Second breakfast reservations

So I was correct

We’re gonna need a bigger offensive output

lol this is my best post ever, I’m sorry. Destined for nothing like all my best (terrible) tweets

2 defensive stalwarts refusing to give

We only want radio coverage that wants to be here

There’s always a little back-pocket trick that makes these zany stats possible

I’m just stupid, no need to assign credit

FLUMMOXED!

False start, 91, Buffalo 15 Yard Penalty 4th double-down for KA, from the 76 point line

Remember that streak from a few years ago when the Sharks were actually good and the Sabres seemed to beat them almost every time?

Sharks are 10-33

I’m sort of a lapsed Packers fan.

Packers also have the SB win tho right So Pack have *as many* playoff wins at AT&T stadium which is still pretty funny

Oh damn really? Shannon said it on first take. That’s disappointing

Packers have more playoffs wins at AT&T stadium than the Cowboys do

None better, especially in Dublin

Losses now for wins later The worst, because we’ve been willingly making that trade every day for a decade

What do you mean by “the prospect who represents?”

Will go with a resounding “yes” on this too, but as evidenced by the last GDT, my GDT predictions are worth *****

ROR trade so far as worst in my lifetime The one that shipped him out. Big part of why we still haven’t made the playoffs ~ 6 years later. It’ll be at the mid-way point of the drought soon

One of the lowliest, laughingstock franchises of all time has now made the playoffs 3 times since we have in a league it’s harder to make the playoffs yes I wouldn’t point this out except for the fact I know you weren’t joking, you legitimately are using the Lions as support for why Sabres fans are misplaced ”aNd wE aRe cOmPlAinInInG?” - stop trying to belittle the reality and identity of the Sabres fans’ existence. Stop underselling it.

We need help all around. Some scoring help, too. This is what I meant before - if we’d had added some help, and not done nothing, the additions either prove to be necessary because last year’s one-off production from those guys was just that, or, those guys round back into form and the additions STILL prove necessary because the goal wasn’t to actually be a 20th place team, what we were last year. We needed help either way. Players like Thompson have significantly improved their defence this year, last I checked. Yes, we are allowing less goals, and it was never a matter of simply adding great defence to a 94 point Tage. It was never about helping out the goaltending by committing to a more defensive structure while ALSO keeping all those pointz. There was always going to be a price: whether Adams paid it, or we paid for it in offence

It could end up coming down to the coach, but I still think Granato would be performing better without such a neglectful offseason from Adams. It comes back to that for me because it undercuts Granato’s efforts and also leads into your question about Torts. It’s probably a lot that, but also a reflection of they fact we realistically overachieved last season because all those careers years happening at the same time clearly isn’t something we can expect with anything close to consistency. Offseason should have reflected that. No, it’s not that the additions in and of themselves make up the gap between between the way our top guys performed this year vs last: they make up a bit of the gap, and but theoretically help drive the performance of the current core to a better outcome that we’ve seen thus far. A few changes can go a long way. Maybe some of it does come back to just purely needing an uptick from the core. But just because we need that too doesn’t mean we also don’t need them to be supported. We actually needed to IMPROVE from last year.
