I'm not so sure our Sabres team has developed a good 200 foot game either.

I agree for the most part, but as the theme of the thread is about coaching....I would be of the opinion that a coaching staff change is still needed in addition to the personnel moves you laid out. Yes it's possible Granato might get this team to the playoffs, but I have my doubts he can achieve any more than that.

Maybe 10 games or so too late....will probably be another 20 games before marshmallow meatballs does it again. BTW, his power play still sucks.

Anybody else feel like this game is already over now?

IMHO - the organization has made progress......for the 2025/2026 season. This 2023/2024 version still lacks key pieces and the right mix of players to deliver on the promise of the playoffs.

Remember the OLD gloves from decades ago,,,,had the extra long cuffs on them! Maybe more protection, but lousy for stickhandling. 🙂

So how long are we supposed to wait for this to happen....3, 4 more years?!?! IMHO the organization itself set the expectation that this is the year they break the playoff drought, so now it is fair to hold them accountable to do so.

I don't expect GMKA to do make any deals....too f'in stubborn and would rather see the team fall further behind than deviate from his plan.

Our PP really misses Sam Reinhart, who BTW is playing pretty awesome right now.

Hey a Boston penalty....now for our awesome PP

Little Johnson can really skate....got back fast to catch Marchand and disrupt the 2 on 1

VO to DG.....Puck you for not playing me.

VO scores TWO....his trade value is peaking

The rat Marchand gets double or triple teamed, but still ends up with control of the puck

Well....there has to be a vacancy (0% chance that will happen anytime soon). Second, GG would have to want the job (odds of that?)

It seems so simple on the PP....Boston puts 1 or 2 guys in front of the goalie. They reduce the vision of the goalie. They shoot and look for rebounds. They control possession with ease. Why is it so hard for DG to emulate this? It's like asking why is it so hard for Ken Dorsey to run the ball?

This has been a painfully slow game to watch tonight

IDK - I think it fair to expect more this year. DG's PP is atrocious and the team's unwillingness to go to hard parts of the ice is frustrating. Hold DG to a higher standard!

I was wrong about getting shutout, but I still predict we'll get some buzzwords from DG in the postgame presser. Last game it was they need to be more "simple and direct"....what will it be tonight?

VO scores.....trade him now!

IMHO - Power needs a legit top 4 partner.

Ryan Johnson > Owen Power (2023)

Primary assist to Power on that goal

My question for tonight....will the Sabres score a goal?

Meatballs is trying to pump up the team during the intermission...."we are only down by a field goal"!
