Thorner

I CAN’T SHAKE HIM!

It’s not luck. The opposing team’s hands are literally shaking at the chance to score on what even they know is the new goalie GOAT

Lol missed an open net

Did everyone see that outlet pass from Samuelsson? yeesh

Doing well this period to ease Levi in

Lol

Great power play

Thompson is out but I’d like to see Dahlin get a point

Best player so far on ice

Ray is right, if we keep skating it’ll only get more lopsided with the rangers on a back to back

He’s awful lol

Good work on the goal

I understand this it’s still uncommon for my team to be playing inter league game 1

Happy Levi Day. We’ll be seated and watching. Go Sabres

Re: NY Jets not Sacramento Kings

Ya I thought it was a bit odd when they released the schedule

What an exciting W for the Jays on opening day, 10-9 against a great Cards team. Pitching was suspect until Romano was dominant, but our ability to manufacture runs looks MUCH improved. 1-0.

Sabres streak is worse because half the league makes it

He only needs to be “it” if we refuse to add to the crease while waiting for him to be “it”, indefinitely, timing out the rest of our push in the event he doesn’t stick. Simply find a capable bridge for now, and IF he doesn’t pan out, we have plenty of time to get a backup plan ready in the meantime to quickly pivot away from Levi once that determination was made at some point in the future. Or, in the better case, the bridge simply carries us to Levi

Montour having an incredible season. Might pass Dahlin soon in points.

Thanks. Surprised there weren’t more questions about adding a G I find myself wishing we went back to a singular goal song. Maybe cause I dislike half their choices but, one team, one song kinda thing, too

It’s easiest just to go back to Ullmark as a good microcosm. It’s not that Adams isn’t aware of who the good players are or that we have need of them (chychrun too, etc). No reason to debate it. The much more interesting question is when, if ever, he breaks on value evaluation to reach the desired end. When do the ends justify the means? When is it ok to give up an extra pick, in overpay, because the opportunity cost lost is even greater if declining? It could even be that he simply never betrays a hard line evaluation. Willingness to bend here I think is one thing signifying willingness to win WITHOUT sacrificing the future

There’s certainly a possibility that Adams is so adept at his position there need not be a philosophy change, no conscious priority shift, no sound bite that makes Thorny happy about playoffs being the focus, that Adams simply painstakingly adhering to his process improves the team by a few points every year until we’re a playoff team, even if it takes him till his 5th or 6th year on the job. I’ve argued many times they need to consciously shift focus to a prioritization of winning, to do so. I could definitely be wrong. Proof is in the pudding. What I want to see is irrelevant if we improve by the same amount of points next year we are tracking for this year

re: competition You could splice up some GM comments post deadline into a pretty funny mashup in all honesty: “You are further ahead in your rebuild than we are.” “No, YOU are further along than WE are!” ”No, no, WE are the furthest behind, WE have the brightest future.” haha

Sediment lol Oh ffs
