  1. Reffing isn’t Sabres biased but it’s definitely young players biased. refs feel the need to “learn ‘em” it’s rather a joke, yes
  2. Yes understandable on a human level. I suppose I feel like the context being “paid professionals” went without saying
  3. Tend to be a different team when they need to protect a beer league goalie
  4. Does Adams want to be there?
  5. That’s not really how stats work but, I am getting to agree with you on Don
  6. Was mentioning last game they tend to be front runners
  7. Reminded me of when Kane had an open net here in winnipeg and he deferred to Reinhart to get the hat trick
  8. It’s just a shame the team has to sacrifice so much of their free-wheeling offence when he’s in net. They really, really have to baby him back there since he’s not an NHL caliber goalie
  9. Duff cackling about Reinhart’s EN pass We saw a lot of career year anomalies last year
  10. Dude rules
  11. Florida played yesterday, right? Maybe they’ll slow down in the third
  12. Maybe they should let Terry have a try at the book, honestly
  13. Very understandable? Totally disagree Some were screaming against the viability of a run it back approach after multiple career years. Hindsight need not apply: the off-season looked bad at the time. And worse now.
  14. This is a meaningful stat “this regime isn’t amendable to past failures” need not apply He is saying it in defence of the Sabres
  15. Certainly jives with the feeling the priority hasn’t been winning. Damn.
  16. Exactly. Fool me once..shame on..shame on..you? Point is, can’t get fooled again with the goalie approach
  17. Ya I mean assigning fault is subjective He bridged Reinhart, that’s all I said
  18. It’s just difficult with Reino because he went on record saying he was open to a long term extension I don’t think he’s a 7 mil player yet. No, I don’t mind the contract there. For reasons opposite to why I dislike MS’s.
  19. We’ve had 2 GMs that bridged Reinhart
  20. Can’t see KA not sending EJ to a cup/playoff contender at deadline
  21. We just beat the Kings 7-0 We tend to be front runners in individual games
  22. I’m not sure what his point is in including Levi, but it looks good on UPL
  23. Every single goalie that moved hands this year was better than Comrie. Every one. Those are your names another: UPL. Adams only had enough “gosh golly gee” confidence in UPL to force him to split starts equally with drastically inferior goalies to start the year. I’m honestly not sure what you are missing here how many ways do you need to be wrong. Seriously, how many concrete ways can you fail to grasp the fact the results were bad? actually, my mistake, you’ve already argued they were good, and backed down from it, and retreated to “well ok I was wrong the results were bad but they couldn’t have been better” yes, there was no way. The goaltending was handled perfectly. You wouldn’t even take my out that we could agree goaltending was managed fine if the priority was development rather than winning lol
  24. “Don’t like the guy the paid professional with all the accompanying resources got? I’d like to see you do better!” ”taking a shot at VO’s 2 way ability? I’d like to see YOU do better!” A truly meaningless argument
  25. Not to mention, the addition by subtraction of merely NOT rostering and playing Comrie this year would have netted us points why isn’t anyone trying to give KA kudos for sticking with Comrie? U gotta look at the totality, here. It’s the only fair way. Ie: the results
