This is more of a crazy coincidence than a sign of his importance.

We’ve all watched him struggle like crazy most of the year

Funny that coincidence has struggled but still doesn't take away the 5-14-2 record without him.

Can't say it would have made them a playoff team, but there were Dman available that might have helped us more throughout the year than some of the crap we Rolled out. Do I know if Bear Timmins Reilly would have helped or made us better. Don't know but I would have tried atleast.

One thing I really wanted them to add was a defenseman. I don't think that defenseman prevents us from being blown out of the (frank)ing water twice.

He also doesn't prevent UPL FROM SUCKING poop

This offseason matters a lot. They need to prepare like they want and think they can be a big boy.

Our record in the goat head jersey is night and day to wearing the regular home jersey.

Do you think that actually matters or is just a coincidence?

Granato was on WGR and they asked him about the record w/wo Sammy and even he downplayed that it’s all due to him

Well I mean the draft still matters and we both know if this draft busts that the both of us will be critical at a minimum.

I also understand the fatigue of caring more about the draft than the playoffs. So I get that.

I'm thankful meaningful games were played in March.

I demand a playoff spot next season.

- TheSabresTaco


This.
We can all be happy with the progression of many, many players on the roster, yet be dissatisfied with the lack of meaningful moves at the TDL to help the team both now and into the future.
I can be disappointed with the degree of the collapse since the end of the AS Break, yet be excited about the future as well

However, the happiness/satisfaction side is bolstered by a belief that several moves MUST be made during the offseason to plug glaring holes in the roster without "blocking" the potential of Prospects to seize a roster spot in the future.

Since when is it written in stone that an acquired player (UFA /Trade) must complete his/her contract as a Sabre. Trading out a Vet later on because a Prospect has earned the spot is a good thing...no need to hold holes on the roster open until 3 years down the road.

I guess we disagree. I appreciate you, I just could see a younger dumber version of myself doing something dumb like that with no more malice than to just one up my friend and no further thought into it than that.

Why not, still solid for 30 or 40 games.

I like the idea of Acciari and Compher. Wood has been uninspiring past few years.

Nobody's "defending" what he did, just questioning whether it merits criminal charges. I still don't see this as anything more than a tactic to add on a few more dollars to the inevitable civil suit later.

Honestly, what is, or what did you want, Adams to do to make this team perform like the current playoff teams? In season.

Sure we wouldnt have a draft pick or prospect, but we would still be playing meaningful games.

Josh kinda defended himself.

Yep, cause I said we need to trade for everyone of these players all together. No matter maybe 1 or 2 could have helped. But Hey let's keep rolling out crap in Bryson, Fitzgerald, Clague or Olofsson Hino Girgensons. Keep those Vibes Flowing Boss!!

he's 23 though, not 15


mature 23 year olds either have a degree by then, serve our country, raising a family, or busting their hump working 60 plus hours a week


this guy is acting like creepy guy in his mid 20's that show up uninvited at high school keggers
