Poor Erik Johnson, the only guy with some cajones to anti up. This Buffalo Sabres squad is sad and evenif they did scratch into the playoffs, they'd get run out of the rink. Until coaching changes are made, I expect no playoffs.

He's done a hell of a job as Canucks coach though. I'd take him as coach of this soft Sabres team.

Zadorov with a nice hit on Cozens. Too bad things didn't work out with him in Buffalo. I's like him back!

And he was soft on the puck clear just now allowing Vancouver to maintain possession which lead to Samuellson having to ice it. He allowed the Canuck player to catch him from behind when he had time to move the puck out of the zone or shoot it out.

Hasn't it always been that way? Montreal gets the Montreal calls in La Belle Province!

Damn right. He'd be stapled to the bench for the third period, irregardless of the All-Star nod earlier today!

I'd love to see what would ensue if he pulled that with Gallant or Torts as head coach!

Torts is a good coach. Rough around the edges but he holds players accountable. Love Torts!

Absolutely. People are down on Power and I get it, but I won't throw in the towel on the kid because he is talented. He just needs a serious coaching staff tohelp him mature and use the skills he has. Defense has been horse #### with this club for over a decade now and each new coaching staff refuses to address it properly. Again, I believe there is just way too much talent in the dressing room tp be in the spot they're in. It is being completely pissed away with this coaching staff. Any of these young guys moves on from this club and you'll see "what could have been" yet again.

I'm in full agreement with your post. It has been terrible coaching choices for over a decade now. Too much talent in that dressing room and it is being completely wasted. Sickening.

Totally agree. Having Granato and staff stick around means more of the same old same old. No point to that either. I totally believe this mess is on coaching and has been for the past decade. The talent is there in my opinion but it needs a new direction (and perhaps a harder direction) This is spinning your wheels stuff now. Zero reason to keep Donnie and staff.

Oh I agree. Berube just may be able to write his own ticket. I still prefer Gallant (which is the real reason I said I'd be willing to accept Berube) Basically, I'd like a coach who is a bit harder on the boys and will hold them accountable for their play. Not to make excuses for them. In other words, a little more "old school". I'd be happy with either guy. Very happy.

and the Nolan teams were accountable to each other and busted their ass, game in and game out. I went to many of those and those games were entertaining.

I think any of us that bother to post, or read the posts of others on this site care about the Buffalo Sabres. However, as you continue to see the same results for the past 13 seasons under different coaches, GM's etc. and to see a team, that in my opinion, has some solid talent and promising youth in the organization, you start to tune out and find other things to do with your life. Until serious changes are made bringing in some veteran knowledgable hockey people (the current process of giving unproven individuals the head coaching jobs and GM positions just isn't working) expect more of the same as we squander a decent full cupboard of talent. Again, just my opinion, but Donnie G (and I do like the guy) isn't working out and neither is Kevyn. I would be more interested in investing my time in this club if they were replaced. Playoffs weren't happening and I still stand by the Sportscentre US Thanksgiving stat. If you aren't in a playoff spot by then, the odds are heavily against you. Quinn's return won't be enough to right this ship this season. The playbook on playing the Sabres is out: Bring a heavy game and you will defeat them.

At this point, I would be willing to accept Berube as head coach as he would be tough on the players. This crap has to stop at some point and accountability throughout the organization has to occur, for any serious meaningful change. Until a decent head coach is in place, expect exactly more of the same. There is talent in this organization and it is being squandered.

Look at the Oilers now after they made theirs.

Great movie! One of my all time favs!

Truth, they play like it's a pick up game or scrimmage. No system. Unbelievable.

I remember when that chant was a positive for the Sabres! Ahhhhh, the good old Memorial Aud days!

Wow this team is bad. Scary bad.

Again, Gerard Gallant anyone? Would he be willing to coach this mess? (he's still getting paid, so there's no desperation on his part)

I thought for sure they were going to screw the Sabres again.

Holy cow! I stand corrected absolutely! C'mon Sabres, don't let this one slip!!! A full regulation 2 points needed. UPL has had a decent game, get him a W!!!!!!!!

Pitt will play that perfect road game now. Wait for another Sabres mistake and kill time.

2-0. This one is over. I see nothing threatening offensively from this Sabres club tonight.
