DarthEbriate

I don’t know who won or lost the Jarry trade. Does it make either team better? Bur what it tells me, in addition to Colorado moving both their goalies last season, is that it’s a lot easier to get a goalie than Sheevyn has made it out to be for the past 6 years.

Well, they won a game I saw in person -- it's pretty rare in VAN and SEA. But dang was it some sloppy hockey. As we were walking out I told Lady Ebriate it was their first regulation road win of the season and an adjacent Canucks fan looked at us in horror before disappearing into the crowd.

They are quick. And replacing Elias Pettersson (the #40 one) in the lineup with Kampf is a choice, but akin to Greenway in for Norris.

The Sabres aren’t good. But with the exception of Hughes, they might be outright better than the Canucks.

Gah! Kozak couldn’t find it in the air.

No Death Star Alamo this period, gents.

3 goals on 13 shots. That’s Sabres level goaltending from Demko tonight.

Son of a biscuit. No stupid goals against in the final minute. Or penalties !!!

The first for the son of Ben!

This pp is Benson Doan and McLeod. TNT and Dahlin on the point.

Rosén wears the helmet super far back on his head. And it just paid off. To the PP.

One the one hand, Kuntar goes into the corner like a honey badger. On the other hand, Vancouver gets Hughes out against that AHL line and yikes it’s dangerous.

TNT quiets said crowd.

Crowd is awake now.

He tried to go for a change and got caught. He should’ve just gone off and let Timmins sprint on.

Muel should’ve just changed. *****.

First period note: Kuntar had a good disruptive shift and the following shift was the Dahlin goal. Nice. Dunne-Rosén-Quinn on the PP. Let’s see how it goes. Eh. Like you’d expect. Extended Canucks short handed possession. Blergh on the late high sticks and Vancouver goal. They’d had nothing from the middle of the ice prior to that.

D’Ebriate and the Lady Ebriate heading out for a cocktail and then to the arena. Maybe we’ll incite a Goodbye Adams song.

There will be such a breath of fresh air on the organization once Adams is gone. But we all know how this will end… https://tenor.com/bzDYD.gif silly links on phones somehow Sheevyn returned.

We’ll all believe it when we see it. For me, you have to excise the entirety of the cancer. That means no Adams to POHO. I don’t even want him on the organization on the business side. His entire Sabres career has been the downward spiral of this franchise. Someone else needs to set the culture and expectations. Not Pegula’s friend. Someone else needs to hire the GM and help interview the coaches. There are players that need fresh starts, too. But the department needs a mission and a winning mindset. These people do not have it.

Trevor Kuntar was the final straw?

Woohoo! Gameday in Vancouver. Just gotta wade through the Pineapple Express and avoid the flooding on the way up there. Buffalo's victory in Edmonton kept this game from being a battle for last place in the league.

I think the process as we know it was: Granato fired. After an extensive interview/search, Adams was set to promote Appert to HC. Terry managed to convince Ruff to join as HC. Ruff had to keep the staff because they were under contract and Adams ensured Appert was added to the staff. This would allow Appert to apprentice with one of the winningest coaches in NHL history. The Sabrespace conjecture is that if Adams still has any decision-making power at the end of this season, he'll again do a very thorough set of interviews and then hire Appert as HC. Only a GM with some authority will be able to execute a real search.

Lovely feed from McLeod. The Oilers forgot about Tuch. And Tuch re-won possession after the lost faceoff. Good shift.
