  1. I think we need to get rid of the dead weight on this roster not the talent.... Girgensons, Okposo, Olofsson, E Johnson, Krebs, Jost, Jokiharju, Comrie, UPL and deal them for Eric Robinson clones... Guys who give their all every single game. There is no need for a drastic change yet unless it's like a player like Savoie/Γ–stlund or Rosen to go with another high priced player (Olofsson) for another player. There is talent on the roster, we need a disciplinarian to beat it out of them!
  2. There is no accountability anywhere from coaches, to players... The only shake up so far has been juggling lines and for some odd reason benching our best defensemen on most nights Ryan Johnson. Other than that not a single assistant coach has been let go, the power play is inept and yet whoever runs it continues to run it and same with the defense. At the very least bring in some better assistants who can help these guys because they're falling flat on their faces. I liked Don Granato developing the young talent on our team, I thought he did a masterful job getting the kids prepared but now when it comes to maturing their game I think this is beyond his expertise imo, we now need a hard nosed coach with solid assitants to help mold their game and fine tune them into better overall players. We have some pretty big players on the team and almost all of them are afraid to hit and get hit or stand in front of the net. We lose so many faceoffs, our goaltending is sporatic, way too inconsistent. Kevyn Adams has been abysmal at identifying the right veterans to pair with tthe youth, every single veteran is struggling probably because Granato's system or lack of is terrible but most likely because our vets are slow and on their last legs or just not very good. Okposo and Girgensons never should have been re-signed, we had opportunities to upgrade both and it back fired, we brought in 2 defensemen in Cifton and Johnson who were both benched in the Stanley cup playoff runs that they had. Also why in the world have we not gotten a veteran goalie worth a damn other than old man Anderson since losing Ullmark? You're telling me not 1 goalie wanted to start in Buffalo? I know Murray opted to stay in Ottawa or wherever he was at but I find it hard to believe we couldn't overpay a single goalie in 3 seasons and we put all our eggs in a rookie goalies basket which is never smart to do. I'd start with letting go of all the assistants responsible for the power play, PK and defense, in no way shape or form do i want Matt Ellis as this teams head coach when Granato is let go.
  3. I doubt he can finish the season, this was supposed to be a playoff contender. Every player besides 2 has regressed, do you really want to have these guys permanently playing like this? They will if Granato is still here until the end. I think he's close to being fired, not that I'm happy about it because I really liked the guy but it's clear he's not right for the job anymore.
  4. Unfortunately we all care, that's why we're on here. We care for something that isn't showing the same back and hasn't for 14? 15 years? but I feel your pain man.
  5. Or just dont go to the games, that would make your voice be heard even louder without even saying anything.
  6. So Ryan Johnson is up watching while Power, Clifton and Eric Johnson continue to get ice time, makes perfect sense!
  7. Come on let's get Macklin Celebrini so we can trade him to a Cup contender in 4 years!!!
  8. The entire team has regressed accept for JJP and Mittlestadt. That has to be a coaching problem, there is no other reasoning for it!
  9. I may hate this team worse then the tank team. How do you have no compete in your 20's?
  10. Eichel was never throwing down and Krebs would most likely get his ass kicked.
  11. Power is so soft, we need to toughen this dude up, 6'6" 220 lbs and afraid of any contact.
  12. What in the blue hell was that power play?
  13. We need a faceoff guy badly if we're running 4 lines.... Do we have such a guy in Rocha cha? If not is Pageau (NYI) or Bjugstad (ARI) available for trade? They are probably the only 2 players in the top 20 in faceoff % won that we could get on the semi cheap (Pageau not so much).
  14. Not going to lie, i was waiting for the collapse. Great all around game for them, I really wish they played like this every game, I'm not sure why they dont.
