“Bills and Sabres win, but there’s still gonna be people complaining about their front offices and Terry Pegula.”

From 32 Thoughts this morning. There is definitely noise with here, not sure about when the clarity will come Monday or Tuesday. Spoke about the subtle ways teams put out fires when rumors start and that has not been done in this situation. Adams has not been in a good mood on the trip even with them winning the last three and wonders if he and the people around the organization know something is coming. Friedman mentioned the Sabres have too many cooks in the kitchen and this predates Jarmo. Jarmo tried to stay out of the way and get a true opinion on the organization and as time went on he started to offer his opinion. The last thought was we will see what happens but it has that feel around the organization.

Apparently winning in garbage time can happen before Christmas

Because I refuse to believe anything with this team until it actually happens.

They in no way "white-knuckled" the third period tonight.

Nah dude, everyone knows the biggest confidence builder to a team is palm trees. Just see how many cups Florida has since 2000. I rest my case. Oh hey - If Kevyn DOES get fired.... I might be the next GM...!?

I love this forum: The plan is in place, the replacements are ready to assume their new roles, and it was even leaked to the press prior to the official announcement. BUT NO! Terry says, "STOP EVERYTHING! REVERSE THE WHOLE PLAN! WE JUST WON THREE IN A ROW! Yes, we're at the bottom of the division BUT WE JUST WON THREE IN A ROW! HOW SILLY OF ME TO ACTUALLY THINK OF FIRING KA!

Haha Seattle is 1-5 in their last six at home and have a total of ten goals in those games. And the Sabres still had to white-knuckle most of the the third period. Obviously I’ll take it, but it’s hard to get excited.

He's been the 6th D man for the whole trip and for 69% (22/32) of Sabres games this season. But I agree, he's been pretty good. I trust him more than Timmins to make the right play.

Three straight wins, and on the road!! Weird.

Lyon was outstanding. His win/loss does not do him justice. passing was really good tonight. Shout out to Bryson on this road trip. He’s been a good seventh dman.

In defense of their historic ineptitude, nothing can also be "something" 😋

For those saying nothing will happen. These rumours got out and the Sabres would have quickly released a statement saying there is no truth to these unfounded rumours. Instead they officially said “no comment Sonething is coming.

First things first. Jarmo is a better GM than KA. The real question is will TP give him the autonomy he needs to make the right moves from the coaches, to the staff, to the players and with the appropriate internal budget to get things done. If TP limits Jarmo in any of these areas, then nothing is going to change for the better.

I’m not worried about the Adams news, all I need do is look at the standings and know he should be gone, 3 wins in a row or not.

So the Sabres somehow finished 500 on the roadie. Shocking. They did play a solid game tonight and Lyon was very good. Hopefully this does not make TP reconsider his decision to promote Adams to Harbour Center Rink Manager.

I agree. A goalie battling all night to keep the puck out of the net must give a huge shot of adrenaline to his players out in front of him. At the other end of the spectrum, when a goalie can never make the big saves to save a game, then the frustration is obvious that sets in for the players and things go south. That's the way it seems to have been for the Sabres all these years when they never had a real goalie. Whether or not he can keep it up, I really think Lyon has proven what stellar goal tending means to the spirits of an entire hockey team, something KA didn't seem to realize for way too many years.

His draft history is great though. He got 1-2 NHL caliber players (quick too) from like 8 straight years. That's pretty solid.

Like a crazy chick who's fun to be with and also hell to be with.

Damn...this team is bipolar

Well they found a way to win so now false hope. Kevy keeps his job? If that's the case it's actually a terrible outcome. I was getting hyped for a Kev firing on Monday. As I was saying earlier Seattle has next to no offense. That Melanson kid was noticeable. Their Kuntar.

It's been 17 years since this nonsense about coaching started, and still I have to tell people that the coach is not the problem. Geez.

I guess he pukes every game. But it is usually in the locker room.

How bad will firing Adams look to the league? Not an issue. Adam’s was never on any team’s radar for a front office hockey operations job, let alone a GM position. It would be looked at as something that had to happen at some point. Move him to POHO - this would be a bad move. Move him to POHO puppet - this is even worse. Move him outside of hockey ops - I don’t understand that but it’s a strange organization so who knows. Lindy’s coaching career will end after the season. He could end up an Advisor to Pegula (first) and also to the GM.
