If they start trading guys for more picks, I'm packing it in lol

Interim head coach Matty Ellis.

Nashville has nothing worth a ***** to offer. A roster full of aging/underperforming veterans and JAG's.

He's gonna give them what for. A real verbal thrashing.

The biggest problem with Adams is he has a very specific type of player he likes and he has stocked the roster and pipeline full of them. So when the coach rolls out lines and pairings it's hard to differentiate one player from the next. It's a bunch of clones for the most part. This is a soft, soft team. They play soft, weak hockey and the rest of the NHL treats them like a community ***** doll. There's no passion, almost no grit, and zero leadership. Blow a 4-0 lead? Nobody's pissed off, there's nobody getting in guys' faces...they just stare blankly into the void. These guys are a bunch of beer league buddies that have been playing together for a few years, so they don't police each other when they ***** up. Sadly, the roster needs a hard reset. Identify a handful of guys to restart around and start making some moves*. * I know this ain't happening. I guess this is just my shot at fan faction.

You can read back through my post history, I've been pretty steadfast with remaining positive about this team. I foolishly bought in to what Adams was doing based on the early returns that we saw late in the 2022/23 season. Since then, it has been an utter failure by GMKA to properly supplement this roster to get them to the next step. He's left these guys to their own devices and there's regression across the board and complete systemic failure. I'm all out of positivity. I'm not even taking them seriously anymore, I tune in to rubberneck the car crash. This franchise is a smoldering heap of failure with no bright horizons. Next step is tuning them out completely which probably isn't far off. Huzzah.

I've always thought the end of the Kruger era was rock bottom. It's like groundhog day.

I'd say FIRE ***** EVERYONE, but only serious hockey organizations do stuff like that.

WE WANT 11 WE WANT 11 WE WANT 11

Maybe we can trade Jokiharju for some wrapping paper and egg nog?

Being out hit 34-12, out shot 35-23. Dominated. This team is a bunch of spineless jellyfish.

ZERO hits from our defensemen tonight.

Bench shot of the Sabres shows a bunch of thousand yard stares. LOL already a penalty on the Sabres. What a ***** show.

I turn the game on with them up 3-1, seven minutes later they're losing.

The Sabres are a meme. Way to go, Kevyn.

And Simple Kev will just stand around at watch it burn. Part of the "process."

Only if you take them seriously. At this point it's just comedy.

Doesn't it always?

What a joke. ***** bums.

Well ferk They'll blow it. It's what they do. Back to football.

Missed the first half of the game and turn it on to this pleasant surprise. What are the chances they actually hold this lead? Probably not good, but how funny would it be to end a 9 game skid against the Laffs?

I expressed my doubts when he was hired. It felt like a nostalgia hire. But I held out hope that maybe a vet coach like Lindy could whip these kids into shape. It's quite clear now it was the wrong move. Not saying this is Lindy's fault by any stretch, but he obviously isn't getting through to these guys and I don't see how that changes at this point. It's too late to be early.

It's incomprehensible to me that mostly this same group of players (or at least same core) really looked like an emerging team late in the 2022/23 season. They looked crisp, confident, and were beating actual good teams down the stretch that season. Then last year they collapsed under the weight of expectations and have spiraled even further this season. Now they look completely lost and can't do anything right. This is the risk you take by pinning your hopes to a bunch of kids that are forced to develop together without any real veterans to learn from. There's talent/potential here, but Adams has totally bungled it by doing next to nothing the last two offseasons. Just keep running it back without any significant enhancements to the roster. Bravo.
