if they don't make some changes soon, yes. but hey we'll have another high draft pick.

What the Sabres are looking at from now until Christmas:

Red Wings - Loss
Bruins- Loss
Canadians - Win
Coyotes- Loss
Avalanche- Loss
Golden Knights- Loss
Coyotes- Loss
Blue Jackets- Win
Leafs- Loss
Rangers- Loss

2-8 wouldn't surprise most on here for this month. They are not improving, they can't blame UPL this season every game. As a group, each loss makes it that much tougher to keep fighting a losing battle.

- Is it worth it to keep Benson up, or should he go to World juniors and then join Savoie to go try to win a championship? Does losing help his development?

- Will Adams have another press conference to discuss the situation while making no changes? When will reporters start pressing him?

- Who here has tickets to the 1,000 game parties?

I looked at this schedule and thought pretty much the same thing... not very hopeful ... the season is going around the drain, and the drain is getting closer.

And he will want to be here. (In Buffalo)
That’s enough for GMKA to draft anyone

Upl played well last night


Cozens had an excellent game
Benson has some feisty attitude

Dahlin passes too much
The whole team over passes, skipping open shots

Bet the over on shots vs. Detroit tomorrow, Donnie is gonna demand more attempts

It would be more entertaining if Adams hired Peters and Rivet to coach the team for the rest of the year.

I’d be content with Ron Rolston coaching and watching him play with the zipper on his team issued pullover. I’m beginning to think Granato is trying to get fired. He can’t be this bad… or can he🤔

is this season lost?
- homiedclown


No but they need to string together 4-5 wins (or at least 4-5 games with at least a point) to really get back into it. That seems impossible for them right now.

If it still looks like this at Christmas, then President Terry needs to fire Adams and Granato, give Karmanos the job and bring in a coach from the outside

The big problem is they seem to take most of their shots from the perimeter, instead of fighting for more prime, difficult and physical shooting positions on the ice.

Interesting that they are convering much less passes in the offensive zone this season compared to last season.

Losing at home is the most frustrating thing, especially with minimal effort.

Been to all 11 home games

Overpassing the puck and trying to score goals exclusively with skill. The team has zero net presence and can’t score any gritty goals.

Very fragile mindset early in games is also frustrating


*hope pk88 plays Tuesday, I’m a big fan of his on ice play

I stopped listening to WGR because both teams suck but I'm curious if PHam is still talking poop about the red wings building through free agency

4th best team in the east for points
