  1. We’ll see what happens with the reshuffle
  2. He doesn’t have inside info They sabres social media people don’t know anything
  3. Cozens more playoffs goals than the Adams’ regime
  4. I am
  5. Hell no HELL no
  6. I’ve said this before: it’s less about the 5 extra games we get (if that’s all we got), and more about the fact regular seasons have generally been meaningless by thanksgiving for a decade. We aren’t a part of the league for the 82. We don’t get to enjoy the majority of the league’s season, not just the post
  7. My central rooting interest is that the Oilers lose. Pp dependant frauds Yes I am biased, I just don’t like them Series would probably be over if not for that coaches challenge, they’ve been very lucky
  8. other teams have already been on the move, more time to prepare for the draft the better
  9. Wilson just destroyed the Habs playoff will be a whole different animal for us, if we ever get there
  10. It’s rather funny not a single assistant coach even has been axed and the season ended 10 days ago. That Pegula “meddles” persists as a narrative is wildly hilarious. He’s totally, totally absentee.
  11. Yeah. Him under performing or over seems mostly to come down to being a function of expectations Which is most of these guys
  12. Strikingly fitting considering his availability track record
  13. EXACTLY. It’s forever “development” and “diagnose” with this team, they are always selling things that have the connotation of more time being necessary, the implication results won’t be here in the now. They just need to stop. No one is falling for it anymore They *seriously* are going to try to sell the idea they “figured out” what is going wrong, and they cashed ANOTHER season to do it? How many times do I need to say it? They are the youngest team in the league. They don’t spend to the cap. Those are the issues. Those are documented, demonstrable obstacles to making the playoffs. We already knew these things. please do not buy what they try to sell you They want to run a professional plumbing company that’s about leaning to plumb on the job. Results may very. Welcome fans! Welcome players!
  14. Only Toronto in “control” of a series
  15. So I’m guessing we hear a verdict on this early next week?
  16. I actually get a good level of catharsis when I read the “I’d rather miss the playoffs” posts. Like actually seeing it in writing I get reassurance I’m not insane in thinking it really, really is easportsgmmode for some. The team and its assets are like a collectible item I just want to win lol. Maybe you have to be born in the 80s or earlier, I dunno. I just view sports differently. I’d have a lot of fun sharing wins with friends no matter how they come. it’s not even about the playoffs anymore. It’s about the fact we aren’t even a part of the league anymore: the 82 game seasons don’t matter. Don’t care what the style is for those games if the games aren’t in the realm of outright NEGLECT anymore
  17. Ya because I’ve been making it for longer than anyone else by far haha Going on 5 years. That’s what happens when you accurately identify Adams as a fraud so early on
  18. I don’t really only view on roster talent through the prism of offensively talented snipes, though. I get what you are saying but I don’t think people at large have a very good grasp of the fact that talent only matters relative to accumulating points in the system the nhl has constructed. The overall acumen of their roster is better, and they did a better job fitting personal to player, coach to roster They field a roster a coach could elevate - I think that’s what’s being missed. I’ve said it a million times: it’s often about WHO you are asking to be led, or coached Youngest team in the league isn’t very amendable to being moulded and influenced by a coach
  19. Incredibly one sided east series right now At least in terms of the series scores
