    Excellent interview.

    Should there be some concern that it sounds like next seasons success will mostly be determined by the growth of the younger players?

    Alot of the questions asked on this site were asked of Adams.

    Marty or Duff, which one has the account here and what's their avatar?

    SDS beat me to it.

    IIRC he said that you can't rush a 20 year old into 24 year body. Be patient, you can't rush it. 

    At the beginning of the interview he said he was shopping but they had to be the right fit, especially mentally. They also aren't big sellers. The current mental state of the locker room means more that late round picks is how I interpreted it.

    This seems cringey. They’re probably gonna trade this guy shortly after this game.

    Yes and no.

    To have that moment now with so many that you have been with, like family knowing you're going off to college vibe.

    Thanks, Woodsie!!

    It's EDT now ... I hate it ... give me standard time year round or give me death ... well not really, but I don't like the damn time changes.

    And what in the blazes is SNW ??  Does this affect me in any way?  Is that Sports Net West up here in The Great White North?

    Anyway, as always ...

    MUST WIN!!

    GO SABRES!!

    Just for you, and only you, the changes are made because you are 100% correct. 

    Just don't change the clocks, pick one and stick with it. I prefer EST because I like it being light out later and don't have a problem getting going in the morning in the dark. 

    I really think we should be able to get some scoring from our non-Thompson lines tonight.

    I'm assuming DG is going to try and match Cozens with McDavid as much as possible. That should be fun to watch.

    Easy answer is just money. There is not many rinks in Poland to even have a place to begin to play. Poland got pretty crushed during the 2nd world war and then until early 1990's we were under Soviet rule, so rebuilding was a slow process until we got our independence.

    Even the soccer team, has had a resurgence in the last 12-14 years, but prior to that they were not good besides in the 1970s when they were a power before money ruled the sport. There was no modern soccer stadiums or facilities until around 2010. Even the first highway in Poland wasn't build until like 2010. 

    Polish player like Wojtek Wolski who made the NHL recently, grew up in a wealthy family in Poland and moved to Toronto area at a young age where his hockey talents took off.

    Most popular sports in Poland: hockey, volleyball and ski jumping.

    Did not see that coming.

     

  5. Ryan was also was with Rochester for 3 years before we could consider him a starter. The Sabres have a couple years before Levi will be ready.

    Miller played 47/60/63 games in 02/03, 03/04, 04/05, respectively  for Rochester. Levi needs his time to develop. He looks very promising.

    I did this compariosion since 2015. Time on ice and per game stats. Very few players that are in the top 50 in points since 2015 get over 20 minutes a game.
