There is nothing in here that is wrong. I would add that he blew the off season and the pre season, which caused it all. The bell for round 5 is coming.

How long before Byram slows down to country club levels in Sabreland? Its already happening.

Thompson can be a 1C. Cozens can be a 2C. We need to get a whole lot better at 3C and 4C. They have the assets to add another 2C and push Cozens to 3C. We have Krebs, Savoie, Kulich, Rosen, and Östlund in the system at various stages of readiness. Maybe a few of these kids are better wingers in NHL? If Adams says once again that they want to win now than he needs to move some of them, or his #1 pick in 2024, for proven NHL talent and hopefully develop of few that remain.

I think Dahlin is at the same level as Hughes. Last night showed it.

If true then this is a sad bunch. But I doubt this is true.

Stashu Cup.

Look at the players recently drafted. Savoie, Kulich, Rosen, Östlund - none of them meet that description. The only way we get that is trades and/or UFAs.

Agree with you on the comment related to the top players. There is no way to make up for the 70+ goal reduction in the top 4 from last year. The players named by @CTJoe are not the reason the team slipped this season, but they are all replaceable. Krebs, Jost, Robinson, Bryson, Clifford, Oloffson are precisely were the upgrades need to be. I will throw in Joker too. Krebs - is not an ideal starting 4C, and he is not good enough to be the starting 3C at this point. This needs to be addressed in the offseason and they need to bring in NHL level competition. We need better centers if we are going to jump to playoff caliber. Unfortunately, Adams may just stick with his young prospects and do the "no blockers" thing. Next season could be another extended tryout for Krebs, Savioe, Kulich, Rosen and even Östlund. Jost is a AHL/NHL tweener, a call up spare forward and not a viable replacement for Okposo or Mitts. Robinson is an AHL/NHL tweener - we need a guy like him, but he is upgradeable. Get a guy with his energy, but better hands, and is willing to drop'em when needed. That is what a 4th line winger has to do. Bryson is a 7/8 defenseman and too small, but since he cleared waivers this season he can be a call up defender #8. We have no bangers on D accept Clifton and occasionally Dahlin. Our defense does not have enough physical presence with the exception of Clifton. Clifford is meant to be Clifton, and he does not belong on this list. He played his role as a 5/6/7 middle weight banger quite well. He makes some errors now and then, but he is the only physical player back there even though he is on the smaller side. He is tough, we need more tough, not less. VO - he will be gone, it time to say good bye. Replace him with a 2 way forward with snarl. Joker is a poor mans Dahlin/Byram/Power. He and Muel do not bring enough physical play. Muel is on contract and has more size and more upside, maybe with the right coach he takes the next step and uses his size more. Joker can be a good player, but we need something else - a big, strong, physical presence back there. Joker is expendable to trade IMO. Playoffs are not going to happen. I admire the effort this past month but it is going to be too little and too late. Adams is entering his 5th off season. His 4th one is proving to be unsuccessful, injuries aside, he did very little to improve the team last off season and he over rates his prospects. Let's hope he and DG learned something and they do better this of season.

I don’t have the game on TV where I’m staying. Sounds bad so far

Did you ever consider that it’s the songs, the lyrics and their meaning, the arrangement and the musicianship? Singing voice is only one part of the performance. And There are plenty of female singers that have only average voices but write good songs. I know plenty of people that either like and don’t like - Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchel, Cher, Stevie Nicks, Cindy Lauper, Taylor Swift, etc. Rating musicians and songwriters is to me a waste of time.

I was sleeping. I Saw the shots totals but if kept them away from UPL that is good. Especially since we won the 3rd period 1-0. I’ll take it. On to Vancouver …

I missed the 3rd, felt safe that we would win by 5-4. 6-2 sounds like we shut them down. Up early for more home improvement labor.

No. I am cautious. I’ve seen this before with our goaltending. We don’t know the plan but we know Adams. The blocker thing.

He is the plan for 3C next year. I hope Adams sees we need more. Krebs is still a kid.

Im hanging in there. Good to have a lead on the road after 1. Not sure how much longer I can last. Too much work today.

You digging into the data now PA?

I feel a win. I think they can stop the losing to these sea monsters. 4-2 Buffalo. I’ll probably only catch one period. Got to get up early. Someone needs more help with plumbing in the morning. Muscle Weight.

I think we beat the Kracken tonight. Hope UPL is rested, gonna need his A game.

But he was not a hockey guy. He was a businessman. The problem is that he didn’t hire the best hockey guys, and turn hockey operations over to them.

John, Dude is kind of like saying “Hey man”. To some its used as a term of endearment.

He was on Colorado, wasn't he on their 2nd pair?
