I think you are hitting on the right points. Puck battles are a problem. Slow to get to a loose puck, not working hard enough. The Power Play is bad and has been for a long time. I wanted Geertsen to pummel Zadorov, that would have been a worthy contribution because he can’t play a normal 4th line shift.

This was a huge red flag.

The hired Jarmo too. Jarmo is a former GM.

The words you used are “management group”, not “managers”. You said the didn’t add to the management group The receipts are there While Stahl is an entry level guy, Jarmo is not. He is clearly part of the executive level, he attends the executive level meetings you see on imbedded. So the Sabres added to the “management group” and you are wrong. You do not have to have a manager title to work in the “management group” or to be an executive. You know better, you just won’t admit it

Ok I’m done. You cannot admit you errored but the Sabres did add to the management group.

You said “”management group”. Look at your post. Your statement is wrong. If Jarmo replaces Adams you would have to admit that Pegula had some type of contingency. Just admit it, or let it go.

Your info was once true, but now outdated. Adam’s may have not wanted advisors but he got two added this past off season. So, they did add to management, therefore they did NOT roll back the same management team as you erroneously stated.

Don’t know. Whatever he does is probably entry level stuff for now, he is brand new to FO activities. Jarmo was the significant add, he was the successful directing of Scouting with St Louis, and the GM for Columbus for awhile.

Where is @JohnC?

Worse, cantaloupe are out of season during hockey season.

They added Stahl and Jarmo to the management group. Recall that after the “palm trees and taxes” press conference that the national press consistently reported that Adams was the only GM in the league with no advisors on his staff. Fingers pointed at Terry. When you say “they”, you are really saying Terry.

I think you captured the Pegula factor.

Agree. We need help at center. Remember Adams traded Eichel and drafted Savoie, Östlund, and Kulich in the next draft but none of them are a 1C at this point Savoie turned into McLoed, a good 3C Kulich is trying to find his way as a top 6 player but so far does not look like a 1C Östlund still cooking. Helenius showed something in camp and will be up.

My assessment is that they were terrible for 2 periods and then played better in the 3rd. Another incomplete game and a lot of mistakes. The forward lines look like they are not together, just like the start of last year. No one is in synch. I don’t like the effort. The big guns are silent. Lyon kept them in it Tage, Tuch, Dahlin - if they don’t step up and carry this team it’s going to be a very long season. This roster is pretty much mediocre at best. Blaming Tage for the last play, I understand the frustration, but McAvoy made an amazing play on the puck and on Tages stick. The power play is a terrible again. The PK has been decent. I don’t think Lindy is getting this team to play to their potential. I think he is done as a HC, and we already know his staff is not good.

He had 6 shots versus the Rangers but tonight he couldn’t pull the trigger.

He tried a shot but McAvoy made a great play to knock the puck away. Give McAvoy credit. I think McAvoy is a fantastic defenseman.

McLeod with speed.

Dan fails to mention Paul McCartney in that concert list. What a dope.

I’m happy to see some fight. Any fight.

We need more O zone time.

Zucks with a well earned goal.

And we thought a Pegula would end the bargain basement front office BS. Instead he requires it because he is the Owner and the POHO

They have to. There is nothing else for them to cover.

Stop jinxing the Bills please. Direct your ire at the Sabres.

Yup. It pains me. So is Norty, Robert Swados, and Freddie Hunt. They gave us a fantastic start and a winning culture
