The funniest thing about the tangible angst at never making the playoffs is that it creates an equal and opposite reaction on the other side, in defiance. If KA came out and said he plans for the roster to make the playoffs in 2033, I am utterly convinced there would be satisfaction found in never winning again if only to present a contrast to those upset at never winning. Being happy about the team regardless of never winning *is* your win. You get to stick it to the fans who want to win and don’t get it. You are the true loyals, the better fans. You don’t need winning. You just want to be told it’s coming one day. Even though you know it’s not, that doesn’t matter Why would you need success if you can enjoy the team all the same, without? It’s an infallible defence mechanism “tomorrow” just needs to be promised. Not delivered on. Because it’s never actually tomorrow, it’s only ever today

The demolishing of Philly in game 2. This might as well be a different sport. This is nothing, nothing like Sabres hockey today. The atmosphere, Rick, all of it. This is the heart of it Listen to the crowd ROAR just because we *got a 2 on 1*. It’s just different

Ya this one

I think Briere scored our third goal in that game (before Kotalik) on a breakaway. I remember thinking at that point, it was our year

I saw it live on Tsn yesterday. He said the Sabres are open for business and have interest in adding a F, but that because of players due to return from injuries, it’s “not an intense” search. I think we can reasonably infer it’s more less, KA isn’t going to turn down a great deal if it comes knocking (but who would?). My reading is he’s open to a deal if it meets his terms to a “T”. Thus the “not an intense search” thing.

Sort of surprised so few mentioned Sabres moments

For me it’s this, the 7-6 game, or the game 1 OT winner by Danny B against Philly

One of our best players

There hasn’t been a conceivable way Adams could have addressed the goaltending in 3 years, it takes time

Ya

We are going to win!

Don’t make me tap the sign ^

I honestly can’t believe this is a thing in a 6 goal game people actually don’t understand goaltending or how differently they are treating other positions UPL has been bad. Other facets have been too. That’s it St. Louis Alamo here

And UPL has been bad

Goalies also able to make difficult stops. This just in.

But what could he even do

You know people are desperate for the goaltending issue to be solved because you still can’t even mention UPL sharing blame on this on twitter without being told it’s exclusively the D. It can be more than one thing lol. This isn’t an “average” performance in goal certainly deserves a mulligan though as he’s been good. But there’s no sugarcoating tonight

But I was told Samuelsson was our MVP? this isn’t even a Steph curry

I didn’t hear that, I thought there was a thing about team Canada inquiring but nothing more. Didn’t realize it was being considered. You are closer to things than me though. So I won’t disagree there seems to be almost zero urgency to field a playoff team here

A gabillion, trillion dollars Don’t think sarcastic but I could be wrong

Seriously though, leads aren’t what they used to be. If 6K stabilizes no reason this can’t get at least to OT

It’s also: Coze Anns

Two goal lead. Most dangerous in hackey
