GDT Red Wings @ Sabres Tuesday Dec 5th 7:30 pm ET ESPN+ / HULU
Crusader1969 replied to Spoonman's topic in The Aud Club
You want to boil the entire seasons issue to shots on net in 1 period ?? Yes or no. Is a team that has that 3rd line a serious team??? -

It's unfortunate that "Do something Kevin" doesn't have a good ring to it as "Do something Darcy" did -

Booing means it's the players fault. I honestly don't think it is. A 3rd line of Rosen, Biro and Olofsson is only 1 mans fault -

Hopefully more and more start to feel this way. Adams failed his team, his coach and the fans big time not saying that DG shouldn't be far behind but Adams is first in line -

Same but I can turn off the emotion this is it for me tonight. I'm emotionally out until changes are made. I'll watch but refuse to care if they win or lose IF things don't change tonight -

If someone is at the game please start the FIRE ADAMS!! Chant going time for him to know the gun is pointed firmly in his direction. Do something Adams. Having a line of Rosén, Biro and Olofsson is a fireable offence. -
After The Whistle Goes OFF On The Entire Sabres Organization
Crusader1969 replied to sabremike's topic in The Aud Club
Dahlin all day and night. He needed to be captain this season but next year tattoo the C on his chest I think he is a warrior and is their most important Player going forward honestly though I think there are a lot of guys that can be part of a championship team already here and more to come BUT it's on KA to clean out the guys who shouldn't be here any longer -

I usually think the same but Rivet hit the nail squarely on the head on the podcast. I was just able to listen to it now and he is sooooo right. The next 2 months - Adams needs to bring needs to make 1 significant trade by acquiring a d partner for Power and a couple of smaller moves for 3rd /4th line guys who can play and will bring in a competitive nature to the club. Moves that should be obvious to everyone including Adams next season , bring in a big league coaching staff Do what it takes to get Brind'amour signed -

Crusader1969 replied to sabremike's topic in The Aud Club
Need to take the lead from European soccer clubs go to the game but stand and turn your back for 5 mins or something. Not going while holding tickets is a big ask No matter what they do, with almost half the crowd cheering for the opponent , would it even be noticed ? -
After The Whistle Goes OFF On The Entire Sabres Organization
Crusader1969 replied to sabremike's topic in The Aud Club
How easy would it have been for KA to build a 4th line? He had both Girgs and KO in expiring contracts. Could have easily let them both go and built a 4th line that would have given the team an identity they sorely miss. Girgs is ok but KO should have been brought back at no better than the 13th forward. His mind is willing but the foot speed just isn't there to be a consistent forechecker. I've said this before but this season was lost in the offseason EJ is good to bring in as the 6th / 7th dman vet presence Warning signs should have been flashing when Clifton was sent to the press box during the playoffs as a healthy scratch He was known as a heavy hitter but we just aren't seeing it. all we are getting is glaring poor defensive play. I hate reading long posts so I'll end it by saying GET TO WORK ADAMS!!! -
After The Whistle Goes OFF On The Entire Sabres Organization
Crusader1969 replied to sabremike's topic in The Aud Club
Totally agree. This is on KA more than Granato but I don't think KA feels any heat at all GMKA shouldn't leave his office till a trade that immediately improves their roster is completed -
Looking back, the season was lost before it even began by Adams 1) should have brought in a vet goalkeeper to pair with either Levi / UPL 2) should have found a replacement for Quinn in the off-season 3) should have filled the spots on the 4th line by signing the best available physical forecheckers available in UFA market. Would have been great to get someone who they could rely on to win a faceoff too. Hathaway was a UFA that he could have signed as an example 4) KO could have been signed as the 13th forward not regular Adams , like a lot of us, were blinded by last seasons results. I can openly admit I was wrong about this team I hope that Adams can admit it as well and make necessary changes today!

Sabres return Matt Savoie to WHL Wenatchee Wild

I completely disagree - development of prospects is one of the few feathers in the cap of the organization. -

It's not crazy. I'm really hoping that this is KA long term plan to be honest maybe that's why he isn't throwing a life preserver to Granato. Just letting him down slowly -

I'd like KA to throw him a bone and make a trade and help the roster before that move is made -

Crusader1969 replied to Shoot da Puck's topic in The Aud Club
You literally have no one else at this point. GMKA has failed us. I've been as patient as anyone but enough is enough. He needs to get something done to give them a chance. His plan was try to stay in it until Tage and Quinn return Now with Tuch going out and losing 3 in a row , he can no longer wait Get a deal done this week Overpay if you have to just get it done I'm done hearing him say I've been talking to everyone" "I'm in on every conversation". Time for action or another season will be lost 😡 -

Crusader1969 replied to Shoot da Puck's topic in The Aud Club
Just saw they are 1 point ahead of where they were last year so all is not lost ! IMHO, They need two pieces they don't have at the moment . ... a hard nosed 3 line winger and a true top 4 dman. neither are easy to find but if any team has the pieces to make a trade, it's the Sabres waive guys who don't want to compete - Olofsson I'm looking at you .....he scores as I write this 😀 KO needs to be the 13th forward I think they would be better off now with Dahlin as their Captain - he's should be their leader today not tomorrow and get back Quinn and Tage if things seem the same in another week - gotta fire DG -

Crusader1969 replied to Shoot da Puck's topic in The Aud Club
If they fire DG , which I think they should, they need to hire someone on an interim basis to finish out the year. I want to wait to see what happens with Brind'amour before hiring another full time coach. I feel bad for DG since KA hasn't done him any favours in helping the lineup BUT it's now unarguable that the team has took on his persona of being too nice. Adams shouldn't sleep until he makes a trade to help this team now !! -
Sabres return Matt Savoie to WHL Wenatchee Wild
Crusader1969 replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Thanks. I like the scheifle comparison. he never plays a full season in the AHL. he jumps right into the NHL and contributes right away after his 2 years in OHL. I can see Savoie, Kulich, Östlund and Rosen playing another season in AHL in 24/25
