He also refuses to coach team defense.

Oh man, I can't take another year of lottery nonsense.

Well I think I will when I disagree with your takes. That how message boards work.

So sick of this excuse. They are young by choice. There is no reason a rebuild requires 3 entire seasons being thrown away. This is the 4th GM in a row that this franchise has hired who is way too comfortable burning seasons for some future that never materializes. Sabres fans have Stockholm syndrome from the franchise's historic run of ineptitude, but it's important to remember that the NHL is not a developmental league. Fans of a franchise should be able to look forward to more than just prospect porn.

If this team can only perform in a certain jersey, it's time to flush this group and start another rebuild. Maybe they just need their blankies and binkies.

I would argue that we've been in this type of situation for the last 12 years.

Sens up 3-1 in the 1st against the Kraken. Chychrun with a goal and an assist.

Yeah, the Sabres get a new coach. (It's a joke; I'm kidding)

They have an old soul.

Don't worry about the result, the important thing is that this team loves playing together. Throw away another couple of seasons, they might be good then.

Man, I want Cozens to be the next Peca or Drury so bad (with a wrapped up contract).

Solid D. Don't see the adds really helping the playoff run this season or closing the gap with Boston and Tampa next year. Adams had the picks, prospects, and cap space to drive the trade deadline, but chose not to. Will be interested to see what he can do to close the gap with the better teams during the off season.

The excuse "We're building our team now without sacrificing our future" plays just as well in the off season as it does at the trading deadline.

Fans are aware of the plan, but judging by the comments in favor of making any type of move to address the team's apparent shortcomings, most don't completely agree with the plan.

With the intent to bring Schenn back, it's hard to believe that Vancouver would give up a better draft pick just to make Schenn happy. It's straight-up malpractice. With due respect, I still feel that Adams could have had Schenn if he wanted him. Adams wasn't willing to pay the price.

They sent him across the country to Toronto. How is that any different than sending him to Buffalo in terms of distance from his pregnant wife? Vancouver would have turned down a late 2nd in favor of Toronto's late 3rd to keep Schenn less than 90 miles closer to BC?

Playoff coach.

1-4 the last 5 home games. Outscored 27-16.

Needs to make up for that play with a goal

Montreal, Vancouver, Arizona

They have lost games like this with Dahlin in the lineup.

All of them. The entire team lacks urgency, grit, and finish.

Right, it's ALL on Power. The whole team is playing with no urgency. Thompson has as many give aways as Power tonight.

No excuses. This is a no-show. Team needs to focus less on the comedy skits and more on urgency night in and night out.

This team could use a couple more veterens to kick the young guy's a##es when they no-show for a game like this.
