Indeed!!! Lol

I think it is a little less Salt Lake and Buffalo hockey markets per se... I think he like Utah and the excitement that went with a new team and expectations at we are just happy to be here... he comes to a hornets nest in Buffalo and uses the term hockey market as a Euphemistic way of saying its really nasty here, people have nothing nice to say about the team, they boo us and the relationship with the fans and the press is one of acrimony and toxicity because of 14 years of abject stupidity and neglect... (aka the is a hockey market here that has a history and its a really bad one) bottom line to me is he has already taken notice of how bad things are here.

This is like saying, If I can dunk a basketball on a 10 foot net would you let me play in the NBA... that is a pretty safe bet that isnt gonna happen... I think at this point if Adams can pull a turnaround with this team and get them to the playoffs... sure lol let him stay you can fire him in november of next year ... bottom line we are currently in last place in the conference... again... the hole gets deeper... we are going to need to play like a contender to win the division to make the playoffs... the injuries are insane... I just dont see a path for that to happen... 14 points currently and 6 points out we need to theoretically increase our point production by 43% plus make up the 6 to keep pace and be in a tie for a playoff spot... coincidentally I would need to increase my leaping ability by the same amount to dunk a basket ball LOL 😄

Start about 19/20 mins

Honestly the whole thing is a really good pod cast... so its hard to time stamp the 6 or 7 salient points

I get it... but Matthew... its over... make your tee times... nothing changes until Pegula sells or brings in competent management. Everything else I agree with... Why would we let Adams make trades? Why would we not want the new GM to be able to assess this team... Why is Adams here? etc..

The abject ineptitude of this management is literally unparralleled... the they make the federal Government look like the bastion of practicality and efficiency...

Major rebuild... Thompson, Dahlin, Tuch, Power are not going to all stand for this much longer... there is no way out... our star players are going to defect, we will be unable to procure equal assets because of NMCs and we will get young players/prospect and picks... but no one who will immediately come in and make this team measurably better... there is no white knight only more pain... and starting over aaaaaaaaaagain....

Exactly Ray and Domi were like 5 10 200 or so lbs... Wendell Clark about the same, Peca even lighter, Danny Gare smaller than that... the list goes on... I could also then bring in Mike Wilson, Tyler Myers, Uwe Krupp, Dave Andreychuck, who were not known as physical players... I think the constant is that we wanted them to be more physical because they had the size to make it an advantage (although Andreychuck was a beast down low controlling the puck) but toughness is more about mindset (see Zach Benson) and less about physical size... although actually having the mindset AND the physical size is optimal for effectiveness.

I would say if firmly entrenched in last place in the conference is real... we are so for real....

I think this is what we honestly all want... its just that after 14 years expecting him to actually change that radically seems a bit of a farce... but certainly if he was able to and bring in the appropriate people to run it and get results I am not sure you would have any objections from this board.

No clue, but I am really not seeing MB on my list for insider info LOL... but hey ya never know

Just never imagined we would be in that spot but here we are killing it

The Quinn line is gonna kill us... Who woulda thought that McLeod would be our No 1 center LOL Who woulda thought that McLeod would be our No 1 center LOL

IMO there needs to be an eradication of anyone associated with this FO, a respected and tenured GM/POHO needs to be brought in and then let them decide.... so bottom line is I think they all need to go... but If you bring in a respected GM/POHO I am fine with Adams going and let the new GM decide on players and staff... retool, rebuild or torch it...
