For me, the line remains playoffs. Have always stuck with that. Now, that was never my line for praising the GM: making the playoffs once in 5 years would be the absolute bare minimum to simply avoid firing. We’ve averaged 76 points for the entirety of Adams’ tenure - the plan hasn’t gone well. But, as crazy as it seems since we are in 29th, if we make the playoffs*, if I was in charge I’d be a man of my word and retain Adams for next year. *If the cutoff had stayed at like the 84 point mark it once was for a while and we had made it, you can call it goal post moving if you want but I would have been sorely tempted to renege on my statement due to the anomaly that type of qualifying would represent. But the Wings are pacing for 93 points now so that’s more less out the window if we make it, it’s full value, and as ever “we are what our record says”. And we’d be a playoff team. And Adams should get a 6th year But assuming we miss it’s tar AND OR feather Better go 22-7 and win the tiebreaker

Sabres were I believe 14 points back of a playoff spot before their recent streak of 4 wins in a row: which has left them 11 points back. Essentially gaining .75 points on the pace per win. Push the streak to about 18 or 19 in a row and they are probably tied for WC2 Sabres would be pacing for 94 points if they put together an 18 game win streak food for thought

They should harass him on Facebook and various other social media

Its like how McDonald’s chicken nuggets are like 45 dollars

This is the most motivated they’ve been in years

Scoreboard

Mittelstink?

Ya a shot to the heart

Only 1 more game after today before a 2 week break Prob told him to get an early start

Better be careful: all of his numbers are a direct result of playing with Dahlin This is why you have so much value in a guy like Dahlin

Everyone hates the team and now they can’t be stopped lol Can’t write it I’m telling you, this could be it

Not to mention his past comments on situations like this make it all rather damning And therein lies their one chance for a true Run

One of Adams biggest failings has been his head coaching hires Doesn’t want to BE HERE?! we gave this beer leaguer 30 million dollars because he teased the fulfillment of a leadership concept in our minds he should be thanking the sabres on bended knee

I will say: this is it. This is their last chance to pull off a miracle they need about a 10 game winning streak for sure, they have 3 right now, chance for first 4 gamer. If not now, when they’ll absolutely never be more motivated, after getting lambasted in the media at both ends, it’s never if they can push this streak to ~ 10, I won’t turn the lights out Today is a must, must win From a certain point of view

We’d still finish 4 points short lmao that’s 89 If we wanna get to 93 we need to go about 23-7. or at least a bunch of loser points. And that’s if no one else of the 32 teams ahead of us also go streaking it’s not over. But it’s over. Ya know? 8 regulation losses in next 30 and they are through

It’s also funny that they clearly believed the excuse plausible solely based on the fact Samuelsson is always hurt

Parody can be fun

The fact they probably did that to justify their lack of response is embarrassingly par for the course like congrats, you fooled me! I thought he was playing, yup

The only way it can be shaped into a positive is if they address the roster reflective of their record over 82, and not as if they are “really” only their good stretch if you only supplement the team based on the latter, the team will only be good when it’s at its best, again. But it’s not about peak: it’s about a balanced roster to endure the waves of a season

Should be the Utah Yettay

How are they in the other 2 zones? Forwards also play transitionally and on defence - last I checked it was the defensive metrics of our F that suffered, not so much their offensive mark Stone isn’t elite because he scores 60 points he’s elite because he’s incredibly hard to play against and puts up 60 while doing it

Coach said he was good. He must be playing or they’d have at least kept things vague enough so as to influence the league on a suspension imo

That C core isn’t gonna do it

This could help them, in all seriousness. It’s a shame that in all likelihood it’s probably too late it make it this year, but this sort of stuff can give athletes enduring chips on their shoulders
