IMHO - yes, they care, BUT I think they also feel outmatched in terms of having enough hard-nosed, physical players to compliment their "finesse" style of play. Such players can instill a greater sense of "security" in their minds to play with more freedom. I also question if they have enough confidence in their coaching staff and management to make the changes necessary.

Time for Leadership Change - Trade KO and Give Dahlin the C
Carmel Corn replied to GASabresIUFAN's topic in The Aud Club
I have tremendous respect for KO, but as they always say in professional sports....."It's a business!" I think loyalty is admirable, but it can also be a double-edge sword (sabre) that can blind you from doing what it takes to win. I'd love to see KO continue with the franchise in a non-player role, but this year's team needs more than what KO can provide on the ice....and maybe it is actually in his best interest to have an opportunity to be part of an actual playoff contender before he hangs up his skates for good. That said, even if GMKA trades him....it matters not unless he fills the vacancy with the type of player the Sabres actually need (not some Rochester minor league or prospect that is not ready to make the jump) -
Unfortunately, YES.....it's like a disease though. I moved away over 30 years ago, but the Sabres are in my blood.

The Elephant In the Sabres' Room: Fixing the Power Play
Carmel Corn replied to bob_sauve28's topic in The Aud Club
I wish somebody in the Buffalo media would ask DG "Don, what exactly is the powerplay strategy you are trying to execute". Then follow-up his word salad answer with "Why does your powerplay over pass and under shoot"? "Why don't you put a player in front to set a screen"? Won't happen though -
GDT: 9th Dec. Habs visit. CBC, MSG-B, TVAS, SN360

Bingo! Why is this seemingly the only team in the entire NHL that does NOT understand this most basic concept of hockey? There is just ONE player who gets it and sadly it's the 18 year old shortest player on our team. I just hope they don't assimilate him either, as he is our only hope Obi Wan. -

0 for 6 on the PP, including a 2 man advantage. When (if ever) will this coaching staff admit it has no F'in idea what it's doing. Where are the so-called Analytic guys who can tell them they're doing everything wrong?!?! Clueless, clueless, clueless!
