Where is he going? He has 7 years on $8.35M. Who takes that?

Dam Power is struggling to even make a pass.

TNT crew brutality honest on Sabres lack of energy and soft game. They are standing around watching.

He is bad so far tonight.

They are terrible. Trocheck working over 33 and 25.

Drives to the net and draws a penalty from a rookie. Easy

I prefer sipping fine whiskey.

Another Phantom Sign Maker type comment. Sign worthy.

Lots of Ranger fans in all the good seats as predicted. Power again failing to clear on the PK.

Good evening Teammates, coming in a little late. No shots yet?

You have been quite optimistic lately. I just want them to get 2 points tonight.

I am glad it was nothing. I will be looking to see what "everything they got" looks like tonight. Both teams are on losing streaks and TNT should have some interesting takes on it.

There will be lots of college aged kids from NYC area enjoying great seats at rock bottom prices.

The existence of this thread makes Cozens the scapegoat of the season. I stand by my thought that he is not playing at a 2C level for the team, but he is not the only big problem either. They are asking more of him than he can give, its clear. Just play him down one line and let him get going. I fear that another woeful move from the Sabres woeful GM that will ship him out, and inevitably he will flourish somewhere else.

The problem with upgrading the HC right now is that the root cause of the problem is not fixed. Why does the Sabres organization continue to fail? the answer is not Lindy Ruff. You know the answer. Fix the root cause.

And he was picked as an Alternate Captain. Crazy.

By all accounts they are a clean cut group. No problems reported There just missing something on the ice. I wish the booing would stop but the fan frustration is understandable and not over the top. .

True. But I think Bots saw the bigger picture - such as playing at the cap floor for 2 years and still not being at the cap 4 years later.

sure. And it also occurs to me that there are probably a dozen really good players on the team, stuck in a losing culture, who had to play in poor coaching systems, and in an organization that that does not have the leadership and the know how to build a competitive team. Many, many players leave and have good careers, and some have great ones.

One of the knocks on the Sabres organization is the high level of turnover. They tried to stop that perception when they gave Granato a good look. Firing Lindy after 30 games will only keep the really good coaches and GMs further away. Besides, do you think Terry and Adams can run a coach search? They just showed us last off season that they are not willing, or able to perform a proper coach search. Berube was out there, he publicly said that he never got a call from Adams. He seems to be doing ok in Toronto. I have no desire to turn it over to Seth Appert either. Which is likely to be Adams next move. If Lindy goes then I want to see Adams go before him. I prefer they finish the season before they blow up another regime. After that - Hire a POHO. Let him hire the GM. Let the GM hire the coach. Let the coach hire his staff. Do it like normal teams do it for a change. Losing leads at home is a mental and physical weakness by the players. It was there before Lindy.

We just don't know. We don't know how hard he practices, we don't know how hard he works in the off season. We don't if the injury is still there or still in his head. Could be a slump, sophomore jinx, or it could be he doesn't have any more than what we saw. He did look like a smart and skilled young winger at one time so maybe he comes back to that? Right now he is hurting the team and they are better off playing Kulich.
