Wear your mouthguard just one time, you wanker

Adams has us on the Levi timeline Levi

1-1 “series over” lol Connor McMouthguard still has a ways to go

“upon closer inspection, jumping out of the window of a moving vehicle could be dangerous.”

Tuch is such a perfect, Cinderella slipper microcosm of this failed build excellent player, great contract: no desire to win during this time Age 30 and older player, ~ double the cost: it’s go time, boys

Yes Selke nominated Marner doesn’t fall under “forwards who can defend” also, no more instantly disqualifying take nowadays than, “the Buffalo Sabres have enough scoring” Verging on parody - - - there is no argument re: “should” we add a player better than anyone else on our team. Whether we will, well obv prob not

Their late 90s sweaters were so much better I’m actually not a fan of the way colors have trended THIS blindingly bright in recent years. Sort of a clap back to all the darker stuff earlier. The neon green of Dallas is too much and this may be blasphemous after begging for Royal for so long but like…our Royal blues are essential glow in the dark. I also don’t see why we need to have a near identical shade to St. Louis

It’s significantly more likely Levi is never an nhl goalie at all than a good one. Man, that was a WILD time for a while. The suggestion he wasn’t Hasek was a hot take

14 year drought and we are still seeing “be careful with draft picks” posts super-serum, captain buffalo fans Never change

Sure they are

Levi is tiny

The sabres place in the standings was reflective of their overall roster, all 3 main positions Reflective of the talent, I mean. I still don’t think people are grasping the fact that final standings position is by far the greatest and most accurate commentary on the overall talent makeup of a roster, when we are talking about a free flowing end to end game where your best skater plays 25% of it, and all your players have to play both ways You are going more and more off track in your analysis the more you shrink the key changes variables needed, the more you hypothetically shrink down the “causes” of why we are bad to as small a territory as possible

BPA

The summer should be about improving everywhere as much as possible. That’s a freebie when you’ve missed 14 years straight

Adding a D of all things to Adams is a Buridan's ass level setup, that I’ve got nothing for

I am trying my best here to renege on my plan and you are not helping lol There really are no more outs for me, are there

Does anyone think there’s a chance, should we actually bring in a notable senior advisor, that even were we to make the playoffs this coming year, the credit would be more so given to the presence of the advisor, and we’d be thus protected from an Adams extension?

“What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge goalposts?” “No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.” The truth of the matter is there’s a level of Final Boss fan evolved well beyond the matter of simply moving goalposts. They’ve eliminated them entirely: the logic being the rather gaslighting tact of claiming the level of fan satisfaction wouldn’t change regardless of the result, therefore rendering results in effect meaningless. Ie if you can’t be happy with the team as is, you never will anyways.

It’s ok to admit we were wrong. We’ve now experienced it. We were wrong. I was wrong.

I agree but I I don’t think he stinks in the playoffs, any current Sabre would need to elevate their career regular season per game rate significantly upon entering the playoffs to match Marner’s playoff rate

lol I never said they reflect the board as a whole, liger’s classifier was “no one” It’s the idea we’d be “no happier” even if we made the playoffs. An absurd hypothesis given we haven’t even been able to test it in 14 years

His playmaking would be such a goldilocks fit

I literally quoted a post dude Not only does he say it he claims it’s how we ALL feel deep down

Relax guys; it’s not that bad. Look, we could be the leafs!
