And he has 3 fking assist this year and is getting PP2 time. Great, he's a locker room leader but he's a gdf anchor. Leadewr - great - make him a fkn assistant coach

But if he ends up being a good coach, they will just let him go to another team anyways

The fact that his on ice play has been bad is not reason enough to have an issue with the signing...?

We're OK with signing bad players?

You can sign all the bad players you want, as long as it’s only 1 year.
It doesn’t matter then.

We assumed Peyton Krebs was given a night in the press box as a reset, but Don Granato said there’s “more to it” and he’ll follow-up with reporters Monday.

😆😅🤣😂🤣😅😆

>>> To answer everyone’s questions, no, I’m not reading into it.

Granato, like a lot to coaches after a loss like that, is only focused on what went wrong and answering questions related to the game. Krebs was in the press box tonight with the Sabres’ other scratches.

Lance didn't even ask a follow up.

Hard hitting journalism there.

Are we really going to pretend for 65+ more games that Granato is actually coaching this team?

Where are the matchups? Adjustments? PP has Okposo, He just keeps putting the same guys out there over and over with the same results....This team wins its in spite of Granato not because of Granato.

Faceoffs? Worst in sabres history and Granato doesn't care. Doesn't change anything

Most of all this team has no heart and a captain that shouldn't even be in the NHL. Thats on Granato too.

Lifeless and not ready to play.

Gotta get this straightened out, help if we started with the puck more instead of always chasing it.

Start with firing the assistants. They are useless.

Bring in Michael Peca to help.

Well can't have Donnie looking over his shoulder. Was surprised they let Peca go. But he's probably making more money there as a assistant than are HC is here.

" Are Skill Was There" what kind of F@cking answer is that. Don't care if you threw 35 shots from the perimeter at Jarry. Where was the Heart, Effort and Will to go to the dirty areas to score a dirty goal. We have about 30 guys on are Depth Chart that have Skill, but don't want to get Dirty. They all play the same style. And our Leadership sucks, how can you lead when you Can't play anymore, Adams needs to start acting like this is a Business too and not Daddy Day Care.

My Question for the Day ?
Why would you not leave R. Johnson with Dahlin since they seem to be working well together and put Samuelsson at 3LD with just coming back from a injury. I mean with how well Power and Joker are playing together, could have balanced your pairs out better and broken up E. Johnson and Clifton's ice time.

And that’s why UPL sucks. Can’t let that one go in.

He's the only guy who actually played well yesterday that I could see and actually kept us in it. He stopped 36 of 39, one got through the sleeve on the rush. None were garbage goals.

I am not dropping this on UPL, probably take back that 1 goal in the 2nd but he kept us in it. Don't care they through 35 shots at Jarry. Not gonna do much damage when 27 of them are from 30ft out.

If you are gonna put a sh!t show like that out there Lineup wise. Much rather see the kids give a 100% and try, could live with the mistakes after watching last night. Atleast a couple of the kids might actually go to the net and get Dirty.

They hit two posts when the game was still there to be had, but the point above about not showing enough will to score is accurate.

Here's a fun question:

>>> At what point does this become a concerning group to be apart of

Bottom 3 teams in the league in all situations xGF/60

Donnie is supposed to be a player whisperer, right?

Doesn't seem to be working with Krebs, and where is the whispering for the players they bring up like Biro and Savoie, when he decides to play them for 6 minutes a night.

They need to fill there lineup out better. Bottom 6 is horrendous and it doesn't need to be. They are not willing to make decisions that need to be made. In No way should Okposo see 16min of ice time, guy shouldn't even be out there. This season is really F@cked up because of those stupid 1yr deals Adams signed. Organization is capable of putting a better Bottom 6 out there, they just can't make that hard decision to do it.

Maybe Peca- Appert are more of the whisperer, or atleast were.
