    I realize that context is hard, and that your preference and comfort zone is to throw shots at the fanbase.

    The discussion was in regards to evidence of how the Amerks are helping the Sabres.  I asked for his metrics.  
     

    What you did was ask for something you know can't happen. Like a ten game win streak before the season begins. Current Amerk players aren't helping the "Sabres win", ignoring that the Sabres aren't playing now, is that they are not on the Sabres yet.

    Didn't Washington's farm team win the Cup last year? They had injuries and called up a bunch of guys this year. They fit in and Washington did what we could not. You can argue that's not evidence I guess but it's something. 

    I just don't believe Rochester is teaching these kids what they need to succeed. I see it as a mirror of what Granato was doing. I think that's a mistake. 

    Some AHL teams play few prospects and fill rosters with older players who are good and strong but are not going to the NHL other than in a fill-in role. That is what Hershey is. Syracuse is sort of like that too. Rochester is committed to development so it's a young roster with new players getting added in midseason. So try to take that into account while you watch your highlights.

    Sure.  By what metric? It’s not by any measurement of organizational winning.

    16-4-3-1 since March 1. Tied for 1st in the division. How is that not winning? 

    My god, are people so committed to whining about the Sabres they can't even acknowledge something positive?

    Is there any evidence that success in the AHL has any benefit in the NHL? 

    Only five teams (17%) out of 30 saw their NHL clubs have a . 500 or worse record after their AHL team's . 610 or better performance. Out of the 30 AHL teams that met my criteria only eight (27%) saw their NHL club fail to make the post season the year after.

    Are you saying the Amerks were better than the Crunch in games 1 and 2 or that the Amerks were simply better in games 1 and 2 than they were in game 3? Because from where I sit, the Crunch has been the dominant team in all three games. 

    It started with the Amerks outplaying Syracuse but leveled out in game 2. Game 3 Syracuse figured out something in the Amerks game. So much so that Rochester could not finish a pass without a Crunch player in the way. It got so bad I noticed Amerk players breaking off offense to get back to defend too quickly. They were worried about Syracuse in transition.

    That said I still think Rochester played their ***** off in their own end frustrating Syracuse. The Crunch did have some extended possessions but not that many dangerous scoring chances.

    Rochester was in the same spot last year, down 2-1 to the Crunch, and managed to pull it out. I hope Appert has something up his sleeve.

    I swear to god if this dude hits the open market and we saddled ourselves with coach of Christmas past, I’m going to have to leave the internet.  This place, Twitter and any other god forsaken place will be unbearable. 
     

     

    Say we waited for Rod and the Canes go very deep into the playoffs. Meanwhile Ruff and several other prime candidates get scooped up. Then at the last second Brind'amour resigns with Carolina. How do you envision we blame Adams for botching the coaching search?

    Fabulous line up. 👍 I saw Orville Peck in a tiny club when he was a total unknown. He's great.

    I would agree Adams is on the hot seat but you have to also take into account the players he's drafted. He gets a lot of good ones, including players like Peterka who he traded up to get. You can debate who is really responsible but it's Adams who takes the fall if they aren't good, right?

    Meanwhile this came in my email today...
