“We were crappy and I wanted us to continue to be crappy”

Death, Taxes and Greenway being injured

I think my worst nightmare is that the team starts 10-4 and Pegula hands Adams and company 3 year extensions and then everything regresses to the norm.🤢

I’m truly shocked that anyone is paying money to go watch the Sabres play. Adams and crew are still here because they all had 1 year left on their contracts and they didn’t want to pay people not to be here. Adams is also the ultimate yes man who listens and does everything Terry says and will stand in front of the media and lie through his teeth and take all the bullets. The Sabres this year are built on the idea of hoping that a bunch of players all “take a step” which leads to sneaking into the playoffs. The same model that has worked so well the past decade and a half. The Sabres are not a serious organization and deserve an empty arena this season.

On the bright side the Sabres prospects usually do well in this tournament then the main Sabres team sucks in the regular season. Maybe since the prospects 💩 the bed that the main team will make the playoffs this year.😛 I think they need to see what they can get if anything for Rosen.

I have a feeling if Buffalo beats Miami on Thursday that coach McDaniel might be nearing the end of his run.

Bosa was a difference maker today. I read a lot of people over the summer that wanted to move on from Cook. They are eating some crow. (Not saying this board necessarily, it was all around social media)

I agree. He has a sky is the limit type potential to him. But if he doesn’t pop he still looks like he will end up a Myers like dman which is an asset to the backend. JUST DON’T RUSH HIM!!

I think they have something in Mrtka. He is so young and has a lot of runway in front of him and has a ton of potential. All the tools are there and I think the brain is pretty solid. If he turns out to be Myers with some more aggressiveness then that is a heck of a pick. Tonight he scored a goal and:

Good point. I should have said “not convicted”.

NHL goaltending is a lot like MLB relief pitching. Outside of a couple of them you don’t want to commit too long to them because they have a couple good years then tank and then move around and you hope you have the key to get them back on track. No harm in signing the guy and hoping he rebounds in some capacity. Gives some depth when injuries kick in.

There is a real confusion right know on whether these guys teams still have their rights or not. It’s a complicated situation. Some young guys made bad decisions. They were judged in a court of law to be innocent. We don’t know exactly what happened and what didn’t. The judge found the woman to be unconvincing. Should the players be blackballed or given a second chance? The NHL is giving them another chance. Coach Q and Bowman got second chances. I don’t need the Sabres to sign any of them. McLeod’s brother would be the only one I would be interested in. Hart I think will have plenty of suitors.

So Adams has gone from years of pencilling Levi in as the NHL goalie to now putting guys in place to keep Levi from the NHL. And I have no problem with Levi starting in the AHL again but this was not Adam’s plan 2 years ago. Shows how clueless he is. I agree with some others that this probably means someone is injured in net right now and this is an insurance plan.
