Overwhelmed again… Granato has no response… Our guys have no pride… Getting beat in every measurement… Start checking… Create some energy…
Granato and the players. He’s not the one that isn’t skating hard, losing coverage, and not shooting. Granato lost this team a long time ago.

“If you watch our games we put in a lot of effort” - Alex Tuch, literally
This team will go deep in the playoffs when proper construction relegates TNT to 2C and Tuch to 3W. Not saying they are bad players but neither are top liners on a contender IMO.

Zero intensity. I’ve been on the fire Donny bandwagon but some of these players need to go.

I think we know how this one ends.

VO really is a wimp. Crushed by Quinn Hughes.
He really is. Softer than baby 💩

Levi giving up a lot of dangerous rebounds.

Well, Rivet said the kid was hungry to prove himself. I’m more worried about the team winning so let’s get UPL in there.

Second PP unit had nobody in front. Bunch of perimeter play.

I don’t want Levi in net but here’s hoping he steals a win.

What I don't understand is how people who supposedly have eyes to read
and ears to listen can continue to make mistakes that the (once) majority
does not.Rob Ray will say, "I had went to the bar" or "the puck had came out to
the point." These should be: "I had gone to the bar" and "the puck
had come out to the point". It's called the "Past Perfect".I found these explanations online:
--
"There are four past tense forms in English:
Past simple: I worked
Past continuous: I was working
Past perfect: I had worked
Past perfect continuous: I had been working"
(https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/english-grammar-reference/past-tense)---

The following is a list of Irregular Verbs in English:
Verb Past Simple Past Participle
==========================================
arise arose arisen
babysit babysat babysat
be was / were been
beat beat beaten
become became become
begin began begun
[snip]...
win won won
withdraw withdrew withdrawn
write wrote written
==========================================
* HANG - Hang has two different meanings. The first is "to attach (or hang) something in a high position" (e.g. on the wall or on a hook). In this case we use the above verbs Hang-Hung-Hung.BUT when Hang means "to kill someone by putting a rope around someone's neck and leaving them in a high position without any support", we use different verbs: Hang-Hanged-hanged. This verb is typical of public executions in the past. (e.g. They hanged him in the main square.)
** LIE - Lie has two meanings. When it means "to put your body in a horizontal position" (normally on a bed) it uses the Lie-Lay-Lain verbs.
BUT it is regular Lie-Lied-Lied when it has the other meaning of "not to say the truth". [Etienne - for 4 thousand years Indo-Europeans have been able to properly distinguish between these two usages, but Americans in the last 40 years have seemingly lost this ability.]

I'll mention another more common problem. The infinitive. This is the "to [verb]"
form, such as "I want *to* eat lunch" or "I will try *to* ignore bad grammar".
So many people say the illogical "I will try *and* do something"; this would
imply that you can read the future because you are starting that you *will*
in fact do something instead of just "trying" to do something.Here's another problem to mention. It's not "where you *at*?". It is
entirely sufficient, and always has been, to simply ask "where are you?".
In general, it is poor English to end a sentence with a proposition.
In this particular case, it is entirely unnecessary and only serves to
distinguish the talker/writer as poorly grounded in English *fundamentals*.I could do this all day long.
It's not "an invite", it's "an invitation".
It's not "he has high compete", it's "he has a high level of competition".Blah blah blah.
Learn English, folks. I did.
Sorry but the best part of this post is you put a lot of effort into it just to get one single thumbs down from @Doohickie. 😆

This is a tough question. Given the small sample I say they’re tied. Dahlin has the creativity, puck control, and vision. Byram has more offensive IQ. Byram actually seems to be quarterbacking PPs even with Dahlin on the ice.
Defensively, Dahlin is more physical and composed. Byram is more tenacious.

The team hasn't looked back since ditching EJ and KO. Hopefully Adams has learned a lesson for next year's free agency period.
Every team has veterans and cup winners, but only one can win.
The team with the best combination of talent and heart wins. No veteran can teach that.
All this over a three game win streak at the end of a season where the team WILL NOT make the playoffs. Almost sounds like you are saying the team lost so many games because of KO and EJ 😂. Could be because…
-TNT and Tuch are a shell of what was expected.
-Skinner is useless outside of the O-zone.
-Power is softer than baby 💩 and is a third pair guy making first pair money.
-Levi should never have put on a Sabres uniform this year.
-Cozens got his face caved in being something he is and will never be then had zero confidence for a quarter of the season.
We can keep going but KO and EJ’s departure and the current streak are coincidental. Maybe, just maybe, enough guys started to figure things out recently.
-Levi is not in net (positive)
-UPL is on fire.
-Tuch actually has a pulse.
-Power has been more disciplined and responsible.
-Byram is our new second best DMan.

Maybe one of the Sabres on the ice will get run. I’d like to see what they’d do
Nothing. Johnson fought to defend a teammate one game. Then he gets buried into the boards another game and nobody does anything.
-
I was hoping a Sabres player would run Reimer. I say we trade for Rempe in the offseason, put him on the fourth line. Sometimes a PP goal against is a small price to pay for sending a message that protects your players. Complaining like Skinner means nothing when the other team is running key guys.
"Gentlemen, you don't have enough talent to win on talent alone."

For whatever reason, Skinner is fading. Recently, he's become an invisible player on the ice with little impact. I don't know what the problem is but we need him to get going.
Playoffs are not happening and he should be off the team. Doesn’t matter if he scores the rest of the season so long as he is gone this summer.
-
So we offload Girgs, VO, and Comrie in the summer? Maybe Skinner?
-
Get rid of Skinner for whatever we can get. The one constant between a bad Sabres team and formerly bad Canes team is Skinner. Too one dimensional.
Reliable backup for UPL.
Third line center. It’s not Krebs.
An upgrade to Tuch, if possible. Peterka should replace Skinner. Tuch is a middle six guy so we need a different RW on the top line. Skating big circles and lolly gagging isn’t what Quinn and Cozens do so Tuch goes on the third line with Greenway.
Benson and some prospects compete to fill Peterka’s current spot.
In total, 1RW, 3C, backup goalie, fourth line winger. All three skaters need to be vets, 25 to 30.

This team needs some type of veteran presence. Tuch, Skinner, and Girgs don’t count. Need guys with playoff experience to guide these younger players through the season because they know what it takes. This learn as a group thing is dumb.
