Tonight kicks off the Amerks season. A few familiar faces with Jacob Bryson leading the way. Tons of new players and prospects with Jack Quinn leading the way who unfortunately won’t play tonight due to quarantine. Dalton Smith, JS Dea are returning to lead the veteran group. Exciting prospects Pekar, Samuelsson, Laaksonon, UPL, Quinn, lead the charge from the youth. Tons of college free agents were signed to fill out the roster. The athletic has a write up behind their pay wall. If you subscribe, you can get the deets there. I suspect this season will be more about development than anything else with these ad hoc lineups and call ups due to COVID. The kids we play be most interested in will be Bryson, Quinn and UPL. Having a couple pests like Dalton Smith and Matej Pekar should make most games watchable.

I don’t think the players are the culprits here.

Not disagreeing but who have they drafted for need?

I hadn’t realized the tenuous nature of the collective fanbase until I made this thread. I only made it because SweetLou had the ridiculous notion that drafting Sam over Leon was the biggest blunder by the Sabres in the last seven years. Turns out he was wrong but I’m not sure The result is uh...healthy.

I’ll add it. What is it? “The tank”. That was about 30 series of moves.

Have at it.

This narrative needs to be shot into the moon

More Amerks news

Harrington tried to pwn me when I posted this very fact yesterday. I just got tired of responding.

Couldn’t agree more. I was offended that Netflix first offered it with English over dubs. What kind of mouth breathers do they think are going to watch a German show with this kind of subject matter. I want to consume the art in its original form. I want to feel what the writers, actors and directors are conveying.

If only this sort of passion existed for the on ice product. Never heard language like this about putting a ***** team out there every season.

Right because they played the Wuhan Devils. Not because anyone in the Sabres tested positive.

Underrated Tweet

Paul Hamilton just lost me for good. Said the goaltending was the only reason they got any point and has been good. Also squashed the notion of high danger shots as “all teams calculate them differently”. Hey numb nuts, the analytic guys don’t work for the teams. He’s the worst.

Interesting the word “formally”

I don’t see Hall bringing much so far. Take him off of it.

They are many types of grit as my friend Joey “Callow” explains. Maybe we can get some of that magic grit from Jack and his beanstalk I personally love avoiding hard conversations

This is predicated on the fact that the coaching staff actually takes him out of the lineup

Yes and he was awful

I have zero faith that this coaching staff can get this right.

I will never care how much a player makes

Mittlestadt for certain. He’s finally bought in to the system. Tage, Staal, Miller, Hall and Montour need to go away.

If that’s his mentality, he should be traded ASAP.

Cozens and Reinhart will be here 😉
