Which is what they should be doing with him now that UPL has actually been given the net as the 1 (and not a 1A/1B situation). Let him get some games in Ra-cha-cha but keep him up with the big team so that Comrie doesn't get games with the big team.
And keep reevaluating the situation and if conditions change change the plan.
UPL was not the issue yesterday afternoon.
A team that gives up two goals should have a reasonable expectation to score 3 to win, or at least come out with a tie.
The Sabres really lost 2 - 1. Who cares about the EN goal.
Again, UPL was not the problem.
Sorry ... 6K was not the problem.

Or could be as simple as bad coaching.
Different coaching - yes.
Bad coaching - no. I don't think so.
Also, nagging injury.

Your guys destroyed the Cowboys in the playoff. That's their greatest achievment this season. The nation thanks your guys for that. Things are looking up for the Pack.

I tend to agree and made the same basic point in the Tampa GDT.
@Taro T, who is very knowledgeable and watches the team play very closely brought up some very good points in his reply to my post.
It's pretty obvious that the focus has shifted to the defencive side of the game.
Also, I really believe that some of the players are playing through some injuries.

To the Jays fans here, how many recall the story of Chris Colabello?
Colabello hit .321 in 2015 until he got caught using PED's. After that, he had a few years in the minors before his career completely fizzled out.
I know this is going to bring out the regular chorus of boo birds, but any time I see an athlete fall off the cliff as Thompson has, my mind goes to PED's. Was he taking something last year (and the end of the season before) to give him an edge?
Likely, Thompson needs surgery and is playing in pain... Either that or he's mentally checked out and isn't putting in the work off the ice. Ever since Colabello though, I'll always wonder about PED's for guys who fall off a cliff like Thompson. (The exception is Alek Manoah, who seems to have fallen victim to the 🍩 rather than PED's).
I highly doubt the PED suggestion here.
It's much more likely that Tage is playing hurt and will have some sort of minor surgery after the season, or once the playoff have been officially missed. People tend to forget that he had a real tough go of it some seasons ago.

You must attain success at that level. Has he?
Missed the playoff by 1 point last season. He's a coach in this league and a pretty darned good one.
Fans are frustrated.
The biggest issue this season has been the shift to focus on the defencive side of the game. The players are transitioning from a free-wheeling offencive game and it's a slow process. They are being taught how to play a tight game that will bring success in the playoff.
I think they did this a year too soon. I believe if they played the style of last year the Sabres would be in the playoff at the end of this season, but likely eliminated in the first round. Then they would have a taste of playoff hockey and see what it takes to win in the playoff. They would be more receptive of changing their game.

Even Marty and Duff are happy as hell rn. Losing is expected in that building. Donny get the hell out
Welcome to our little corner of the internet.
Seeing that you are a youngster I did not send you my traditional welcoming beer thingie.
Losing may be accepted in the arena, but I don't think it is expected. And coach is not going anywhere soon. Maybe in the offseason, but I doubt it.

This thread is freaky. In and out at either end and confusion / nonsensicalness in the middle.

No deadline deal is going to make or break this season.
I expect minor moves if any.
The coming offseason may be another story. Most 'hockey trades' happen in the summer, especially if a team is not likely to play a big role in the UFA transfer window.
Adams will stick to his plan. It is just now starting to show some results - growth of young players.
Adams will keep his powder dry for another year or two until the Sabres are a perinial playoff team. Then at some point he will make a trade deadline deal that he feels has a reasonably good chance to get the Sabres their long saught after cusp and maybe even a cup.

I feel better about this playoff than even the 4 Superbowl years.
I just have a feeling that this is the year.
The OT loss against the Eagles really sparked something. That and the new OC and the inspired D play has the Bills firing on all cylinders.

The Sabres only need something like 6 goals here. Then they may have this.

The Sarbres are leading in SOG.
What day is it?
Oh, yeah ... it's a January 20, 2024 miracle.

Those are studly numbers right there.
The last 2 are pretty fancy and I don't care about them, or at least don't know what I am looking at. The first 3 are clear enough for me.

When I was a kid my cousins used to love the snow in Elma.
They said it was great until the lake froze over and there was no moisture from it so snow was minimal.
When was the last time Lake Erie froze ? I am guessing maybe 10 years ago. No freeze = more snow in Buffalo and area.

At this point I think it is far more likely for Adams to trade A goalie than to trade FOR a goalie.
There !! I've said it.

I don't get all the 'Bills Mafia' hate.
Don't think of The Godfather trilogy. Don't think about gansters and hit men and organized crime.
The Mafia (traditional Sicilian) was intensly loyal.
That is why a certain element of Bills fans started calling themselves that. It has stuck and has garnered positive national attention.

And the Bills should have won SB 25.
If that kick went in the game was over. But, it didn't go in. It went wide right.
The difference is the Bills underachieved that season and playoff. The Pack overachieved this season and, especially, playoff. Be happy with the strides taken and get ready for next year.
And we now can count on you to be 100% Bills Mafia going forward this playoff.
