Dallas is focused..

I think the Sabres are facing three contract issues: Byram wants a bigger role Peterka wants to get paid Tuch wants to know things are going to get better. Management needs to navigate each of those situations while making the team better. Aren’t you glad Kevyn is in charge.

So, wasn't Seravalli the one speculating the Sabres were trying to trade him at the deadline also? If so, seems like somebody really wants to do everything he can to help "his" team land a good player and isn't afraid to carry water for the guys he favors.

I think the one thing Terry misjudged in all of this, is that by doing the very least amount possible, like literally nothing, he's out the final nail in the coffin to convince literally everybody on the planet that he is THE PROBLEM in Buffalo. Like, he could still half ashed dodged the bullet had he fired Adams like everybody on the planet was screaming for him to do. By not firing Adams I think he actually made Buffalo an exponentially worse destination than it already is. And that isn't hyperbole. It's still not too late. Fingers crossed but it's a wet dream I know we are all riding the JA17 high, but I don't know how anybody isn't terrified of the post McBeane/Allen era assuming Pegula is still walking the earth. I truly believe he can permanently ruin all of Buffalo sports if given the opportunity.

You have no idea how depressing this post of yours is. Not because it acknowledges that Pegula had the right guy in his final 2 but chose the wrong guy; but because just like the other "rght" guy he didn't select with his 1st crack (thanks to the wonder that was Russ Brandon) the "right" guy was still available when the wrong choice was punted. But unlike with the Bills where he made THE right choice with the do over; he made the wrong choice again and that "right" choice was bumped up to GM elsewhere a few months later. The reality that Pegula got 2 cracks at making the right choice with both teams but only did so for 1 hit like a ton of bricks reading this. They could've had Bill Zito running that bridge season where they tried one final time to make a team built around Eichel work. Fack, we could've still had that entire core (well, minus O'Reilly because he was already gone) still here. Such a depressing summer and we're still more than 3 weeks from it officially being summer.

You just never know, he could be the next John Cooper. Karmanos probably hired him and would know him best. KA would rank Appert above him. Appert, Wilford and Ellis are locked in, there are no better coaches available, KA has done a deep dive into it. They just need more time for the palm seeds to take root. The new strength coach will whip the team into shape and turn them into beasts. We just need patience.

He just doesn't have the hair or nepotism needed sadly

Listening to the actual pod was … interesting? Seravalli danced so much about Peterka: said it was “probably fair’ that any trade talk was initiated by the player, but refused to say he wants out; called it a “classic change of scenery moment” but refused to say why a change of scenery was necessary, instead dancing to “a lot of players on the Sabres roster, well more than a 1/4, aren’t necessarily thrilled about the way things have gone and I don’t know if it’s entirely fair to put (Peterka) in that category, but there is enough sort of rumblings”; Moves on to this is a player who is also going to need “a massive new contract” and if you don’t sign him or trade by July 1, then he’s fodder for an offer sheet; but then said there “has to be some trepidation” from the Sabres. He didn’t say anything about Tuch, Samuelsson or Power being unhappy; he said Kevyn Adams has already let GMs know he wants to shake things up, then brought up those names and saying “are we going to see some of those supposed foundational core players moved?” Then “what if you have to trade him (Peterka)? You can’t put a gun to his head and make him put pen to paper.” Cohost: “You mean he might sit out?” Frank: “no I’m not saying that at all, I’m just spitballing here.” It felt like an utter load of half-truths and speculation calculated by an agent to manipulate the Sabres into offering the moon, or create a market where another team will step up and offer to do the same.

Wadr, no, that is not the question. The question is: can Kevyn Adams find better? Survey says: probably not.

This Patience

“How is it that Diggs is making a notoriously degenerate Black celebrity look like a good guy in comparison to Diggs? Oh my effing God.”

Good for Skinner.

Against the McDavid line. Bodes well for the Cats.

Skinner playing in the finals IS something a lot of people predicated once we let him loose and he signed with the Oilers. He has to be pumped.

Go Panthers

To be fair, I had to think about it for a minute too 😂 I bet Skinner puts that puck in a nice case and displays it in his dining room.

Skinner is now going to play hockey in June thanks to Hyman being done. lol true don’t know what I was thinking there

This is game 5.

Never lost a game 7, this is game 5... He gets to keep that streak

I believe DeBoer has never lost a game 7 before. Thought I’ve seen that stat. He’s about to.

Well thanks for clearing up this game early.

This doesn't look real.

Wow, at home, getting beat down Pulled Oettinger 🤔 wowwww

Dallas is going to get steamrolled tonight.
