I don't doubt the good things 13, I just believe I've shown great patience after 53 years, I'd like a cup. A Lombardi trophy from the Bills. 53 years I figure attributes to some leeway on this.

I'm with you on that.  I'm 49 and have 17 and 18 year old sons that are joining in their dads sports misery.

Get Greenway back next game.  Give UPL Monday's game and Levi the one on Wednesday.  Worry about the 4th game after that.

Hopefully Samuelsson doesn't miss much time; but this injury could be a blessing in disguise if he's currently playing injured and missing some time gets him closer to 100%.

Don't want to overplay E Johnson, but really believe they need to pair him up with Power to get Power to play a simpler game.  Power could've cleared the rebound on the 1st Levi goal, but didn't react as quickly as the Devil did.  Put Jokiharju with Dahlin while using that other pairing and if Samuelsson can play make him the 5 and rotate R Johnson and Clifton.  

Steal a game against the Rags and then win in St. Louie.

Best moments by far of following (the heart of the reason I watch) is watching the 06 and 07 runs when I was near that age W/my Dad

I think it’s true.  The GM just won’t make moves.   
 

He also screwed the goalie position.  Again. 

I think there's a difference between won't and can't.  Can't meaning,  I don't think there's worthwhile moves for the cost.  I agree, more could have been done to address goaltending.  That's a risk reward thing too, so....

The offseason was objectively bare bones from Adams

Oh I bet Thorny.  I have to tell mine about it as they were born in 04 and 06.  They just missed it.  

They're optimistic about where we're at even though the terrible games this year, are a special kind of terrible.  They update me on where we are in the standings throughout the week.  They'll watch other games and say we need the Islanders to lose here.  Haha

Greenway is out for the Rangers per pregame reports.

Quinn.  His loss can't be overstated 

KA's belief that his spot could be filled internally is the biggest reason they are where they are 

he should have found a true top 6 winger to fill his spot 

 I actually  think this is way overstated. That line was Jekyll and Hyde last year. JJP came back an animal and Cozens has been no better than “middle 6” on his best day this year, and bottom 6 on his worst.

Cozens -> JJP is the spectrum for that line in 2023-24. I have no idea why anybody would have any expectations for Quinn this year coming off of an achilles. That’s crazy. 

If missing Quinn based on 22-23 after rupturing his achilles totally details this team we don’t have much of a team at all.
