You're thinking of the team under Granato.

Ruff had them ready to go in the 1st.  Ruff couldn't get them to sustain that for the full 60.  Now, it seems he can't even get that 1st period going well.  This has the makings of a very long season.

If a team is playing poorly...there is always a way to take whatever you see and blame it on coaching:

-A team starts out slowly but plays better later =  Its the coach's fault they aren't prepared

-A team starts out well but gets worse as the game goes on = Its the fault of the coaching staff they can't/don't make adjustments.

Why does Pegula get a pass from the Buffalo Media ? Ralph Wilson didn’t 

Because the Bills being great makes up for a lot.

Why were AHL designees up so long during preseason... Guys look way out of sorts... not even ready for the season... jeez passes off too many indecisions... wtf.

They've got something like 6 guys on IR and you want the regulars playing even MORE meaningless hockey?  How about instead of playing more meaningless games, they get NHL caliber coaches who can run the sort of drills to get them ready to play hockey against actual NHL opponents?

I think this really could be a mutiny. If so, I wonder who it’s targeted at mainly. Maybe all of the coaches and Adams.

Dahlin. Tuch. Power. McLeod. Samuelson. 

0 SOG

 

Dahlin had chances to get shots but the puck seems like a rubber ball on his stick tonight.  You can see the frustration building.

Nope 

 

He has his daughters names on each hand 

[Brawndo]

Alright glass half full approach. 
 

Every coach and front office member contracts are up after this year. 
 

Couple this with Highmark Stadium being completed, there might be a good chance that a wholesale changes are coming

If Josh isn’t there, they are a bottom feeder like the Sabres

[Goldseatsaud]

So local media folks like Harrington can’t get a sit down with Pegula

They are playing pretty hard IMO. In fact too hard at times, resulting in mistakes. They just can't put anything together offensively. Oh, and Lyon is saving them from a blowout.

[JohninMinn.]

Is this teams mentality built around playing not to lose or make mistakes? They need a sports psychologist.

It’s known and out there that he doesn’t have this team.

I’m just not seeing that. I don’t see much fight other than the second period of the Rangers game. And their shot selection is suspiciously dead center of the goalie chest literally every time our snipers are not even trying to pick corners.

[Goldseatsaud]

They want ruff gone

They tried to get the Bills one, but she is out of network for the Sabres

We've done this conversation before...but since the drought:

-8 coaches (7 with Lindy twice)

-4 GMs

-70 different skaters over 14 seasons have at least 80 games played.

-Many front office and scouting changes.

-Just one owner.

What is the common thread, that controls all those other things under him?

A team starts out well but gets worse - the coach is a good motivator but not particularly good at the X & O's.  Ruff used to be good at the X&O's.  The crew taking direction from him are notorious for not being good at that.  Heck, Ruff's predecessor didn't even try to teach the X&O's of D for a couple of years.  And Ruff has ALL those same guys that worked for Donny working for him now.  (Even Ellis didn't get canned, just reassigned to non-game day on bench duties.)

That would be a laugh

[OverPowerYou]

I hope we get shut out every game until we trade for an actual top 6 forward 

[Mr Peabody]

Pregame interview and Tuch didn’t agree with Lindy’s saying last game issue was passing.  Thought that was telling. 

[Goldseatsaud]

Casey is happy as hell he is outta Buffalo
