    Keeping in mind we probably would not even be looking for a coach if Granato could have solved our power play problems. 15 goals behind league average this year and 26 goals behind last years output. Fix those numbers and we were probably in the playoffs. I think Gallant would be a better choice for our team. I want a coach who will use our speed and skill players He has coached those types of teams.  I don't think we can bring in a coach who will want to retool half the roster to fit his style of coaching. We are not a heavy team that is going crash the net every play the way we are built now. Yes we need more of it but are you going to tell Thompson with the fastest slap shot in the NHL to stand 3 feet in front of the net? I want a coach who will continue to build on what we have and make it better not one who will try to rip it apart. A lot of things were going in the right direction toward the end of the year except the stinky power play which sucked all year and never got us goals when we needed them.  

    So many things were going right the Sabres were a .500 team down the stretch with every incentive to win... End the drought plus other teams were collapsing.

    Granato's problems ran deeper than his peeper.

  2. Hope Eleven is OK. And Taro.

    If I had to guess the season was especially hard for Taro because his expectations were so high. I gave him a hard time about it and shouldn't have. Low hanging fruit and all.

    That's why my policy is to wait and watch before drawing conclusions. No way am I predicting a breakout season... Or DFL.

    I don’t know how correct that is. By the same date as Roy’s first game, The Islanders got 61% of points. The Hurricanes got 74%.

    The Isles are certainly a much better team under Roy but I don’t think they were ‘the hottest team in the league.’

    Last 10 games is my benchmark. But like I said the Isles were streaky all year.

    Reading that thread yesterday was amusing to see how quickly people attacked the credibility. Some people don’t want to burn their sources.
     

    I didn’t understand why people were so quick to poo poo it when I thought it was a very real possibility. I know someone mentioned the new scoreboard and roof as proof why he wasn’t selling. When I heard the rumor I immediately thought that may been a condition of the deal. 

     

    this is going to be a very interesting summer 

    Critical thinking! Folks, we're on our own. The pros like Rachel are not thinking or working for us.

    Corporate communications is in her future.

    Statement from Pegula said that no other sports teams are up for sale.

    Sorry, it did not. It said "discussions" about the sale of a minority interest in the Bills involve the Bills and do not involve other teams. Well, duh. Another atrociously written release from the Pegula people.
