Poor Krebs. He has to play a role he physically cannot handle. No one will back him. That guy was 6’ 6”

Wow. We are getting physically hammered. Keep hanging in there kids.

VO

A Pred forward took four strides to try to get a hit on Dahlin. Then a Pred blasts Benson. We need help with this.

We had players stapled to the boards 3 times before that whistle.

He is top 6. Comes in at 18 and jumps that high? Sure, with Tage and Quinn he falls to top 9 but still, that tells you a lot about the forwards.

Only a few boos. The crowd is indifferent already, it’s only Dec 3rd.

But someday they will be worth it. The someday rebuild. No. He makes the most $$$ he can. He has a Cup.

Bunches of Preds fans in the lower level.

Ok boys. You will now face a neutral zone trap. But first, you give them a power play, just to help them out. This script is hauntingly familiar.

And just like the last 2 games, let’s give up 2 goals in less than a minute.

6 goals in 3 games off of faceoffs. Incredible. Never, have I ever, seen a team struggle to gain puck possession in the d-zone like this one.

Get out there Spooner, you just earned a shift.

Dahlin should have shot that. He had a better angle. Saros was deep in the crease.

Good evening Teammates, Punch checking in. Ok, I vented a lot after the last 2 games. Seeing them stink up a game in person had a lingering effect. Go Sabres! Get it done at home. Win for your fans. MUSCLE WEIGHT

We have at least 6 skaters that are not playoff capable players on any team. Their record is there for us to see. The coaching staff is failing to adjust. The Powerplay is a prime example. It has been figured out long ago, and the Sabres coaches have no answer or adjustments.

Translation: Predator 5 Sabres 4

That is NOT what he said when he bought the team. He said the reason "for the Sabres existence is to win Stanley Cups". He said if he needed more money to do it, then he would "drill another well". To sit back and let this happen for 12+ years, Terry Pegula is full of

And because you cannot come up with an answer, the answer is there is nothing. He did nothing, is what answers that question. This is his first “gonna win now” season. I like EJ and Clifton more than most here. I’m not totally against Adams plan. But the goaltending, and his not addressing the forwards in off season, was not in any way conducive to “we are gonna win now”.

Bills culture under McDermott is totally different and much better. The biggest thing hurting the Bills has been game day coaching. McD is a very good coach, you have to be a bit better to win it all and when he had the opportunity on game day, he did not deliver (13 seconds is a great example). Winning those 13 seconds gives him a home game to get to the Super Bowl.

Get a coach and a staff that teaches it. Vegas did it.

Name one successful proactive move in the last 3 years. Don’t count the draft, everyone gets to draft. Name one move made to correct a problem that actually made a significant difference. Why would Patrice help them. Besides, he is probably not in hockey shape.

Tell that to the guy who owns the Vegas Knights. A new owner can change the course of future events. Whether it takes two months or two years is not the issue. Change has to start at the top. If the leadership at the top is bad then organizational greatness will not be achieved. He hires people he can control, and he does not hold them accountable to a winning standard. Adams is still operating under Terry’s stupid and ridiculous “efficient, effective, and economic” policies. I puked when he rolled that nonsense out and it’s worth mocking that stupid speech at every turn. I applaud Boterill for refusing to comply. Sure, I will accept that the Eichel trade was the latest pivot two years ago. So what? Everyone knows that and it does nothing to fix the root cause. But Eichel left because of everything that happened in the 6 years before that. And the only reason we got Eichel was the disaster of the 3 years before that. All of the perpetual losing has ONE COMMON DENOMINATOR. The root cause of this disaster is at the top. Wait until the trade deadline. Let’s see how many good players come here. We have tons of assets but no big hockey trades happen because good players with a NMC will not come here.

I am leaning this way right now. I’m not one to make changes quickly either. But DG messages are not being heard He actually did a good job pulling them out of Krueger funk while losing the core of the team Cozens said it all. He even blamed himself on the faceoff. The difference between the Sabres this year and the last year is a lot of little things. Sure you can point to injuries but the biggest problem are the many mistakes, and unforced errors. If the coaches cannot correct it then the old saying is you can’t fire 23 players. Additionally, they both talked about Carolina being a hard place to play in. How about the team, as in the players, fix that and make Buffalo a hard place to play in? They can make that happen.
