You know what, you are absolutely right. And I absolutely won’t

The Bengals made the SB after an 0-2 start and that represented 13% of their season. The Sabres can overcome 0-2 over 82 don’t worry, I got you

Because Quinn got hurt and we weren’t proactive that’s the actual answer right? It falls under the “hindsight need not apply” things like defensive supplements and backup goalie

I think his point isn’t that he isn’t living up to it, merely that he hasn’t come close to earning it yet. of course, that’s sort of fundamentally baked into the deal: we are banking a lot on what he WILL be. I just think it’s a little optically “scary” in a sense in that there’s no point pretending it’s not rather on the trailblazing and pioneering end to see a guy get THAT much SO soon with so little committed to record for me, being a first overall pick does help me feel more comfortable about it. Plus, if he falls short, it won’t be by much

He was our biggest offseason addition I think? So it’s a story worth following

Look up over correction in the dictionary there’s a photo of Matt Duchene

We’re onto something?

PAY THE MAN

It better be intercontinental

Otherwise known as the “Non-(terminally)onlines”

Let’s gooooooooo

Owen too

That’s a great secondary assist for career point 1

Pay the man

Levi too

He’s been good, Greenway

Last I checked the expectations weren’t “at least manage the position as equally badly as a team that did it badly”

Stop carrying water for Adams failure to address the position in 4 years its ridiculous he could literally never fix it and you wouldn’t care. As long as there’s no big contract. It just can’t be done

The Cackling Duff season 2, volume 1

Doubt they are shown the door tbh. Do not think Adams *should* be shown the door, either. But making the playoffs is so clearly and obviously and by any reasonable rights the necessary “expectation” for a GM going into his 4th year on the clock, in that it cannot be “job well done” without it. But I don’t believe a failure to meet reasonable expectations justly and rightfully means firing, either. But I don’t see a convincing argument for why a team should bring back a GM if they go 5 years without making the playoffs, so that’s where my line falls. Maybe that’s an arbitrary number, but you have to draw the line somewhere and half a decade seems fair in that I can’t be convinced any sort of strategy was necessary that would take LONGER THAN THAT in a league half the teams make the playoffs. Why the heck should a slowest of slow builds take 6 years to field a playoff team? That’s absurd it’s an entertainment *product*. Make the gaddamn playoffs lol He has an additional 2 years to do it now after 3 years of free pass If that’s unfair, well, shoot me

With that a shameless plug from my twitter If you haven’t seen this film: watch it

Nikita Zadorov I think he makes The Third Man

Rasmus Ristolainen You know who was really close too: Alex Nylander

Next step for us? Spring the trap

Maybe it takes the bigger guys longer to get up to speed, like Bowser in Mariocart…most of our core guys are more less giants.. regardless, and either way, it’s only one game
