In an age of bloated Marvel extravagance, BCS is the greatest Origin Story of them all. A show that truly rewards patience, cares for its characters and its audience, and calibrates its pacing like no other television show ever has. To be able to build up so much suspense over multiple seasons where the audience ALREADY KNOWS THE OUTCOME is a master feat of show-making. Just an incredible, near-flawless television experience.

You're JUST NOW getting an EZ Pass? Who are you people?!

Scientists are still studying the side effects of long-haul mediocrity.

For better or worse, Adams sounds like a man in no real hurry. He has his bosses’ buy-in on a long-horizon rebuild; there is zero pressure on him to achieve near-term success (at least, success that is measured in wins and ticket sales). He’s not even urgently trying to acquire a real NHL goalie, instead he waits “patiently” as the goalie market gets picked over (for the third offseason in a row). I really like Adams, he seems like a smart, great guy. I have no idea if he’s the least bit competent as an NHL General Manager, because it appears he’s almost completely unaccountable.

Whoa whoa WHOA does Meghan Chayka maybe need her own thread?

As a parent, I understand what he means.

I do not mean to sound flippant but did KA's plan include finding an NHL-caliber goaltender? At what stage of KA's plan implementation are we allowed to expect him to secure a real netminder? I like KA, I like listening to him talk, I think he's probably a good dude. But for me the inability to find a capable goalie over the past two offseason is a major checkmark in the KA "CONS" column - it is simply inexcusable (to me, at least).

Are we not counting Ullmark?

I have never seen an NHL GM have as much trouble closing on a goalie as Adams seems to have. It’s almost becoming a sitcom.

I didn’t have a strong opinion about it until I watched the actual clip of him saying it - and now I’ve concluded that he’s just a bitchass.

Rhymes with “holy.”

Why fiery?

That was a sick goal.

Is Mitts gonna start dominating now? He seems to be on a trajectory.

Dahlin just CRUSHED a dude like an aluminum can.

Lol if you thought the “maintain our lifestyle” slide was scary, wait until you see the PE PowerPoints…

In hell, every night at 5 pm they serve meatloaf and discuss whether the tank was a success.

(UPL not so much.)

Quinn belongs.

Dahlin clearly has the coach he needs now. Excited to watch him continue to develop.

Always remember that, at the end of the day, all of these people are basically, in some form or another, gym teachers.

My biggest nightmare right now is Adams getting fired. It would mean that this was all for nothing.

My biggest fear at this point is that Adams is fired within the year - which would mean that this was NOT the plan (or that the plan was executed poorly) and it has all been for nothing…

Congratulations Kevyn Adams for holding firm.
