This is a very meta thread. Complaining about the complaint thread.

I'm 35. I've only heard the term used to describe a stereotype of younger, left-leaning women who dye their hair blue.

Think they'd want Ellis? No chance we're going to be able to trade UPL.

Raise the banner!

The funniest part is: who can question it? He took one hell of a hit at the end of the game.

I hate Dallas and Dallas traffic. There is zero chance I would go to the NYE game. We’d need to find a hotel because I won’t drive which means we’d need a babysitter. It’s a bummer.

Did Josh Norris play in any of those 12?

This is a better articulation of how I feel.

Does this feel different? Yes, because I’ve been burned too many times to believe in the Sabres anymore. Is this materially different? Not sure. I will be shocked if this team drops 5 in a row following the streak though, so using that as a metric, maybe?

Finally.

I don’t mean personality. I mean fluidity on the ice.

GMKA was cautious to the level of inaction and the excessive cautiousness meant executing any plan ended up dependent too much on other parties which often led to execution failures--to such an extent one can reasonably question whether a plan even existed in the first place. To your point, GMJK appears to have a plan and is calculated (as opposed to cautious) in the execution, but he pairs the calculated with decisive. I didn't expect FO chanages this quickly, much less openly discussing resolving the three-headed goalie monster as a priority. It's a really fun dichotomy that's apparent even after only one week of GMJK.

GMJK is the chef. He's just more involved on one line than the others, but he's still involved in everything and calling the shots. There's a difference between planning and execution. Honestly, the kitchen analogy makes sense if we don't call all three line cooks and treat them as equals.

If we are playing to generally accepted strengths, is the plan here that Jarmo drafts, Bergeron negotiates trades, and Flynn handles contract negotiations?

Hands, quick shot, passing.
