We are 2 years from the lowest point in our history. We've made HUGE point jumps 2 years in a row while playing rookies and 1st year players. All while having mediocre goaltending and playing in a stacked division. And somehow all of this isn't impressive at all, and it is the Okposo's fault because he doesn't say the right words to them.

The bolded are choices by the organization
They could have actually made the playoffs quite easily this year with a competent offseason last summer
They failed to do that of course |

Locked in Brock! ✍️
We've signed defenseman Brock Faber to a three-year, entry level contract.

Yep, not to burst some people’s negative bubble but after yesterdays win they are at .500 counting OT losses as losses |

The teams that are ahead of us are better than us, today. Many won't be next year. - Slump Buster
The bold is an interesting exercise for looking ahead to next season.
Among Boston, Tampa, Toronto, Carolina, Rangers, Devils, Panthers, Islanders, and Penguins, who is the most likely to go down a notch?
I'd normally say Boston and the Penguins based on age, but Boston is seemingly good every damn year.
Maybe Pittsburgh with their roster?
Some might say the Panthers, but they have a super aggressive GM and an improved cap situation.
I don't see many, at least when initially looking. |

You’re way too generous on the goaltending comment and forgot to mention our revolving door cast of C level AHL defensemen in the cast all season.
You make a very valid point. We are still in the hunt in mid April and too many are biatching. No one has us pegged for 90 points and a potential wild card spot this year.
Enjoy the progress. We are so close to being the team no one wants to face, regular season or playoffs |

Yeah I wouldn't just count on that, Adams still needs to tweak his lineup to keep growing as a team and organization. |

So this is going to be the narrative every major now, huh? Tiger struggles to make the cut...and then withdraw for injury. It's like a remake of Old Yeller. |

Lance LLysowski just posted a article on Ryan Johnson, unfortunately for some reason I can't even pull it up to read it. So don't know if he has anything in there!! Just giving a heads up |

The Leafs should have something to play for right now. Inexcusable. (frank) you NHL. Go back to Conference playoff format. Do your job. |

So we won several games against teams that are better than us, but didn't win all of the games. By golly, you got me. The 15 point jump this year and being entertaining as hell wasn't enough. Lets wrap ourselves around the sadness of the incompetency of previous management and terrible players.
Didn't you just enjoy the hell out of this season? Isn't this team a ton of fun? And can't it just be that every team that is ahead of them is better than they are right now? There was no great failure here. They weren't expected to make the playoffs and it isn't a surprise to anyone that they just missed. It was a hell of a year. - Slump Buster
You are quite marvel at putting words in people's mouths and running on and on and on, lol.
Go on, you need to vent...what's next? What is eating away at you?
I'm hear for ya buddy! |

Didn’t Sabres clinch playoffs in CBus? Gerbe with ridiculous Spinorama backhand goal. Last year they were in maybe? Was thinking about the Flyers Easter playoff game too. Iirc Sabres on the PP at end of 3rd and Richards cross checked TimCo in the head. TimCo concussed and no penalty for Richards. |

I like Garland and Mayfield.
Olofsson+ for Garland. The plus is to get Vancouver to retain. I think he fits the 3rd line well and if you could get Vancouver to retain he would be worth it. |

The female dogging about female dogging takes are the worst. There might be a day where that might be a reasonable point to make. It certainly isn’t on the cusp of an NHL record 12th season of not making the playoffs. Especially when they were so close that even a little real help probably would have gotten them there. |

You’re quite negative today 19 - it’s not like you?? No way Tiger was playing 27 holes with his leg especially when the last 3 holes he played he was 5 over |

Would love to get a top 4 defender under 25-26 years old for 13OA and I think we could get a pretty damn good one even if we had to add but I don't see it happening from Adams perspective. Not his style.
If the window is opening next year or two then this pick isn't gonna help with that. |

It’s gona be super weird not having to play next regular season and just make the playoffs.
Sabres are only team that is gona get better. Everyone else will get worse.
Prob win the cup in 2.5 games before everyone else forfeits. |

One 40+ goal scorer, three 30+ goal scorers
One 70+ Norris caliber D man, another stud 24+ minute a night D man.

We’re going to end up one or two points out of the playoffs and some want you to not notice that huge failure on top of the eleven previous years of failure. You’re not allowed to notice, or comment on that. |

Goaltending is a very important position and until 9 days ago our goalies sucked moose b*lls. That problem may have been solved, let’s hope |

Or the failure of not getting one more Defenseman that could actually help. Think if Adams would have acted on his D injuries earlier it could have meant a few extra wins. IMO |
