Do they send Benson to the WJCs to get some chemistry with Celebrini? 

Agree 100%

Maybe some outside picketing of the area that makes national news, if the fans even care enough anymore... Short of that, I don't see these marshmallows doing anything of any real consequence. They are spitting in the face of all the Buffalonians that have paid their time and money over the last decades. They have no interest in getting this city abuzz like it used to be, there is a huge problem having nothing but kids on the team. We may never see that greatness again. 

 

At this point, move the team, I'd rather have no team than this constant dissapointment. 

 

FU pegula 

You don’t want that. Just ask Oakland!

This is true but he isn't going to fire himself. 
Donnie needs to go tomorrow 

He should have been gone weeks ago. I was unable to watch the game but how did Tuch and Thompson play. These are supposed to be your offensive leaders.

No. It’s on the guy assembling the group 

You either identify the right guys and build a competent puzzle or you can’t do it

Adams has fallen into the latter 

They assembled a great pool of prospects, but he needs a tough coach, to bring it out of these guys, someone like torts! I’m okay even if we bring in Gallant. I think he might do better and get more out of these guys!

Donnie Meatballs sounds more like a politician after every debilitating loss.  Whoever said it echoes Krueger was right.

He’s not the right guy to get them to take the next steps!

This really shows he is not dialed in.   You have to believe that Gallent or Berube, both available, could change that thought.  

Both would be an upgrade but not sure on long term. They need a good defensive coach as well but they also need a veteran defenseman with some grit to help these youngsters. Power needs to bulk up and work on his foot speed. Tuch and Thompson need a good swift kick in their *****!

Considering Tage is on pace for 20 goals he better worry about getting his butt in gear.

Him and Tuch being the offensive leaders need to pull their heads out of their *****, way too much lollygagging!

I am now officially listening to complaints about sacking Granato. This team needs accountability.

There was zero effort tonight. Zero pride. Zero respect for the fans that are watching. Bring in someone to crack the whip on these guys.

^ This. Granato isn’t the right guy to take this team to the next level.

Absolutely a trash team. The Vegas game was dumb luck. 

^ Vegas didn’t look sharp yesterday, plus missing Theodore and Martinez on defense plus Adin Hill in net.

Here in Vegas I always have been telling people Arizona isn’t that bad of a team and they have a decent coach. 

[GDT: Sabres @ Arizona - Sat. 9 pm ET, Dec 16, 2023, MSG-B, SCRIPPS 📺 WGR 📻]

Why is the youngest and one of the smallest players always going to the net and some of the vets with size are gliding around and playing on the perimeter. We need more guys like Benson but with some size and some bite!

Gliding around

Tuch and Thompson need to get it in gear. Way too much gliding around.

[GDT: Sabres @ Arizona - Sat. 9 pm ET, Dec 16, 2023, MSG-B, SCRIPPS 📺 WGR 📻]

I wouldn’t change the lineup at all. Plus they need that same effort every night. Tuch and Thompson need to start skating, both are too good to be gliding as much as they have been.

Well go figure. 

I guess the million dollar question is how do they get these guys to play hard EVERY NIGHT and not just after they get yelled at for a stinker. 

 

^ This, plus getting Tuch and Thompson to step it up more. Buffalo definitely has a great young goalie in Levi. They still need some sandpaper on defense 

[GDT: Sabres @ VGK - Fri. 10 pm ET, Dec 15, 2023, MSG-B, SCRIPPS 📺 WGR 📻]

I’m impressed they bounced back. Hopefully they can build off a win like tonight!

They need to start earning the calls. Still not aggressive enough.

Someone needs to tell Tuch and Thompson to move your feet. I know Tuch can fly because he was here in Vegas. Way too much gliding!

As soon as TNT gets the puck he goes east, west or even loops back. He never seems to attack with the rush. I’ve been seeing this a lot from him this year.

Vegas plays a physical game… Players hit hard and often… Intimidate opponents… 

Their fourth line of Roy, Carrier, and Kolesar gives teams fits. They have been good for awhile. Plus Vegas plays down to their competition when they play bottom teams. It’s been like that for numerous seasons.

Power is so soft, we need to toughen this dude up, 6'6" 220 lbs and afraid of any contact.

I’m at the game and I totally agree. He put himself in that spot to get wrecked. On the bright side Levi is a really good goalie. Murray is invisible. Thompson and Tuch need to start skating way too much gliding around. 

[GDT: Sabres @ VGK - Fri. 10 pm ET, Dec 15, 2023, MSG-B, SCRIPPS 📺 WGR 📻]

At the game hoping for a close game. Might be the Eichel show tonight! If the Sabres start slow again then Granato has to go along with his assistants!

[Jeff Skinner placed on IR; Brett Murray called up]

Jeff Skinner got lit up by McKinnon last night plus he hit the boards hard.

I’d be on the phone with Gallant by the morning. But that kind of bold move is unthinkable from this sorry franchise.

This is such an unlikable team outside of a few players. I despise what TP has turned this franchise into. 

A lot could change if you had a better coach along with some better assistants. I don’t like how Buffalo plays defense or lack of defense. Power needs to bulk up and gain a step or two. He seems slow and not tough enough. Buffalo looks like their is no system and its run and gun.

Sadly, I agree. KA and DG seem inextricably linked. Granato is not the guy to push this team where they need to go. That is very clear at this point. The frustrating part is they will tease you with games that show what they're capable of, but Meatballs cannot get them to give that effort consistently. They look like wildly different teams from one game to the next. We'll just keep bouncing up and down and get the same post game platitudes every game.

^ This is spot on. Fire ***** Granato and his staff already. This is absolute garbage to watch. If I lived in Buffalo I would be holding a sign to fire the coaching staff.
