Fireable offense in and of itself. I'm glad Meatballs was the guy after Raaaaaalph, he helped turn things around and really developed some of this young core (that I still believe in), but sometimes the message gets stale and a change has to be made. We're at that point with Granato.

If some kind of move (trade/firing) doesn't occur, I think we can safely assume Adams is okay punting on this season...which is unacceptable.

KA needs to awaken from his slumber and do something, the season is slipping into the abyss. I've been a big Adams supporter, but the standing pat routine is growing tiresome.

Cozens starting to look more like last year's Cozens. His line has been really good. Huh? I'd say he and Benson have been our best players tonight.

Rad.

Don't waste another good outing by UPL, fellas.

Let's go, boys; win the third.

Benson a standout again tonight.

Benson is fearless.

VO

Penalty shot VO. Helluva pass by Dahlin.

Rosen has been noticeable.

Nashville is bottom 1/3 of the league defensively and these guys can't even score on them.

This was supposed to be one of the most exciting teams in hockey. They were last year. Instead they're disjointed and boring. They've lost the plot.

Fire Granato. Same *****, different day.

I get and agree with KA's overall strategy to build from within/through the draft, and early returns (i.e. the end of last season) seemed to justify it. He's playing the long game, which I can appreciate, but this fanbase has been wandering in the desert for 12 long years. There's not going to be a lot of patience. He probably bit too hard on the team's success as last year wound down and decided to run it back with only minor tweaks. That approach clearly ain't working in the short term and more veteran help is needed. There is a glut of prospects in the system. It is stocked. Deal one or two of them and don't be miserly with the draft picks to go get these guys some friggin' help.

He's not 100% to blame, but a lot of these recurring issues are coachable. Pretty much this same team was playing great hockey in March/April, now they can't string 2 wins in a row together. I still believe in this roster (with some help in nets), but it needs a new approach.

Such a frustrating team. We're past 1/4 through the season, at what point do you do something to shake things up? I know not having Tage and Quinn is a blow, but these struggles are beyond that. Bring in a proven winner to coach (Gallant is tanned, rested, and ready) and go get a good veteran goalie to tandem with UPL; Comrie ain't it. The playoffs SHOULD be the goal and that ain't happening without some changes.

I think this team's gone as far as it can under Granato. Thanks for pointing the ship in the right direction, but it needs a new captain.

Cripes. Brutal.

Rat farts.

The Oilers are my "2nd team", I watch almost all of their games. Foegele would be a good, physical 3rd or 4th line winger that can score some. Would t mind picking him up. I don't think they part with McCleod.

I'm going to miss most of this one, going to see 'The Marvels.' I have faith that they boys will have me come out to a W. Sabres: 5-4.
