Hard to blame us for hoping. I had much higher hopes and expectations, but I am not surprised. As soon as we signed Okposo right out of the gate, I knew this was not the year, but I thought our compete level would be much higher. It’s got to be tough on morale. You see these washed up bums ( I know they are loved) and how little they can offer. It’s got to wear on you.

Not blaming the fans for Hope! That's all we have. But your GM shouldn't be playing that game 4 years in.

He said he chose here. More like Adams promised him a full time spot

3 games in 4 nights. All 3 G's get a start? Has UPL earned more?

If UPL earned the first one he earns the 3rd one by continuing to play well

Yea keep going

Do you know the GM or owner isn't saying hey were paying 3+ million they must play?

Im not absolving blame on the coach. It is laughable to suggest that coaching is the only reason they won't make the playoffs

Will adams fire the coach in 10 games if nothing has changed? Or is it another decision he is unable to make

This roster was due some diligence since they lit up the last 6 weeks of 21-22

- ieetbred


So he can keep playing them and get fired.

Or try his luck benching them and sending a message to the team.

Idk about you, but if I’m going to get canned if things keep going the way they are, I’d rather go out on my own terms.

UPL back to back would be a big surprise.

I expect the rotation to continue, but I'd love to see any kind of shakeup with this team.

Game 9 for Benson coming up. One decision they can't put off any longer.

A) E Johnson has dressed every game.

B) He’s willingly paired Clifton and E Johnson together despite brutal results.

C) The second Samuelsson came back he stopped playing R Johnson top 4 minutes and neutered him.

Should I keep going ?

- Swedish_Jesus

The fact that Clifton, Johnson and Samuelsson suck is on Granato? Not on the GM who signed all 3 huh?

How involved do you think Granato was with Clifton and Johnson?

Just think what Adams could have Done with good use of that wasted 11mill in Cap. Beaner did a nice job with that 14mill

- Buff36

Letting Edmunds walk this year was a majestic move, even with all these injuries. He would have been brutally exposed if he were playing for Buffalo right now.

I’d like to see Clifton get a solid run with someone who isn’t E Johnson before I make a decision.

But hey Donnie seems to think it will work eventually.

Per ATW:

- Granato believes in his conviction/compete approach. He’s been preaching this for over a year, Paul doesn’t think the players will get it. Granato finally yelled at the players between the 2nd and 3rd in the Peg.
- Krebs doesn’t want to take on the 4th line role and is upset
- per Hamilton, Cozens is upset with how he’s been used and hates the bubble
- they all agree R Johnson should stay
- Power needs to be properly coached
- Paul thinks Granato should bring Rob Ray on the ice during practice to teach the kids how to fight/protect yourself

And much more, I found those interesting

- washedup20

Maybe Krebs should, you know, have more than 1 point in 16 games

Cozens, well, he got his bell rung and now he says it’s not his fault he sucks

Power is literally that big kid you picked for your team just to be a big body and when he asked you what to do you said “just stand there” and he did and now no one can figure out why he sucks.

I can’t even with this Okposo sh¡t anymore. 20 minutes a night and powerplay time like what are we seriously doing here guys?

Also promised a 20 year old midget the keys to the arena and he sucks even more than two goalies that everyone wanted to put on waivers a month ago.

Yeah this team is just the worst. Before Pegula, the Sabres had like a .600 all-time win % and had only missed the playoffs like 10 times in 40 years, now we can’t even win 3 games in a row and make the playoffs once every 15 years.

You know what though, a bunch of 5’10” twenty year olds should do it as long as they develop properly.

He isn’t in any danger of getting canned and has a secret lifetime contract.

He has a longer rope.

But he should start feeling uncomfortable pretty soon too if they don’t figure this out

Dude has real life plot armor in the form of referees, I am shocked there wasn’t a phantom flag thrown on that INT.
