Tage looking like Tage again. Good game for Levi. JJ keeps plugging along

“Most games ever played in the NHL without a playoff appearance...” 1. Jeff Skinner - 997 2. Guy Charron - 734 3. Rasmus Ristolainen - 713 4. Zemgus Girgensons - 680 The Pegula Era in a nutshell

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/paul-maurice-livid-after-panthers-clinch-playoff-berth-despite-loss-to-islanders/ Imagine having a coach livid after a loss even though they clinched a playoff spot. Imagine passion and accountability. I can’t since we haven’t had it in so long

It will be interesting to see how bad Lindstrom’s back injury actually is

Doug MacLean was on the radio in Toronto. He thinks that Torts is going to move upstairs and Philly and they will bring Berube in to coach the Flyers. Apparently Torts has wanted to move upstairs since his Columbus days.

I’m at the point right now that no other move would excite me. Who they draft: who cares, just a prospect that won’t reach full potential here Who they trade for: who cares, one or two players won’t move the needle of the rut that is this organization. Outside of firing Adams or at the least, firing the coaching staff and bringing in a proven successful respected coach I just don’t see anything changing at all. Seeing what the Vancouvers and Edmontons and Nashvilles and Winnipegs have been able to do with the right coaches is just beyond frustrating because you know at the end of the day Adams won’t pull the trigger on that kind of move.

A guy with no front office experience was hired to run the team because Pegula trusts and likes him. No POHO because Pegula doesn’t trust NHL people anymore and wants direct access to Adams. A coaching staff that would lead a team to middle of the pack in the ECHL. Bare bones scouting, especially pro scouting because who needs insight on how the other teams are doing. 13 years with no playoffs. Who else is in contention?

Adams needs to read the room. There is no way Granato and this staff can be brought back. Might as well pencil 5000 people in for Key Bank next season if they are brought back. Even bigger than sacking the coaching staff is the next step. It is time to get F’ing serious about being a competitive organization. a Seasoned, successful, respected head coach needs to be hired who in turn brings in a coaching staff that is NHL caliber. If the reality is that sacking Granato means introducing Matt Ellis as HC or just yanking Appert up then I’m about done with this team after over 40 years. Either get serious or get lost at this point. Enough of this 💩

You can’t have an ECHL quality coaching staff and expect to be successful in the NHL. For the first time under Pegula they need to hire a seasoned NHL staff top to bottom that demands accountability.

It still is. He never put a deadline on it🤪

Donny and pulling goalies, be it when the score is getting away from them or pulling the goalie for the extra attacker, is always a 💩 show

I agree with this. Coaches don’t need to give a fire and brimstone speech before every game. These are professional men making huge money. Have some pride and show up ready to play a game. Take some pride

One more before the period ends and we might have a game

I wish the fans would stop booing. The players want to love playing here but they’re not going to love those boo birds.😜

Can you imagine if he walked out on the bench to start the 2nd wearing that jacket?😃

How many of these “I hope this is the final straw that causes the coach or GM to be fired” games have we been through over the past 13 years? It just seems to be WAY too many for any fanbase to put up with.

Embarrassing Terry on his birthday. This isn’t going to end well😂

Can’t wait for Donny to break out the “There was a lot to like about that game tonight” again in the presser

Adams in the dressing room: “Now we all know it’s the owner’s birthday today guys so let’s go out there tonight and show him what we think of him!! 😜

Adams get down to the bench and fire the entire staff before the period is over. Granato looks like a corpse behind the bench. Where the F is the passion?

Skinner can produce points when he gets hot. I think he needs to go because his $9 million needs to be used for the UPLs, JJs and Quinn’s of the world. Krebs can go as well. If Russo is correct and the Wild are looking to move Rossi I would hope the jump on that. His 2 way game is great and would really compliment Tage and Cozens while Östlund marinates.

Uh 2 inches😜 Probably Krebs isn’t a good fit. But if you are bringing in a Rossi Krebs is probably done. I think Joker would be the better offer. A younger RHD that can play top 4. Don’t know if the Sabres can fit him in on a long term deal. This is all hypothetical but if they did bring in a Rossi then Savoie would probably be out the door in another deal. Benson and Rossi would be your 5’9 quota for a team.

Win one for the owner boys😛
