I don't think it's about being bitter...it's the same story year after year.
As an example..Girgensons is brought back ya never won with him don't you think it's time to move on from a player like that
Okposo, captain or not should not be re-signed after this year-TBD
3 kids are thrown to the wolves Power needed a steady defensive D-man to lean on and Adams did nothing to help the kid
Peterka and Quinn were put in a position to fail...they should have started as 3rd liners and worked their way up instead of being counted on as the primary secondary scorers
and I'm not saying they won't be NHL players but to much pressure was put on them from the start.
The team as a whole has forgot what defense is...to many missed assignments and teams are scoring from point blank range.
What you say is true...we have games in hand but you have to win them and not go on a 4 game losing streak after winning 5 in a row.
Bottom line is it leads back to Kevyn Adams not do his job...not one trade has he made as GM to improve this hockey team.
An entire team can't be made through the draft nor can it be made entirely through trades...there has to be some trade off in both directions.
He is so hung up on the draft do you really think that he doesn't see his team is now drafting in the 12th position that visions of an outside shot at Bedard isn't becoming realistic.
I know it takes 2 teams to make a trade but you can't wait till Mar 3rd when your team is at a breaking point like the Sabres are.
Well dude,
there’s A LOT here that’s just flat out wrong
For example:
Even though, even though Quinn & Peterka are technically on the 2nd line, they don’t play 2nd line minutes.
They’re actually 9th & 10th in average icetime for forwards on our team- so they, in fact, are NOT “counted on as the primary secondary scorers”
Mittelstadt AND Olofsson get more icetime than them
But your post here really demonstrates my overall point to a t
The Sabres have taken a HUGE STEP FORWARD this season
And instead of putting your focus on the GOOD THINGS that have been done & are happening,
you have a laundry list of complaints you’re focusing on-
MANY of which just aren’t correct
At one point, you are even complaining about us re-signing Okposo- which hasn’t even happened yet ffs
If you don’t see how this comes off as “bitter” then idk what to say
This season has NOT been the “same story year after year”
And if you can’t see that, then there’s nothing i can do or say to help you
Good luck pal
I hope your bitterness fades away & u can find some happiness in us moving in the right direction finally
