I wonder what we can expect if we had a real defensive system this fall
- homiedclown

I'm excited. I hope Adams doesn't ruin that excitement.

I would still like them to get another D man, a true 3C, another top 6 F, and some thickness, energy and girth 😉 in the bottom 6.

I don't know if he has it in him to acquire all that.

We've been long conditioned to expect the bare minimum.

They need to go well beyond that.

I'm keeping expectations low while hoping for the best.

You are never around when they play badly or things go to hell with the team.

I bet you don't like people asking constant questions of you at work, do you?

That's what management wants: No questions, just do what we say.

I manage myself, thanks for asking

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — The Old Pink, a popular bar on Allen Street in Buffalo, was destroyed in a fire early Monday morning.

The fire was first reported around 5:45 a.m. Monday with flames and heavy smoke coming from the bar. The fire was mostly put out by 7 a.m. as flames were no longer coming from the building. Officials confirmed that the building cannot be saved and was too far gone by the time crews arrived and an emergency demolition was ordered. Damages were estimated at $1.25 million.

Officials said that there is one area of the building that they are concentrating on for the cause, but it is still under investigation. When fire crews arrived there were workers who were leaving, but nobody was inside of the building.

Allen Street between College Street and Mariner Street is currently closed as crews investigate the blaze. Additional closures include Elmwood Avenue between Virginia Street and North Street and Wadsworth Street between Allen and St. Johns Place.

According to the bar’s Instagram page, it was established in 1990. The bar became beloved in the Allentown neighborhood and across Buffalo, known for its steak and bologna sandwiches as well as its music.

One question-

Did they serve steak sandwiches AND bologna sandwiches?

Or steak and bologna on the same bun? Sounds so gross.

And was this psycho mikes establishmebnt?

I never heard of someone getting a steak and bologna sandwich there. Pretty sure they were kept separate. I spent a good amount of time there in my 20s and I gotta say - that steak sandwich was a lil overrated. It was just a whole steak on a roll and it was tough to bite through. The lloyds truck, the grilled cheese place (which became a poutine place) and Jim's were all superior end-of-night food options on Allen imo

Pink burning down is the best thing to happen to Buffalo since Bird House burned down

Q: Is there any truth to the speculation that Girgensons already has decided that he’d prefer to test the market when unrestricted free agency begins July 1?

Adams: He hasn’t made a decision that I know of. I spoke to his agent on Friday to let them know that we have a lot of respect for him and what he’s done in his career. When you talk about guys who compete and bring consistent effort every night and you’re looking to fill that out with physicality in the bottom of your lineup, he checks a lot of boxes. For me, if Zemgus were an unrestricted free agent on another team, he’d be the type of guy you’d want to acquire. I understand where guys are at in their career. Ultimately, it’s his decision, so we’ll see how it shakes out.

So there you have it. They will bring Zemgus back unless he wants to leave.

Q: What are a few of your priorities this offseason, whether it be on the trade market or through unrestricted free agency?

A: Obviously, it's getting UPL signed. I think depth on D is critical. I really like where our D corps is at but making sure we have really good (depth). You're going to have different injuries during the year. You're going to have call-ups, so make sure the depth side of our D is squared away. And when I look at our forward group, I get excited because I think we have a core of guys that are at good ages. Now they've got some experience. I believe that the way we want to play next year is going to be fast, get out of our zone, attack, more physicality where we can. So, I think you look at it and you'd say, definitely the bottom six of our lineup would be important to focus on. Having some guys that have a little bit of an identity, veteran, hard-to-play-against type of guys. And that could be our own. That can be (Zemgus) Girgensons or that can be guys on the outside. We're spending a lot of time looking at (center) when you make a trade. As excited as you are about acquiring Bo, you lose a player like (Casey Mittelstadt), so how do you fill those positions? I really feel good about our group overall, but it's just fine-tuning it.

So his to-do list in his own words: Sign UPL and the "obviously incredible" Zemgus, sign a depth defenseman and acquire a 3C before heading to the lake.

Set your expectations accordingly or spend the summer saying "it's still early"

Is Boss> Adams

Does Kevyn Adams have a Girgensons Bobblehead Collection ? Like he's giving up a Kidney if he let's him go.

I’m saying Adams is still looking for a goalie. He’s not sold on UPL.

Bro

Lance's piece covers a lot of the Byram, 3C and bottom 6 we talked about today.

Also, they're trading joker
