There is no such thing as a referendum game because there are no standards to be met. They could go out and lose 12-0 and then lose every remaining game on the schedule and nothing will happen.

Brind'Amour? Or any experienced coach?
Brind'Amour is a long shot I agree. Not absolute zero but near zero.
There would be experienced coaches willing to come to Buffalo though, I'm certain of that. There are currently three coaches available who coached in the NHL playoffs last season (Gallant, Woodcroft and Evason), a guy who won a Stanley Cup 5 years ago (Berube). Some will get snapped up by other teams of course, but there will be more who join the list of unemployed (the list of high-end coaches who may be vulnerable to being fired after an early playoff exit is actually pretty long). There won't be enough chairs for everyone. If we want an experienced coach with a history of 45+ win playoff seasons, we will get one so long as we are willing to let Donnie go and pay what it would cost to bring in an experienced winner.
Would you work for an organization that has a GM whose only qualification for the job was being a loyal sycophant of the least successful owner in hockey history?

I think the most likely outcome is that the Sabres stink for the rest of the year, DM is fired (but not KA) and a real coach with a legit NHL resume is brought in over the summer. If we're very lucky it will be Brind'Amour.
But the rest of this season will be painful.
The chance of this happening is -459.67: Absolute zero.

Another day, another Rochester loss. Nice to see they are in complete freefall just like the parent organization.

Those RJ patches should be torn off all those jerseys because this pathetic unlikable bunch is unworthy of wearing them.

I would gladly trade our next 3 firsts to the Flyers in exchange for Torts.

They are really playing with fire having a go at the fans because if they get curbstomped by the rags and then again by the broooonz at home boy are they going to hear it.

Colorado Rockies, literally bribed the Cardinals to take their best player.
Detroit Pistons are on a 25 game losing streak.
Oakland As are getting moved after 20 years of getting cheaper every year.
The NY Jets have just as long of a playoff drought as well as a literal loon at QB.
Arizona Coyotes who lack a legit stadium and have multiple times got into hot water over not paying staff and/or players.
Pittsburgh Pirates are just too cheap to get anywhere.
The Indianapolis Colts owner is literally bonkers
The KC Royals have the worst record in baseball since 2007 and have been terrible in all but 2 years in which they won and lost a World Series strangely enough. Also super cheap ownership.
I could probably think of more but I’m tired of listing already. And that doesn’t even include European franchises.
THIRTEEN ***** YEARS WITHOUT MAKING THE PLAYOFFS IN A LEAGUE WHERE HALF THE TEAMS QUALIFY.
We are the undisputed toilet of American/Canadian sports. Anyone arguing this is just lying to themselves.

We all are. Him and Kim answered this 7 or 8 years ago. The team will be going to the oldest daughter, from Terry's first marriage, a rabid fan like her dad. Short memory?
I have a question: WHY DON'T THEY PUT HER IN CHARGE RIGHT NOW? MIKE BROWN PUTTING HIS DAUGHTER IN CHARGE OF THE BENGALS IS HOW WE BECAME A SERIOUS CREDIBLE FRANCHISE, WHY CAN'T TERRY DO LIKEWISE????????????????

To be honest I'd rather see Krebs on that 3rd line; I think he's more likely to be able to make that a scoring line than Jost. (Prove me wrong, Jost.)

If they don't win tonight I really don't want to hear anyone trying to pretend the season isn't dead and buried.

Could possibly add owner to the group of changes. Where is our owner by the way. I know with Kim's health ect. it's been a tough period but you still need to once in awhile be in the same area code. Second thought maybe absence isn't necessarily bad.
If word got out that Pegula has nothing to do with day to day operations except signing the checks it would do more to turn the image of the organization than anything. His constant idiotic meddling is why this team is where it is.

Started the year allowing 12 goals in two games.
Now he sports a 2.57 gaa with 2 shutouts in his last 5 games but he is slightly under .900 save %.
Wonder if the coach with a track record of success a mile long has anything to do with this???
Nah!

I'm not one at all for making change 'just because' or 'to see what happens'.
But I'm starting to go to the point of swinging on a big trade. Like a BIG trade. I'm not sure who would be avaiable, but a forward in their prime (24-28 years old) who is known as a hard worker, puts up consistenly 25+ goals per year, and has been on a winning team (preferably one where the forward play good Defense). If you have to trade a Roster guy AND 2 of your top prospects, so be it. Savoi, Kulich, and Mitts? go ahead.
Why? I am more and more convinced, despite the shutout last night, that this team doesn't know how to play team defense and NO coaching staff is going to get it through their heads. Vet guys like Okposo and Girgensons? Honestly, they never were on a team where THEY were even taught how to play team defense.
Maybe you don't even need to pay that much, but how about Nazim Kadri or Lindholm from Calgary? Both of them?
I personally saw the Doug Weight Islanders, the single most defensively incompetent team I have ever seen in my life. The defensmen on those teams made ours look like the cup winning Devils ones. Then one day they hired some guy named Barry Trotz.
You'll never guess what happened next...
This coaching staff sucks and would never have been hired by any of the other 31 teams. There are numerous coaches out there with long track records of success. All that our owner needs to do is call one of them and offer them the right $ amount and everything would change overnight. It really is that simple.

Love people pretending Donny is Al Arbor for one getting a team to the dizzying heights of 19th best in the league.

Having a go at the players is a classic example of focusing on the symptom and not the cause.

Yeah it wasn’t much different before the Avs game.
I do like how the KBC has turned into the Roman Colosseum.
Go to any other arena in the league in the US and you will be struck by just what a toilet KBC is. There are numerous AHL arenas that are nicer.
