Ryan Johnson ended up with a little more than 12min in ice time last night. Really don't get why there not using him more regularly. They could really balance out there pairs if they did.

The following is satire, I think... 🤣😅

>>> According to Evolving-Hockey this is the first time the Sabres and Bills have won on the same day since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Girgensons was still a Sabre and Beethoven was the top artist on Spotify

>>> Granato has to start scratching the old guys. They aren’t rebuilding anymore. You have to ice your best lineup and EJ, Okposo, and Girgensons can’t be in every single game. You have the cap space to do a rotation if you want.

The theme of this season is 1,000 game ceremonies…so the prospects can learn from it….

Turns out it had nothing to do with Allen knocking up a waitress

Wait!
Allen was fvcking Kimmie and got her pregnant and gave her a stroke?
Impressive.

You would think they would start weaning them out, but there actually playing more. Kinda scary because if you are still trying to lean on them now and not try to bring the kids along. Kinda telling me they could be around past this year.

Anybody still want to extend Mitts, if so, what are the terms? The entire offense has disappeared.

Regression was expected but this is a free fall with no end in sight.

We have witnessed a front office and coaching staff murder the identity that was building with this group.

At least Skinner is still earning his pay

well if you want a semblance of good news, RJ played 12:13 of EV compared to Clifton and EJ's 8:13 and 8:37 respectively. RJ gets no ST time. Yet.

Johnson and Dahlin play pretty good together, yes it's a small sample size. But dropping Samuelsson down and letting Johnson play a regular shift with Dahlin could really help.

A lot of words to say this was a moronic high risk approach with minimum upside.

Also, if Adams believes this, the Sabres are f*cked:

“I want our players to be fearless and that’s how we’re going to run the organization, too,” Adams said in April. “Donny and myself, we are going to be fearless and we’re going to trust and believe in our players. When we think they’re ready and in spots to succeed we’re going to help them. For me looking at Devon, I see a special person, I see a special work ethic, a special talent”

I think I heard the announcers say his offense has the worst numbers in like 50 years or something. He is beyond awful.

Let's see how the Bills build on this. A lot more work to do.

Dorsey had the most non-sequitur playbook ever. It wasn’t complimentary and it wasn’t situational. It was “Okay I’ve played Madden, this should work.” Literally.

The offense controlled the ball. Dorsey ran his offense like the Sabres run their powerplay. No one wants the puck, no one wants to score, it’s like the puck is lava.

So last year I would have put us ahead of Ottawa, Detroit, Anaheim, Arizona from a progression standpoint. Not so much now. We’ve taken a big step backwards. If this trend continues, (don’t actually acquire any real talent and rely on undeveloped prospects) you can likely move us to the bottom with the sharks, habs, blue jackets

when dahlin doesn't personally fuel the powerplay, it is nothingness.

Our assistant coaches have failed at literally everything in their job descriptions. And our head coach is playing with half a god damn roster.

They are literally the worst guys on the ice every night. It makes me want to chock on my food watching Okposo on the PP. it’s a farking joke. The season is a wash. Time to get a look at some young guys. If meatballs is here next year, I’ll shat sideways.
Unfortunately, the terrible win last night prolongs the suffering. I’m sure he will attribute the win to the vets great play and leadership

They essentially are playing without Quinn, Cozens**, and Tage, while the coach who was praised as a prospect whisperer put this season in the hands of old vets. The only forward showing real growth is Peterka.

On Defense, Dahlin is becoming the man while the rest have flat lined.

Goaltending is embarrassing, UPL has handled it the best at this point.



**Cozens is currently floating in space in the Sombrero galaxy, we have sent a rescue team to retrieve him, timeline for return is undetermined

I would add Samuelsson and his 4million+ salary, Clifton… bad hire.

Yeah, he’s also had a rough year. Atleast with samuelsson. We know he can be better

Dorsey was using Dabolls playbook lol Josh Allen literally confirmed this in an interview in training camp

It’s not a huge fix either. Meatballs refusal to recognize that you need to put the right guys out there in the right spots to be successful is painful. Olofsson, for all of his flaws, is a good right boards PP1 guy. We need someone who can control the boards on the left. Mitts is fine, or Power on the point with Dahlin to control the zone.
PP1 should look something like this

Dahlin/ Power top
Mitts left
Olo right
Tuch In front

PP 2
Joker top
Left Benson
Right JJ
Skinner sweep
Greenway front

Victor Olofsson isn't even a people person.
