Kevyn Adams, press conference Dec 27th, 2021

[LGR4GM]

Mentions Power could go to the Olympics for Canada.

[Stoner]

Can we save "press conference" for when Terry fires them all again? It's not like Adams walks in to flashing cameras and shouts of, "Mr. Adams! Mr. Adams!" before taking the lectern with the Sabres seal on the front, urging quiet and pointing to Helen Thomas of AP for the first question.

Do you prefer presser?  A term that needs to be shot into the sun along with physicality, washed and Audacy.

Who put your in charge of reffing?

I'd go with media availability.

That Helen Thomas reference is just spectacularly awesome, @PASabreFan.

Hard for grumpy Helen to ask questions since she has moved on from this mortal plain.

I think in Adams mind that is exactly what’s happening.

Or, more likely, I am projecting.

Potentially World Junior gold, Olympic gold, and NCAA champion in the span of 4 months, plus mens a World Championship gold (2021) all before playing a single minute in the NHL.

Literal definition of press conference

"an interview given to journalists by a prominent person in order to make an announcement or answer questions."

So no, we'll continue calling GM Kevyn Adams press conferences, press conferences.

Then next time you can start the thread. You don't have to ***** all over everything Sabres constantly.

I'm very curious to see if Power decides to go to the Olympics and if Buffalo is on board. I could see him wanting to be ready at Michigan for the ncaa tournament and not wanting to risk China quarantine. 

Adams seemingly in favor of that option during his press conference was interesting though.

Why not, were you expecting anybody else to date you?  😉

In modern lingo, maybe we need to say, "I hope that does not put too early a timestamp on me."

Not bad.

You are, but that doesn't make it any less hilarious and apropos.

Do you think it's possible Adams may prefer he doesn't go but does not want the kid to have any hard feelings towards the organization?

Idk, I'd hope they have an open conversation about it. I don't think Power has any hard feelings towards the Sabres though.

I agree, I don’t think he does either. I'm just mildly curious if Adams is making sure it stays that way, in possible opposition to what he may personally think might be best.
