Jarmo: A lot easier to tame a tiger than paint stripes on a pussycat

Actually, as long as you have an adequate supply of duct tape, it is WAAAAAY easier to paint stripes on a pussycat.  😉

Adams: “Here Jarmo here is a bucket of black paint. Go start painting stripes on Power. This is the Sabres way”😁

[CTJoe]

they show you what you want, but a good video. Interesting that Utah didn't want to give up Doan.  I loved his father, maybe he'll be a pleasant surprise?

[PerreaultForever]

Amusing how little of that was on free agency.

I admit I did laugh however when Adams got the phone call from Quinn and asked him if he was in the weight room.

Is it though?  I think taming a 400 lb wild animal with claws and teeth that will kill you, is way more difficult than painting a stupid house cat.

I don’t know how anyone can still drum up enough curiosity to watch these.

Then again, I don’t know how anyone can drum up enough curiosity to watch any media the team puts out.

I really hope Bedkowski makes it. If you watch that video, you’re really going to like the kid.

Yeah he looks like exactly what this teams needs and has needed for two decades.  The org should be littered with mid to late round picks that play with snarl but they adopted this home run strategy where they just keep taking obscure skill guys up and down every draft.  The last two drafts look better but we are living with the results of avoiding any players that play a rugged type of game.

I’m still waiting for the 13 game losing streak edition. I’ll even buy a ticket for a game if it’s thrown in.

Yes….looking down the road a few years, a right defense group that includes Mrtka, Bedkowski and I’ll add Kleber from last year’s draft looks solid and difficult to play against.  I am not overlooking Kesselring either, who I hope will bring some snarl that we need right now.

It should be called Sabres Impacted, as in impacted bowel movement.

The “Before the Answer is in this Room speech” edition would be train wreck level entertainment.

Who's the guy who sounds vaguely annoyed with Jerry Forton?

Is that Ventura? ("As I've been telling you, Jerry ... .")

Also, I can't watch stuff like this. The fact that the Sabres have Forton cosplaying as an NHL team's chief scout (that's how he comes off anyway) is too much to abide.

[LGR4GM]

My favorite part to this point is Terry trying to adjust his chair when Jarmo stands up to talk and being unable to.

Yea and just before that is Karmanos. My guess is they cut off something to do with analytics and the player. Forton IMPO doesn't do a good job of considering the numbers, more of a feels guy.

That’s the sense I get too.  Forton comes off as fake and just trying to sound important. I’m annoyed by him. 

[LGR4GM]

I don't like Forton but... some of what this reveals about Mrtka is truly interesting stuff. A lot of the Canadian and US kids are getting skating and skills coaches right from the get go. By jr A and certainly by Jrs you are working with those types of ppl. I do find it interesting that Mrtka didn't have that. With his June bday and finally getting that stuff once he got to Seattle, well, my curiosity is much more piqued 

I like that Jarmo and Karmanos are sitting next to eachother.

I spell bad

[Carmel Corn]

So no Eric Staal in the room….or did I miss seeing him?  I guess he wasn’t important enough to be there or that he himself didn’t want to attend?

[LGR4GM]

Ventura liking Bedkowski's profile is really interesting to me. He must have some defensive tracking analytics that are telling more than what we see. EP tracked him for 7 games and he ends up with elite defensive numbers.

I say it occasionally, but it bears repeating: Insight like this is why I come here to understand what's going on with the Sabres.

Also, your interest is piqued, not peaked.

there was a conflict with a fishing vacation is my guess.
