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

giving up Power and / or Cozens would require a huge return otherwise I'm keeping them as well. Levi is another I'm not trading. Tuch would also be a guy I would be hesitant to trade Juri Kulich would be the one prospect that I wouldn't trade you have enough prospects , draft picks and roster players not named above to make a substantial trade

But he's a positive influence on Power and Dahlin lol scary part of this season the D is basically Dahlin and a bunch of guys who play is at best 3rd pair power and Samuelson should be relegated to bottom pair but there is no one to take their place in the top 4 that's Adams issue to resolve immediately

I honestly tried to stand behind Granato and wanted them to give him a chance with a full line-up but after last night I've changed my mind. No longer can an assistant coach be a sacrificial lamb, the head coach needs to go we are now seeing regression across the board, defence that borders on keystone cops, and effort that only seems to show up against the top clubs in the league. I imagine they are going to play well the next few games vs the Leafs, Rangers and Boston and then regress back to form vs Columbus on the 30th If I was Adams, I would have a long hard look at myself to fully realize my role in the debacle of the 23/24 season. From not bringing in a Vet Goalie, to not replacing Quinn externally and only signing 2 bottom pair defenders in Free Agency. I would learn from this and then go fire my coach and put Appert in as an Interm coach. No matter how well they do to end the year, you go out and hire the best coach available...you will have to hope that either Brind'Amour and / or Cooper are available to hire. I do want to believe brining in RB'M was the goal from the onset but we will see Over the holidays, I talk to every team in the league that has a legit top 4 dman available and you pay the price using draft picks, prospects and roster players.

Are we expecting a press conference today ? I say there is a 10% chance of it

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

Reporting the a "fire Donny" chant was pretty loud and clear tonight not sure you would hear it next game vs the leafs "go leafs go" but all those going to the game need to chanting "fire Donny" from the opening face-off
