How many years (or weeks) does Adams get to fix things? Everyone says they are patient but are they really? For a season with zero expectations there are sure a lot of them.

Which is what I've been saying. There's a tendency to look only at the end result and not the breakdowns leading to it.

Brian Gionta addresses this very topic on the latest After The Whistle. He thinks goaltending is less of an issue than what's happening in front of the goalie Go to the 22:35 mark: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/after-the-whistle-with-andrew-peters-craig-rivet/id1590573108?l=es

The goaltending could be better for sure, but most of our goals result when we get stuck in our end unable to break out. Then it's cycle-cycle-cycle-GOAL. Then I read comments like the Sabres are getting passive in games, not trying to score. The reality is other team are pressing us and we can't get out of our own ends.

But many of those goals stem from defensive breakdowns. If you don't acknowledge that then you can swap goalies every day and not improve.

The Hawks are 7-3 in their last 10. So does Subbs start Saturday?

The Aaron Dell era comes to a close.

Hard to go on offense when you can't get out of your own end.

It's that and he's selling out to stop what's in front of him by coming out so far. If he doesn't control the rebound the net is wide open on either side.

Okay.

Good. He won't be ready for the next shot.

Glad we didn't give one up late. Let's keep it up.

Well this crowd makes me feel less embarrassed.

Ugh, Dell.

Might as well. He'll be in by the 2nd period when Dell gets pulled.

Someone know how to track the Pegula jet?

Fans: DO SOMETHING!! Adams: We got Malcolm Subban. Fans: NOT THAT!!!

Actually went looking for my post about the new NLL TV deal with ESPN, which vanished mysteriously. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

Not being directly responsible for giving the other team 2-3 points per game?

Will you serve La Chouffe Blonde?

Yeah, sorry. I came across his post today. Maybe he can go next time. The Harp is strictly a Bills bar, though they have hosted Sabres viewing parties during the playoffs. Keep in mind they are next to the TD Garden and can't afford to piss off Bruins fans. I was just at the Bleacher Bar a few weeks ago and they had a sign up promoting Sabres games.

I tried to find my earlier post on the NLL ESPN deal but couldn't find it. All NLL games will be on ESPN+.

I think The Bleacher Bar on Lansdowne St. under Fenway Park shows Sabres games.

His long nightmare is over
