  3. Blow the Whole Team up in the Off-Season - It's the Only Reasonable Thing to do

    The Buffalo Sabres are too comfortable and too many young players that are running the locker room with little accountability. The Sabres have to get older more experienced players that have grown up. When you have a hockey team that is upset because of Sabres fans booing and chants of fire Don Granato there priorities aren’t in the right place. Newsflash you are losing that is what happens in professional and college sports when you don’t win fans boo and want changes. The Buffalo fans don’t owe you a NHL job with no accountability for your play. This Buffalo Sabres team as it is meaning do nothing in the off season you’re going to get the same results as the last 13 years. Watch some of those Buffalo Sabres shows on the Sabres players you can see the Sabres are more a college frat house playing video games, golfing and screwing around. That needs to change for the Buffalo Sabres too many young players together is a bad idea. With older players that frat house crap won’t be mostly the entire Sabres team as it is now. This Sabres team was doomed from the very beginning too many young players screwing around and living in a fantasy world with no accountability for their bad play night after night. To sum it up the Buffalo Sabres management coddles these players many of them need to go to break up that frat house and fire Don Granato that created that and tolerate that. Don Granato should never have been hired to begin with he was the assistant coach to Ralph Krueger. Too expect a different outcome was very naive. Too many Buffalo Sabres fans put too much hope in Don Granato in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo 

    Good post but the return key is your friend. Long posts mostly get jumped over. 

  17. Girgensons Is No Longer An NHL Level Player ?

    The only way you send the message “country club is closing” is by closing it.  

    Trading a player like Z is probably a good business decision, and it could be done as such.   But it is not sending that message.  You don’t make examples out of the wrong people and the easy targets.  

    You want to close the country club - then Adam’s and DG should take the steps to close whatever this distraction is.  I’m not sure exactly what the country club is, but the players should be doing nothing but work when they come to work.  I do agree with that.  

    You want them to play the right way - get a coaching staff that teaches it and demands it.  It sure is not the way they play today.  Girgensons is not the reason they play wrong   

    Waiving Z and getting nothing for him isn’t going to change a damn thing accept to raise more eyebrows around the NHL.  It’s another sign of dysfunction.  He will get picked up, and he will be in a better place, and he gets all his money from the Sabres too. 
     

    McDermott shut down the Rex Ryan country club.  He got rid of the games, the video bull$hit and the TVs - all of it gone.   Work is for work.  He put up signs and he sent messages.  He was and still is consistent.  He brought in competent coaches and they made the players better, and they won, and they liked it.   After awhile winning became a habit and now players want to play for the Bills  

    McD also owned the 17 year drought.  He said he wasn’t here for it, but once he took the job he owned it, because he said “it’s still there and the only way to end it is to own it”.    Meaning he challenged them and they rose to it.   None of players were there for 17 years either, but they listened.  They ended it his first year with Tyrod Taylor and Nathan Peterman at QB.   Lessons to be learned are right here.   But they are ignored by the owner. 
     

    Back to the Sabres -  Based on this whole fan salute issue,  it is clear that the vets on the team don’t own the drought,  the coaches don’t own it, and the GM doesn’t own it.   No wonder it continues and the team is in decline again.  The kids should be challenged to own it and end it, but they are told by leadership that they don’t.   This bad leadership is killing an opportunity for these kids to do something big and connect to the fan base, the opposite is happening   

    Two teams with opposite approaches but owned by the same clueless guy.  Ironic.  


    The Sabres have sent messages like this before - We shipped out ROR, Risto, Eichel, Reinhart, Montour, Ulmark … they are all thriving now.  The Sabres FO didn’t fix a thing other than get rid of the guys smart enough to want to leave. 

    So go ahead and trade Z and KO, it’s really is time.  I don’t see a problem.  But don’t expect that will fix anything because the problems run so much deeper.  

     The Sabres look to be are run by amateurs right now.  The owner is oblivious to it all.  

    I think you hit the nail on the head here. 
    Teaches and demand it. The latter is lacking.

    Edmonton for one. St. Louis, LA. And maybe the Islanders although currently, they are still on the outside of a playoff spot looking in. The others mentioned are currently in a playoff spot.

    You don't and it ain't happening this season.

    So the coach was bad? Or the players needed to wake up ?🤔

    Everything you posted is true and makes great sense…

    Think @JoeSchmoe’s point was by waiving Girgensons management would send a strong message more change is coming… “If you want to stick with this group, start playing the right way”… He could have singled out any one of several other names… Wearing the A, and as a longtime Sabre, and underperformer, Girgensons best fit @JoeSchmoe’s message… He’s getting minor minutes this season for a reason…

    And, you’re right, the team is fragile… It’s time they grow up as a group… It’s a business.

    IMO that just means you are an ahole organization.

  25. Amerks Game Threads

    I was at the game today. Levi looks like college Levi😃. Keep him down for the season facing a ton of rubber. Marlies goalie made a couple of unreal saves but I thought  Levi was really impressive for the Amerks. They said the Marlies had 53 shots but I didn’t  see 53 shots on net. I think they were generous with the counting but regardless it was a really reassuring game for him. Let him keep building off it.

    Levi, from what I’ve heard, will be starting the next Sabres game.
