Kevyn Adams, Stanley Cup winning hockey player, really comes through in his stated philosophy. He's drawing on his reputation there to lend weight to his decision making.

It's definitely the mature approach to the situation. They don't want to end up looking like an organization that shits on its players in public.

Adams making his case well for how they're handling the injury

Of course my feed on the Audacy app just fell off a cliff

So did Jim Jones

Did Krueger really have communication skills?

I suspect the goal here from the Sabres perspective is to provide the juice for the "Eichel is selfish" narrative if it comes out that he's overblowing the disconnect on the treatment and is essentially pouting his way out of town. It's good for them to put Jack's words in plain sight.

There is no "overriding" the team doctor, there is only firing the team doctor.

Curt is right though.

The last thing I care about is what a bunch of "team execs" want to float to the media.

Irrelevant

I like a good story more than anything, and The Tank ending like this could be the kind of thing you make a documentary out of that would make The Four Falls an enjoyable watch by comparison.

Doesn't sound like it. Maybe he sees some potential with these kids. I bet he'd like to at least call a playoff game before he retires.

Playing a good third should get them a win. Pitt isn't really doing much.

Jesus RJ bringing the heat in this intermission segment

I'm gonna be so sad when RJ decides to hang it up. The best to ever do it and I will fight anyone who disagrees.

Talk about a team I wouldn't want to be a fan of. I'll take the Sabres over whatever has been going on there since Osgood retired.

Rightly so my ass. Dude has abused himself for this fan base and for what? You want him to be the next Tim Connolly? A guy falsely ridiculed. Because I don't. I've made that mistake and I won't be making it again. Jack gives everything his body will let him give every night. It's not his fault it's been a total dumpster fire around here his whole career.

Given that Bylsma hasn't worked his way back to a HC job I'm not gonna say he was a good coach, but he was definitely the least worst.

I don't see his role as SabreSpace Whipping Boy changing

Welp, the effort was fine. They just got beat.

The kids are alright

Exactly. But here we are. And they always end up looking like a black stain on the front page of this forum until they're inevitably closed much too late, logged forever in the bowels of the internet that never forgets. Patrick Berglund doesn't need anyone here to defend him against sexual assault charges, so why do it? "Looks bad, man." is just about the only response any of us is in a position to give. Anything beyond that starts looking foolish at best.
