Eh, fair point. I've been thinking for a long time now that a new coach could conceivably get these guys on track and compete for the postseason. I think it's all too far gone at this point. Another year wasted after so much progress last. I agree 100% the next coach NEEDS to be an experienced coach who will whoop these guys into shape and hold them accountable. Brind'Amour would be a grand slam, Berube or Gallant 3-run home runs. Need a "name" that has won and knows wtf he is doing. No more on the job training.

I don't live near Buffalo, so I cannot speak to the pricing for Sabres games, but me, my wife, and our two daughters went to a Wild game back in December. All in, tickets, concessions, souvenirs, and parking, we easily spent $750. For one game. I'd imagine prices at Key Bank aren't significantly different from Xcel Energy Center. People spend a ton of money to go to these games. When you put out a ***** product for well over a decade, you should expect some backlash for poor performance. The players getting butt hurt about it is just another symptom of the total lack of accountability within this organization. Hell, I'd call it an outfit, not an organization. Don't want to get booed? Put a better ***** product on the ice. At least the Wild won the game we went to.

"One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: The Story of The 2023-24 Buffalo Sabres" Fire Granato.

That might have been my favorite moment from last season. Eff Tampa Bay. If they can't do it against those tomato cans, they never are.

I missed most of the game. Went out with the family this afternoon, had an early dinner at a Buffalo bar here in Omaha (had a terrific beef on weck), got back in time to see the tying goal and OT. I should do this more often.

Alright, who had Joker in OT on their bingo card?

My biggest beef with Granato's philosophy...zero physicality. Let's get that second point.

7 goals, then blanked the next time out. New coaches, plz.

And again...

Big save by Comrie.

Fourth shutout for Upie!

This is the same goalie that shutout Edmonton the other night. Hockey is weird.

If this was a serious hockey organization, they would get a good veteran coach in here to whip these guys into shape and apply some accountability for the results/effort on ice. This is not a serious hockey organization.

Some that come to mind: Tampa Bay Buccaneers missed from '83-'96 (14 seasons) Cleveland Browns 2003-19 (17 seasons) St.Louis/Arizona Cardinals 1983-97 (15 seasons)

Granato's specialty is supposedly offense, yes? We've seen stunning regression nearly across the board in that department. Why are we keeping him again? They're totally punting this season by sticking with him. Why should anybody pay to go to a game? Why should we as fans give a ***** at this point?

Nice kill, lads.

5 on 3. Rad.

I don't know about that. We're not exactly making him work...most of the saves look routine.

Look gassed.

Like that the power play is actually generating chances.

Back on the power play. Let's do it again, boys.
