Meanwhile, Briben Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas are virtually escorting Illegal Alien invaders into the country with their sponsored flights from countries loaded with them right here into the USA, and their open boarder policy. Then they claim they don't have the power to fix the problems and blame Republicans.
Yet HR2 sits on Shumer's desk waiting to be taken up by the Senate... While today we will watch Shumer deep six the Impeachment Trial of said Mayorkas... All the while again blaming Republicans.

It he meantime, Briben Biden will not take Action via Executive Order because it will admit the Donald J Trump was right when he nearly eliminated the invasion. We simply can't have that, nope. Instead let's watch more horrific events unfold as a direct result of their incompetence.

Joe is a freaking joke .. how anybody could consider "running it back for four more years" by re-electing him is ludicrous.

Gallant's consistently short shelf life everywhere he goes is a red flag for me.
- buffalofan19


Average tenure is 2.5 years for an NHL coach.

Galllant's last two stints were both 4 seasons each, where he made the stanley cup finals and conference finals multiple times.

He won't do that. Adams is typically quite honest.

I'll eat my shoe if he hires a guy like Appert, Peca et al

- TheSabresTaco

Really, I have heard the same Bullsh!t out of his mouth for 5 years. And most of the time it has turned into we had Conversations that just didn't work out. Being Honest is One thing, actually doing it is another. I hope he proves me wrong, it would be another growth step for him. But I will wait and see if it just not the same Merry Go Round we have been on for a decade.

Adams assured us this group can handle pressure and are craving accountability though....

I'm liking Fallout so far as well.

The way Ella Purnell stares at me is keeping me fixated.

- QuinnFan

The Fallout show is fantastic, I am in disbelief at how good it is. Better than the games in a lot of ways.

Berube - couldn't gain any consistency with the Blues after the Cinderella run for half a season.

Ruff - couldn't get the skill heavy roster in NJ to balance out their play

Gallant - success every where he goes then something happens behind the scenes and he gets the boot.

Boudreau - a fatter version of Donny

If the accepted approach now is coaches need to come in waves to improve this team every few years, Gallant is the guy out of that list.

- washedup20


All experienced coaches have been fired before. Sure you have a Rod the Bod here or there, but they all have warts. I want the guy that works best for what this roster needs.

Gallant has a problem trusting young players. But considering that's the core base of this roster, I'm not sure how he (frank)s that up, unless he tanks Benson and Power.

Getting poop canned after being quite successful with admittedly strong teams is definitely concerning.

Think my list would be Rod far and away 1st, Berube, Ruff, Sullivan (maybe), Gallant, McLellan, BBQ

Valid, Adams did attempt to squash the young narrative yesterday though...the players are experienced now:

Been trying to tell y’all since January that Detroit wasn’t making the dance.

Took a lot of crap for it too.

91 point season and missed by 1 game.

You should be celebrating them

I'm not telling you he always gets what he wants. I'm not even telling you he's good at his job. That's subjective anyway. What I am telling you is, when he tells you something, he does it, or at the very least attempts it when it comes to player acquisition.

There's 32 coaching positions in the NHL and there are guys clawing over each other to get them.

I think if it's 2014, you have little interest because you're brought in to specifically fail. This team has a ton of talent that's been poorly structured. I would think a lot of NHL level coaches would be highly interested in this roster.

He will find an experienced coach. I can guarantee you that. Beyond that, all we can do is hope it works.

Yes, Gallant has good relationships with cab drivers though...which could boost tickets sales

In all seriousness I am glad he squashed that narrative, because it was getting to be really (frank)ing annoying.

I do love that they pulled in a bunch of Fallout 4 songs to it. I'm hoping to hear The Wanderer shortly.

Ya know, Paul Maurice was Señor Average in WPG, Jim Montgomery was a recovering alcoholic and Bruce Cassidy was a total Richard. These guys get a different roster, have different oversight from their GMs and their teams become extremely good.

I find that interesting. And a lesson in change of scenery can do wonders.

Detroit were this year’s Buffalo from last year

Literally no one here was selling Detroit as a playoff team yet here he is again, patting himself on the back.

I bet he turns to marvel at his own poop in toilet when he’s done, he probably has daily photos of his own poop saved in a special folder on his phone called “things I have accomplished”.

Two things that bothered me from yesterday.

The Terry Pegula has a lot going on thing is (frank)ing bullpoop. Yes, I know your wife is long term recovering. I get that. But it's a (frank)ing farce that your owner can't speak to the fanbase in 4 entire years. (frank) off, Kev.

Second thing is, "The standard wasn't good enough since Day 1 of training camp". That tells me you knew it was garbage all year and did nothing about it before it was too late. There's no excuse for that.

It's a fact, and one likely to remain if Adams doesn't adjust course.

When you constantly move the goalposts, you're never wrong about anything.
