Love how Kane has a “broken hip” but Okposo’s broken head doesn’t get mentioned at all, on top of that I sh¡t faster than Okposo skates and modern hip surgery is somehow like jumping on a grenade.

What nonsense.

Don't think it's the technology, it's more his Age, and how long has this been affecting him.

A couple of those guys were replaceable this year.

it's just 1 year deals


another wasted year of tage, skinner, tuch, dahlin, power, cozens


unless levi is the next ken dryden

skinner-tage-tuch
casey-cozens-olofsson
peterka-krebs-greenway
overpaid-overpaid-slow and overpaid

if levi is off at training camp, there could be zero rookies in the lineup opening night

Aka a development season, right?

How can we know for sure? Most goalies have multiple hip surgeries and the only two players I can think of recently who didn’t recover were Price and Backstrom.

So instead of some insight opinion or theory, we get

A shot at an OG poster, babbling on about different arena names, all star games from 40 years ago and references to lake erie on a windy day. Wtf is this garbage

Maybe its just a 1 year contract and it will be fine. Oof

If that OG poster didn’t actively spew misogyny and racism, maybe there wouldn’t be a shot thrown? Just a thought.

Not really the time to be attacking the blogger anyway but thanks for your quarterly comment.

Well WE wouldn't, but I would think the Doctors report after Surgery will say how much Degeneration was done. Sure he has to have so sort of Arthritis in it, how bad is it.

No offense, but I trust Adams over you.

I think he's doing a great job.

He actually knows what okposo means to the team and teammates. You have no idea as a bystander.

The one that gives the team the higher chance of making the playoffs...so Kane.
- QuinnFan

They both okay 2 completely different roles. Kane is a 4th line grinder now?

Hip surgery for an NHL hockey player is not good

Backstrum on the capitals almost retired due to the surgery. Came back and looked bad.

Anything within the hips on a hockey player is bad news

Exactly what I have been trying to say.

Homie is also crying wolf.

Jeeze. It will be okay!

Well, I'm not ranting on Adam's just yet, since there is still time to change the roster and the fact the trade market is at a full stop.

However, if this what we end up with walking into the new season, then I'll be pretty vocal about the wasting of another season.
They need to get into the Playoffs, period...IMO of course.

Yeah, he cries wolf and trolls basically all day long.

I trusted the process with the Bill's and I'm buying the vibes with the Sabres

Good post

Could wait until the season goes good or bad .....

this is our year
- homiedclown

Playing devil's advocate, was there anything Adams could have done to win a SC this year?

I didn't think we had that type of roster. Unless this was just our year to end the drought.

Yes, I would take Patrick Kane as a 4th liner over Kyle Okposo. Easy swap, an NHLer for a non NHLer. Or better yet, put Krebs or Greenway on the 4th line and upgrade your lineup.

Relying on significant internal growth to improve the team into PO position vis a vis walking virtually everyone back and then relying heavily on a rookie Goalie...that is all high risk to me.
I still think they have very much the same holes as last year...with the upgrades at 3rd pairing /5th Dman position.

We'll see but I look at a) slight/moderate regression in points and b) PO WC at even money

I'm with you Unlce Ion.

I'm trusting levi in net. I'm trusting the management group in their belief of levi.

Gotta play the goalie phenom, good or bad ......

The interal growth should nip the last playoff spot. IMO

Maybe I'm higher on both Clifton and Johnson, but I like upgrading the defense with some shot blockers....
