Dan and Rob spinning this one.  
 

Wow!  Two in a row twice in 41 games.

Unfortunately, none of this is stopping until a coaching staff that can actually coach and hold guys accountable comes on. I don't see them canning Meatballs in season, so we're stuck with this subpar product.

I would not be surprised if Granato was back next year.  

[lowsabre]

I'd like to see them hold some sort of special conference or something and explain what exactly their idea is of what went wrong when we seemed to be on an upward trajectory after last year

the least one could ask for is transparency in all this

[HumanSlinky39]

Halfway through the season and still haven't won 3 in a row, and only won 2 in a row twice. Gross.

Krakens have given up a total of 6 goals over their last 6 games.  Yikes.

I'll say 6-2 Krakens.

welp

Once upon a time, a coach would keep his players at the arena and work their a$$es off after a terrible game like this.  Any chance this happens anymore???

I'm probably on an island here but I don't think they were terrible except in net 

Kraken scored on most if not all of their opportunities and Daccord was able to stop most of all the Sabres.

They won’t.  They will excuse it away after the season.
 

Any fan who really cares already knows what went wrong.

There is no way  he's taken them as far as he could 

[Believer]

Goodnight all.

Did you see the power play?  Did you see the PK?  

[jad1]

Right now, this franchise is nothing more than a grab bag of solid prospects, with no clue what to do with them.

Dumbleavy is such a pathetic bootlicking toadie. What a ***** pile of ***** he just spouted, symbolic of just how little respect the miserable ***** on his Superyacht has for the fans of the team he murdered.

[CallawaySabres]

Well, you can’t blame me, my power has been out all night, and I was not able to watch the game after all, thank God

I only came in towards the second half of the second period (so maybe I'm missing something), but seeing that powerplay was enough for me to decide that they were terrible

I still blame you.

Well, there’s not a lot of room left but you can jump on the Canucks’ bandwagon if you hurry.

That was 4 mins of the entire time 

Tuch had a breakaway on the PK. And the shot should have been saved 

BUT that's again coaching 

things Sabres need to improve 

1) coaching - need a strong coach who can implement a defensive structure 

2) coaching - need a special team improvement 

3) consistent goaltending - Bring in a Vet

4) foot soldiers  - need another 4th line all effort type of guy or 2 

5) another top 4 dman - probably the most difficult so I have it as last

Always loved their Judas priest skate jersey

The Canucks got their Boudreau bounce when he came in (kinda like granato) but there was no accountability, nobody worried about sitting, no pp or pk structure.

I am stunned at the Canucks this year. Tocchet and company don’t mess around and players play hard almost every night.

DG should be praised for getting a lot of the kids but it’s clear it’s too country club still. The Sabres need some extreme tough love and structure.

Mine went out about 30 mins ago.  I wish it went out before Puck drop.
