Well, they finally got a shot this period

Not looking great right now...Bandits been behind since the get go down 2 goals multiple times...10-9 currently. 6:30 left in the 3rd quarter.. Bandits trying to seize momentum but Saskatchewan constantly answers. EDIT: 11-10 Bandits now...that was quick...

Half assed reminded me of something Terry said on Day One. He said he didn't care if the Sabres changed gear out there in the lobby. But a new lockerroom did come to pass so that Kim could have her first major project. He truly doesn't care about making the Sabres NHL class at the very least. The Olean boys changed on the bus donchaknow.

I’d like to see Dallas run the table

Tied at 3-3 after 2. Amerks tie it up with :39 seconds to go. Rousek with a gritty goal.

Looking like a waste of money at this juncture.

These kids are well down that path before the age of 9. I recall watching a Toronto based team starring a certain kid in this draft that was executing regroups and zone entries when they were 7 and 8 years old. These kids were probably all identified since they were 4 or 5 and pushed into the meat grinder from there. To have the time to work on those systems, plus get them skating and playing with the skill they had was mind blowing.

I've always wondered how much this matters: the Gordie Howe/Ted Nolan magazines for shinpads path versus the "My parents have invested everything they could since the day I was 9" path.

All the TO players look terrified. I want a game seven. Not sure we're going to get it.

Ugh another stupid bounce Laval ties 2-2.

Nice to see the Amerks standing up to the Rocket BS.

He interviewed other GM's and Coaches on previous hires before KA and Lindy. So again, not something he hasn't done. It's not worked.

Number one reason Rousek isn’t an NHL player, too much deference. Shoot the puck. I’ve now seen multiple passes when he has a point blank shot at the net. Then he drop passes it into oblivion. What is you doing.

Tip in by Rosen from Johnson shot from near the point! #FutureSabresScore! ROCH 2 LAVAL 1

Stupid bounce Laval ties. And the Amerks answer! Rosen 2-1! Radio stream: The Sports Leader 95.7 FM and AM 950 | The Fan Rochester https://share.google/fBDYmr7ZErNsCyQy9

We aren’t spending to the cap on post count, either: be my guest

True, I think, and that is why there's not much sympathy for TP. He's not just a clueless fella that would like things to end well. There's an arrogance that permeates that kind of ineptitude.

He better hurry up. A generation of his foolishness has already passed us by. And when you are on the down side of the mountain, as I am, patience isn’t a virtue. I’m not a downtrodden pessimist. I strongly believe that with the right person at the helm who can make a few judicious moves this sunken ship can be back floating with most of the other functioning ships. And that is that primary source of my exasperation. I like you hate the negativity. It’s depressing and depleting. What I’m hoping to see is the owner taking some actions that changes the dynamics in a good way so the discussions are hockey and player related.

Pretty much every conversation. Sometimes I want to talk about other things than what a total bitch my friend’s ex-wife is, even when I agree with him.

They aren’t looking to make the playoffs: they are looking to make the playoffs while spending less they aren’t looking for senior leadership: they are looking for senior leadership that will report to Kevyn Adams Manual. Ineptitude.

Clague on the PP! 1-0 Amerks.

So it looks like it's going to be another one sided officiating night. 🙄

But a lot of these conversations bleed back into the same thing: until you admit that appearing at a Rochester game literally does not bear mentioning relative to our unwillingness to spend to the cap, and what that means for Terry’s commitment, you’ll go in circles Almost everything Terry does is half assed where the Sabres are concerned: yes, that’s the answer for you. A lot of rich people behave this way: they see themselves so far above most others that to them, a 40% effort OUGHT to be enough, nay, rightly should be the sabres missing for 14 years straight is the opposite of a coincidence. And it’s not correlation: it’s causation. And yes, it’s inevitable. You can’t that many times in a row by chance: manual ineptitude. And what makes them so infuriating is I’m sick of hearing about how incompetent they are: cause that’s not it. They are willfully incompetent, which is much worse Yea, their non-thoroughness is a reason for the inevitable ineptitude. It’s the reason. Ownership is half assed. Why is this a question. I’ve been screaming this for 5 years I’m gonna start getting mad now: THEY AREN’T TRYING HARD ENOUGH TO WIN. What is non-thoroughness if not that? No stone unturned is what I say. They do they opposite the answers are in the room

Sample size - - - 2021 was a covid season full of anomalies in a bubble with odd divisions it shouldn’t be looked upon for much of anything Didn’t even quote anyone lol

And in 2021? 2017? 2013? To be clear, you have jumped to a different conversation than the one between @JohnC and @tom webster that I was responding to: that conversation was about whether or not the current state of the Sabres is the inevitable result of not doing a thorough search for your leaders.
