    Yes to both, but I wouldn't be upset if Don was let go. I think Adams is doing it the right way with his draft and develop strategy. The fact I'm in a small minority reinforces my belief. At the start of the season almost everyone on here wanted 6K waived, he's now a top 10 goalie in the league. 18 months ago most people on here wanted Mitts waived, never forgiving him for not being able to do a pull-up at the combine. Adams flipped him for a top pair d-man entering his prime, a good(possibly great) hockey trade that many said he couldn't/wouldn't pull off. A few years ago the majority on here wanted Tage waived, never forgiving him for O'Rielly winning the cup. He's a damn good player on a long term team friendly contract. We're on the right path, the usual suspects telling me I'm wrong only means I'm right. 

    Ftr, I’m not convinced that BB-4 is a first pair d man yet (not on a cup contender, anyway.) Also, while Tage has looked a lot better of late, he has to show me a lot more (especially before the season is lost) to convince me that he is part of a cup contending team.

    It’s amazing to me just how many posters in the past 13 years have been “right” about the future,… until they weren’t.

    We should expect more.

    The Sabres while still mathematically alive are clearly not going to make the playoffs.  Facing facts, they should be tanking to get the best draft position possible.  And based on the third period against Edmonton, it looks like the Sabres got that memo.

    It would be better not to bring any Rochester players up so they're not in the locker room while this is going on.  Toxicity is contagious.

    When will this notion just go away?

    I appreciate the perspective, but it just seems we are just so much worse than last season. That’s what happens under the weight of raised expectations when players just can’t handle it. Raised expectations should fuel a team though. Remember the syrupy letter to the fans by Okposo before the season. The one where he said the guys are embracing the pressure? It’s laughable now.

    That's what happens when you see starting goal tenders because of last year.

    It wasn’t so much perspective on this season as perspective on last, imo. We weren’t that good, and the 8 in 11 stretch to end clouded judgment, fans and GM. This year we are even worse than not good and it’s double as bad because it’s year 4, but we absolutely absolutely can’t fall for a run it back trick this time 

    ugh.

    If getting outshot 18-8 in the third period is shutting them down then yes, that's exactly what the Sabres did.  Once again UPL earned a star.  I will say, though, that the Kraken effort in the third was typical of post-tank Sabres:  Lots of shots from the outside; Oopie only had to make a couple tough ones.

    Score effects.

    The Sabres shut them down.
