  1. The offseason so far - Are the Sabres better?

    You’ll have to watch this space. I’ll keep an edit. Don’t know if I’ll be able to fine an exact quote but there will be a lot of funny stuff 

    - - - 

    “We have to embrace expectations,” general manager Kevyn Adams said Wednesday as the Sabres opened training camp. “I look at pressure as a privilege.”

    This was Adams saying they needed to embrace the expectations of making the playoffs, *2 years ago* 

    pReSsUrE iS a PrIvAlEdGe 😂

    “When I think about playoffs, our expectation of course is there but, honestly, our expectation is to win the Stanley Cup,” Adams said. “I think our window’s open right now and our goal is to be giving ourselves a chance every single year.”

     

    - - - 

    Thought this quote from Friedman provided by dudacek is pretty interesting as it’s not just marek spitballing and Elliot is usually pretty reliable 

    “They’ve talked a lot about this internally, if they don’t go to the playoffs this year, there could be big consequences. Everyone understands there are no excuses this season.

    ”You’re looking at a lot of other players and you’re saying guys, it’s not good enough to talk about it.”

     

    Yep. About what I remember. Nobody ever owned it.

    😂"Big consequences" That’s really funny.

    Better than what?

    Let this sink in for a second:

    Last year this GM stood up and said “No more excuses, it’s playoffs or bust for this team.” Then he put together a team that were one Bruins sell off away from ending last in the division.

    The owner didn’t think that was a fireable offence or that owning a team for 14 years and not making the playoffs one time is a big issue.

    The GM has put together a similar offseason so far this year.

    What are we even doing anymore? The Sabres are the laughingstock of the league and no one associated with the team seems to care.

    I don’t believe that ever happened. Unless someone can find the PC where this was said to prove me wrong, I remember them dancing around that sentiment, but never having the balls to actually say it.

    The sentiment of the tweet is fine, but the execution is a failure. The photo on the right is the first practice. The poster needs to wait until 7/3 and take the photo. It will still be a stark contrast because it'll be in Harborcenter and about half the players. But it will at least be an apples to apples comparison.

    There were some years I had to buy tickets and/or sit in the very corner for this scrimmage because it was so packed.

    How do you like them apples?

    There were more people at that scrimmage than most games this year.

    It’s just disgustingly depressing what has been done to this team.

    Jarmo's advice was don't do what Admiral Pegula tells you.  Adams couldn't comprehend that statement. It short circuited his brain. His thought process was broken on Pegula is right, defend, Pegula, right, defend.  

    And that's how we ended up with all the RHD and no sign of Jarmo.

    Love that.

    My goodness, what a joke this is turning into. A worn out lazy joke.

    In a week where we just lost one of our "develop from within" guys, it’s not a joke. It’s what happens.

    Enjoy Quinn while you can. You got two years before he will get paid by someone else.

  19. Sabres Trade JJ Peterka to Utah for Defenseman Michael Kesselring and Forward Josh Doan

    I wonder how much this has to do with more Sabre fans OK with this one more than I thought, and more than the average NHL fan?

    Not sure what this means, but JJ was okay. I liked him, but he was no world beater. Was he good for his age, sure. Does he have potential to be great, maybe, but so do the guys coming back.

    I’m more upset because of the reasons Thorny brought up. We were sold that we couldn’t spend to the cap because we needed to save that $$ for when our young players got good and we needed to keep them. That was and remains BS.

    I hope the trade works out for us. I’ll wait til the season to judge it.

    Ok bro - whatever issue you have that makes you this way… That is your issue. Good luck with it.

    Sure, bro whatever you say… An emergency doctor from Seattle Washington is a plant by the Buffalo Sabres. But good luck with that idea and whatever other conspiracy theories you have. By the way that noise just heard it’s probably an alien in your backyard.

    Tell Kevyn we say hello. 😂

  24. Chad D’s Latest Mock Offseason

    You are having a good time mocking me. It’s apparent to all that I’m out of step and out of tune.

    True story: In grammar school at graduation my malicious music teacher told me not to sing at the ceremony but to just mouth the words and fake singing. 😀

    You think too highly of yourself. My jokes have nothing to do with you. I’m just having fun.

    When it comes to music I'm a dullard. The era I'm still musically attached to is MoTown.  Don't mock me because I deserve empathy for being so far out of touch. 

     

    There is no band Internal Disgruntlement. I was joking.

    I mean, maybe there is, but they certainly don’t have 3 albums.

    I mean, maybe they do, but the third one certainly isn’t a masterpiece.

    I mean, maybe it is, but I’ve never heard it.
