    Thought meaningful relationship made them part of the club, and they did not betray close confidences if they wanted to stay on the inside.  

    Marv referred to Jerry as a jerk.  That says a lot.  

    Not overofficious tho.

    Was that the hottest Marv ever got? Something to do with Bruce?

    And they need to do this as play around the league gets tighter and more intense.

    This team has shown season after season that it can put up good performances for short stretches when there is no pressure, but never seems to rise up in pressure situations.  Its the hallmark of a skilled, but not very good team (if that makes sense).

    Show me. I’m from Missouri.

    "This team" didn't exist before this season.

    This is fun.

    If Adams gets moved out how do you think the players will feel?  

     

     

    Replaced by JK(K?) with all the slugs slotted up a notch? Not sure. I think they need a JOLT.

    I would bet the players have a bigger issue with their fossilized coach.

    Interesting question tho. Is the mini winning streak relief that change is coming, did the rumor provide a jolt of its own, did they feel bad about possibly costing someone his job, are they playing to save his job, or are they just a bunch of unthinking jocks who went and played three games and happened to win them?

    I don't know.

    Thank you.

    Every season there are a handful of fans that want to minimize the level of effort they need to be back in the playoffs.  “It’s only 6 points”, like they can leapfrog a bunch of teams next week.

    They’ve already dug a hole that would require elite level play to get out of.

    Have they been elite the last 15 games? They've secured 60% of points. 100 points left on the table. 32+60=92. Maybe enough?

    Last Dec. 15 the Sabres were 11-16-4 and in the midst of their losing streak. Also six points out, it felt insurmountable.

    The record this year, the trend line, offer a bit more hope. A bit.

    The reporter was born a curmudgeon and reported throughout his career as a curmudgeon. That was always his persona and act. And he would be the first person to tell you that it is so.

    You and TaroT should have lunch someday.

  6. Lyon's the man. Shocker.

    In other news, you don't fire your GM in the midst of a heater. That's just the real world. Not if Dude is being offered up as a sacrifice.

    If it's a golden parachute as part of rumored reorganization, the announcement could come anytime. But you can get more bang for your buck when everyone is in a tizzy.

    Reality: it's not xmas yet, the Sabres are NHL .500, it feels like the season is starting anew. FTR they are 9-6 since ending their losing streak.

  7. I'm starting to get a little queasy about all this. I never wanted KA and won't miss him. But Terry has to be delighted by all the scorn directed at his GM.

    Seriously, all we're going to do is send KA over the Falls with Thurman's helmet and expect both curses to lift?

    It has to go much deeper than that.

    I'm almost ready to root for a win tonight to officially save KA's job.

    Another thing: let's say KA does get shitcanned. The team comes alive and makes the playoffs. How much credit does KA deserve?

    Shrooms.

    Any non-sober person who followed the Sabres recognized early on that Terry P was a virus that was infecting this plagued franchise. It didn't take much talent to come to that obvious conclusion early on. It's like saying that crap stinks. You may not be aware of it but most of us were aware of it as soon as he started acting like a drunken fool once he took over. 

    Were you posting here then?

    It would be a big mistake. With a Dahlin trade you are essentially signaling that you will be going through another rebuild. That will likely mean that Tuch and Tage will also make it clear that they will also want out. And it wouldn't be a surprise if Tuch is in that category already. 

    Oh, no!
