The gist of it is pretty simple: he believes in his people and he believes in his plan.
When the fanbase absolutely believes neither, and is essentially told - yet again - to be patient, depression sets in.
I'm signing off, probably for the duration of the season unless something notable happens. I like this place most of the time, but sharing in the lamentations isn't really my thing.
The past few days brought back some good hockey talk though. Thanks for that.
Your return was a welcome relief from this ***** show. And it was some good hockey talk.

Vegas must be stopped, this is honestly absurd. They'll have a nearly 110 mil cap team this postseason
You know what is more absurd, and absolutely disgusting?… putting a retired player on your roster to get to the cap floor so that you can take advantage of profit sharing. If the league is going to change anything it should ban that from ever happening again.
Ridiculous.

What I gathered from Adams' press conference is that I should watch more (maybe exclusively) games of other NHL teams.
There's some really good hockey out there.

If you don't have competitive players, yeah. Is that really part of the development process?
Paraphrasing here, but "The way we get better is for the guys we have to get better." WTF?!
He is going to do nothing again this offseason.
We're screwed. Management does not Give A F about winning.

And the insane thing is he literally said he is not happy with the dreaded "compete" level of most of his players.
The irony is thick coming from a guy who has never tried to win.
Think the two aren't related?
We're ****ed.

I feel relaxed and that the tension is on your side of the table. Because he thinks Kyle makes them slightly better.
I'm cool. If I'm tense, it's because I hate this ***** day and have for over a decade. I don't believe that they are trying to win. I think Pegula sucks and I don't believe that he gives a ***** about the fans and is using the team as some sort of rich douche hobby for himself.
And if it's true that he doesn't like to be embarrassed, um,... too late.
Terry and his team are an embarrassment.
This sucks.

I'm aware trades aren't forced onto either team. Would the word slightly better make you feel like you won?
Relax. I don't need to win anything.
My point is that what I think doesn't matter, but Florida's GM thinks Kyle makes them better, otherwise, why else would he trade for him?

You think Kyle moved that needle towards the cup, more than hardly?
You do realize that Florida did not have to trade for him, right?
Why else would they trade for him if they didn't think he was going to make them better?
Tkachuk will get injured or at least be not 100% at some point in the playoffs. They are going to need Kyle.

Who would think losing a roster player doesn't hurt. Kyle's had a pretty good season.
There are folk.
He has.

KO trade does reinforce that.
It’s an abject fail of a season. Puts KA on the hot seat for next. I’m glad to see early signs point to him being proactive in switching some things up. It’s very needed and could bode well. I’m ready to shift my focus to next season and it seems the team is too. For better or worse.
I'm at the point where I don't take any of these trades on good faith, anymore. I keep trying to see one thing that tells me that KA and TP are really trying to build a winner. I know they are trying to stay the youngest team in the league (now, by a lot), most likely to (a) have a built in excuse and (b) to have a low payroll.
BB-4 showing up in that Cancun Crew photo kinda raised my eyebrows. I can't get past this feeling that they are just keeping those here happy enough to not implode, while not having a real answer (or plan) for sucking.

Injury insurance, possibly 4th line replacement.
On a Stanley Cup hopeful. He has value.
And contrary to what people think, the Sabres got worse today, at least for the rest of this year.

Sorry, but I’m glad to see him go. Just shows you he had hardly any value.
That makes no sense. Why would Florida take him if he had hardly any value? They have their eyes on the Cup.

It took a while, but eventually, the Sabres always trade their captain.

Do we have to wait until the offseason to recognize Adams as Executive of the Year? Pretty impressive roster construction. How did he ever manage to steal Comrie away from the rest of the league? Pegula should sign Adams up to a lifetime contract before someone tries to poach him from this organization.
E to the E to the E.

Power should play wing.

Great use of your time out Donny
It was nice of him to end this sooner.

How does Comrie look
He looks like a goalie whose team has actually scored above their average for him.

Can't wait to find out what was encouraging about this game.

Bo with another to tie it up.

Painful.
If the only nice thing I can say is that "at least they are hangin in there," we're screwed.
Cuzens is having a terrible game. If he is injured, he should just sit until next year.

The problem with KA truly believing is his plan is that he truly believes that Girgensons is integral to that plan moving forward and talked of extending him.
I love Girgs, but wtf?!
If KA believes that, then we really are screwed, for as long as he is here.
