We are all products of our environment. I travel a lot so tolerance is critical. -

But he was not a hockey guy. He was a businessman. The problem is that he didn’t hire the best hockey guys, and turn hockey operations over to them.

He was on Colorado, wasn't he on their 2nd pair? -
I want better. In addition to 4D ... Bring in a 3C and make Krebs battle for the 3C or 4C slot. Nothing I see tells me he is a 3C. Maybe the fancy stats show something but goals and assists do not. Bring in another power forward. Trade Skinner (dreaming) Redo the 4th line and bring in a tough guy that can also play.

No doubt the defense is better than last year and the year prior. I expected a big improvement considering how bad it once was. One nice result of adding Byram is that he pushes 3 other guys down. Next step is a big body, a tough stay at home top 4 guy. A guy that will clear the front of the net and make people pay for touching our goalie. Get that guy and watch Power flourish. Because Power is not a physical player, and Byram is not that guy, and Dahlin should not have to be that guy, we need the #4 defenseman to be that guy. Did you see Detroit getting chippy with UPL? When this team gets better this will happen even more if they don’t address it. Get that kind of guy at D4, and now look at 5,6,7,8 - pick from Samuelsson, Clifton, Johnson, Joker, and Bryson. Good teams have depth. I know it’s not easy to find these players, especially for a perennial bottom feeder, but that is what Adams is paid to do. So yes, the defense is better. But it’s not there yet, there are too many players that have the same skill set. We are missing a key ingredient. The Sabres are 3 or 4 players away from being a very good team. I don’t think we have to wait for all these prospects to develop to get there. Adam’s 5th off season is coming. For most teams his time would be up. Considering where Buffalo was when he got there he gets another year. -

5 Game Road Trip w/ 1 Back-to-Back. Can UPL play them all?
Pimlach replied to JoeSchmoe's topic in The Aud Club
It would have been easier to make the playoffs by adding a goalie in the summer, and putting Levi in Rochester to get the reps he needs. -
I think Tage can be a dominant force but he has to play stronger and smarter. He wants to be fed, he still plays like a winger.

I missed the game. I had to be Mr Fix it for a young 35 year old guy that can’t use tools, can’t work to a schedule, and lacks confidence. I’m teaching him a lot. I caught some of the first and second period on radio. Sounded like we caved and made some mistakes under pressure. Well, it’s a tough league and Detroit had their backs to the wall. Have not read the thread. I have to go back to the hardware store. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry awaits - I’m getting too old for this stuff. Bring Industrial Arts back to the dam high schools.

This is good since we have Ryan Johnson too and I like have to 7 or 8 good defenders but as it stands right now we lack the big tough one and I see that as a hole. Especially for playoff style hockey, which starts in February.
