No, what is pathetic is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Not sure how you control that better than he did, low shot to far side, that rebound happens 9/10 times. Especialy with a Bedard shooting it. Samulesson needs to tie his man up instead of watching the frankin play.

low shot to the far side (off of goalie’s pad)
“best pass in hockey” - Denis Potvin

He pressed 1 for Spanish didn't he
- SABRES 89

Get him a shift with 21 and 28

James van Riemsdyk 12 points this year 1 mil
Nick Bjugstad 2.1 mil and one of the better face off men 10 points this year
Tomas Tatar 7 points this year 1.5 mil
Daniel Sprong 10 points this year 2 mil
Patrick Maroon 9 points this year 800k

I could go on

With all the Cap problems teams had this summer, it was the perfect offseason for Adams to shop. Guess Dollar General was having 75% off

You mean 75% added on?

It is the most pathetic offseason since Drury and briere left

Yes it has nothing to do with the set-up of the team and player's resigned or FA brought in.

Plays a part in it, but there is still a ton of talent in that dressing room.

Donnie Meatballs turning into Donnie Shrimp Richard is problem #1.

John Torterella has won 5 in a row with half the talent Donnie has at his disposal.

Vancouver went from an inevitable trade of Pettersson to a bonafide playoff team with Tocchet.

Nah it has nothing to do with a lack of forward depth the goalie carousel and bottom defense so bad dahlin plays 29 mins when they go 11/7

Id love it if torts was our coach. Sure would be great to have one if the best to ever do it

Would have been great if our GM supplemented all this talent with real depth in an offseason where he had plenty of opportunity at low or reasonable cost to do so

Not even counting trades that he doesn't cant won't or is afraid to make because something about development

What the (frank) is levi being the 3rd goalie here doing for his development?

Once again, all on Donnie.

Should never have gone 11/7.

And there is no reason why Benson and Ryan Johnson are hardly playing when they have arguably been the most effective players this last stretch.

No, the depth goalie carousel and pathetic bottom pairing defense is not on the coach

I dont void criticism for meatballs this is up and down the organization. Perhaps a different coach would get more consistent effort out of this group

As they say though, easier to fire the coach than it is to fire the roster, except adams had a great opportunity to get rid of a bunch of dead weight and add to the team this offseason and chose not to

A) E Johnson has dressed every game.

B) He’s willingly paired Clifton and E Johnson together despite brutal results.

C) The second Samuelsson came back he stopped playing R Johnson top 4 minutes and neutered him.

Should I keep going ?

Off-season plan- HOPE
Hope that 5 more players would have Career Years. Hope my Rookie goalie went all Beast mode. Instead of going out and trying to find success, Adams basically ran it back on Hope!

Yea keep going

Do you know the GM or owner isn't saying hey were paying 3+ million they must play?

Im not absolving blame on the coach. It is laughable to suggest that coaching is the only reason they won't make the playoffs

Will adams fire the coach in 10 games if nothing has changed? Or is it another decision he is unable to make

This roster was due some diligence since they lit up the last 6 weeks of 21-22

63 more to go to 1,000. Why do you think he signed here after Colorado told him to get lost?

Don't worry the solution is to bench ej and Clifton every other game and move Samuelsson to the 3rd pair

There aren't any issues on this roster the coach can't solve

Hard to blame us for hoping. I had much higher hopes and expectations, but I am not surprised. As soon as we signed Okposo right out of the gate, I knew this was not the year, but I thought our compete level would be much higher. It’s got to be tough on morale. You see these washed up bums ( I know they are loved) and how little they can offer. It’s got to wear on you.
