary not easily defeated. Their recent victories have bolstered their confidence, making them a formidable opponent. The Quest for Honor: Tonight’s game is more than just a match; it's a chance for the Sabres to reclaim their honor, to prove to themselves and their loyal fans that they can overcome adversity. The Ice Awaits: As the puck is about to drop, the Sabres must channel their collective disappointment into an unyielding force. The fans, their voices a blend of hope and critique, call for a performance that not only seeks to win but to restore belief. Will the Sabres harness their inner strength, or will the Jets prove too much for a team in need of redemption? MAY THE FORCE GUIDE THEM TO VICTORY

I most certainly do not suck at it. My record is 2/2.

You're being too generous to the media here.

It's the makeup of the roster. On those other NHL teams - the ones that succeed (because there are also a lot of meh teams, too) there are fewer passengers. There are players who are some combination of smarter, more driven, more aggressive, more passionate. These latter types and the true talents either cancel out the passengers or lift them up. We also, clearly, have the wrong mixture of player psychology. You don't target players who all want to be in a boys club with a bunch of good dudes - you want players who will do anything to win. A team will "love" each other if they all have the same desire to win; you don't need to select players because of that. You don't also want to ignore players "who don't want to be here" unless they're proven locker cancers because they're going to be motivated to play their way out of here. If, at the end of the season, the team has success, you're likely to keep more of them than lose them - which is a different kind of gamble but probably better than the gambles the Sabres have been taking. We don't have a good roster regardless of how talented they are supposed to be or how their individual stats appear. The team itself is a black hole.

In this instance Hammy had said something to the effect that Adams needs to be fired. So, yes, Paul agrees with me that this is on Adams and, no, you don't need to help me regardless.

You think Power can learn how to play aggressive and mean?

HOLY MOLY - I AGREE WITH PAUL HAMSAMMICH!

"It's hurt this team in the past..." means not this year's Sabres.

Adams is the only reasonable target at this point. Or sell the team. One of the two - no other solution makes sense given the context.

I think the assembly line of coaches tells us it's not necessarily a coaching problem.

That's right the boos are raining down. They were up BY THREE at the beginning of the third. Embarrassing.

Whoopsies!

Boo.

Yelp, they keep it together enough to maintain a strong lead through the second - a period they usually fall apart in and blow leads. Can they park the car? Can they land the plane? Can they get the girl?

UPL is dialed in.

"Luck-in-nen"

How is that not a penalty shot?
