The problem with the bold is that Terry loves Adams, and he fired Lindy. Lindy is looking at the worst hockey organization in NHL history in Buffalo, all since he left, and he knows exactly why. Lindy is a Sabres - he played there, coached there, he showed passion in his work making him very popular, and he was a huge part of the community for a long time. Think he has any reason to respect Terry? Think Terry would not sense that? Lindy cannot waltz in and be Beane, Adams already is. Lindy cannot be POHO, Adams is the guy Terry wants to talk to , with no one in between.

I lost all respect for Scheifele for that. He knew exactly what part of the boot to hit to injure him, he could have slashed him in the shin guards to make a point, but he tried to injure. And he did it nonchalantly to keep it under the radar from the refs. He did it because Dahlin threw two big time reverse checks on that shift and flattened a few Jets. Scheifele is no tough guy, he has a few fights and he always gets destroyed. I hope Dahlin takes him on in the next meeting.

You want the Broad Street Bullies from the 1970's. They are long gone.

If a UFA signs with them then they want to be there.

Their star player Scheifele did it.

The depth problem is real and it is directly related to Adams reliance on his young players, rather than bringing in vets and letting the youth develop in the AHL. Eric Johnson did not dress because he is likely to be traded soon. If he is then Ryan Johnson will get more games and more minutes.

Well your Buddy from Buffalo, Patrick Kane, picked Detroit over Buffalo because they are further along on the rebuild this season. Why are they further? Lots of experts think Buffalo has the better young players and the better prospect pool? Detroit is further along this season because Yzerman has done this rebuild thing before - he has spent the last two seasons bringing in good veterans that have won before and want to win again. He did this same thing in Tampa were he built a very strong team, and that core is still going today. Detroit is an original 6 team, their arena is loaded with Stanley Cup Banners, many of the greatest players ever have played there. They are more of a destination than many teams in the league, especially now that they are rising again. Adams claims he has trouble getting UFAs and trading for players with NMCs. Yzerman does not seem to have that problem, despite your claims. The only thing you said that I can agree with is the Sabres coaching staff has to be improved.

Exactly. Dahlin is the best defenseman and best player on this team. The minutes he is getting are not sustainable though. He is going to be put there for goals against if he is playing almost half the minutes. Power has been better since he sat out a week. Watching games, film study, and some rest and he is now more steady back there, less rushed leads to less errors. Team defense has improved, but a lot of it is because of UPL, team defense still needs work. 2-1 lead going into the 3rd. We needed to score first and clamp down but we didn't and the Jets were just better last night. ?I understanf they played the same schedule on the road, but the veteran team outlasted us and they used their backup and played extra hard for him. UPL played fine, the 3rd period was tough for all of them. The Jets went with their backup and they found some extra juice to get him goals. We should have done the same, sometimes your scorers come through big when the backup is in the net. On to the next one. I like that this team is still working hard and I hope they can climb a few notches in the standings. They need to look like a team that is rising if they want to get good players here. No more losing for better draft position - it doesn't work. Last year Benson fell to us.

Of course he has a cap. No doubt. He has other obstacles as well, and he mentioned them in the recent Athletic interview.

Age has nothing to do with it. The average age difference is probably only 4 years. The players are all in amazing shape. The Jets are just better. Look at the team stats.

I didn’t see it. Listening is not satisfying with the ineffective play by play. Sounds like they ran out of gas against a better team. Like after any loss it’s sucks, but this season is nit going to be special.

Very few will be. Maybe EJ, maybe Zemgus. I doubt anyone wants VO or Okposso.

Or the Jets are much better as evidence by the standings.

Still time to tie it up.

Jets goal. Sound like they are out of gas.

I am about to hear a 3rd jets goal in another minute.

I finally got the jets 2nd goal on Sirius XM

Sounds like a bad power play.

The 7 goals are nice.

Anyone know the attendance tonight?

Robinson cashes in. Love it. Finally.

Why not? New Cheers are good. If the Sabres get good, like scary good, the fans will respond. The younger Bills Mafia era fans will jump on the Sabres, no doubt in my mind.

Radio report. Nice to “hear” JJP get his 20th. That is a mark of a goal scorer. As young as he is, he could get 30 some year, especially if playing with Quinn. Terrible to give up a goal with 6 tics on the clock. Unacceptable. Stats favoring Jets in shots and hits. I assume the Jets are playing physical, running into UPL “sounded” bad.

I just read the recent interview with Adams in The Athletic. He mention UFAs not wanting to join teams that are not in the playoffs. He mention trades not getting closed because the players not wanting to go to a non playoff team. He has an uneven playing field and is limited. He also spoke of DG. He will be back.
