Make peace with Pat LaFontaine? Hire an experienced PoHO? Kim and Terry hold a presser tomorrow and announce "From this day forward, the two of us will have nothing to do with the hockey side of the business"? The Academy of Hockey is to be dissolved ASAP, therefore no more candidates for promotion? Send Rigas back to jail? Get rid of "Here we go now, Here we go now..." and replace immediately with "Swords of a Thousand Men"?

Yep. There is only one major change coming for 21-22, and that is the decreasing number of STH, and fans in the stands.

Bye bye. Ralphie has reigned him in somewhat in terms of his skating recklessly all over the place, but I see no value in him as a ~5 mil cap hit blue liner. I mean no value being part of this group. Not necessarily no trade value.

Kevyn: Hey Jack we're going to regroup...you know replace my fantastic off-season acquisitions of Staal, Hall, Rieder, Eakins, Davidson and Irwin with... on the other hand, NVM. Where would you like to be traded?

^^^^ This!!!!

I never ever want to go down the tank road again. I'm just saying they are going nowhere this year, and all it took was a couple of weeks of play to figure that out....but that won't stop the powers that be, to try and make excuses for another dismal season.

I wonder how many NHL teams have separate radio and tv broadcast? I wouldn't think this would be any issue with Mr. Drill A Well(if I need more money).

My guess is they leave him unprotected. There is no place on this team for a physical presence.

Yes. Snake Oil Ralphie! I am sick of hearing about how past GM/HC candidates have come recommended by the league. Do they expect me to believe that they only recommended a single candidate in each of those scenarios. The Pegula's have screwed this up over and over again by hiring inexperienced people(outside of Bylsma), and Adams is proof that they are going in the wrong direction in terms of less experience, not MORE! Kim & Company can take their flat org structure and stick it where the sun don't shine. a$$holes continue to screw this up beyond belief.

Pandemic...two week shutdown during the season blah blah blah Risto extended absence, covid related blah blah blah McCabe out for the year blah blah blah Playing in front of no fans blah blah blah The stars are aligning perfectly for Kym and her lapdog Kevyn. Now there is no urgency to make any moves except for dumping Staal and Hall at the TDL.

No no no. Can’t be changed. Kym has to show the stupid fan base how she is a leader in diversification by having a rap song(and a black rapper) as the teams goal song. Kym = Smart & Fans = Stupid. She is such an awesome team president. 😤

So does he sign a multi-year deal in the off-season at a lower pay due to the injury, or a 1 year prove it deal? Sucks for him. The timing could not have been worse.

Whenever I think about the Pegula era, I think about how half the teams make the playoffs each year, and wonder how the heck have they missed the playoffs the last 10 years. You would think luck enough would allow you to make it once in 10 years.

That is a very depressing list of team stats. 😞 Hockey Heaven...pfffttt. 🤬

I read something on Dan(might have been wiki) that he has turned down other job offers I’m recent years. That guarantees the full time gig is his when RJ retires. That sucks. 😡

Terry Pegula’s 1st press conference as Sabres owner. How did the franchise get from there to where it is today? 😞

You would think a young prospect would be better served in Rochester and the AHL vet on the taxi squad.

Where is Jonas Johansson nowadays?

I wonder how the wifey feels about Saskatoon?

Kind of difficult with the way the season is going. 😉

I had no idea it was an afternoon game. Just checking in now...and see that they won. 👍

Dunleavy and there isn’t a close second. if I was allowed multiple votes, I would have also voted for Ray, Rivet, Peters and DJ Kool.

58 points in his first 73 NHL games is impressive. I don't care how many are via the PP. Bottom line he is contributing, and his 5 on 5 play seems to be better than last season.

Just quoting so that this gem never disappears from the internet. 😂 If I’m wrong I’ll be more than happy to eat crow.

They don’t need to make a statement...don’t you know they are better informed than the idiot fans. I just can’t believe that this franchise is such a mess. I think RK schmoozed the Pegula’s into hiring him as the HC...the ultimate flim flam man, charlatan, motivational BS artist, etc... 😡😡😡
