The person that fixes it is the person who says “we know we owe the fanbase for what WE have put them through.” Only upon acknowledging the franchise they work for is one that needs a fix relative to what it has become *regardless of their presence* can it be fixed. The fix is relative to what the franchise *is*, no one gets to avoid that fact because they fancy themselves not a part of the original sins the franchise needs the medicine it needs. KA thinking a fresh plan could be instituted in 2021 without it being reflective of the mess it was being lumped onto was the key failing of this GM.

The New York Jets have been eliminated from the NFL playoffs for a 15th straight year. We can’t sit on our hands. We need to keep up. Have to let Adams steer this season into another elimination.

Game 29 and we are 8 points out with everyone ahead of us in the conference. The math is already becoming difficult to overcome without a near miraculous run the rest of the way.

this feels like a must win. i hope that the players/coaching staff have the wherewithal to realize that and act accordingly

No, you’re right I know for a fact they detail the stick salute fiasco to newcomers like Kesselring They don’t claim the drought. No one does. There’s a disenfranchisement made known to every employee who dons the logo

The only working theory I've come up for these phenomena (and some date back decades, like Buffalo's woes in Pittsburgh) is that each successive group of players is infected by those who stick around and are "in the players ears," like the broadcast crew, trainers, medical/therapy folks, equipment managers and the like. Is the chatter going into Pitt, "Oh man we never play well in that building." Not a great theory, tbh. As Rummy said, there are unknown knowns.

Post-Covid Sabres in Calgary 3-1-0 Post-Covid Flames in Buffalo 4-1-0 Last year was the only time they flipped the results. Don't know why the Flames tend to play well in Buffalo and the Sabres tend to play well in Calgary. They just do. Why did Buffalo go 12-2-1 over 11 seasons against the Snarks with the only drubbing against being the Thornton game? Sometimes stuff just seems to happen. Though really not happy UPL is getting the start. Maybe they SHOULDN'T win afterall. 😉

And if they win, maybe Adams’ plan is working after all like sand through the hour glass..

We’ve had 3 guys (and still have 1) that would have been everything we ever wanted had we built properly around them, which makes it so much worse

I miss Patty LaLa and Mogilny dancing around defenses. I miss Mike Peca blasting dudes with their heads down at center ice. I miss the 05-07 teams embodying what the league wanted to become even though they abandoned that philosophy the minute the Sabres were good at it. I miss the Ray, May Barnaby days. I miss Ryan Miller’s consistency. He had his detractors. I was never one of them. He always gave the Sabres a chance to win. The Sabres haven’t had consistent goaltending since his departure. They’ve been completely forgettable since 2011. Just no one that moves the needle at all.

UPL was in the starters net yesterday at practice....ugh But on the bright side that means he wont be playing tomorrow

Are they really?

The Sabre's are the better team. Should be an easy win....😂

You know you still lose at least 60% on a write-off, right? Usually a lot more too depending on the category.

Aside from Dahlin, I miss Eichel and Reinhart way more than I would miss any of the slags on this current team if they were traded.

Trade UPL Marry Levi **** Lyon

Because? Say it. They sho... shou... Flames 6-3-1 in last 10.

You missed my sarcasm. The Bills needed KC to implode before now. The Bills have been close to imploding themselves, and other teams have cut line. Sports is grossly unfair. As is life. Grandfather dies, father dies, son dies is the natural order. If the Bills aren't in the Super Bowl this year, something is wrong with the universe. Also, proof there is no God.

At first glance I thought this said feces... Would've been more fitting

I thought about him being in a contract year this year and the fact that the team isn't doing well. The reason I think it's the initial stages of him showing some signs of age is... When you look at his skating, it's been on a downward trend for 3 to 4 years now.

Probably. But Ruff changes lines frequently. It might click for a game or two and if it doesn’t he will change them again.

So many plays are going to die on Greenway's stick in the offensive zone.

I said this before... There's the right way, the wrong way, and there's the Greenway. The Greenway is the same was the wrong way, only lazier

WHY THE ^**($#)%&)(#&$)(*#& is Greenway on the first line? I think that Lindy thinks this will add defense to the line. He was going to make a "beard line" but none of Tuch, Greenway, or Zucker can play center, so he decided on a tall line instead. Which goalies name will be picked from the helmet and get the start tonight? Lyon, unless the players want UPL in the net, gonna have to check with Dahlin first. Does Noah Östlund enjoy free flights from Calgary to Rochester? Not in coach, no. Did he get miles? All flights are charged to the Sabres Team AMEX Card and the airline loyalty points are collected under the name of Kelly Pegula. (All part of a EEE cost savings strategy she recommended to Daddy). What if Zach Benson scores a goal that isn't disallowed? Is this a trick question. He cannot score. Will the Universe end? No, but is possible that at least WNY and parts of Southern Ontario will vaporize. What would happen if Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch both decided to drag this team into the playoffs? They would be pretty tired by the trade deadline and at that time Tuch will be sent to Boston for a protected first rounder and a prospect that currently leads the AHL in penalty minutes. Would we give them a key to the city? No, not since Terrell Owens lost the keys in Canton, Ohio. If a goalie makes a saves in Calgary but no one is watching, is it goalie interference? No, NHL rules clearly state that only if he lets in a goal will goalie interference be called.
