Poor Buffalo Sabres… Adams set us back a couple years, imo… His rebuild strategy… his roster-building, his contracts, his decision-making… amounts to failure… See the BN today… Even Lysowski is beginning to see the truth… Unclear the owner or Adams would agree, though… Pegula is enjoying his ride with the Bills… and Adams is wearing rose-colored glasses… Given the current reality and regime, maybe we make the playoffs in the next couple years… Unless big changes happen.

@JoeSchmoe… Go back through this thread… @Mango has it right…

Adams says he is serious about winning, but his actions belie him… Success is not just about skill and talent… and neither is winning in sports… Intangibles matter… Intention, Desire, Determination, Courage, Grit, Moxie, et al… Think top athletes have these to one degree or another… Good coaching can bring it out in players… Our group seems wanting in this area. That’s on Adams and Granato.

Well said.

You shouldn’t be surprised @Pimlach… I’m a pragmatist… Like I said, just my 2 cents… Don’t know what Pegula wants… Do know Adams charmed Pegula to get the job with no GM experience… Not working so far… Remember, Associate GM Jason Karmanos is an experienced Stanley Cup hockey executive… having existing relationships with the NHL, the Pegula’s, the Sabres staff and players after a couple years here… who can step in tomorrow as an interim or permanent replacement for Adams… Don’t know how he is valued in-house, though. The next handful of games matter plenty, I believe… If we lose these upcoming games, terminations of one or more will happen, imo. You can say you told me so if I’m wrong… Hopefully we win them all and set a new consecutive win streak for the season to build on.

Adams needs to replace Granato now… If we lose to CBJ and Pitt, he will be forced to by Pegula… or be shown the door himself, my bet… If we manage to win both games and beat OTT and MTL… let Granato finish the season and reevaluate. My 2 cents.

For a leader who failed to show up tonight until the last 5 minutes… Tuch sure has a lot to say… just his usual excuses.

No shut out… Thank you, EJ

0/5 on the PP… Wow. Truly hope neither DG or players mention how Thompson’s absence impacted their play… Our top players haven’t shown up tonight… all on their own. Desire drives performance…

Really no PP urgency… Slow… Indecisive… Impotent… Lucky to get a shot on net…

Good call… Stupid penalty.

Great chance there…

Crap call

Need a major in-season shake up… Trades or Terminations… It’s on KA and Pegula.

Geez… Now it’s a hole.

With Granato

Hoo boy… Hate the drop passes… Waste time… No attack… 4 minutes … 1 shot on net… Need a new PP Coach… 4/39

Refs not taking any lip…

In a hole again… Not a deep one… Get it back

Merry Christmas!

It was a very entertaining game… until into the OT. Walk the beach if it’s not too chilly… Take a beer.

UPL played a good game.

Damn… We had great chances… Shesterkin beat us in OT

Good period… ex the PP
