That Sabresbuzz guy suggested Laine for VO, Bryson and a 3rd. I’m still 😂

Not my problem😀

Matt Canada punted by the Steelers. Probably saw the difference from Dorsey to Brady and finally decided to pull the trigger there.

The Sabres with a win in the month of November. Sabres and Bills win on the same day. One Buffalo Parade tomorrow😀 There was a play with 6 minutes left. Sabres were on the PP. puck went up the boards and two Hawks were there for an easy clear. Benson hustled back stripped the puck from both of them and got it to Okposo in front of the net for a good chance. Such a special play from an 18 year old kid. Every decision Cozens makes with the puck right now is the Wrong one. Kid needs a reset.

Pascal Vincent is either going to become a hero or lose his job pretty quick in Columbus.

No he’s a 4th liner at this point. I’m talking top 6 vet offensive catalyst. And I don’t think Kane is that guy at this point in his career either. 27-33 year old impact type.

The Sabres score zero greasy goals. They need to jam the net, stick in the slot and score some ugly goals.

They deserved a better fate tonight. They are definitely missing a couple veteran catalyst players that can settle things down and push at key times.

Well said. This is what I was alluding to. You just laid it out perfectly.

So John Gibson has a 2.19 gaa and a .927 sv% this season. After years of weak play has he suddenly found his game? I would bet it rests squarely on Anaheim playing a more solid defensive game and limiting chances against. Watching the Edmontons ,Torontos And Buffalos of the league believe that you can play wide open offensive hockey and be shabby in your own end and think you are going to get anywhere is comical. Atleast the Oilers and Leafs have tasted the playoffs. Until the Sabres realize and commit to playing a consistent sound defensive game it doesn’t matter who they draft, sign or trade for. They will be spinning their wheels and none of these young guys will develop as they should.

Simple Question This team seems no closer to even sneaking into the playoffs let alone doing damage. PP is a mess. They seem to be outworked, confused in their own zone. I just have no answers. I mean Boston are dominant with less talent because they play a solid system and consistently work hard. It is not that it is looking like 13 years of no playoffs, it’s that is doesn’t look like anything will improve moving forward. Sure there is a lot of young talent but it means nothing if there isn’t a successful system in place. They need a couple guys that just go to the net with reckless abandon. They score no greasy goals whatsoever.

If you fire Granato you are getting Appert as coach.

Terry might say Screw This and have both franchise up for sale by Christmas at this rate.

Rumour is Belichick will be the next coach after officially changing his name to “Bills” Belichick. He will be bringing along every former assistant coach who was a complete failure as HCs. 😜

The D is put together with band aids at this point. They are still grinding. The O has been a complete debacle with no major injuries. Let’s see if it was Dorsey or if it had been Josh.

Not win another game? Come on, it’s the Bills. They will beat KC and Miami just to drive everyone crazy.

Friedman says Florida is going really hard after Kane.

I imagine a massive Diggs meltdown is in the horizon and I really won’t blame him. They find new ways to embarrass themselves on the national stage. Something is very broken in Bills land and there are no quick fixes.

What an absolute mess of a team. They absolutely gave that game to Denver. I don’t know if Allen can lead a team anywhere. Just a mess in big games and big moments. They need a new coach who sits Allen down and says “you don’t get a say. I’m bringing in the best OC we can and you will follow his lead.”

Kane: “So who would I play with if I signed?” Adams: “ Well I don’t want to overstep and promise you time with Jost and Girgensons but let’s just say I could make that happen”😛

I think this is where most people are at. My excitement lies in the idea that if Kane signs then they have to get off the pot and make some other moves now to improve the team rather then just hoping everyone develops. One way or another it should mean the end of VO. If the only thing Kane does is improve the PP then it is an improvement over VO this season.

Whether Kane signs in Buffalo or somewhere else has anyone heard if he is ready to go ? Is it a case where he signs and steps into the lineup or does he need 2-3 weeks to ramp up at this point?

Lindholm, Hanifin, Tanev, Markstrom, Zadorov (no thanks) Calgary have some interesting pieces that should be available. If Buffalo want to shake it up and “go for it” the Flames would be a prime trading partner.

A Lot of Kane smoke right now between Andrew Peters. Wawrow and Chad D. If it happens you have to think some moves will be made. Kane is only coming if, as @tomwebster mentioned, he gets assurances that they are all in. Be interested to see what moves are made. Vet goalie, a Hanifin esqe stabilizer on the back end, bottom 6 centre that can win draws, addition to the coaching staff with an understanding of the PP. I wouldn’t move Kulich or Benson but the others are in the table for the right piece.

Granato doesn’t need to be fired but I would be looking at the assistant coaches. Whoever is running the PP needs to be removed. It’s an absolute mess. Like others have mentioned I was very disappointed that they couldn’t find a spot for Peca on the staff.
