Did Kevyn Adams Build A Cup Contender?? Sabres Are ON FIRE 🔥 | FN Barn Burner
Pinder & Rhett are joined by TSN’s Noodles to dive into the Buffalo Sabres and their unbelievable surge — a run that started right after GM KevynAdams was fired, prompting Noodles to jokingly ask if Adams deserves GM of the Year (even though he’s gone)… because, technically, he did build this roster. After a 7–4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night, Buffalo improved to an absurd 19-3-1 over their last 23 games — officially the best 23-game stretch in franchise history. How real is this Sabres breakout, and what does it mean moving forward??

Ive hated kevyn adams since his time playing with Carolina but you have to give him some credit. Firing him didn't change the team or culture over night.
He built a team but no culture.
Leadership, personality, accountability. That’s what’s changed.
Adam’s kept buying Ferraris and Porsches that he didn’t know how to drive. leadership and culture took a pile of good pieces and turned it into a wagon. He HAD to go, they had no confidence in his abilities or faith in him.
It was jarmo telling the team everyone is expendable. Also they finally started to believe in each other and what lindy is telling them to do.
He did .. he made some good trades, made the team better… there's no denying that. However, I don't believe he's the type of guy you would run through walls for. Jarmo came into that locker room and immediately set expectations and fires got lit under asses. Apparently, Tage, Dahls, and Tuch (might have been another couple guys) had their own dinner meeting to set the tone… and they fucking delivered.
Kevin built a good team. Jarmo lit the fire. Captains got their shit in order. Now, you've got a team playing for a coach that can get you to the playoffs.
Kevyn was good drafting and trading. His problem was he was a pegula yes man. Pegula held this team back. Got mad hes on the bench for the Sabres and now taking it out on the Bills.
Dumb comment about Bills and Brady. They did not already have him bc he was interviewing for HC jobs. Hire him or lose him
also realize that the Peterka trade, signing Alex Lyon Was while Jarmo was the advisor to Adams. Jarmo may have directed Adams to take those actions. The Josh Norris for Cozens trade is up in the air until Norris can stay healthy. The only pure Adams trade that has started to work out is the Byrum for Middlestadt trade.
Talk about players Benson is a player
A few things that look different this year with the Sabres. Goaltending has improved and in the offensive zone i see much more net front presence. Screening goalies, getting deflections, and scoring off rebounds which is something they have been terrible at in recent seasons. Also, confidence is a hell of a drug!
Wow a complete shift in tone interesting
This run has been nice, but I'll be interested to see if they can continue their winning ways after the Olympic break. Three years ago, this team seemed like they were on the verge of ending the drought heading into the All-Star break. They completely collapsed after the break and through most of March before making a failed push for a WC spot. Not exactly the same team, but many players from that squad are on this year's team.
Kesselring isn’t even in the top 4 its Dahlin Samuelsson Byram and Power thats why they could be so frustrating all these years because they have the talent and damn that team is fast they out skate almost everyone most nights
There it is.. Adams was the kind of guy that didn't make coming to work fun.. for whatever internal dynamics we'll never know.
When the rumors heated up Adams was a goner, so did the team.
The ingredients were always quality, but the chef just wasn't making them pop until a new chef took over the menu
They won a few games before Kevyn Adams was fired. He deserves his job back.
This is Kevyn Adams’ roster, but it’s Jarmo’s and Lindy’s culture. The culture changed.
Young Doaner becoming a Leader there I hear, and if Kesselring can fit in that'd br great. The JJ Pete and Doan/Kess trade wrkn really well for both teams so far, imo, LookOut for 'muh Mam's- the rising Star of the Central Division.
