    The comments to me about the new coach are kind of revealing.  To me, it seems that they are actually being the opposite of accountable by blaming Donnie indirectly by talking about needing accountability and needing to be pushed harder by the coach.  This, in essence, is blaming it on the coach and not actually holding yourself accountable. 

    Which is what I’ve been saying all season to all the accountable yahoos.  Everyone was screaming from the rafters, “there is no accountability” , “Granato doesn’t hold anyone accountable”.   I asked what that looked like and everyone gave a bunch of platitudes without actually addressing the issue.  The players are the problem.  Granato wasn’t the solution but the answers have to come from within.  These guys need someone who demonstrates personal accountability.  I don’t think it’s anyone currently on the roster.

    He sounds pretty good. #17 by this guy’s ranking. 

    Thomas is a big, explosive wideout with incredible production, including an FBS-best 17 touchdown catches this past season. He lines up outside and in the slot. He easily defeats press coverage with his quickness. He is very sudden in his release and can find another gear once the ball is up in the air. He is very loose and fluid as a route runner. He has snap at the top of the route and doesn't waste steps. He has a very large catch radius because of his frame, leaping ability and ball skills. After the catch, he has some wiggle to make defenders miss and also boasts home run speed. Overall, Thomas is a big-play machine and has the upside to develop into a No. 1 receiver for his drafting team.

    Zay Jones was a super productive college WR.  He’s developed into a very nice WR3.  🤯

    It's a bunch of nerds getting together to see who's pocket protector is bigger. I'm sure if you deep dive into this there is some fatal flaw like anything. 

    I can get a compass (ouch), protractor and and abacus in mine.  What about you?

    Levi needs to stop being sent down, I don't know if that was stupid Granato or not but UPL is the better goalie right now.

    Like he should have never left Buffalo?  Because he absolutely needed to be sent down. His stint in Buffalo went about as poorly as it could have.

    I would be pretty surprised if Coleman doesn’t go until the 4th and will be absolutely pumped if we got him there.  
    I like what McConkey can do but not sure if he’s the type of wr we Need.  I think we need more of a Thomas/Mitchell kind of guy. 

    McConkey is exactly what they don’t need.  Same skill set as Shakir and Samuels.  I wouldn’t hate if they drafted him, just not in the 1st round as they already have rostered players who do the exact same thing.

    Beane mentioned they do not have first round grades on 28 players this year. Thursday should be interesting 

    Prepping the fanbase for trading out of the first round.  Dammit Beane, I took Friday off for this *****!

    He wasn't very good in the game though until right near the end when he did score. Winnipeg dominated that game in places. 

    Vancouver Nashville game was really good. ROR loving hockey. 

    Ya, he was pretty darn good. 

    I had no idea Vancouver and Nashville were the two hit leaders for the season. Nashville didn't surprise me but had no idea Vancouver had moved that far in that direction. Something to be learned there Sabres. 

    And by Sabres you mean Adams because I don’t see many of the current lot laying out anyone ever.  Clifton, Benson (sad), sometimes Cozens, super infrequently Samuelsson who seemingly can’t play that way without breaking himself.  That’s about it.  Novikov is on the way but he’s probably a season away.  Adams needs to bring in 3-4 guys that’ll smack ya.  I know I’m hoping for a miracle here.

    You dont like McConkey? He's going to be a great player 

    Case in point. And no, nobody knows who is going to be a great player. You can offer an opinion but it’s sure as heck not a certainty.  They built an entire industry on the discourse about things like draft picks.

    I wonder if he talked to Adams and decided to not be interviewed.  

    I am ready to move on from #28.

    With the talk of the team’s leadership or more importantly lack there of I really do not see how they can bring him back 

    Can they ban him from the facility? This team needs new blood.  Adams needs to get this right.

    Just as long as Rochester doesn’t have to play Syracuse in the first round. They’re the toughest competition.

    Not to mention they are allowed to commit assault every time they are on the ice.  Playoff hockey is great and all but when your team just gets ragdolled and abused for 60 minutes a night, it’s less than enjoyable.

    Well he played well through it but I think the Larkin injury really hurt them and the goaltending. Much like the Sabres, they are not very deep at this point. 

    Nah you only need players that “know how to win”. Having talent and being healthy don’t mean a thing.  You can just insert any player into the lineup as long as they “know how to win”.  🙄

    I hope he comes back to clarify, but when he wrote ‘the guys’ I assumed he meant ‘the players’.

    He meant the players that were expressing their dismay at the fan chants for Donnie's head.

    So the Wings were smart to lock $30M into Debrincat, Copp, Compher, Chariot, Holl and Husso to not make the playoffs?

    And Kane “knew something” because he picked the 41-win Wings over the 39-win Sabres?

    🤔

    They jumped over the Sabres and got closer, really close, and they didn't sell off picks/prospects to do it. I'd say that was a small success. I don't watch them enough to know much more. 

    Both teams were garbage
