I find it odd round 2 started already

Bahston strikes back

If Amerks win this series I think we can reasonably argue the Adams plan is on schedule

Exactly. We felt, and are still feeling the natural effects of employing that strategy. We make fun of it because it happened: it’s part of the reason we haven’t made the playoffs under this regime.

More on the stars for sure. For the reasons you said, and the fact Vegas just won the cup

Gutsy move to go to Hill for game 6. Paid off. Sick snipe by Hanafin. Eichel’s been the best skater in the series, phenomenal two way play game 7

Makes sense. I always go with Daigle

You’ll have to ask a hardcore fan

People don’t want to win. They want winning to emerge as a product of their carefully tailored online collection That’s the truth

I wholeheartedly disagree with your take, then obviously the fact Ehlers is only under contact for next year triggers “in a vacuum” for sabres fans because we’ve been conditioned to put zero value on the immediate. 1 year isn’t anything. It’s not one year with one potential playoffs at all, which would be one more than we’ve seen in 13 years: it has no worth. We only measure in the long term. Ehlers not being under contract beyond that is, apparently, more of an obstacle to being a good NHLer in Buffalo than a guy who may never been a good NHLer for anyone, when if it happens likely results in a player inferior to Ehlers…in a time period significantly more inefficient to Ehlers relative to our timeline we’ll happily take the risk with Savoie tho because *MYSTERY BOX* 🥳 Your take is fine: in a vacuum. In the real world, what it allows you to do is hold your head high while keeping the asset, because while in your ideal world you don’t wanna pay that much: in the real world, you don’t get Ehlers. But I’m glad you won the battle of asset value. The war of finding a way to make the playoffs nonetheless continues - - - I do enjoy me some armchair GM mode video game, tho. Collecting all these prospects and listing out all their accomplishments in Junior every year is a swell pass time

And honestly I’ve never heard of that dude.

95% of the thread is “instant no”. This fanbase doesn’t deserve the playoffs. Sorry.

😭😭😭 There’s no more hope Pack it up. It’s all over

His “oh gosh golly gee” personality has *always* been about messaging. He’s not that guy. He’s very calculated imo. Very cutthroat, even, when it comes to it. This was clear from the moment Adams was given the job principally because he was the one willing to fire a bunch of people from their jobs I don’t think that makes him a snake. It just makes him an NHL GM

Rod Brindaless, is more. amirite?

At least it was a hockey trade Baby steps

The media here severely oversaturates the market with Canadian team content under the guise that folks support these teams for no other reason than their geographical location. It’s hard to explain if you are a buffalo citizen (if you are) because you aren’t exposed to that narrative. Imagine being bombarded with Rangers content because they are representing your great nation’s cup pursuit. I feel like you wouldn’t give a shite and ultimately come to resent the narrative

Over saturation

Dude I know they actually aren’t frauds I dislike all Canadian teams and root against them. My post was just message board fodder. They are PP merchants tho

Oilers are *frauds*. Cannot score other than the power play and the officials are going out of their way to make it their personal mission to have them on the power play as much as possible today Edit - and yet another. Functionally a power play goal as returning player had just stepped on

No, you tell him, “No thanks. I’ll have a Minotaur.”
