  1. Anyways it’s an organization full of assess if they run it back
  2. @mjd1001 As for cozens specifically I’ll just reiterate the above The sabres have gone through very good stretches with cozens they have been through good stretches without the sabres couldn’t find a way to win without *mattias samuelsson* a couple seasons ago. Remember that stat? Small sample sizes are exceptionally volatile. Mostly what we are seeing is correlation and not causation and thinking we can properly ***** through that murkiness is a fools errand. The larger the sample size the better the salient point: it’s not addition by subtraction. We aren’t better. We have the opportunity to be if we are aggressive in the offseason. almost all of my efforts on this board currently are centred around pushing back against the idea of approaching the roster in a way that hopes or assumes the best assume it’s all folly. Assume it’s a sham. Assume you need to do a lot to make the playoffs. What on earth is the benefit of doing the opposite
  3. No Eichel association? I’m surprised Ya I have a pretty thorough indexing of poster thoughts, one of the downfalls of a near eidetic memory. I have no idea if the franchise moves forward once Adams is canned. My stance on Adams is rooted in the fact he should be fired because he demonstrably deserves to be fired. For performance. To me, I struggle to see why further justification would be needed: but we’ve had this discussion. You have mentioned it will only result in more of the same if the rest of the bones of the operation remain and I have reiterated multiple times that fact doesn’t dissuade me from making the right choice: two wrongs don’t make a right. I would take a level of satisfaction merely from Adams being held to appropriate standards having standards might seem trivial to some but we don’t have anything else. The team doesn’t win. They don’t care about the fans. I do. The fans deserve action
  4. What? That’s terrible
  5. I guess you guys are just losing me with the premise. You are such a thorough poster I’m surprised you don’t already know my opinion on this? have I posted about it in length a billion times: yes am i now frequently also resorting to emojis when I see points I have already responded to (that’s the key): also yes You already know what I am gojng to say It’s short form I understand you like to lay it all out, long form, every time, re-iterated: I do that too sometimes. But when it’s been said a million times the search function works too. This is why I mentioned post count so you’d know I wasn’t being disingenuous: i do in fact post my feelings out a lot it was a fact not a brag of supposed quality. I ACTUALLY have posted about it a zillion times I’m not being difficult
  6. A fair few I think Anyone STILL posting here after the worst dearth a pro hockey team has seen is made from some of the strongest stuff fans can be made from It’s a mix of stalwarts and yougins untainted by the tides of time I’d imagine
  7. Do you understand context? He’s telling me to post more. I said I post enough you can’t even process the fact im taking a shot at my OWN post count. Like, you think I’m pumping my own tires - that’s what you take from it why interject yourself? Because you don’t like the fact i give your posts emojis sometimes? We both know that’s why. I commend the fact your average post length is a literal novel (not an insult) but I’m not responding in kind with a deep dive every time, over the same old data. sorry)
  8. I’ve said it a million times. The last time I went on about a topic wookie told me to leave the board (in fact I’m frequently frequently told I’m posting too much) - have you seen my post count? Who’s around here is higher? I don’t think your premise is very accurate the emojis can speak too, it’s what they are there for, no?
  9. Youngest team in hockey every time not spending to cap every time do I need to detail how those affect the team? The fanbase might yield and conform
  10. Classic! Classic sabres Always outsmarting other teams and adding by subtracting
  11. I don’t think so. It’s pretty close to 22-23 cozens considering how wonky plus minus is you arbitrarily chose the 11 game framing to begin with. 17gp 3G 7A 10P -2 Is not far from 22-23 cozens to my eye. Granted he’d need more like 13 points instead of 10. But considering sample size i see their framing as generous but not egregious
  12. It’ll be a good test of how much Tuch actually “wants to be here”, if anyone does it’s him, right? im never the team discount guy but a “fair” deal to Tuch probably puts us in a bad position sooner or later: this is Tuch’s *1* big chance at a huge deal and he’s entering into his age 30 years peak “paying for past performance” deal tread ridiculously carefully We’ve used his best years in the immediate aftermath of torpedoing the team for 5 years Yup
  13. Nope time isn’t a valuable variable
  14. What the heck would this place look like if we weren’t the worst nhl franchise of the last 15 years holy crap on a cracker! I honestly respect it
  15. Look at the freaking map.
  16. I think we still have a regulation loss allowable in our back pocket
  17. Drop the sarcasm? Yes sir I’ll get right on that
  18. 14 years straight, baby! Sabres officially eliminated
  19. Shooting percentage sabres We are legitimately going to snipe our way to a 10 game winning streak to end the year and still miss by a full 5 points insanity
