That it might not be better isn’t a salient argument for not canning Adams

The bolded is not what I would want and would be disappointing. But, right now I would probably take it, so long as: 1.) Appert was named HC on an interim basis, so that Kekalainen can bring in his own guy at year's end (if Appert doesn't pull off a miracle); and 2.) A new assistant is brought in to coach the power play. Kekalainen might make an impactful trade or two. Appert might relate better to the players on the team and adjust the system, as Granato did when he replaced Krueger, to match the skills of the players. A new assistant coach might ignite the PP. I'm reaching here.

I voted to lose because I want Adams out now, but then I pause and think: What will losing do when the owner is someone we cant trust that will put the necessary resources back into the organization, and get a sharp Team Prez/GM and hire the right coach, and spend to the cap? I don't see it, so wouldn't it be more of the same?

Jack Quinn played well against Ottawa last year, 3 goals in 4 games last year. For his career vs Ottawa, 10 games 3 goals (all last year), 2 asissts, -5. (full season that would project out to 25 goals, 16 assists, and a -41)

I made a deal with them. Once they are in a playoff position at any time after November 15th, I will start watching. Until then, I'm giving my brain some well needed rest from them.

There is a impressive year for the swedes. There is also Bjork, Hermansson and Nordmark. But Stenberg is the best.

I feel like you could open any draft thread at any page over the last 10 years and there will be at least one mention of an “Eklund”

That is the best case scenario for me. If they win by multiple goals AND control play, I'll at least have a shred of hope again they have a chance of turning this around quick.

I would give Ellis a shot for sure.

You know what they say. The greatest ability is the ability to count. One! One game played by Norris. Ah, ah, ah.

Did they waive Ellis back to STL already or are they going to carry 3 goalies for a couple months again? And let two of them rot while Ruff runs Lyon into the ground?

Lyon was in the starters net

I tried to Kreider him.

Plowing straight into the tender, ya

Hope not. Upl is bad

He reminds me of a better William Eklund.

I think what you say is exactly what happens... he simply shuffles this incestuous cesspool of dystfunction... and players start to walk...

I don't remember this at all, but that does look like my signature move.

Yup, we just have to start forcing the breaks to go our way and hope they pick up positive momentum. Start with a win tonight 👍

Aren’t we starting our backup tonight?

Neither have you contributed a single goal, as evidenced by this video from 5 years ago, from shortly before Adams took over. thankfully @PASabreFanpicked up the slack. Can’t imagine the win total amassed in this clip alone is too far off the total garnered by the Adams regime since

I'll be watching on delay as I'll be calling a high school volleyball game on cable TV tonight. PM for a link. It might be more exciting to watch.

Yeah, it went something like this:

If he doesn't care, why should I? I'm going on twelve years without giving the Sabres one cent of my money.
