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

Outlaws is cool. The other two suck Easy choice “Mammoth” is so awkward we are the Boston Bruin

If what you are saying about Lindy is true, and he’s a rambling out-of-touchman…perhaps what we witness is pressure yielding the diamond that is Rasmus Dahlin’s captaincy. The Harrington comments DO sound like disagreement imagine if Dahlin seized the wheel by force. The culture we seek could be created through our own ineptitude. It might have moulded a giant

Apologies for being cryptically vague. I’ve felt for a while that a couple of the Names of sabres twitter have taken on a curiously “in defence of the sabres” type tone..correlating with our descent down the standings. It could just be me, I have to remember to check my frustration with this franchise sometimes

Dahlin

How anyone could call the bold into question is rather absurd, knowing what we know of Samuelsson’s on ice vision in general Perhaps it’s reflected in the fact Tage is apparently ok

It’s a fair point. the times, they are (ever) a-changin’ . it IS 2025

I wouldn’t underestimate the amount the players’ newly reinvigorated disdain for the fanbase might propel them to a few wins here. You heard Zucker. They care about wins now. The fans are wrong and folly

We are merely replicating the Quinn dialogue from last year And we’d be making the same mistake no matter how many “ES per 60 on Tuesdays since January 5th” advanced metrics posts on Kulich we see

Good or bad is a point of view…all I can say is that Chad has begun to fly the flag of Kevyn Adams

Cooooooooooooooooooooooo tes

Huge W. 10 back

How are the devils in a playoff spot

4 nations facing off

Coooooooootes

Who’s the Mittlestatish guy around 8 we are targeting?

It’s a little infuriating. Is that the quiet part out loud? Yes, after all this time, seeing them always seem to win only when it doesn’t matter is pretty annoying. It shouldn’t be, but we’ve never seen it translate going forward. I can’t help but feel it will be to our detriment by giving the GM a false impression of our actual aptitude i suppose this is what it means to be a broken fan

We’ve got our 1C for next year already, Kulich

Pressure off, the boys are ready

Just because he had to play the role of playmaker LESS here (but still the most) because he had to also be the one shooting as no one would covert his passes, doesn’t mean he *wasn’t a great playmaker.*. You are conflating role and ability. Besides - I was responding to this. You can’t remember when they had a good playmaker. It’s Eichel. He was a good playmaker with all due respect if what Eichel did here isn’t considered “good playmaker” you have a very weird definition of playmaker the entire offence was filtered through him. He quarterbacked the power play. A very good power play some years. Led the team in assists per game 5 of his 6 seasons played here - every year but his rookie. McDavid at times is shoot first. If the definition of playmaker needs to be guys who are exclusively pass first.. it’s really going to deplete the options. Can’t say Briere Hodgson?

Remember how low it took him to get his first assist his rookie year? Was maddening line mates failing to cash is exactly right You are doing way, way too much. he’s an elite playmaker

“I guess” dude come on. Eichel is a world class playmaker. World class. He’s near the top of the league in assists. He’s on pace for a whopping 77 assists this year. He led the playoffs in assists. I was calling him a playmaker the entire time he was here maybe I was just a little bit right about Jack Eichel. Ya know? Maybe just a tad

No, it doesn’t matter in the end. I think you need a good (pass-first) distributor on the line (or 3 50/50 players, I guess) but the distributor can line up at wing. It’s less common but it happens the thing with us is we are simply lacking distributors Who’s our best pure playmaker? Peyton Krebs? Tuch I guess. I mean it’s essentially Dahlin but when thinking about the F ranks we lack good playmaking and that’s a stylistic no no for me in addition to aptitude based and results affecting. I’m a little weary of the sick sniper mode we seem to be following a little closely
