Good to see VO take that shot… No hesitation…

Damn

Wide open…

Good PP attack… Several shots for a change…

Hoo-hoo

Don’t disagree with much of what you say… but didn’t limit my remark to FAs or the trade deadline… Limited my remark to players with winning SC experience… Will bet he brings in a couple winners during the off season and next year (assuming Pegula gives him the dough) to accelerate the rebuild… with an expectation (real or fanciful) the Sabres earn a playoff spot next year… Just my opinion…

Really??… I follow the Sabres not other NHL teams… Just not informed enough to answer your question… Perhaps you are… Who do you think KA is targeting??…

Who to sign??… KA has shown he is willing to sign experienced talent to accelerate the rebuild… His scouts have targets… Question is will Pegula be willing to pay for it… As for Granato’s expectations… the flat first periods over the last four games speak volumes… If he is giving a “winning effort every night” message to the team…especially last night with a chance to sweep and break a three game losing streak… they are tuning him out… At this stage, given his focus on player development, prefer to think he hasn’t emphasized enough win message… To think otherwise means he isn’t connecting with the team in the locker room… My bet this is not the case…

Don’t think anyone is suggesting flushing the DG/KA team yet… Think what some of us are suggesting is 1) KA and Pegula putting more emphasis on expectations… on winning by adding a few more players from winning Cup programs 2) Granato putting more emphasis on expectations… on winning despite our youth and roster holes Step up the rebuild with smart, active management by the owner, the GM, and the Coach…

We have 40 points and 31 games left… if we can win at least 10 games… 30%… we can take a step to building a Win Culture… even in the first rebuild year…

Go to the Sabres website and look at the shots by period… distance… and pattern… This is a coaching issue…

17 blocked shots to our 7… That’s commitment to responsible defensive zone play…

Embarrassing… Granato needs to have a better explanation for tonight’s play other than youth, development, ad nauseam… We were outplayed for 60 minutes by the last place team in the NHL… And we had a chance to sweep the series…

Just lazy inexcusable play… Get the bags out tomorrow, Granato…

Passing not shooting…

Start with coaching that motivates play…

Maybe what they need…

We miss Okposo’s no quit effort and fearless shot…

Thompson Tuch Skinner no shows tonight…

Shooting gallery… Anderson must be exhausted… Getting no help tonight…

What a way to start a three game road trip…

Whatever…

Too quick to pass in the zone instead of shooting… Too man passes broken up with no shot… Infuriating habit of this team now…

He needs at least one more punch in the face in this game…

Fitzgerald one tough kid…
