GDT: Buffalo Sabres @ CalGARY Flames, 9 pm ET, 23 January 2025, TV SN1, MSG-B, Radio WGR AM 55

[Doohicksie]

Snuff out those Flames.

[Mustache of God]

A win tonight brings us within 2 points of the 15th place team in the conference (while having played 2 more games). 

Maybe a W tonight lays a solid foundation for a 20 game win streak.

I admire your misguided optimism.

Any given Thursday?

Only 11 points out of 8th! Maybe they will break 80 points after all...

I do appreciate the phonetic spelling of CalGARY for our Canadian friends.

At least this one (likely) won't go past midnight for our friends on eastern time.

I'm split between rooting for a loss or win at this point vs a western team that i dont care about.  Ambivalence it is

Never go rooting for the loss.

Don’t root for a loss. There is no McDavid in this draft.

I'm not rooting for a loss, but for those who are its not all about the draft picks.

Some root for losses in the hope that things get SO bad that it will force more changes, whether that is trades, GM/coach changes, or even massive roster changes.

So again, I personally do not watch the games myself rooting for a loss....to me its more one-night entertaiment...but its not all about the draft picks for those that do.

[PerreaultForever]

I will be sure I am dead and I am in hell if the Sabres get the overall first pick and (as it looks like today) a left shot D man is the consensus top pick in the draft. 

Just win some f'n games, entertain a little, sell at the deadline, fire Adams, and Terry, maybe he gets to retire in Florida and hug a Superbowl trophy for the rest of his days while he gets to frak baby frak and he lets somebody else run this damn thing. 

otherwise it's all just a bad joke that never ends.

I'm never rooting for losses but I'd be lying if there's a part of me that's intrigued by how many losses in a row this team can rack up before Adams is fired.

Problem is that there just doesn’t seem to be a SO bad for the powers that be. It’s like TP got so used to digging deep for shale to frack that he just can’t relate to how deep the bottom for his hockey team really is.

Quantiatively:

HC Krueger got 12 losses in a row and Granato lost another 6 in a row when he started, so we know it's at least 18. And GM Sheevyn did hold a press conference about Krueger saying it wasn't good enough on 3/5/2021 when the losing streak was only 5 games, then held on for another 12 days and 7 consecutive losses before the firing.

Ruff was allowed 13 losses this year and GM Sheevyn didn't even have to give him the vote of confidence press conference, just lament about palm trees.

Qualitatively:

To fire Adams? It's not performance based. He listens the owners and shouldn't that be enough?

Rooting for losses is not anything I will do.  

Play to win - change the culture starting now.

A loss is probably best for draft position, however I hate the redneck flames and redneck oilers. Anytime they’re playing in Alberta I want us to thump them.
