Management is definitely better in Boston. It’s not even close. That is not a debate. Counting on Buffalo to hire the right coach, better than Granato, I’d a huge gamble.

No. Firing coaches is one reason we are on this mess. He gets another year. Next year is playoffs or the conversation gets re-opened.

True. Missed him. He probably the most seasoned in playoffs. Skinner and Z never been there - pretty sad

I would have to say that Boston and Tampa are much less a work in progress than Buffalo. Just my opinion but they have far fewer question marks. Replacing Bergeron, although not easy, will be accomplished at some point. The sense of urgency to get better needs to increase. I’m talking about Sabres Management. Right up to March, the Sabres players outperformed their front office and coaches expectations. No one can convince me otherwise. You don’t become an experienced player in one year. No teams win Cups with a roster this young. Next year Quinn and Peterka and Power will still be inexperienced, just like Krebs and Samuelsson are this year. Given Adams comments on prospects and blockers we could be just as young next year.

His confidence. I would not play him right away.

Sure, most of us do like the core players. But you can’t fall in love with too many players on this roster because this team is still a work in progress. More players need to be replaced and more experience is needed. If we replace Anderson, Kyle, VO, and Z with talent from within we will be almost as young next season.

Greedy capitalist America, Very clever take.

Yes. My point exactly.

All the big, nasty, guys line up here on the right …

I fear they turn this over to Devon Levi and UPL next year.

How does it look like we have our goalie? What are you seeing? We are still at Tokarski/Dell levels of play.

True to a point, but how do you explain the losses to CBJ, Philly, and Nashville last night. They are getting killed by the lower tier teams too. Two members of this team have played real playoff hockey - Okposso and Anderson. Both are likely retiring after this season. A few other have a couple games. The veteran leadership is almost nonexistent. Will Adams address that?

Amazing how this “playoff run” turned into such a fiasco. Very fragile team, nothing in net, and a coach with no answers.

And where are they now?

Certainly they had pressure all their lives. They are all AAA and up players. They all fought to play the highest level they could. They were all stars as kids and they all played tournaments and such. The problem comes from not being prepared for the opponent. This is March, not October. The game is not the same. But recently, the goaltending has been so bad that they are following behind and then collapsing.

Hello Teammates, Punch checking. We had a fantastic dinner and night out in Key West. I caught the last 4 minutes. DEAD. No people, no noise, no life. Does not look like a team fighting for the playoffs. Can’t believe that was a Sabres home game. Check the Stats, Dahlin -2. Tage -2 with a goal and a fight. Probably not a real fight. I’ll look for a video. No goaltending again. Gave up 4 goals on 8 shots in the second. Wow. What a death spiral.

I would watch it, but I’m on vacation with my wife. We have 645 dinner reservations. No hockey until later. Go Sabres.

You need equity in the home. The amount you can borrow is a function of how much equity you have. To determine that, they subtract what you own on the house from their appraised market value. The remainder is the equity. The interest rates are market driven. Shop around.

Doubt that. Arizona sent him to the wherever they hit the best offer.

Me too. The type of defenseman I want to add should be veteran and more skilled on defending, playing PK, strong enough to clear out the front of the net, brave enough to get control of pucks under a forecheck, and skilled enough to make good breakout passes. Ok,I just described Rod Langway, but a basic version of him him would be nice. We have 26 and 25 to take care of the flashy stuff. Even Joker is in that mold. I like the Teppo, Lydman, McKee types.

Weaker opponents have beat us well.

Of course it’s good. You’re developing nicely. Now cut the cigarettes down to a half pack a day,and do 100 pushups and 100 sit ups every day this summer. Come to amp ready.

He said an its psychological as the explanation. How to fix it? No answer other than they have to figure it out.
