Once teams took that away, the pp became what it is today. Peter's and Rivet are clueless half the time. Calling these two "good" and saying how they "powerfully" discuss this is something. The "they powerfully discuss" line reminded me of some of the garbage I see on Twitter. Using language like that reminds me of certain click bait and fear mongering headlines.

LGR4GM Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Just listened to Granato on wgr. If a coach can lose the players, they can lose the fans. Granato has lost me, so disappointed in him. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granato has lost me, so disappointed in him. I don't care if he's "lost me" but it just seems like he's slipped into Krueger mode: Platitudes with no substance behind them, saying he knows what needs to be fixed but it's not fixed. There's a point at which you realize a coach is no longer effective with a group of players and I think that line has been crossed with Granato. I really think it comes down to Matt Ellis though. Their 5v5 numbers aren't awful. The power play went from being an asset last year to a liability now; the PK went from respectable earlier in the season to a joke now. If Granato can't make the call to relieve Ellis of those duties, he's not the man for the job. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't good. It's not just the pp although that's horrendous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granato has lost me, so disappointed in him. It's done. Over. Nice guy. Capable of being a very good hockey coach in certain high-level settings. I'd even venture to say that he's a good person. I like how he views the game of hockey and, by extension, how he approaches life. I'd really prefer that Adams exit with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PP wasn't even good for most of October last year. It started to get red hot at the end of October (about 2 games before Cozens got moved to the 1st unit) and stayed that way until mid-December. It was trash before that and trash after that. Yes, let's give Matt Ellis credit for the PP last year. Some of us have been doing so since last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last years power play started good and went to $hit, were it has remained to this day. Ellis deserves no credit, anyone with a brain knows that. The power play is the single biggest reason why the Sabres are not in the race. Listen to what Marty said today, he just broke down all the numbers. The disgrace about Appert coming up should be on the assistants, although the management is responsible for them being there, they can all share the disgrace Rivet and Peter’s are a clown show. Good for a chuckle, or when you want to vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
