inkman

I mean I’ve heard worse reasons to draft a player

Dude I have cooked 10 billion brain cells at this point. My ingestion of brain killing substances far outweighs any ability I have to recreate them. My favorite inkman story is hanging with one of my high school buds a few years back. Tons of booze and weed, I lost 8hours of my life that night. No recollection, no anything. I was jacked up but not to the point where I shouldn’t have any memory of the night but whatever cumulative effect those substances have resounded quite proficiently that night. I hung out with my next door neighbor for 6 hours. He said I didn’t even seem drunk or high. The whole night gonzo. Now if I can just forget the last 40 years of my life, I’ll be all set.

Love that I have a type as well 🤣

Are you referring to stretch Armstrong?

It’s still a little TBD to know if Adams crushed the McLeod trade but it certainly can’t be looked at as a negative. Adams gets the smoke he deserves but we should throw him a bone when he gets something, anything right.

I love that there is a typo in your denigrating note about a typo. I don’t mean this is a mean snarky way. I just love when funny things happen. Particularly not to me but I’m ***** chock full of those moments too as my life is a train wreck.

He was easily the scariest Amerk I’ve seen play since Rumun Ndur. Just a menace on the ice. Opposing players went way out of their way to avoid him.

Good teams bring in players like this all the time and never have a problem making the cap work. Trade Samuelsson or Power.

Fine. Do it.

Just keeping adding to the deal until they can’t say no. Byram, Quinn, any of the prospects or picks. Just do it.

They do make a heck of a sammich

There is a precipitous drop off after the top 10. I suppose that’s fairly standard but it’s a massive cliff.

As if the city of Rochester did something wrong

It’s noteworthy

TBD to be honest

I love infrequent posters. We need fresh ideas in here. It’s turned into an ugly echo chamber. I mean how could it not with the current state of the team but nonetheless always appreciate different voices in here.

I’ve waited my entire life to have Dryballs

Honestly, I’d have zero issue if our D was made up of Trouba, Ekblad, Gudas. Yeah two of them aren’t great but Power needs to be let loose offensively and let some murderous psychopath take care of the D zone issues.

The last thing we need is another Tyler Myers who wasn’t naturally physical but knew he had to be to stay in the league. He would just spas out and commit a penalty rather than playing the body in a natural way.

Eh it all depends on goaltending. If they get some quality play, they will get a sniff of the playoffs.

Not to mention he’s a local kid. Not that I need a team of Buffalo born and raised but it’s a nice complement making inroads into the community. Adams is operating at a level only he and Pegula understand.

Right. Neither of the guys manning the 7/8 s are that good either. Pretty typical bottom of the roster D. So why not employ someone that brings other things to the table, i.e. toughness and size. Adams might not just be bad at his job but he might also be dense as ***** lead. I don’t criticize him as much as most do in this forum but it’s not for a lack a disdain, I’m just exhausted on the topic. This dude might be painfully stupid. It would be so easy to assemble a team this city would adore. Cater to their foundation. Get hard working, tough players. Of course you need talent. We already have Dahlin, Tage, Tuch, so fill out the roster with toughness. Stop jettisoning players like Will Borgen and Brendon Hagel. Value players with those skills. This isn’t rocket science. Build a team the community can get behind. The garbage that has patrolled the ice the last decade and a half is pathetic. You got your top of the roster players, stop employing Samuelsson and Quinn. Put actual men in those roles. My lord it isn’t that hard.

Dahlin & Kesselring can’t be the torch holders for the D’s toughness. Did everyone forget the revelation Gilbert was last season? A physical defenseman that cleared the crease, played to body and dropped the gloves. Instead we resigned Jacob Bryson and signed Zac Jones. I just don’t understand what Adams is doing. Your were a bottom of the roster plug. He should understand as much as anyone what value having toughness brings to a hockey team. Instead we get 5’9” players that aren’t good a hockey not to mention all the 6’5”+ players the Sabres have that don’t touch anyone.
