I agree. But I could maybe stomach him if was only up for a game or two on occasion as a short-term injury plug. He should never be more than that. I wouldn't either. I honestly never would have brought him back, but this is the Sabres. Always looking for the short/easy play. This was very clearly them bringing Lindy back with the hopes of a nostalgia bump as a bridge to Appert - another lazy/easy hire.

There aren't many NHL teams where Bryson would be getting anymore playing time than as an occasional injury call up. He's averaged 50 games per season over the last 5 years here. And I suspect that won't change next year. Adams doesn't know how to identify and upgrade weaknesses, he doesn't know how to construct a complimentary/cohesive forward group, and he definitely doesn't know how to put together a capable group of defensemen where a guy like Bryson isn't needed for more than 10-15 games at most. And that's why they will miss the playoffs AGAIN next year.

Skill/ability-wise I suppose it's fine. My concern is Norris's availability. What are the chances you get more than 60 games out of him? I'd wager not high.

I've felt a lot of animosity towards some of these Sabres teams the last 14 years, but I think I loathe this team more than any of the others. I guess more accurately, I loathe Kevyn Adams more than I have any other GM during any other season. After all, it's his ineptitude that is resulting in fatally flawed teams getting thrown out there every season as he tries to gaslight us into believing things are moving in the right direction. Good think we extended him. You gotta lock that down.

I was hoping to get some small, tiny bit of satisfaction from them finishing over NHL .500, but the bums won't even do that. Let's run it back, I'm sure next year is the year it all comes together!

Almost 8-3. They are so, so bad.

7-3 Can this season just end already?

MOTHERTUCHER

My God, they are so bad...dreaming about tee times Sabres power play

They have. 😭

6-2 This team is trash.

It's almost like he has no idea what he's doing.

Yep. And we're seeing how far this is from being a playoff team. Quite a way. After 5 years.

And another one lol

We don't even like we belong on the same ice as them. Pathetic period.

The Lightning really are the anti-Sabres. Been good for a really long time and when they have a weakness on their roster, they quickly identify it and move aggressively to improve it.

Got hot for a couple of weeks, now they're gonna bleed out before reaching the finish line.

Here comes the collapse.

HOW DO YOU NOT CHALLENGE THAT? Mickey Mouse coaching staff, JFC

WTF???

A regression to the mean is always just around the corner when things are going well with this bunch. Too many flaws. I just hope there aren't many people that got sucked into that little outburst and thought that they were "figuring it out." Come October, they'll be the same calamitous mess they've always been.

How do you not send TNT out there in the shootout???
