Believer

Really??… I follow the Sabres not other NHL teams… Just not informed enough to answer your question… Perhaps you are… Who do you think KA is targeting??…

Who to sign??… KA has shown he is willing to sign experienced talent to accelerate the rebuild… His scouts have targets… Question is will Pegula be willing to pay for it… As for Granato’s expectations… the flat first periods over the last four games speak volumes… If he is giving a “winning effort every night” message to the team…especially last night with a chance to sweep and break a three game losing streak… they are tuning him out… At this stage, given his focus on player development, prefer to think he hasn’t emphasized enough win message… To think otherwise means he isn’t connecting with the team in the locker room… My bet this is not the case…

Don’t think anyone is suggesting flushing the DG/KA team yet… Think what some of us are suggesting is 1) KA and Pegula putting more emphasis on expectations… on winning by adding a few more players from winning Cup programs 2) Granato putting more emphasis on expectations… on winning despite our youth and roster holes Step up the rebuild with smart, active management by the owner, the GM, and the Coach…

We have 40 points and 31 games left… if we can win at least 10 games… 30%… we can take a step to building a Win Culture… even in the first rebuild year…

Go to the Sabres website and look at the shots by period… distance… and pattern… This is a coaching issue…

17 blocked shots to our 7… That’s commitment to responsible defensive zone play…

Embarrassing… Granato needs to have a better explanation for tonight’s play other than youth, development, ad nauseam… We were outplayed for 60 minutes by the last place team in the NHL… And we had a chance to sweep the series…

Just lazy inexcusable play… Get the bags out tomorrow, Granato…

Passing not shooting…

Start with coaching that motivates play…

Maybe what they need…

We miss Okposo’s no quit effort and fearless shot…

Thompson Tuch Skinner no shows tonight…

Shooting gallery… Anderson must be exhausted… Getting no help tonight…

What a way to start a three game road trip…

Whatever…

Too quick to pass in the zone instead of shooting… Too man passes broken up with no shot… Infuriating habit of this team now…

He needs at least one more punch in the face in this game…

Fitzgerald one tough kid…

Nobody in the slot to take the pass…

That’s more like it…

Dahlin loves that hip check…

Should have shot… Geezus…

Like what I see with Biro…

Chance to sweep… You’d think Granato would have had them hyper motivated to play… We are throwing up all over ourselves…
