If Brady is fed up with the losing and an organization that can’t figure it out he would be absolutely THRILLED to be traded to Buffalo😜

This game is what makes this year so frustrating. The pieces are here. We are getting consistent goaltending. The regression of the PP is just mind blowing. I put the failure of this season at the feet of the coaching staff. With the offensive talent they have to see the PP be that awful is inexcusable. What makes Brindamour so impressive is that their goaltending is nothing to write home about and they really don’t have a lot of weapons up front but Rod gets them ready to play every night and they play a system that allows them to be opportunistic when they need to. And their special teams are both tremendous. I think if you take this Sabres roster as is and add Brindamour and his staff that this team is in the playoffs right now.

WE HAVE A GOALIE!!!!!!! lets make it 10 in a row!😃

I posted that offer because that is what they would ask for. Who is the guy reporting maturity issues? An insider or some ham and egger fan on twitter? Even if true he might be inmature for what they need as a captain but be fine as a guy in the room. I know him and Dahlin became fast friends at the draft stuff and he and Mitts are buds. I would be surprised if they moved him but even more surprised if it was in division. What if they wanted Quinn (Ottawa junior) Peterka (buddies with Stutzle) and Levi? This type of deal would have to hurt. He does bring a game the team could really use.

Ottawa asks for Cozens, Quinn, Kulich and Levi.

EVEN if they were considering moving Brady I highly doubt it would be in division. This would be a Western Conference type trade. And what would they even be looking for?

Please explain if it is on UPL. If he is number 1 in .GAA and sv% he is giving the team a chance to win each game. Do you expect him to score the goals needed to win the games too?

Thats not on him thought that’s on the rest of the team

Peterka and UPL have really been the bright lights this season

The one big positive this season has been UPL. This is the guy from Sudbury in the OHL and the WJCs. I think this is him moving forward. I have really enjoyed watching him tend net this season. So poised and comfortable in the crease.

We have him, he’s Brett Murray

So you think they should present these players participation medals after every loss with the fans giving them a standing ovation as they skate off the ice? This isn’t Peewee hockey. They signed multi million dollar, long term deals when most of them haven’t earned them yet. And they have 💩 the bed this season. Grow up and earn your money like everyone else that has a job has to do.

That was his response when Jeremy White brought up the story about the stick salute

From Reddit, some comments from Granato from this morning’s radio interview. “We’re on our way to making the fans proud”😳🤬 -Granato talks about his experience as a scout, and always having scouted the Sabres, and wanting to take his experience to make the fans proud; he believes we're on our way to making fans proud. Jeremy points out the Harrington article about the boos, and "Fire Donny", and lack of saluting. Granato's response is that the boos hurt. They hurt because the players care. The Sabres pride themselves over playing in Buffalo and to be booed has hit them hard for that reason. No one wants to let the city down, but now it's affected them despite their best efforts to play through the boos. Things like this can't affect your play, but these guys care.

I never said rebuild. Not a tear down at all. They need to move guys out and move others in. If Adams is willing to bring a new, vet coaching staff in then that would be a big start. This group needs structure and accountability. The young kids need to learn how to play the proper way and the sacrifices needed to be a successful team. They can’t keep this group and add a couple more kids next season. They need some different vets in here.

Well this gives me a great sense of relief. Instead of getting frustrated I’ll just wait or it to come back.

This summer has to be a massive overhaul from the top of the organization on down. They talk about culture, there needs to be a culture overhaul. This can’t be Adams is back, Granato is back, we have switched an assistant coach. There needs to be a complete overhaul of the philosophy and way they build the team. New leadership on and off the ice. If Pegula loves Adams then promote him to President and let him talk to Pegula all the time. Bring in a seasoned GM that has a vision and brings in a seasoned coaching staff that demands accountability. Okposo, Girgs, Skinner need to go. Skinner will be tricky to move but find a way. Sink some money into seasoned vets that can still contribute and add grit and leadership. The most frustrating part is that the bones of a competitive team is here already. I just don’t trust Adams to add the right pieces to push it forward.

I was at the game today. Levi looks like college Levi😃. Keep him down for the season facing a ton of rubber. Marlies goalie made a couple of unreal saves but I thought Levi was really impressive for the Amerks. They said the Marlies had 53 shots but I didn’t see 53 shots on net. I think they were generous with the counting but regardless it was a really reassuring game for him. Let him keep building off it.

Did they raise their sticks to salute after the loss?

Yeah who cares. If the players don’t want to put in the effort to win regularly then so what? If the organization doesn’t want to make the playoffs for 13-20 years then so what? If the organization wants to continue to raise the prices on tickets for fans to come and sit through this garbage year after year after year then so what? If the fans finally say enough is enough and there are 2000 fans in the building next season then so what? If Terry gets fed up with the lack of fan support and sells the team to Salt Lake City then so what?
