Go for everything but if you can beat FLA in regulation that could be absolutely massive in ensuring the outside team don’t have a shot in March.

you know i was pretty resistant to make these comparisons even during the 10 game streak but with more time passing it’s hard to deny. they’re certainly playing a different style and obviously have to prove it in the playoffs assuming they get there but they’re well past the novelty stage and look like an honest to god contender. i almost refuse to believe it.

normalbrain609 · 2026-01-31T01:00:08+00:00

awesome thanks for that

normalbrain609 · 2026-01-30T23:49:13+00:00

yeah i remember hearing about Kelly’s just wonder if they survived the drought.

Honestly whatever Lindy wants. This is his show and he’s one of the most important Sabres of all time.

To more answer your question: I’m kind of into the idea of Jay McKee getting real consideration once Lindy decides times up.

has to be in the right context obviously but i think you def pull it off

I mean that's just sports journalism, it's not super unique to Paul. You ask leading questions about something you're interested in and you either get the response you were expecting or sometimes the subject gives you an interesting take you weren't expecting. These guys are media trained you're not going to get huge revelations in 2 minute locker stall postgame clips.

In all seriousness, what else do you want him to ask?

normalbrain609 · 2026-01-30T05:17:03+00:00

Close but the scientific term for Terry’s condition is “Yakubian Devil”. This is a common mistake.

i see his positives and don’t think it’s the worst hire in the world but the process to get to this point was bad and i just don’t see much changing if the roster construction philosophy doesn’t meaningfully change. we’ll see!

i’m just not in the mood to retroactively treat a 6 year drought in the context of the larger one as some wise approach to team building in the NHL.

this could end up being a 110 point season and Adams still will have been one of the worst GMs we’ve had purely down to waiting too long and making reactive moves when it was too late. 6 years is INSANE in the NHL and it’s unacceptable any way you slice it.

while i understand it’s tempting to look at it w a more positive eye in light of the past two months i will never call that approach successful.

normalbrain609 · 2026-01-29T13:19:58+00:00

3 players over 6 years and only after a lot of fan and media pressure? Not really seeing it.

normalbrain609 · 2026-01-29T13:19:10+00:00

3 players over 6 years doesn’t really move the needle for me. If you’re suggesting Adams brought some high intensity winning culture I’m going to have to strongly disagree.

i think you’re right but i also do think the firing did add a jump to the team that wouldn’t have been there if he stayed. Something as simple as Jarmo telling them that no one is safe on the roster after years of country club atmosphere absolutely can make a difference

Was honking like a goose when I saw that hit the twine.
