Ah When Genesis was great!

True. He played a simpler game and got better results.

1. New Owner 2. New GM 3. New coaching staff 4. 4 new defenseman, including 2 stay at home D who can play in the top 6. 5. A top 6 playmaking center so that TNT can move to the wing and we don't force Kulich to carry the 2nd line. 6. A 1B goalie who can split time with UPL.

So your solution to a team that allows 4 goals a game is to add more offense? The team is 12th in the NHL in GF and 3rd in 5 on 5 scoring. Maybe the problem is on defense and in goal?

Well at least Lindy knows what a good NHL team is supposed to look like.

I’d love to know why 4% of the people have more confidence in TP now vs a year ago? Was it the better product on the ice? Was it the improved facilities? Was it his visit to the team in Montreal?

This isn’t a surprise is it? The team stinks and is a reflection of the organization created by the owner. I doubt this fan poll will cause TP to change course.

My guess is McD has a direct line to Terry regarding the Bills as well. I said when Lindy was hired that I thought Lindy would get kicked upstairs after his stint as coach. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Lindy becomes the team president over Adams or his replacement. I honestly don't see this is a negative. Terry needs to hear from someone other that the worm tongue that is Adams, especially someone that owes no allegiance to Adams. Hopefully Lindy is telling TP that this team needs guys like Lydman and Tallinder and Terry tells Adams to go find such players. Can you imagine that Regier acquired Lydman for a 3rd? https://www.espn.co.uk/story/2143037/utils

I revise my previous post. On the current squad ——> Adams followed by Power.

What would an ex-Sabres roster look like? Goalie - Ullmark, Comrie Defense - Montour, McNabb, Zadorov, Myers, Borgen, Ristolainen and McCabe Forwards - Eichel, Reinhart, ROR, Mittelstadt, Cozens, Erod, E Robinson, Hall, Skinner, Olofsson, Armia, Marcus Foligno and Carrier

Nice win. They should have let McNabb take the 3rd shot, so that all 3 ex-Sabres got an attempt in the SO.

Where is Lyubushkin when you need him?

Jack stoned by UPL

A well deserved goal. The Sabres have played a solid game and didn’t deserve a regulation loss.

Berglund followed by Hall a close 2nd. Berglund acted like a child and quit on the team (and himself). Hall is second. He scammed Adams and the Sabres for a $8 mill deal and a NMC then literally gave the team zero effort. Adams get most of the blame for letting it happen, but Hall and his agent scammed the Sabres.

Why wouldn’t they sign Miedema this off-season? The Sabres need more players upfront with size. The only prospect in the A with similar size is Wahlberg.

I said that earlier in the thread and you can smell the decomposing franchise all the from PEI to Atlanta.

I’m feeling much better about getting a top 3 pick. I’m interested in Misa, Martone, and Desnoyers.

This team’s obsession for 14 years with offensive D has ultimately cost us McNabb, McCabe, Zadorov and Borgen. Just stupid.

Every time I see McNabb, who is playing his 806th NHL game today, I’m reminded of how terrible a GM Murray was as well. How much better would this rebuild have gone had we kept McNabb, an excellent stay at home defender?

You have to understand that something is work in order to fix it. Adams response to giving up an average 4 goals a game is "remain calm all is well."

Thank you sir may I have another? I was thinking more like lying dead face down in the gutter, but grabbing ankles works.

No he was referring to Star Trek. The previous poster was “Q”, named for Pickard’s nemesis from Star Trek. In the show, Q introduced Pickard to the Borg who turned Pickard into Locutus. Please accept my apology if you knew this already.

The crazy thing is we are actually in the same position as we were two years ago. We have a good offense (2 years ago was a great offense), but terrible defense and goaltending. Adams response to this situation two years ago was a decision to bring in a backup goalie (Comrie) while hoping one of his goalies of the future (UPL or Levi) emerged and a couple of depth D in Clifton and Erik Johnson. The offense up, the defense still stunk and the team failed again, despite UPL playing his butt off. This time he needs to invest in 2 the very least 2 good top 4 D.

https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/44237201/nhl-buffalo-sabres-playoff-drought-draft-free-agency-kevyn-adams Article long on rehash and short on objective ideas to fix the team, other than an agent saying Terry needs to spend more. Most interesting note was a discussion of Adams failure to capitalize on the good season a couple of years ago by not making the correct acquisitions on defense and in goal to take the next step. While this is something we have discussed, it does crystalize the failures of this current regime.
