I don't understand.  We are pissed and we are all siting in our living rooms. 
 

why aren't the people just as pissed ?  They spent good money to watch this garbage.    
Let's hear some "fire Donnie " chants.  
"sell the team". 
most complacent crowd in professional sports both good and bad 

[GDT: Devils @ Sabres - March 29, 2024, 7:00pm, MSG 📺, WGR 📻]

What's the best score we can hope for tonight ? 10-0??

[GDT: Devils @ Sabres - March 29, 2024, 7:00pm, MSG 📺, WGR 📻]

Man I'm pissed that there is no anticipation or excitement for this game tonight.   
 

i really need changes to happen this off-season 

[Why should Granato and the assistants be brought back?]

if the players really like DG, they have a funny way of showing it. 

 

[Kevyn and Don, should we really expect more after four years?]

2 weeks ago, I thought Don was safe and would get to come back next season but no longer. 

Losing to Detroit, the 3rd period vs Edmonton  and now last nights debacle has convinced me and hopefully KA that he must be fired. I would actually fire him today to make a real statement to the team.

It is in Canada. Not where he is though I guess. 

I think there's a lot more drug testing at work in the U.S. than in Canada in general. We don't do a lot of it at all. 

Oh right. I keep forgetting we often have more freedoms in socialist Canada than do our neighbors in the Land of Free. 
I TEASE!!' 

[GDT: Ottawa Senators @ Buffalo Sabres 3/27 7PM MSG and Radio]

I'm thinking they should fire DG tomorrow 

shock the players.  No longer is failure acceptable.  
Plus put DG out of his misery.  I think he is a really good guy and you are doing right by him by firing him now.   
he should find work again as an Assitant coach down the road

Ya, I guess if you are being drug tested that would sink you. I'd be tempted to find another job 🙂

 

Isn't weed legal? 

[GDT: Ottawa Senators @ Buffalo Sabres 3/27 7PM MSG and Radio]

The team takes on the personality of their coach.  Don is a good guy, well liked but doesn't inspire

have to hope the Hurricanes go out early and Bind'mour becomes a free agent.  
if not bring back Lindy with the idea that he will get a job in the front office down the line .... give Peca a few more years experience and bring him in 

truth be told, I'd rather Peca with experienced assistants over DG next year 

[GDT: Ottawa Senators @ Buffalo Sabres 3/27 7PM MSG and Radio]

It's that time.  Guess I should be happy it's almost April, before having to do this...  but time to switch over from the NHL standings to Tankathon!

I would really like Greenway if he was on the 4th line. 

I wouldn't.  Not an energy guy that you need on the 4th line.  3rd line is exactly where he belongs 

[GDT: Ottawa Senators @ Buffalo Sabres 3/27 7PM MSG and Radio]

Ummm why wouldn't you pull the goalie there ?   DG lacks in game management skills 

[GDT: Ottawa Senators @ Buffalo Sabres 3/27 7PM MSG and Radio]

1000 games and no playoffs for skinner.  Sportsnet commentators speculating that it must eat him up 

honestly , I really doubt he cares

Because other teams with their competent management are, shock, able to identify the players who can amount to more in situations where the sum total of the roster isn’t ass

how many times do we need to see it? We roster good players. But rostering good players isn’t enough. You have to build a WHOLE team 

I doubt there is anyone who doesn't want changes to the roster but you can  constantly run people in and out and you won't have success until you find a coach 

so get a new coach and make some changes to the roster.  
Adams has to do both this summer 

[GDT: Ottawa Senators @ Buffalo Sabres 3/27 7PM MSG and Radio]

I imagine the same people who are dumping on Power were the same people that wanted to trade Dahlin.  
wanted to waive guys like UPL and Mitts

hell, I even remember people wanted to trade JJP not long ago

This team needs to move on from every player on the roster.  All gutless pussies.  You can’t change a tigers stripes.  No one with any passion on the roster.

Don't you live in BC. ? What were they saying about them before Bruce was fired ?

Mike is right it’s mostly the roster. Coach will help but it’s significantly more on Adams 

Why? Why can so many others teams turn it around with the right coach but not the Sabres ?

They were barely alive for sure, but this game is ant home and against a division opponent.  Didn’t cozens just tweet something about connecting with the fans?   
 

This team quits.  You cannot trade them all.  You have to look at the coach.  

100%.  There is tons of evidence that a change in coach can make a significant impact on the teams performance 

need to look at the top of the NHL standings to find an example. 
Canucks were the leagues laughing stock just over a year ago.  
a coaching change , a couple of bottom line foot soldiers brought in.  They traded away a 40 goal scorer who was one dimensional.  Now the top team in the league

Florida.    Samson, KO, ERod, Montour 

[GDT: Ottawa Senators @ Buffalo Sabres 3/27 7PM MSG and Radio]

If DG is fired after the season, this is the game that drove the stake through his heart.    To come out this flat in a game of this significance is unacceptable.

Skinner is a 46.2% expected goal player 5 on 5 this year... Not great, but not terrible either.

On the other hand, here's our entire team 5 on 4. In what world do we buy this out.

It's unfortunate that the game isn't played on a spreadsheet I suppose
