Saw some crazy stats today.
Amerks are 1 of 2 teams in a playoff spot with under 20 regulation wins. After last night, they have 17, along with Manitoba. No other team in contention has below 20 RW.
Amerks have a -21 goal differential and are 7 games over 500.
Seems nearly impossible that are where they are right now. Two huge games on a B2B, home and away with the Marlies, who are 3 pts behind them this weekend. Friday night and Sat afternoon. I'll be there Friday night.

Here's the video other teams watch when preparing to play the Sabres.
Buffalo would get knocked silly in the first round if they made the playoffs. It would be brutal.

Won't happen this year, maybe Byram who knows.
I thought this too. Only been here a week and he is the loudest guy on the bench. Guess he hasn't learned the Sabres way yet.

This is rather funny...I actually thought the date was a misprint but after checking Donald Breashear is still playing hockey (or rather fighting) at 52 years of age! Did not do too well but stil amazed he is still going...
Not a lot of hair between the two.

Does Power translate to Lazy up where Owen is from?

In the limited time I’ve seen him play he seems more like a Zemgus (without the physical size) than a Mitts .
Exactly. He does have some value in Rochester....so let's bring him up and watch Rochester continue to flounder some more. Buffalo's season is over. So lets try to ***** the Amerks too. Losing breeds losing. Adams needs to be fired into the solar eclipse.

18 goals last two seasons combined.
How many does Krebs have? I'm glad Casey is gone, but Jesus Kevyn....you are actually dumber than I thought.

I’m so excited about this new roof. I’ll probably buy tickets to see it next year
But a drone to get a birds eye view. Will be much cheaper.

I partially disagree seeing as Adams has made it apparent he’s been trying to get bigger stronger players since mid way through last season. He went after Chychrun and acquired Greenway and Stillman. Draft wise, my guess it’s more of a best player available approach more than specifically targeting small guys.
I was gonna mention Stillman. I've been to 9 or 10 Amerks games so far this season. I've seen one fight and that was Brendan Warren. Stillman seems to by staying away from the rough stuff. Fighting looks to be way down in the A this year. I love a good throw down now and again, but that's not the reason I enjoy hockey.
Last two games I went to were against Belleville last week, (Wed&Fri). I couldn't believe the size difference between the two teams. That's what made me look up teams avg size. The Senators avg 6' 2" 197lbs. Amerks are 6'0" 189lbs. Size doesn't necessarily translate to wins, but come the playoffs, it helps. And B-ville won both games to hop the Amerks in the standings.

The three headed monster worked just fine. You have to play your goaltenders to see what you have and help project what you may have in the future. This year was just part of that process. UPL has matured, Levi is getting minutes now, and we have a dependable backup.
He woulda known what he had last year if he didn't do the same thing. He's handled the goalies all wrong.

UPL's growth this season, in every element of his game, has been astonishing
All it took was for someone to realize plenty of goalies get better the more regular playing time they get. Adams three headed monster and everyone gets a turn plan, did not work at all. He has cost this team since he's been here with his idiotic overall handling of the goalie situation.
In Kevyn's world, goalies are like doorknobs.....everyone gets a turn.

So Sabres have won three in a row and the Amerks have lost three in a row. F'n bi-polar organization.

He was out there way to long.
Thompson had the chance to end it. 7 mil for his many years? After this season, ya, I'm open to moving him, we need clutch players, not show up when I want players.
I think he's totally lost his confidence. Last year everything went in for him. This year he's struggling and you can see it. He's gotta get out of his own head.

He's fighting himself. Not sure what to do when he gets in close. Same with the wrap around attempt. He needs to start shooting again.

Not to mention how many leads they've pissed away. We're 3-0 up on Cuse last night and barely hung on 3-2. Very odd team this season.
