  1. No, it’s not. Lots of chances. Lots of hits. Good defense and goaltending. Tension building.
  2. Mitts with a patented blind behind the back pass.
  3. Heavy hitting so far. Sabres can hang with these guys. Cozens almost got one.
  4. Encouraged On the road Back to Back versus Isles Just win the 3rd period
  5. They are going to be tired this period. They have to dig deep and find a way to score a couple of goals. Shooting more is recommended.
  6. Hello Teammates, Punch checking in. Been out partying here in Fort Myers. Ssbres hanging in there. Another big PK coming.
  7. Pretty funny stuff on those old guys. I like his leadership style for the most part. No need to publicly call out players by name to the media, which happened to Eichel this season. I also believe in both setting clear responsibilities and holding people accountable to them.
  8. Well, we shall see what happens soon enough. My point is that Pegula still oversees things. Yes, I think he wants to win at some point. I don’t know this for a fact of course, but I do think Adams can convince him to spend more on players. I think there had been enough improvement to judiciously add some vets. The Devils did a nice job adding vets last year, hopefully Adams can do the same.
  9. At the start of the season I would have disagreed. Now, I can see the need to rebuild. Kyle had slowed down a lot, this will likely be his last season. Zemgus has been a good soldier but I think he could be packaged in a hockey trade. As long as we can replace him with a veteran, a two way forward, and one that can help the PK.
  10. Yup. Can’t be UPL, and Andy has looked spent the past few starts.
  11. Oh, thanks for clarifying. In my world, they shouldn’t have too. Recognition of their work should happen without government promotion. I know that there are other opinions, some people do not even want to play the national anthem before games, I am getting to be a minority in this area.
  12. What? This is a terrible take. Military, police, firefighters, first responders. They are all hard jobs, extremely necessary, and unfortunately they receive a relatively low pay. What is wrong with recognition for these folks?
  13. Really John? This is a business. The owner is always a force on how the business is run. We know you’re all in and have full trust in Adams, but Pegula said there were restrictions when he unveiled his “Effective, Efficient, and Economic” platform. We have been a cap floor team since that day. They gutted and rebuilt the FO staff, the coaching staff, the scouting staff, and much of the roster. COST CUTTING on the hockey side was a real goal of PSE and was the reason Boterill was fired just shorty after getting a public vote of confidence. Do you remember that? I get the concept of saving cap space to sign our home grown prospects. That is their plan, great, but it’s not the only way either. At some point the new core will need more help if they are going to continue to grow. Surely you see how many other teams, such as NJD, took a different rebuild path and so have Ottawa and Detroit, just as LAK and Colorado already did. We won’t know until the summer if Adams is going to get off the cap floor and bring in a goalie and some better veteran help. If he does increase the players payroll he will have to discuss it with the big boss, Mr. Pegula. If they stay at or close to the cap floor again, then this summer will be like last summer and we will depend heavily on the growth of our youth. No doubt Pegula is involved in the decision. Hopefully, he sees the progress and trusts Adams enough to allow an increase in the players payroll. It’s time to make winning a priority. It’s past due. The fan base is has been through enough.
  14. I was not indicating anything related to Jack and Sam’s situation. They both seem to be doing fine. I don’t spend time following them. Just pointing out that if we still had them the Kid Line would have had a different role on the 3rd line. We would not have Tuch or Krebs or Levi, so everything is different and I make no attempts to compare any of this. I like the team better without Jack and Sam and with the additions from their trades. That is all.
  15. They would not be 3rd liners, they would be forcing the Kid Line down to 3. Yes, they were were holding the group back in terms of team togetherness and bonding. The factions are long gone. The locker room is in good shape now.
  16. Oh no. You supposed to post gloom and doom. You track record of predicting wins is UPL-like. A 4-3 win is more like it.
