I ask this as a question I don’t have an answer to: Would Jarmo take a GM job if he was subordinate to KA in the POHO or any manufactured position? I don’t think so but I can’t say for sure. If Terry P had some common sense he would move KA back to the business side of the operation and let him spend his time dealing with the concessionaires parking issues.

So for 💩s & giggles, we’ll also in despair (again) I give you AI’s take on how to fix this thing. Not rocket science to this group, but here it goes. Three scenarios….. WORST-CASE SCENARIO: “Do Nothing, Same Results” Playoff probability: <10% What Pegula does Sticks fully with current structure, hoping roster develops naturally. No significant trades, signings, or leadership changes. Continues the hands-off-but-still-influential management approach. What happens Defensive issues remain unaddressed; goaltending wears down. Young core struggles without veteran defensive help. Locker-room morale dips; organization feels directionless. Fan frustration spikes. End result Sabres finish near the bottom of the East again. Pegula is forced into a crisis-level summer: Coach hot seat GM questions Calls for selling the team grow louder The drought extends, potentially becoming the longest in major North American pro sports history.

Alrighty then.

If I’m following this correctly, no penalty was called at all, right? You can’t expect refs to randomly call a major penalty in a spot where they didn’t think anything happened at all. Fix the system, fine, but I don’t want refs just creating penalties out of thin air under any circumstances. That’s a recipe for disaster… it would probably satisfy the gambling overlords though.

I am sure he called someone’s mom a female dog. That should be inspiring, no? This is not how teams behave.

Oh you can go cold plunge to sauna, I am sure. KA & his flame of hope with this franchise.

Sorry, but no on the latter. Sabres keep losing and we don’t get a new toy (ex. New GM), but rather more coal in our stocking (Kevyn and maybe Seth)

Almost meaning we only had to pass 7 teams in the standings, not 8.

All possible BUT: - Tuch should be traded. He is gone in FA otherwise (unfortunately, if KA does the deal, it will be for picks, prospects, & a 4th G to add to the current roster (if 3 is good 4 better, right!?). - UPL will retire and become G coach in 2035, still with club in ‘55 You do not yet know the meaning of Misery. Yes it does & we stay on board.

The fecklometer says there was a normal amount of feck.

@steveoath come join us on this thread: Here we go again…….Kevyn

Agree Coach (we tend to be on same page). That said, Muel should but won’t fight (next game is 12/21 @NJ). Dunne or bring up Gerrt for the game. Sabres seen as a soft team & no respect. Someone needed to kick his butt on the spot or next shift. Nothing.

Motivation Waning.

They know what it takes to watch this team. I had the game on during dinner (we did Thanksgiving on Friday due to son's work schedule). It looked like Sabres were dominating at times but every time I looked up, NJ had another goal. Bah.

Sadly, you are correct.

I know the rule, and situations like this SHOULD be reviewed. Hell, they check for a toe pick over the line on offside challenge. Why not review when an obvious injury happened (oh, wait there I go using logic). Instead, no penalty called. Obviously,Sammy just spontaneously blew a leak in his nose & concussed himself.

Wow they struck gold with the beer sword

If you call Adams President of Hockey Operations, and Jarmo is the General Manager of the same, then Adams outranks Jarmo. What is unclear is who will Jarmo report to? Unless he reports directly to Terry he likely works for KA. I expect that Jarmo would want all the autonomy that he had in Columbus. What is also unclear is how Adams will define his role as POHO. I don't want this to happen, but it is a possibility.

$27; no STH discount. They seem to hold 24 oz. The line about 5 minutes into the 1st period still stretched to the main concourse (nearly 1/4 of the rink long). So at least 200 people still in the line, maybe even 3-400.

this is my fake surprised face. I actually feel bad for him this time only because he was probably the best Dman so far this season. Also I don’t necessarily believe it was intentional and I’m guessing the refs felt it was just a bad outcome of a hockey play. As soon as I saw him go down, I knew he would be out for a bit. Probably a bad idea since Muel will probably be out a month with a concussion if he fights him

Every replay I’ve seen has the actual contact edited out. Is that some grand design by the NHL? Does anyone have a link to the actual hit?
