All I remember is that Bennett couldn't do a single pullup at the combine! I think that helped sway everyone in Reinhart's direction

Where's Shawn Hochuli??

Ugh. Skinner had MItts wide open for a tap in

Lol... No, I am really cleaning my golf balls!!! More entertaining

I decided to clean my golf balls instead of watching tonight and damn happy about my decision. I am however, enjoying the comments! 😀

He'll point out that after 2 periods, statistically we had ZERO giveaways.... Yay.... Success!!!

Yep... There's building through the draft and then there's just utter stupidity. These kids are nowhere near NHL ready but year after year this appears to be his "plan". It's like he views these kids as NFL draftees but they are not even close to being physically ready for this.

I wouldn't call it rejoicing... Not sure what to call it. He makes Pat Kaleta look like Cal Ripken and when he's been on the ice, he hasn't exactly looked good this year. No sure what his deal is but he was supposed to be a long term solution on the blueline but he's become yet another part of the problem.

Because people don’t like to be proven wrong. I truly believe KA is convinced this type of roster will succeed at the NHL level.

Agreed… At this point I truly believe it’s just pure ignorance on KA’s part. Injuries are gonna happen and he never seems to have a plan in place. The speed game can only work for a game or so before they get ragdolled, which is what I gather is happening tonight. This club doesn’t have a shot in hell at the playoffs again this year and won’t be any closer next year, unless checking is eliminated

I refused to even watch after seeing the lineup for tonight. What’s the average size and age of our forwards?? 5’9 160 lbs and 20 yrs old. Don’t know how KA thinks they can be competitive with nothing but midgets in the pipeline.

We are just allowed to have nice things…EVER

They lack competent players to run any kind of PP other than a Tage one timer from the faceoff circle. That’s really all they’ve known how to do with this current regime. They lack the size and/or toughness to crowd the net and other than Dahlin, nobody on the point can even get a shot through. Skinner does pirouettes, Tuch tries to skate through everyone, Mitts does a good job in the corners but can’t pass to anyone bc they’re always standing still. VO does what VO does. Power holds on to the puck too long then loses it. And when KO is on the PP, albeit the second unit, you know you are void of NHL talent to make any sort of PP work. Oh…and then there’s Matt Ellis running things. 🫣

That OT goal is on Cozens. WTH is he out there in these situations??

He needs to do that “in the moment”. That call was so bad that who cares if he gets an unsportsmanlike penalty. Maybe the emotion would start rubbing off and they would start showing up more than just the last 10 minutes of the game

I’m more pissed that Granato didn’t stick up for his guys there. Like you said, take a fine and show some emotion.

Did he even get upset? He should’ve been throwing sh$t on the ice.

Does Cozens ever stay on his feet after a faceoff??

Wouldn’t mind seeing Samuelsson or Power sit a few

May not score another PP goal again this year

Sabres bad PP v Jets bad PK… who wins tonight??

For sentimental reasons, I'd love to have Kane come here and lead us to 8th place. But in all honesty, even if his hip is good, do we really want another perimeter player that won't get his nose dirty? I mean, he might help the power play, but we still don't have a front of the net presence. Maybe watching Kane and Skinner figure skating in circles in the offensive zone will put more people in the seats!

In all fairness, this group wasn’t making the playoffs with Thompson. Pegula will definitely not allow firings happen anytime soon. He wouldn’t want the negative attention of pink slips at One Bills Drive and Sabreland. It would give the appearance that the sh$t is going south with both franchises.

I am all for getting rid of Granato. I honestly don't think he knows what he got himself into. Unfortunately, if you get rid of DG, you kinda have to blow up the roster because for the most part, they have his demeanor. And the big problem is, too many of the assets in the pipeline are basically the same player with a different name on the back. Size doesn't matter with this group. They all play on the outside and don't have the intestinal fortitude to get to the dirty areas consistently. Something has to give because this team is in jeopardy of implosion after 16 games. Can't wait til the trade deadline. We may see a spark here and there, but this team is definitely not built for the grind (hence the injuries).
