  1. Better light Power’s fuse now, it’ll take a while
  2. I just propose the thinly veiled defences I don’t back them up with analytical data
  3. I wouldn’t say no to a few additional metapods on D to your point, I’m not sure if we have the time to fart around looking for pikachu also thanks the viridian city song is now stuck in my head
  4. But he wasn’t going to be in the opening night roster if not for Quinn, correct? So they planned on moving him, so what you say doesn’t really fit imo
  5. You know what, you are absolutely right. And I absolutely won’t
  6. The Bengals made the SB after an 0-2 start and that represented 13% of their season. The Sabres can overcome 0-2 over 82 don’t worry, I got you
  7. Because Quinn got hurt and we weren’t proactive that’s the actual answer right? It falls under the “hindsight need not apply” things like defensive supplements and backup goalie
  8. I think his point isn’t that he isn’t living up to it, merely that he hasn’t come close to earning it yet. of course, that’s sort of fundamentally baked into the deal: we are banking a lot on what he WILL be. I just think it’s a little optically “scary” in a sense in that there’s no point pretending it’s not rather on the trailblazing and pioneering end to see a guy get THAT much SO soon with so little committed to record for me, being a first overall pick does help me feel more comfortable about it. Plus, if he falls short, it won’t be by much
  9. He was our biggest offseason addition I think? So it’s a story worth following
  10. Look up over correction in the dictionary there’s a photo of Matt Duchene
  11. Otherwise known as the “Non-(terminally)onlines”
  12. That’s a great secondary assist for career point 1
  13. Last I checked the expectations weren’t “at least manage the position as equally badly as a team that did it badly”
  14. Stop carrying water for Adams failure to address the position in 4 years its ridiculous he could literally never fix it and you wouldn’t care. As long as there’s no big contract. It just can’t be done
  15. Doubt they are shown the door tbh. Do not think Adams *should* be shown the door, either. But making the playoffs is so clearly and obviously and by any reasonable rights the necessary “expectation” for a GM going into his 4th year on the clock, in that it cannot be “job well done” without it. But I don’t believe a failure to meet reasonable expectations justly and rightfully means firing, either. But I don’t see a convincing argument for why a team should bring back a GM if they go 5 years without making the playoffs, so that’s where my line falls. Maybe that’s an arbitrary number, but you have to draw the line somewhere and half a decade seems fair in that I can’t be convinced any sort of strategy was necessary that would take LONGER THAN THAT in a league half the teams make the playoffs. Why the heck should a slowest of slow builds take 6 years to field a playoff team? That’s absurd it’s an entertainment *product*. Make the gaddamn playoffs lol He has an additional 2 years to do it now after 3 years of free pass If that’s unfair, well, shoot me
  16. With that a shameless plug from my twitter If you haven’t seen this film: watch it
