Well I was saying for awhile he was gonna and then some stupid people got in his Head! We are very Lucky, cause Adams almost lost him at the End.

They would effectively have 2 NHL caliber defensemen on the team right now without him.

Pretty much, think there about to get Lucky again with Novikov and that kid you mentioned Komarov has been very surprising.

Same Sh!t Different Year

It’s amazing how you try these mic drop lines when you prove my point for me

The Sabres go up 1-0 on an EV goal from Skinner

Then the teams trade ST goals.

Take those ST goals out and it’s still a 1 goal lead by the Sabres and Vegas ties it 1-1 and the Sabres still win by multiple goals

You love to pick and choose what ST goals matter

I’m still trying to figure out how a team that ranks 12th in Goals% at 5v5 almost identical to Toronto’s and is behind them by 16 points in the standings and it isn’t the fault of the PP that ranks 29th in Goals%.

The mental gymnastics to try to say special teams isn’t the reason this team isn’t in a wild card spot right now is hilarious

The Sabres have the exact same amount of regulation wins through 61 games this year then they did at this point last year.

2022/2023 Sabres had 68 points through 61 games.

2023/2024 Sabres currently have 62 points through 61 games.

Sabres are a better team at even strength this year than they were last year.

*Looks at special teams*

It’s one of the reasons. Not the only one or even the primary one imo.

They spent half the season thinking way too much about defense

Saying it was just the PP is absolute lunacy based on what we watched this year

There goaltending was weak in the beginning of the Year. And are PK was good the first month of the Season and then poop the bed for a couple months. Funny almost coincided with UPL playing better. The PP Sucked but so did the 5vs5 offense the first 2 1/2 months. There PP sucks but they have had plenty of 5vs5 opportunities they didn't cash that could have evened out a bit of the PP bad numbers. It all goes hand in hand.
Goes back to them not taking There Offseason and TC Seriously enough. Especially with them implementing a More Defensive system

* looks at the fact that this team spent 3 months before giving UPL the bulk of the workload

* looks at the fact that Tage, Skinner, Tuch, Cozens all weren’t themselves a lot of the year

What to Do ? He might never be worth more than he is know. But he's also been Buffalo's best and consistent Player over the last 15 months.

I mentioned this back before Christmas. The shat still needs to get blown up but little win streaks don’t help this.
Our GM will be back
Our coach will be back
I’d be shocked if GMKA didn’t offer a 1 year to either Okposo or Girgensons for “leadership”
Only E Johnson will get moved at the deadline
GMKA will discover again that no one on the UFA market wants to play here unless they are washed up and overpaid
GMKA will not pull of any trades that make this team better
He will over pay Mitts as a result
We will have pretty much the same lineup next year, maybe one of the AHL guys on the 4th line
We will be an 80 point team again

+12 goal differential.


Special Teams:

PP: 29th in Goals%

2022/2023 Full season:

Like I said, the PP is (frank)ing this team.

Jesus Christ

So, in a game where Okposo, Girgensons both score, Robinson has 2 assists…

Can we please stop pretending Krebs doesn’t suck.

7-0 winning record when zem Girgensons scores this season

He's frustrated, obviously this season has broken him a bit. He was singing a different tune this past off-season. Longer this goes the more fans they break.

We’re 5-1 in the last six games, but still complaining?

Quick call the manager for help!

>>> You’re also learning about this team every day and you’re probably not in the position to be wanting to trade guys for picks at this point. So as you approach another deadline, what do you think this team needs the most on the ice?

>>> The other part that’s worth mentioning is I definitely had conversations with teams about players that were highly publicized that could be traded or will be traded. Some of those guys had trade protection or were getting the opportunity to pick and choose where they were going to go and they didn’t want to come here. That is the reality when you’re a .500 team from where we are right now.

Better to not mention the above at all Kevyn.

>>> I understand the question because I’m sure a lot of people say, especially when Dahlin plays so well with Samuelsson, find someone for Owen.

The above is not true, and the numbers back that up.

>>> For me, if there’s the right mix, we definitely want our bottom six especially to have an identity, whether it’s competitiveness, speed, killing penalties, a hard, direct approach, physical.

Sure doesn't seem like they planned for their bottom 6 to have an identity.
- kingcong39

Lol you'd have to be a fool to believe this guy will make the right/any decisions that will take this team to the next level

If Tanev actually had the opportunity to say no, adams plan was to trade for and extend(surely overpay) a 34 year old dman

Contradictory to every other player he's ever described to be after in these conversations

Yes, there doing there usual race to the 13th pick. Nice to see them finally playing somewhat well. UPL has been are MVP. And sure we are all upset know, a lot of posters here gave a few a lot of Sh!t for saying stuff that has basically come true. This is a place to talk about good and bad with the Team. With the way it's been you cannot expect to come here and see all Peaches and Cream about this Team, people are gonna vent and the Sabres Organization deserves it. They have brought it on THEMSELVES. I really like some of this Team, there's a lot of Talent, be it Young and inexperienced. It's time for Adams to help them and the sh!t he has brought in hasn't. He needs to grow as much as the Team.

Playing good hockey after they've been effectively eliminated is frustrating. 5-1 has done almost nothing to improve their chances.

The hockey has been more fun, but it's hard to forget the rest of the season.

UPL best goalie in the league from since Jan 1st.

Who is eating crow? How many people wanted to trade him for a bag a pucks last year?

It doesn't make it any better. If anything it adds to the aggravation

The coach sucks, in the offseason the GM gave the coach players who suck when he had a major opportunity to change the makeup of the bottom half of our forward and defense group. The GM again sat on his hands this season when it was obvious there was a major problem here

Everyone should be fearing another offseason of inaction if they continue this pace for the rest of the season
