Why would tonight be any different? You are so right:

But not 3-2?!

It’s ok we have the next Hasek maybe better

Ya I’ll go ahead and say I called this too the nhl is so damn predictable in 2025 lol

Most obvious comeback ever I’m sorry lol Then review it. It shouldn’t have more value than every other call. But the nhl is a broken league so I’m not sure there’s a starting point

But if the puck goes over the glass..

My thoughts at this point are honestly to get McDonkey his cup and be done with this never ending nightmare season already lol. The days start getting shorter in 9 days for jeepers sakes

It’s the nhl in 2025

This is rather anecdotal but leads don’t really mean very much in today’s game relative to days gone by. I remember a decade or so ago a 3 goal lead was lights out in the playoffs 99/100 times, nowadays it’s just a field goal way more often than one would think

Likely a looming dynasty already if not for Vegas in the final. Maybe 3 straight

I wasn’t disagreeing But really the more terrifying and accurate explanation is that “winning trades” isn’t very predictive

And, really, does any other calculation matter at this time? Had there been a trade Adams *hasn’t* won? Given circumstances? I’m not sure we can complain very much that there doesn’t appear to be a correlation between “winning trades” and “winning”. Nay, it’s probably better just to change our goal

What it is is revisionist. People are incredibly happy to point out when sabres players do better elsewhere, what, it can’t work the other way? The fact it does on other teams in fact proves it can work in the opposite. Casey was statistically our best F at the time we dealt him - he was demonstrably good, here. If I had to guess if he’s still he that guy, here, if he was, I’d have to say yes “Mitts for Byram was good because although Casey produced more for our team Byram is the better trade asset” is last-decade thinking get off that treadmill

People will just say anything nowadays playing himself out of the league? Based on what, his production? If that’s the case we only have 6 guys on our entire team pencilled in for next year

Mistake. Live dangerously

That’s “greatest”. Didn’t say greatest I said best No one has played the game of hockey as well as that human. greatness in sports discussions usually involves relativity to era and career accomplishments

He’s the best player of all time, comps to Josh Allen need not apply. But yes he can be fun to root against

You’re gonna like the way you look. I guarantee it.

We tanked for Reinhart and Eichel and they may win 3 straight cups in some form. Kinda funny, tbh

Memory certainly does need refreshing. Eichel wasn’t named captain for another year and a half when bylsma got canned

Do you consider your hobby the sabres or critiquing the fanbase? Actually asking ”the tearing down of Jarmo.” - come on now you are just seeing what you want to see. You are so damn afraid of actually putting your stake in the ground re: having some small quantum level of expectation that you refuse to even play ball: you won’t even give Jarmo a chance to succeed and maybe fail, wait and see what fans might do if we actually find some level of success. You know if the team succeeds the fans will be happy and credit him. But you also know it may very well never get to that point (as we’ve seen for 14 years) so you are happy gaslighting fans telling them they never WOULD be happy even if success did come - knowing full well it likely won’t come so your theory won’t be tested pure troll behaviour - do better, if you have it in you
