irregularly irregular

3-4 years if effective today the entire front office and the entire coaching staff was dumped and competent people found to stop the swirl. It would take the remainder of the this season just to stop the momentum and maybe get the to the point that change can be made. Then there is a chance there might be some positive direction for this franchise. All that said, Terry has to sell the team in order for things to truly change for the better in the near term. I'm convinced of that he simply doesn't care.

You missed your calling. That was painfully awesome. I feel worse than the day my best friend wrecked my new truck and some a-hole stole my dog....

Yep, don't lie. One or two extra questions to see if you are being deceptive or not is all it's about. They feel that you are not being truthful, then it escalates. The days of doing a fly-by at the border are over.

I will always be a fan of the Buffalo Sabres as long as they exist and I exist. But damn, Terry is making it hard to believe in them. I pray that changes soon.

MAYBE Mitts learned something while he was away playing with the big boys. Remember that quote about his first Avs practice and how it was the most difficult practice he had ever taken part in? If they can get Mitts for cheap I'd say why not, but I'm not inclined to try that route again. He really doesn't fit anywhere in the line-up as currently constructed. That is unless his game has changed to the better while he was away.

I'm just hanging out here so that I can hold Inkies beer once he sees this post.

The exact terminology and scenario that I've used when talking to myself about this team. Luckily for all of you, I keep most of my conversations with myself to myself.

The last thing this team needs is another timeline, especially one that KA is trying to manage. Of the available options (that we know about), Robbie is the best answer. KA has exactly what Dallas wants, but it's the futures that he holds so dearly. If the end result were to be another rebuild, I fear that the Buffalo Sabres would no longer exist. The swirl would become the flush and the franchise would end up somewhere else.

I think it would take the 2026 first (maybe top 3 protected) + Quinn + Helenius in order to get Robbie. They would ask for Benson and/or Kulich instead of Quinn.

Sorry, I had other things to do.

If improved is picking #9 at the draft rather than 5 or 6 or 7 or even eight, all the time not making the playoffs, then I guess they have improved. When does the parade start?

Isn't that almost the exact definition of Stockholm Syndrome?

Your honor, the Prosecution presents as evidence another grievous example of Kevyn Adams being totally worthless as the general manager of a NHL franchise. If this statement from Friedman is true, he is inept beyond compare. No wonder the Sabres are in the position that they are. Armstrong should be arrested for child abuse. It's tragic and comical to everyone who isn't a fan of the Sabres. The auto dealers in town must love it when he goes shopping for a new car for the little lady.

No doubt for the better, otherwise he would likely be smacking KA up side of his noggin several times a day.

Nope, not even close. In fact, I desire the opposite, as would everyone else that visits this site. I'd be really happy to see another couple decades of the Sabres I grew up with. Being a solid team year after year. Always making the playoffs and often getting to the 3rd round or maybe even the cup finals. Sell outs every game and a years long waiting list for season tickets. I suspect we are around the same age and have seen the same things since the 1970's and I know we all want it to be different because it has sucked for the last decade and a half. From my point of view it has really SUCKED for the past 5 years with KA at the helm. I gave him the benefit of the doubt early on, but no more. The last thing I desire to see is more of the mindless chaos that has buried this franchise over the past 15 years.
