    The solution is in the room.

    Had to run to the pet store, then eat dinner...   launched the game and it was 1 goal on 1 shot. Finished loading the dishwasher and... heard a goal horn.

    How we doing?

    Same as always.

    That bad, huh.

    What did you eat from the pet store?

    But he said the word critical.

    So we also agree on the purge. You have to dig up the deep state. Please start with the two equipment clowns behind the bench. You have to get at everyone who is in the players' ears. I always astounded that new coaches don't want their own people in those roles.

    So Frank Christie and Rip Simonick would not have had great careers?

    What is the question, who asked it, and what context goes with the quote?   Another wonderful nugget of sports news from the internets.   

    I think we have to give him sometime to acclimate.  The Quick Look report says he starts on the 3rd pair.  What he does with this opportunity will be up to him, but let’s give him a chance.  

    I did notice that Ray and Dan called out the Utah fans for cheering the wrong thing a few times.  Many do not understand the nuances of the game, but they really like the action and effort.

    But that 3rd D pair included a guy whom our GM targeted for JJP, a legit top 6 forward with 40 goal potential.  Doan who was apparently the sweetener, has been surprisingly good (except last night).  And I know that Kesserling had Bryson with him but I’m sorry, if your target to be the guy who can stabilize Power and an anchor on the second pairing is reduced to third line minutes, is statistically playing like $hite, and looks lost at times it’s yet another failure for Kevyn.  I had high expectations for this kid b/c of JJP and how Adams described him. Kevyn gets some credit for his UFA acquisition Timmons who has also surprised, and none for Mr. Glass who appears to have found his game at age 25.  Timmons / Kesselring is one step forward, two steps back.  Mule/Dahlin - the same.

    I agree that Kesserling looks pretty terrible so far.  While Doan was more than just a "throw in," Kesserling was still the major piece coming back in that deal.  At this point, Doan is the much better asset and is saving the trade from being, at this point, a disaster for the Sabres.  Kesserling may be fine in time, but the team is in such disarray right now that I don't see that happening anytime soon.

    Ok guys, his name is  spelled  K E S S E L Ring

    It is way to early to fully judge Kesselring but I do feel concerned that he is playing on the 3rd pair.  Would love to see him step up with Dahlin out. 

    Last season no one did.

    Your only two goals are from an AHL call up, who probably wasn’t expected to play one game if injuries weren’t rampant.  You need to score goals boys. Unacceptable effort.  
    Bryson and Kesselring were a  shite pair playing 11 and 12 minutes respectively, each minus 2.  Krebs line was horrendous.  Also minus 2, with Dunne -3.  And Beck was hardly noticeable.  If you can’t score, you must bring energy and prevent scoring.  
    upside- if they lose all these games on the road, there is a chance Adams or Ruff (hopefully both) are  gone by the time they play EDM on 17th.  

    Injuries have us putting out two 4th lines and the second 4th line played like a 5th line, the matchups are rough and it will be worse against the Avs. 

    The 3rd D pair was like a 4th D pair.  

    Keep in mind that Kesselring had two NHL seasons, 156 games, prior to coming to Buffalo so he is not an established NHL veteran on defense.   I see some little things that I like, but I am still waiting for him to impress me.  7 games and 0 points so far.

    With as many picks as they have had this is unacceptable and now you know why most of these scouts need to be fired

    Many scouts have been released over the years.   Adams gutted the scouting department as part of EEE, then he added to the staff later.  The Sabres rely heavily on analytics and that is headed up by Sam Ventura.  They have a guy named Jerry Forton, recently promoted to AGM, that is also heavily involved.  

    None of this means that GM doing to drafting has to listen to the scouts.  The scouts provide inputs but they do not  select the players.  The buck should stop with Kevyn Adams.

    I do not accept this response. Housing in Buffalo is a third of the cost of the average NHL city. The proximity to southern Ontario is real. Did you know the Sabres are middle of the pack for taxable income relative to the rest of the league? It’s tru. And Sabres alumni love it here. 
     

    The Sabres are not a victim of circumstances. They are an excuse of circumstances of an incompetent general manger owner.
