Thorny

Not to mention his past comments on situations like this make it all rather damning And therein lies their one chance for a true Run

One of Adams biggest failings has been his head coaching hires Doesn’t want to BE HERE?! we gave this beer leaguer 30 million dollars because he teased the fulfillment of a leadership concept in our minds he should be thanking the sabres on bended knee

I will say: this is it. This is their last chance to pull off a miracle they need about a 10 game winning streak for sure, they have 3 right now, chance for first 4 gamer. If not now, when they’ll absolutely never be more motivated, after getting lambasted in the media at both ends, it’s never if they can push this streak to ~ 10, I won’t turn the lights out Today is a must, must win From a certain point of view

We’d still finish 4 points short lmao that’s 89 If we wanna get to 93 we need to go about 23-7. or at least a bunch of loser points. And that’s if no one else of the 32 teams ahead of us also go streaking it’s not over. But it’s over. Ya know? 8 regulation losses in next 30 and they are through

It’s also funny that they clearly believed the excuse plausible solely based on the fact Samuelsson is always hurt

Parody can be fun

The fact they probably did that to justify their lack of response is embarrassingly par for the course like congrats, you fooled me! I thought he was playing, yup

The only way it can be shaped into a positive is if they address the roster reflective of their record over 82, and not as if they are “really” only their good stretch if you only supplement the team based on the latter, the team will only be good when it’s at its best, again. But it’s not about peak: it’s about a balanced roster to endure the waves of a season

Should be the Utah Yettay

How are they in the other 2 zones? Forwards also play transitionally and on defence - last I checked it was the defensive metrics of our F that suffered, not so much their offensive mark Stone isn’t elite because he scores 60 points he’s elite because he’s incredibly hard to play against and puts up 60 while doing it

Coach said he was good. He must be playing or they’d have at least kept things vague enough so as to influence the league on a suspension imo

That C core isn’t gonna do it

This could help them, in all seriousness. It’s a shame that in all likelihood it’s probably too late it make it this year, but this sort of stuff can give athletes enduring chips on their shoulders

I think we win too 4, finally, would feel nice

Oh I thought the plural of mammoth was mammoth Even weirder name And my mistake

Ironic I missed that I suppose but then again I was thinking NHL

Agree

It’s a parity olive branch in a league where half the teams make the playoffs and we REFUSE TO CAPITALIZE ON IT In the words of Jack Eichel, “HUH?!”

Of course You can call the players whatever you like: but they aren’t stupid. They aren’t stupid enough to believe a mandate of playoffs if they have even a base understanding of the cap mechanics of the league and why a cap was instituted in the first place

When I can tell you that only 2 of the last 160 teams that spent as we are right now have made the playoffs, when one can present that kind of data point, there’d need to be some strong evidence presented on the other side of the equation detailing those moves that Pegula is making, these transactions taking place that evidence the franchise being treated as a toy by the owner actually asking: what are some moves in the last 5 years that you can prove were made because of Terry operating as the GM? I don’t mean prove in a legal sense, just like literally some examples of draft picks made or trades made where the impetus was Terry’s analysis as an owner-playing-GM, and not transactions influenced by the imposed budget “well we can just guess at it” doesn’t work very well when I have concrete proof of the lack of spending, and concrete data on what that leads to

I don’t agree. In fact I vehemently disagree with a side of, “are we following the same franchise, here?” I don’t see, and haven’t in 14 years seen any evidence that to my eye suggests Terry meddles any more so than than a rough anecdotal average of all owners. Owners do generally meddle; because they own the team and that’s their right we have a far greater problem, im somewhat surprised you aren’t keying on instead, because I really don’t think it’s the other thing. Way worse problem. Terry doesn’t care *enough*. The whispers of meddling are borne out from the early days of Terry’s tenure when we were spending to the cap. Terry is an absentee owner. His mandate to Adams was to cut costs. That has not only manifested in the *demonstrable* lack of spending, lack of commitment to winning, it was the *very principle upon which Adams took the job* people, this is the Adams tenure. Don’t blame Adams, I do not care. But get your head on straight here: the issue is Terry not caring about the Sabres enough i shouldn’t need to explain this by now: teams that don’t spend typically don’t win, teams that are the youngest in the league typically do not win. We are both. Those items are both a reflection of lack of spending. Young players are cheap. This is a puzzle that easily fits together. These are the hallmarks of the Adams tenure. Pegula is the common denominator- but, as mentioned, he’s found multiple ways to fail over the years. You need to, when it’s 14 years

Every single nfl team ends with an “S” WOW did not realize that till now

Are there other examples of animals being in a name and it being one that’s the same plural and singular? Like, Kansas City Sheep, etc

When you have a drought on the precipice of 14 years in length, the closer you get to boiling down our ails to one solitary issue, the further you become from understanding the degree of our ineptitude
