Paul McCann: Saturday Night in Smashville

Hope to see a good game. Sabres are playing pretty good right know, seems the injuries to Skinner and VO have brought then together, playing a more complete game. They do have a tendency to disappear for a period here or there though. Could hurt them against a good Nashville team.

A very good team since expansion but the common denominator needs to go for a fresh new beginning. Yes that’s Poile.

His drafting & trading are solid but the results have not panned out.

That sounds like double speak to me. The latter should be indicative of the first. They are not mutually exclusive. So, it’s either Poile sucks as a GM or he doesn’t.

Did the preds sign this new coach to a long term deal or just for this year? This 3-3 start we would have gotten that with Lavy. So, everyone's eyes are now on Polie, I don't think its time for him to go, I think his trades look good on paper, but in actuality have failed. Is that his fault??? the man is getting the names but the names are not producing, so how could it be Polie's fault?? My eyes are going back to the Coach.... This guy isnt/shouldnt be around at the end of the year imho

He's getting the wrong names. This version of the team peaked and the window is all but shut. But he wants to ride this version. That's all on him. He also got the wrong coach. So, you tell me, when do you start holding the puppet master responsible for pulling the strings?
