A couple of other notes on Columbus: In their search for centres, I think they’ve talked to Buffalo about Sam Reinhart. The Sabres are looking at goalies; Joonas Korpisalo or Elvis Merzlikinswould be a sensible target. This theory of mine was received with mixed reactions when mentioned on last week’s podcast. No guarantee it happens because there will be other options for both teams, but they are sensible trade partners. from 31 Thoughts Expand Mixed reactions? The entire Sabres fanbase on mass called it the trash idea it is without significant adds from Columbus. It's a garbage idea. It's one of the dumbest trade ideas since ror. 3 Quote

Therapy is up for a reason. It's not saving us, though. Expand It's a good point. I'd also say that our unwillingness to take time to come to a decision plays into that. We need to process and compartmentalize every action within 5 minutes (or so it seems) when decisions and processes actually take a lot longer to occur. For someone like Kevin Adams, making decisions on the action of the team is his primary focus. He will spend countless hours, days, weeks, going over possibilities while handling the constant changes happening within the hockey spectrum. For fans, they are doing the same thing, but they are also looking at everything else happening around them, including their own jobs and lives, and then try to reach the same level of decision making Kevin Adams makes but doing so with 1/1000th of the time to invest and 1/100th of the information Adams has. People gotta go with the flow, and stay in their lane. It's all cool to discuss but commentary on here reaches feverish pitch faster than a Ferrari reaches 60 and then it's a straight NOS shot to the hyperbole. 1 Quote
