We Can Do Better!

I don't have sympathy for "our" players who seem to have loser fluid running through their veins. My sympathy is for the fans. We've been connected to a loser much longer than any of these so-called players. What have we done to deserve this? Are we bad people?

How many of you are ready for camp? A lot of us have been critiquing Casey Mittelstadt's conditioning. With training camp approaching it's time to take a look in the mirror and evaluate our own state of readiness. Some of you still can't spell Krueger. Many of you can't even do ONE Jokiharju. You think you're getting away with it by using easy to spell nicknames for players. Once upon a time the Sabres discovered an unknown prospect whose talent was believed to rival Wayne Gretzky. When he saw the fans butchering his name and giving him the nickname Tootsie Roll he refused to come here. His name was Taro Tsujimoto.

I've put a lot of work in this offseason- the coaching change necessitates it. Gone are the vacuous stares, the gum jokes, the mismatched lines. Not sure what to expect so you gotta be ready for anything- been working on the vocal chords with "WTF SOBOTKA" because I figure that's a pretty safe bet, and I use Sheary and Risto for my ripping practice- "short lightweight can't defend against a cold, little Crosby leechin sucker, play some goddamn D." "Big dumb Rocky villain lookin doof can't find his man in front of the net with a map, detailed directions, and an hour head start- dude's outlets are as useful as my home's when the power goes out." I figure it's good to cover the basics, then get to the more advanced stuff as the season progresses. Scandella, for instance- his play will require some nuanced training, I need to see what he brings before my own response can be in peak form. Besides that it's remote throws, beer slams, pacing- I'm ready. Are you?

I did pull-ups for the last ~12 months, almost every day.
I stopped doing it a couple weeks ago. I guess it's Karma, and Casey took over my job to keep the universe in balance.
The only NHL player to ever give me comp tickets. Back when he was in Carolina, I bumped into him at work and instead of asking for an autograph, I asked how his father was. Bill was recovering from a heart attack. He set me up with center ice against the Rangers, 12 rows up, aka. The best seats in the house.

We really need to get some non-food metaphors for prospect development. Marinate, season, slow cook, etc. Like these kids are all just slabs of meat (That's only true for Tage 
)! We can do better.

How about beer? Ferment, barrel age hops? They may work.We really need to get some non-food metaphors for prospect development. Marinate, season, slow cook, etc. Like these kids are all just slabs of meat (That's only true for Tage

They also make meat soft and tender.

The All Star break is a great time to visit the other team forums. See what it's like to rub shoulders with a winner. Or play the my team is worse than your team game.

I think we've reached a new level. A global pandemic saves Botterill from being canned, has a negative effect on our drafting position while we end up as the first team not in a playoff spot.
Ever heard of the butterfly effect? Buffalo Sabres is the horned God of chaos. A stampede of depression and disease. We can do better!

We have 5 games in hand on the defending 2008 Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings and lead them by a point.

Bump to the thread we need, the thread we deserve.
I just memorized Krueger’s principles. Not sure what they are, but memorized them.

Passing this on for Kevyn Adams: "“I need to manage better, we need to coach better, we need to scout better, we need to develop players better and we need to practice better".

I'm really enthused about the effort and enthusiasm shown in this thread. All the posters really are putting the work in, and we're all confident that the results will come as we strive to be connected and together.

just bump it every so often. We’ll probably need it at least once during the Cup finals.

No idea how we're supposed to keep the band together if we continue losing without Buffaloed's gallows humor to fall back on.

To be fair if Judd Peterson is the bar, we can very easily do better.
