He does nothing well at the moment. What I would LIKE to see is a recommitment to playing defense first. When everything you do is not working, then simplify and focus on one thing first, get it better and then maybe broaden your horizons. IMHO - Power needs to better in his own zone as the first priority. The question is whether the coaching and/or a partner exists on the team that can help him achieve this.

The odd thing here is that the turnover in GM's and HC's has been fairly frequent over the years, meaning no real stability in the management. That said, Pegula keeps hiring MEDIOCRITY, which results in that frequent turnover. So yes, Pegula tolerates mediocrity because that is all that he hires.

My answer to the question....not until the off-season. DG has a contract for another 2 seasons, so Pegula might eat the $4 million then. The challenge is finding an experienced HC with a proven record that would be willing to take over this mess. Player changes will take the form of our FA's leaving and replacing them with bargain basement acquisitions.

Adams is holding out unless somebody offers a first rounder for him....kidding, but I don't doubt that he has a minimum price that the other 30 teams feel is ridiculously high and so we're stuck with him until we get nothing but a 5th rounder at the deadline.

TNT guys staying not enough "effort and battle" from Buffalo....they're being kind as far as I'm concerned.

Anybody jealous of Boston.....they have two #1 goalies.....while we have.....one #2 and two #3's.

Lot of gliding going on by the Sabres there....even with the empty net

Maybe a Domino's emergency pizza is needed?

Part of me is actually a little disappointed.....I was envisioning getting blanked in hopes it might finally wake up Pegula.

So......has anybody played well (for Buffalo) tonight so far?!?! Sorry, I've got nothing. EDIT - what just happened here....a goal?

Somebody forget to tell the team they're supposed to outwork the opposition on the PP?

Yes...only in the bizarro Sabres world, GMKA and HCDG will get yet another extension to implement a longer term development project.

I'd say Mister Rogers....just like their coach.

I love it....Carter calling Buffalo "Matador Hockey......Ole!"

He's lucky!!! 😃

I'm waiting for the Matty Ellis special....a 5-on-3 shorthanded goal

If TNT is shooting that (vs. Cozens), it's likely a goal.

Yessir!

There could be a LOT of blood in that extra large snoz of his!

And yet one of the guys who plays with a little pace and grit is once again not dressed (Robinson)....brought to you by the same coaching staff who thought Tyson Jost on the first line was a good idea.

Camera closeup showing Donny whispering "Let's Go" on the bench.....that will get the boy's juices flowing!

Donny's interview there just reinforces in my mind the notion that he's probably a nice guy, but he has no ability to FIRE UP his team.

If I still lived in Buffalo, I'd be tempted to wear a jersey with "Fire Donny" on it to the arena.

Sabres had a lot of zone time there....but as usual no net presence whatsoever. All Boston has to do is watch the Sabres skate figure 8's around the perimeter of the zone until they eventually miss a pass and then the Bruins break out going the other way.

I admire the simplicity of Boston's style of play.....simple but effective. All it takes is a little effort and heart.
