A 1st for Risto? In the year of our lord 2025? Go home, Flyers; you're drunk.

I've been saying for over a year now that this just isn't a serious hockey organization. Not firing a GM with Kev's track record coming off a season like this is just the confirmation of that.

Either way, I've liked what I've seen from him. He's a rookie, so there's obviously been stutter-steps, but you can see the bones of a very good Forward there. Trading him would be foolish.

Sadly, I think that's a strike against the Sabres. Seems to me, the Bills are Terry's "favorite son" and as long as they're doing well, the Sabres are the rat bastard black sheep of the family. No urgency to be better because he already has a successful franchise. I could be way off base, but that's the impression that I get.

Got lost in the maelstrom of ***** from the rest of the last 30 minutes? Plus, I think we're just conditioned to expect our special teams to be an absolute ***** show at this point. Not excusing it at all, I think that it's just not surprising. I had zero expectation that they would score 6-3. None. That's how much our power play sucks. I was just shocked they didn't allow another ENG.

Huh? He's been one of the few bright spots on this team and looks like a top-6 Centerman in the very near future.

If they were to do this, that might really be the last straw for me that causes me to just walk away. I thought Lindy was a lazy, safe hire. Hiring Appert on the heals of Lindy would be the laziest hire possible. They 100% need to move on from Adams and, honestly, probably need to move on from Lindy, too. Then, there needs to be a 100% break from the status quo, which means a clean sweep of the executive and operations branches of the team. This dead ass organization needs fresh blood and to be rid of anybody with the stink of this organization on them. Then, an experienced external POHO needs to be brought in to rebuild the organization top-down. Sadly, that would be a lot of work, and I just don't think Uncle Terry gives enough of a damn to do it. So in the unlikely event he does move on from Adams, I fully expect an internal promotion and if Lindy is fired (not bloody likely) or steps down (maybe?) I'd wager your new HC is Appert. Wouldn't surprise me to see them kick Lindy up to GM or POHO. Neither of which I'm interested in. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Trying to sell patience to this fanbase as season 14 with no playoffs slithers down the rim of the bowl like a rogue chunk of exploded diarrhea is diabolical.

I'm surprised that doesn't happen every game.

I would love to know what was going through Adams's head as he watched his fatally flawed roster get picked apart by a real hockey team after being backed into a corner. All of the flaws that he has caused/enabled/exacerbated on full display.

I'm sure this 5 game losing streak is just a bump in the road

UPL lunges waaaay out of position again leaving the net wide open. Fortunately the pass went astray. He's regressed a bunch this season.

Lindy looks like "Why did I take this ***** job?"

And sadly because of how bad they've bungled the roster, his "development" has been pissed away playing on an island of misfit toys. He needed a year or two in the AHL to develop his skill. Instead, he's wasted 2 years being a tiny 4th line grinder.

They'll lose this game 8-5.

They are, quite literally, the polar opposite of the Sabres. Draft well. Develop well. Aggressively move to improve their weaknesses. Stability. Well constructed roster. It's like they're playing a different sport than us.

This team is total garbage. Great job, Kevyn. High marks across the board. Just trust the process. Nah, ***** you.

UPL with the robust .750 sv% tonight.

Wide open net. Geez, UPL.

***** this team.

He can go. Never was a fan of that trade. He was completely redundant when we acquired him.

Dahlin fighting 3 guys, everyone stands around and stares. JFC

Balls.

There's enough individual talent here to have nights like this sometimes, but the roster cohesion is not there, so most games they're not very good.
