lol ya that one was a bit off the rails, infused with worry wart-itus. He likely wouldn’t have been fired had they lost and honesty I really find it hard to believe he’s getting an extension. I mean even if they did make the playoffs somehow, how do you trot this guy out to announce an extension after what he’s contributed to. Maybe if he was under contract but actually giving him a new deal… im just tired. Already in the hole. Sometimes it feels like I’ll never be able to watch games again, and it makes me angsty when the moment seemed close to being in the offing. One canning, and I can be back. I’ll continue praying.

We’d likely have a new GM today had Detroit held on. Now we are likely headed for a GM extension. There’s that one stretch every year he just needs to get through and then he’s clear

lol ya right behind, just a mere Kevyn Adams regime. 5 years like that is nothing, this last stretch has been the best of drought so far! Simply the drought *difference* between us and Detroit is as long or longer than the active total drought of 28 of the 32 teams

You don’t think 8th seed ends up around 94/95 where it’s currently at? Frankly it IS pretty likely the sabres need to play at the pace suggested to make it

lol we were a period away from Adams being gone

The most unified fanbase in a generation, perhaps?

Baker is a total knob but he’s correct here I think. There will always be Alphas who are intrigued by the challenge That’s a good point too

The sad irony that Adams essential mandate was fixing the culture and he’s made it oh so much worse than it ever was that’s what a long form rebuild tacked on to 9 years already missing will do for the record, no sabres GM has missed the playoffs more than 3 times in a row, all time, besides Adams. Who’s on track to double it definitively the worst sabres GM of all time

Kevyn Adams woke up today and got back to the grind An inexorable force of raw nature. If you have the ability to perceive anything at all, you can rest assured that Kevyn Adams is still relentlessly employed, pushing the boundaries of ineptitude further in the role than they have ever been pushed “Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies. You must know this, poor Sabres fan.” “You call it ‘greatness,’ what you have been doing, do you?” asked the Sabres fan delicately. “Certainly,” said Adams, and his eyes seemed to burn red. “I have experimented; I have pushed the boundaries of evaluation years and team building further, perhaps, than they have ever been pushed -” “Of some kinds of team building,” the fan corrected him quietly. “Of some. Of others, you remain…forgive me…woefully ignorant.”

Logo change

But nooooooooot out!

Premonitions…. ….premonitions

Just sit back and enjoy the magic

This feels like a Sabes win

Right in one

“Is a gaping hole at C really worse than the guy the GM signed for 7 years 50 million?” is an odd flex

Adams reading this list

Striking that amidst the cavalcade of shite we are on pace for about the same about points as we did every other year under Adams. Really says something about his performance the years we didn’t suffer an ungodly amount of injuries 78 point GM on average, rain sleet or shine

So it seems McKenna isn’t quite on the same level. Do you have him closer to a Power/RNH type first overall or a Celebrini/Bedard type?

What would you have said about Celebrini at this point in his draft year?

That you don’t have a resounding opinion on one or the other says enough to me
