This group needs 1 or 2 seasons of Lindy, then move on.

The guys on the team like him tho, he's a really nice guy... and we all know that's more important than wins and losses.

Or they were overpaid because of the "Buffalo Tax".... KA won't overpay, unlike other GMs in the recent past.

That plan only works if players want to be there and the team is not operating with a restrictive internal cap.

They have no chance. It's over. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Fowler, Dubois, Hertl, Zucker, Iafallo, Roslovic, Kapanen

EJ is as good as gone. Thanks for nothing ✌🏻

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

Patience is bitter, but it's fruit is sweet.

There were a few bad calls but the call he blew up on was the correct call... and his tantrum cost them at least a point. His unwillingness to apologize in the media seemed odd. Not very professional. Do better Donny.

Somebody needs to make a highlight reel of all the phantom calls on Benson.... it's absurd.

Turning point for the season.

of all the possible upgrades... a new roof? what's wrong with the current roof?

Games like this provide a glimpse into what they would look like with a head coach who could get them to show up consistently. They looked focused and motivated. Where has this been all season? We see it now simply because their backs are against the wall, but it's too little too late.... again. Points in October and November are just as important.

Disagree. What did UPL do to deserve the #1 spot early in the season? KA gave each guy a chance to claim the job, none did until UPL halfway through the season.

Big game from Cozens today, I can feel it in my bones.

This is it. This is the turning point for this much maligned franchise. A victory today and a 3 game winning streak turns into 10, carrying this momentum into a playoff birth for the first time in 12 years. On the shoulders of a hot UPL they win their first league championship in franchise history, capturing 5 of the next 10 Stanley Cups as their seemingly bottomless pipeline of young talent matures year after year evolving into one if the greatest dynastys the game has ever seen. Or not.

They've also played the second fewest games, but yeah UPL is running hot which is nice to see. They're also 5th in goals for %. Should be better than 10 wins 8 loses over that stretch.

Your complaint is misdirected.

I place 100% of the blame on the local fans lack of support.

Good post. Adams plan is in motion. It's tough to be patient considering the past 13 years, but he's building the team the right way. This season has been a painful lesson for this young squad. After a red hot second half last season, some regression was expected... add in some key injuries plus a young over-confident roster.... and we end up here. Playoffs are never a guarantee, it requires a commitment and discipline both on and off the ice over the course of the entire season, not just in spurts. These kids are learning that lesson, but as fans of this franchise it's painful and frustrating after 13 years.
