Flyers over achieved big time this year, another team I could care less about.

Good maybe he’s sick of the Wings too! They already have enough Cups!

DG is great junior level developmental coach. That’s his forte. It was clear he was over his head and could not establish consistency with the group. I would love a veteran coach, no nonsense guy like Gallant. I have no hope for that though I’m a realist.

Wow. I thought it was possible but not likely.
I wish DG well. He seems like a good guy but was not the right guy for this job.
The best thing about this is that it means they are trying to be a real team again.
Now KA needs to pick the right guy.

Can we finally get rid of this coaching staff and I don’t give a ***** if the players like him. This team needs to be pushed harder.

He should have been fired awhile ago!

Team is just falling apart
Calling Mr Pegula, fire this ***** coaching staff already. Stop trying to find the next great inexperienced coach. This team needs a good kick swift in the ass as the culture is *****!

I have never seen a more pathetic defensive team in all my 50 years. How the hell do you leave a guy alone like that uncovered? This is 100% on coaching.
^ This, but they like him. Give me a break. Fire the entire coaching staff.

I was thinking a lot about Vancouver tonight. They are not more talented. Matter of fact they probably have less talent than we do. But up there they sit, and it's all on the coaching. They battle harder, they have stronger position play, they play better team D and most of all they battle really hard in front of the net. This all comes from the coaching and their team system. There is absolutely no reason we could not be just as good if we had a good coach.
But we do not.
^ This, when they were in Vegas like a week or two ago they were all over the puck, it was pretty impressive.

Darren Drager on Sabres Live said some of the owners are not happy with Vegas taking advantage of the playoff rule, and may push for a change for next season.
As someone who lives in Vegas and knows this team well, they have an owner that wants to win. Plus Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world. I agree that it’s a stupid rule and should be changed. Tampa is the one that got away with it first but just because you spend all this money, you need luck, stay healthy, get hot at the right time, way too many factors go into this. I’m more concerned with what the roster will be next season with who stays and who goes. Everyone here loves Marchy and he’s a ufa.

Sorry, but I’m glad to see him go. Just shows you he had hardly any value.

Ok, seriously, the guy has 2 hours practice with the team. If it was me, he doesn't play with the starters for at least 3 days.
The guy basically know nothing about Granoto's defense.
I thought Granato’s system was like playing pickup hockey.
-
If I’m Adams, I’m moving every ufa. As far as that trade I don’t know if I move Casey for Bowen. Buffalo needed a veteran defenseman who could help Power become a man.

This is very good Buffalo Sabres news at least the Sabres are committed to staying in Buffalo. Buffalo fans know I am not a fan of Terry Pegula and I doubt I ever will be even if he finally wins a championship. Because I don’t care for his style of absentee ownership even with the Buffalo Bills it’s minimum at best so after getting that out of the way.
Buffalo Sabres fans can do whatever they want it’s a free country. I would never tell anyone what they should do with their hard earned money or how to think. But understand complaining about seating leg room and restrooms is nonsense. The Buffalo Memorial Auditorium was a dump but we still went to games as Buffalo Sabres fans. The Key Bank Center restrooms today are 5 stars compared to the old Buffalo Memorial Auditorium or Buffalo War Memorial Stadium. If you don’t like sports anymore unless the Sabres are winning or the prices are cheap that is fine. But understand there are consequences for that action it’s called the moving van. Again I am fine with Buffalo NHL or AHL hockey as long as Buffalo has some kind of hockey team. But I have a feeling that the ones complaining the most about restrooms and leg room would never go near a Buffalo AHL team replacement for the NHL Buffalo Sabres if it ever came to that. Yet howl the most about missing NHL hockey in Buffalo. I say this because Buffalo Sabres are down there NHL revenue wise today with Arizona Coyotes and Winnipeg Jets two NHL teams that are at risk for relocation.The Key Bank Center seating bowl changes only happen with public money that is the general public responsibility it’s in the Buffalo Sabres lease. The Sabres lease is coming up and we as a Western New York community are going to have a choice renew the lease with the upgrades that the Sabres want or not. I think as a Buffalo Sabres fan it comes down to just like the Buffalo Bills you either want major league sports or you don’t in Buffalo? There is a price for major league sports and there are plenty of cities that will take the Sabres off our hands if you want to do the Oakland as I call it. Which is absolutely nothing but complain and not go to games. The ticket prices are the ticket prices for major league sporting events today go or don’t go it seems pretty simple. But in sports regardless of the level you can’t guarantee winning. I wish you could but you can’t.
But I don’t want to hear complaining if the Buffalo Sabres leave town for the Buffalo AHL replacement you get what you pay for. Tickets are never coming down price wise and will always go up. When I read complaints about the restrooms and leg room in seats it tells me this may not be a major league sports town anymore sadly? You either love NHL hockey or you don’t? Seats and restrooms never entered into watching a hockey game for me. Again I am personally good either way Western New York community wants either to do the Oakland and become Rochester sports rivals keep it up.
The biggest problem with the Buffalo Sabres are that the Sabres players are too comfortable and the roster needs a major block buster trades. Eventually that is going to happen and I think it’s Alex Tuch he isn’t a clutch player and any where but Buffalo would be a try hard player on a third line. Alex Tuch isn’t ever going to be a star or a top 6 forward and too many Sabres fans can’t see that yet. Because Alex Tuch is a semi local player from Syracuse. But the reality is that Patrick Kane the Buffalo hometown player most didn’t want even at his age is a more skilled clutch player than an Alex Tuch now. But unfortunately Sabres fans don’t want to hear or accept that fact. Alex Tuch is at his ceiling he isn’t going to get better only older. Now is the time to move him while the Sabres can hopefully get a good return. I would bring in Patrick Kane in free agency and trade for John Tavares out of Toronto. Which I think John Tavares may come available in the summer after the Toronto Maple Leafs collapse in the NHL playoffs again. John Tavares would be the Sabres new captain and Patrick Kane an alternate captain. Completely remaking the culture and locker room for the current Buffalo Sabres in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo
Since Tuch was originally here in Vegas first and I know the Golden Knights better than anyone on this board since I’m at every home game, You are spot on. Tuch is a very good player leaving you wanting more. If he would use his size and speed every shift he would be a scary player but it’s so sporadic when he does. Plus he’s not a finisher.
My only issue with this team is coaching, I believe if they had a tough coach along with a better defensive coach this team would be much better. They give up way too many chances and someone really needs to work with Power. I’m so over Kyle Okposo as I thought he should have not been resigned as well as Zemgus. -
How was that not called on Kempe. That’s ***** terrible!
-
Gee it’s about to make a call. Kempe with a major hook on Tuch - no call, Zemgus lays out his man and then takes 2 crosschecks - no call. WTF

Why not? Renovate the building. Fix the entire way the game is produced and marketed in that region. Build a team the right way. If they had a great team fans from WNY, Southern Ontario, Rochester, Syracuse would be coming to games and going crazy. It’s a great market being wasted.
I agree
-
I just don’t understand this thinking hiring unproven GM and way too many coaches that can talk a good game but not get the players fired up to play every night. This whole coaching staff needs to go and we need a proven tough coach and better assistant coaches. The whole culture needs to change. If I owned this team I would be pissed. I would say this is unacceptable and if you like to keep your job then you better put the work in. What gets me is when you have a winning team your revenue and building start filling up.
