Was gona say.

The resigning of Okposo and Girgensons
Signing of Clifton and E Johnson as help
Not getting any goalie help.

That had zero effect on how “screwed” this season was.

But at least Adams and Granto much like the idiot on the Bills sidelines has an excuse now.

Still 80% of a season to play.

I’m not disagreeing at all there aren’t signs of concerns, I’m not standing in line to jump off the peace bridge either though.

I watched the Blues win a cup after a 7-9-3 start.

Watched the Oilers go to the semi finals of last years playoffs after starting 3-7 and firing their coach.

It’s a long season

That blues team made some major roster additions including one that won the conn Smythe

As you said the oilers fired their coach

Do you see either of those happening here?

Tank commander retired at the commencement of the 2020/2021 season, hence the retirement of the old user name.

Last offseason I said they’d play meaningful games down the stretch and that they’d set themselves up to go for it this year. Last time I checked they did, nor did I waiver from that even when they lost 8 straight and were presumably cooked in January, February, and March.

This year was always the year to go for it and we are one point out with 66 games to go.

Blues also had a rookie goalie come out of nowhere to play at a hall of fame level

No big deal though just minor differences for a comparison

Except they didn't set themselves up to go for it.

Already have significant injuries, regression in scoring and absolutely nothing from the bottom 6 forwards or bottom pair dmen

Was a given when going from playing glorified pond hockey to a legitimate system that actually asked your players to defend worth half a $hit.

With that being said, the coaching staff doesn’t have an excuse to have a PP this bad and continue to make suboptimal lineup decisions.

Even with the warts the lineup has, there is too much talent on the roster to underperform to date.

I'm not saying it'll last but the God awful Ducks from last year are 9-6, why is it so impossible here. I wonder if the Sharks will make the playoffs before the Sabres

Right, anyone with a brain seen the regression in scoring coming regardless of trying to play somewhat responsibly. The GM made zero improvement to the roster on top of it

I do agree that coaching has been suspect at best, but again he was given no help from the GM. PP struggles are inexcusable and only look to get worse with tage out

The goaltending is still up for debate, it's been better this year

This just keeps getting better and better. Well maybe this will force Adams to do something, highly doubt it.
