Mustache of God

When does training camp start?

Abhorrent behavior to drive that drunk, especially when you have kids in the car.

I've seen a lot of articles/talk about who needs to step up this year to turn things around and I've noticed Powers has been absent from most of those lists. If he can't get it together in the defensive zone we're going to have problems. I've been patient with him since he came into the league at such a young age, but now's the time for him to take a leap.

The team needs to learn how to get both the puck and the players moving once they establish possession. They all seemed to stand still once they got the puck and just passed it around the perimeter before eventually taking a low % shot. I can't believe Tage only had 7 PP goals last season, that needs to increase. It seems like teams figured the guy covering him could cheat a little bit knowing the Sabres players really don't move around a lot. I wouldn't mind seeing Tage and Kulich on both walls and Dahlin can help cycle the puck to open up some space for one of those guys to start ripping one timers.

It's your lowest point of Sabres fandom...yet. It was about 5 or 6 years ago I discovered that rock bottom isn't a place, it's a state of mind, and this team will always find a way to plunge further down into they abyss. Anyways, go Sabres!

Dahlin and Power both advocated to keep him on when Granato was let go, apparently they really like him... I think it's busch league that GMKA lets his players dictate the coaching staff after years of failure but here we are.

The difference between the two is that Bryson REALLY wants to be here (because he knows no other team would take him).

That's who I was thinking of, thank you. Knew the name ended with a "k"

Didn't Kozak go back to Europe? Or am I thinking about somebody else?

The difference being they didn't just trade to acquire the player. I'm hoping this is a nothing burger and they have a deal in place and will have this inked tomorrow, I'll keep the pitch fork corked for now. I have been saying for years that as long as Bryson is on this team they are not a playoff roster, and my jimmies are still rustled from that signing earlier this year.

Adam's pays for how he wants players to perform, not for how they actually produce.

Prescient.

They're long overdue for it, so good for them.

I feel bad for the fans because we have to deal with Adams for the 6th year now.

We really have to wait until the draft / free agency peak is concluded to see if there's any generated excitement surrounding the team. They would have to be making some significant moves to be moving the needle. Keeping Adams around after 5 years of failure has to be hurting the bottom line. I moved back to Buffalo 5 years ago and I would love to start getting a 10 game package or something, but that's not going to happen until the team isn't a perennial trash fire.
