Crusader1969

Granato has said RJ will be back for tomorrow....so let's all calm down ...including me when I first saw the headline

I think you will be a playoff team if 1) move Greenway to the 3rd line in place of Rosen. Hopefully Rosen, Kulich and Savoie are close enough to fill in for injuries in the top 9 2) bring in 2 4th line wingers who play fast and bring a relentless forecheck. Don't need them to score much. Just need the opposing dmen to be wary when they are out there cause they know they are gonna hit 3) a legit top 4 dman to pair with Dahlin. Not easy to find but if anyone can make a trade happen, it's the Sabres. Picks, prospects and cap space 4) MOST IMMPORTANLY - hire Brind'amour or Copper and replace the entire coaching staff No doubt in my mind that with Brind'Amour at the helm of this team, we are 10 points above where they are today

How did that even happen? Would it have been too tough to move Mitts up or Krebs? Definitely a guy they could have used.

and it continues....Hope all is ok with Tage but just seems to be another cursed year.. though, i guess he isn't ruled out for the next game

The honest truth is that when they continually play Olofsson on 4th line, in order to not hurt his trade value. It means you aren't making decisions based on whats best for today. If they do bench 71 are they getting a 7th round pick for him over getting a 4th? really what difference does it really make. Until Adams makes a decision on whats best for today rather than whats best down the road, he doesnt care about winning at this time and neither should we. The teams construction is a joke. You have all the skill in the world but every team needs Foot Soldiers and the Sabres have 3. One is hurt (Girgs), one is playing (Krebs) and one is sitting in the press box (Robinson) for a player that brings absolutely nothing to the team (Olofsson) They don't only need more foot soldiers, they need an improvement in quality Don't get me started on the stupidity of carrying 3 goalies, -1 is 21 and should be in the AHL, another widely inconsistent (UPL), one is among the worst in the league (Comrie) You have a plethora of forward prospects that would have great value, you have all your 2024 draft picks, you have a couple of guys that have a little bit of value on the trade market - get something done. .Show us you care! at the very least, what's Adams game plan? he must have a projected roster for 24/25 season, as far as I can see there isn't room for Rosen, Kulich nor Savoie. one of them needs to be traded as a part of a package for a position of need...goalie, top 4 dman, 3rd line center.

Definitely, need foot soldiers. Thought they might have one with Robinson but for some reason they put 71 on the 4th line

There is zero excuse for a team with as much talent as the Sabres do to be 30th in PP percentage. PK is quickly falling down the league rankings. Face- off percentage is 30th team lack's attention to detail points directly at the coaching staff

Cozens needs to go out and pick up a "slump buster". The guy is cursed

It's sad when you have to hope your team gets pounded in order for the GM to wake up. im right there with you. Wanted it to get to 7-0

Nope. They need foot soldiers. The only one out there tonight is Krebs. Where are the other 2 on the 4th "energy line"? with Olofsson in the 4th line , you know this team is not trying to win glad Adams can continue to be patient. it's wearing thin for me to be honest

I'm here for the "Fire Donnie" chants I expect to hear in the 3rd.

Through January they play 14 games. 10-3-1 at minimum I would think

I thought he played really well after the first period. gotta bury those chances in OT. Bills won so pretty good night overall After the Christmas break, I'm hopeful for a good run by them, especially now that they have a full line-up how badly did they miss Quinn???

AGAIN?????

All I want for Christmas is a 2 game winning streak!

I agree with this. Not sure who comes out for KO though You are that confident they can't ? I know I'm not

This is probably true. Enjoy the night, if they can hold on here but as Roger Daltry famously said "we won't get fooled again!"

This is a good point. The 4th line is finally playing the 4th line role let's see where they go from here Still need another top 4 dman but forwards are I good shape

The greater good. Need them to be forced to make a coaching change

If it wasn't the leafs I'd be hoping for another 9-2 loss

Levi looks shaky on that last shot. Definitely struggling with confidence. already sick of listening to these two lead commentators in regards to Matthews.

What the actual F*ck. Looks like Levi's New Years be spent in Rochester

Damn. Forgot to lay some money on a Sabres win tonight. Probably had really good odds before puck drop

I just figure he is better than having Matt Ellis take over in the interim. I don't want them to hire a full time coach till summer

Ideal but Tanev has a no trade 10 team least. Gotta think Buffalo is #1 or #2 team on most players list
