It’s because you are missing the point: it’s less about celebrating another team’s failures as it is the leafs failures being positioned to suggest the sabres “actually aren’t that bad”. You get that that’s the play, right? See

Dallas over Edmonton Dallas Oilers should have lost to LA

1 Canadian team left 🙂

I’m in anyone but Edmonton mode now, don’t think it would bother me too much if Toronto won today, other than thinking Florida might provide more of an obstacle for Edmonton I’d rather a Canadian team not win, all else being equal

If anything we completely ripped Florida off when we bagged Kulich.

I should say, it was episode 5 for me where it took off. 5 and 6 were excellent

I’d like to see Dallas run the table

We aren’t spending to the cap on post count, either: be my guest

They aren’t looking to make the playoffs: they are looking to make the playoffs while spending less they aren’t looking for senior leadership: they are looking for senior leadership that will report to Kevyn Adams Manual. Ineptitude.

But a lot of these conversations bleed back into the same thing: until you admit that appearing at a Rochester game literally does not bear mentioning relative to our unwillingness to spend to the cap, and what that means for Terry’s commitment, you’ll go in circles Almost everything Terry does is half assed where the Sabres are concerned: yes, that’s the answer for you. A lot of rich people behave this way: they see themselves so far above most others that to them, a 40% effort OUGHT to be enough, nay, rightly should be the sabres missing for 14 years straight is the opposite of a coincidence. And it’s not correlation: it’s causation. And yes, it’s inevitable. You can’t that many times in a row by chance: manual ineptitude. And what makes them so infuriating is I’m sick of hearing about how incompetent they are: cause that’s not it. They are willfully incompetent, which is much worse Yea, their non-thoroughness is a reason for the inevitable ineptitude. It’s the reason. Ownership is half assed. Why is this a question. I’ve been screaming this for 5 years I’m gonna start getting mad now: THEY AREN’T TRYING HARD ENOUGH TO WIN. What is non-thoroughness if not that? No stone unturned is what I say. They do they opposite the answers are in the room

Sample size - - - 2021 was a covid season full of anomalies in a bubble with odd divisions it shouldn’t be looked upon for much of anything Didn’t even quote anyone lol

It’s an elementary school logic problem: not all team that spend to the cap make the playoffs but teams that make the playoffs spend to the cap will you make the playoffs if you don’t spend? No will you make the playoffs if you spend? Not necessarily but you might we haven’t spent to the cap or fielded the non youngest team in hockey for the duration of KA’s tenure Not making it when we did spend isn’t evidence to the fact that spending is irrelevant and it’s a terrible argument. Just because there’s no magic formula doesn’t mean there aren’t causation indicators that we DO know are causing the problems that they are indeed wilfully ignoring for purposes of this discussion there IS a magic formula to drastically increase our chances: not have an internal cap. They are indeed choosing to not win

No, we know the issue. We don’t spend to the cap and have the youngest team in hockey The answers are there and obvious

“No, Terry won’t allow the team to spend at the level of others teams, therefore needlessly handcuffing our ability to make the playoffs, but he showed up in Roch for a game so I wouldn’t say he HATES the sabres”

I don’t think he’s apathetic, but I think the idea I have to argue why him caring, somewhat isn’t enough in the face of a 14 year drought is rather absurd The fact the discussion needs to be framed as if he cares, at all is the whole point. It’s the resilience I’m talking about There’s no level we won’t lower ourselves to. We will grant this team the lowest of bars

I’ve seen all the films and zero of the shows, had to try Andror because the praise is incessant. Onto episode 4

This

Obsessed with potential ceiling

But cash and caring are “I want to win, but only if I can do it cheaply” isn’t caring

It’s that easy, apparently

“We tried” (But they didn’t, because they handcuffed themselves with “under adams”) Dude please don’t fall for that

A higher career points per game in the playoffs than any current Sabre has in the regular season

No room in Buffalo for a guy who has 62 points in 68 playoff games
