Bruh, you started a topic on words we are tired of hearing with Corporate Schlock buzzwords “bandwidth” “deep dive” & “unpack”. 🤣

More like Soul(less) existence! AmIright?

Between the Sabres infinite ineptitude and the Bills having Mahomes firmly planted as the new Brady 🤮, I’ve been resigned to the fact that neither of these teams are winning a chip in my lifetime. I just don’t see it happening.

Yeah I don’t think Adams has a choice this trade deadline. He better keep his foot on the gas. This fanbase needs hope not another 6 draft picks.

I sorta feel like Jack Quinn and JJ Peterka were all-time great AHL players. Kulich and Rosen are good but they don’t control play the way the aforementioned players did. Those guys were special.

Rasmus apparently has the respect of his peers…at least for an exhibition game.

Maybe Casey dislikes people who can’t spell lose as much as I do

Looks like Mitts is putting in work during the break

Everyone’s pick should be Marchand until he retires. I mean, look at that beak.

Someone with photoshop skillz needs to put Sabres faces on the go gos.

Check out the latest Sabres prospects tonight on AHLTV. Someone mentioned there was a free trial, unsure if that is still a thing. Everyone is aware of Rosen and Kulich but a couple new kids on the block are turning heads. Neuchev & Novikov have been noticeable. Viktor Neuchev has been scoring at a PPG pace since Kulich left for WJC, Novikov has been steadily improving and receiving more ice time.

Well you inadvertently stumbled onto the real issue. It’s the players, it’s the players, it’s the players. I don’t care who you get to tell them what to do, the horses need to run. Scotty Bowman, Lindy Ruff and Al Arbour could be on a staff and still not win. It’s never as simple as “hey this guy has won cups, he’s definitely going to show our jackass players how to do this”. It’s way more organic, right place right time kinda thing. If there was a formula, such as drafting players first overall 🤮, trading picks and prospects for players 🤮🤮, or signing the best UFAs 🤮🤮🤮, every team would do it. There just is no set way to achieve your goal. I have no idea if our current set up is ever going to get there. It’ll likely take some changes. It almost always does. Let’s just hope they get it figure it out before I’m dead. (Not placing any bets on that)

Is there a guy who is a guarantee to win a cup?

It’s not the majority’s opinion. Just a few curmudgeons.

The major reason Tage blew up was because he was moved to center.

I would think Jost

The Bills were a fluky fumble through the end zone of getting blown out. They may make the playoffs most years with Josh but until proven otherwise, this is the Chiefs conference. After dealing with Brady for 20 years, we now have Mahomes indefinitely.

I’m never pumping another players tires again. Jinxed like a mofo.

Example number 1

Newsflash: the Sabres are a team of shooters not skaters. Plus Dahlin who is…a side show not necessarily specializing in anything that helps you win hockey games.

Yep and the Sabres have fallen short in that department for 20 years. Not that I think it actually works but if the league actively promotes dangerous assault level penalties, I’m going to have 2-3 of those ***** in my lineup to ensure my team isn’t on the short end of ruining people’s future with CTE. You want all your players to be vegetables by the time their 50, lets lead the league in causing them.

Well the power play is the last place I’d look for speed. No one is going to generate 22 mph while skating 18 feet in the offensive zone.

This please is really starting to suck

Jack Quinn is my favorite Sabre since Peca. He’s got skills in spades. He is the stick that stirs the drink for the Cozens line. He may be the most talented forward in the team. I will be beyond furious if he isn’t a Sabre for life. I love me some Alex Tuch as well. He’s probably 90% of the player I wish he was, because if he had that other 10%, he’d be my favorite Sabre. I disliked Dahlin as soon as he was in the team. Then they got rid of the maloik, Krueger, and his game flourished. We all had a love affair with the Swedish phenom. Then we wanted more. He’s offensively gifted but for a 1st OA pick, there are holes in his game that are inexcusable. It seems like every other game he’s good for a lowlight of the week award. Just giving the puck right to an opponent that ends up in the net immediately. I’m hoping Power develops (soon!!) to take the reigns from Rasmus to free him up to be more offensive and alleviate some of the d zone stuff.

Darcy Reiger 2007 comes to mind pretty quick.
