Agree

It’s a parity olive branch in a league where half the teams make the playoffs and we REFUSE TO CAPITALIZE ON IT In the words of Jack Eichel, “HUH?!”

Of course You can call the players whatever you like: but they aren’t stupid. They aren’t stupid enough to believe a mandate of playoffs if they have even a base understanding of the cap mechanics of the league and why a cap was instituted in the first place

When I can tell you that only 2 of the last 160 teams that spent as we are right now have made the playoffs, when one can present that kind of data point, there’d need to be some strong evidence presented on the other side of the equation detailing those moves that Pegula is making, these transactions taking place that evidence the franchise being treated as a toy by the owner actually asking: what are some moves in the last 5 years that you can prove were made because of Terry operating as the GM? I don’t mean prove in a legal sense, just like literally some examples of draft picks made or trades made where the impetus was Terry’s analysis as an owner-playing-GM, and not transactions influenced by the imposed budget “well we can just guess at it” doesn’t work very well when I have concrete proof of the lack of spending, and concrete data on what that leads to

I don’t agree. In fact I vehemently disagree with a side of, “are we following the same franchise, here?” I don’t see, and haven’t in 14 years seen any evidence that to my eye suggests Terry meddles any more so than than a rough anecdotal average of all owners. Owners do generally meddle; because they own the team and that’s their right we have a far greater problem, im somewhat surprised you aren’t keying on instead, because I really don’t think it’s the other thing. Way worse problem. Terry doesn’t care *enough*. The whispers of meddling are borne out from the early days of Terry’s tenure when we were spending to the cap. Terry is an absentee owner. His mandate to Adams was to cut costs. That has not only manifested in the *demonstrable* lack of spending, lack of commitment to winning, it was the *very principle upon which Adams took the job* people, this is the Adams tenure. Don’t blame Adams, I do not care. But get your head on straight here: the issue is Terry not caring about the Sabres enough i shouldn’t need to explain this by now: teams that don’t spend typically don’t win, teams that are the youngest in the league typically do not win. We are both. Those items are both a reflection of lack of spending. Young players are cheap. This is a puzzle that easily fits together. These are the hallmarks of the Adams tenure. Pegula is the common denominator- but, as mentioned, he’s found multiple ways to fail over the years. You need to, when it’s 14 years

Every single nfl team ends with an “S” WOW did not realize that till now

Are there other examples of animals being in a name and it being one that’s the same plural and singular? Like, Kansas City Sheep, etc

When you have a drought on the precipice of 14 years in length, the closer you get to boiling down our ails to one solitary issue, the further you become from understanding the degree of our ineptitude

Outlaws is cool. The other two suck Easy choice “Mammoth” is so awkward we are the Boston Bruin

If what you are saying about Lindy is true, and he’s a rambling out-of-touchman…perhaps what we witness is pressure yielding the diamond that is Rasmus Dahlin’s captaincy. The Harrington comments DO sound like disagreement imagine if Dahlin seized the wheel by force. The culture we seek could be created through our own ineptitude. It might have moulded a giant

Apologies for being cryptically vague. I’ve felt for a while that a couple of the Names of sabres twitter have taken on a curiously “in defence of the sabres” type tone..correlating with our descent down the standings. It could just be me, I have to remember to check my frustration with this franchise sometimes

Dahlin

How anyone could call the bold into question is rather absurd, knowing what we know of Samuelsson’s on ice vision in general Perhaps it’s reflected in the fact Tage is apparently ok

It’s a fair point. the times, they are (ever) a-changin’ . it IS 2025

I wouldn’t underestimate the amount the players’ newly reinvigorated disdain for the fanbase might propel them to a few wins here. You heard Zucker. They care about wins now. The fans are wrong and folly

We are merely replicating the Quinn dialogue from last year And we’d be making the same mistake no matter how many “ES per 60 on Tuesdays since January 5th” advanced metrics posts on Kulich we see

Good or bad is a point of view…all I can say is that Chad has begun to fly the flag of Kevyn Adams

Cooooooooooooooooooooooo tes

Huge W. 10 back

How are the devils in a playoff spot

4 nations facing off

Coooooooootes

Who’s the Mittlestatish guy around 8 we are targeting?

It’s a little infuriating. Is that the quiet part out loud? Yes, after all this time, seeing them always seem to win only when it doesn’t matter is pretty annoying. It shouldn’t be, but we’ve never seen it translate going forward. I can’t help but feel it will be to our detriment by giving the GM a false impression of our actual aptitude i suppose this is what it means to be a broken fan
