Same Boat Buddy, same sinking F@cking Boat! Been saying for Years things needed to change on, got called a Crybaby, Your not a Sabres Fan, Hey here's a box of tissues.
Adams has missed some huge signals to help his Team, atleast 3.
1- Early part last year Sabres were hurting bad with D injuries, sat on his hands
2- TDL gotta learn how to use the plethora of Assets as what they are right know, especially if you aren't gonna play any of them, as Assets. He missed again
3- This past off-season while not overrun with High End Talent in FA, well there was plenty of what we did Need. Quality Bottom 6 players who could have really helped this team move forward, and could have brought better leadership and some much needed Grit. Plus a few D that would have helped better than the crap he brought in.

In your opinion, what percentage of the team/staff has lost confidence in Adams?

Cozens with the empty netter for the win but he was directly responsible for Ottawa's 2nd and 3rd goals. Ever since he got punched out by Hathaway, Cozens has looked lost. Hopefully this empty netter gets him going.
- SabreWest


Who’s on this team that does not look lost? Most look worse this year than last.

Tage- Worse
Tuch- Worse
Skinner- Push
Peterka- Better
Cozens- Worse
Quinn - Push
Benson- could be better
Greenway- Worse
Mitts - better
Okposo - Push
Girgs - Worse
Krebs - worse

Dahlin, Power, Sammy - Worse
Joker - Better
Clifton - playing better of late
RJ- sits most night when could be our 2nd best D.

75% of our team is playing worse than last year. Thats on coaching.

Why are we so sure that the decision to play the defensive style that Granato has known this group is incapable of playing for two years didn't come from above him?

Nobody is incapable of playing a hockey system.
C'mon man...this isn't rocket science.
It is simply a lack of dedicating oneself to do so the coach needs to extract that dedication by selling the associated benefits of doing so on and individual basis and team basis...and on-ice leadership is required to apply peer pressure to conform or get the F out.

Cuddling guys isn't the way. I thank that has been established in spades by now.

I want a Reporter to ask Granato straight out! Do you wish you could have hired your own Full staff and not bring back 60% retreads.

These kids are the best of the best. Throughout there whole careers getting to this point how many different systems did they play in. They know what Granato wants, it's just doing it. F@cking Ridiculous excuses

Can you imagine him giving an answer other than offering full support for his entire staff

Now we await the status of Tage.

I was only able to see the highlights from last night, but I heard he didn’t return to the game

Guess, surprised he didn't go with someone with a bit more experience, really hasn't been coaching that long.

Well there weren’t coaches named Italian dressing or bbq sauce, so logical choice was mayo

The reports I’ve read say it’s not serious per meatball and he is expected to return Saturday.
I’m guessing he started bleeding from his cut maybe

Sabres are now 5-3-1 since they said Frank it let’s ride.

Vsncouver on Saturday then the schedule gets really good for them.

But then again, this team always likes to play down to their opponent.

If they can’t go on a run now, turn out the lights

- Swedish_Jesus


5-3-1 = .611 Pts Percentage
.611 × 80 Pts remaining = 50 pts
50 pts + 40 pts = 90 pts
Well below the ~97 likely needed to be in contention for a PO spot.

Two points on Saturday is the focus right now.

String a few wins together then we can talk about scoreboard watching

I wish them nothing but the best and would love nothing more than to see them do it.
Keep in mind they played a poop show team last night, and as usual let them draw close rather than putting them down aggressively.

Given their track record, I expect them to lose concentration and come out flat again.
