Kevyn thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, that's the problem. He was convinced (and apparently still is) that he could build a championship roster by stockpiling prospects and waiting for them to develop. Problem with that is it takes years and inherently a large sum of those prospects won't "hit." He's still married to the notion that "his guys" should be enough, we just need patience. There's also the fact that he seems to have accepted that Buffalo is not an attractive destination for FAs, so why even try? I won't argue that the first part isn't right, but I do not want the GM accepting that. Get a guy in here that is a good enough salesman and has enough balls, that he can sell FAs on a plan and maybe snag a couple of them. And I'm not talking about Zuckers, who while a nice player and a good guy to have around, is not transformative to a roster that needs transformative guys. Adams is an abjectively failed GM and any serious hockey organization would have already moved on.

I hope you're right but I don't think Terry is that in the trenches.

Are there people here saying Kevyn shouldn't be fired? Because I'm not seeing it. What I am seeing is that Adams won't be fired because Terry doesn't give enough of a ***** to do it. I think Adams should have been fired during the 13 game losing streak. Instead they got a pep talk from Terry and a day off and the band plays on. It's wash, rinse, repeat.

They aren't firing Appert. He's the HC in waiting.

Coming into the season this disjointed is a direct result of the head coach and his gaggle of scrub assistants. I was actually offended by last summer's "coaching search." It was clear Adams, probably under Darth Terry's direction, zeroed in on Lindy without even considering anybody else hoping the nostalgia would satisfy the fanbase. It was a lazy and uninspired hire. Then they saddle him with detritus for an assistant staff. On top of all of this is was a bad hire. Lindy was a good coach 20 years ago. He's been a mixed bag since leaving Buffalo the first time and has failed with better rosters in Dallas and NJ. Bottom line, this organization isn't serious about icing a contender. Adams is a failed GM who would have already been fired almost anywhere else. He keeps his job because he will do Terry's bidding and Terry doesn't give a damn about the Sabres as long as the Bills are successful. Until Terry is insulated from hockey ops by a POHO that knows WTF he's doing, it will be and endless cycle of missing the playoffs and doing nothing to really get better. I hate this *****.

Probably not, but money talks. At least try this time instead of that BS last summer after they fired Granato. Adams wouldn't be able to get them because he's a feckless cockroach, but maybe Jarmo could.

They play hard, I'll give them that but they aren't any good. Another horrific failure by the GM to improve the roster The coaching staff has carved out no offensive identity. We just skate around and cannot generate hardly any shots. This team stinks. I know it's just 2 games but this is the same ***** we've seen for a decade and a half. Fire Adams. Fire Ruff and his lousy assistants. Let Jarmo GM for the rest of the year. Do whatever it takes to bring in DeBoer or Gallant to coach these bums. I'm ***** tired of ***** hockey.

Have these guys had an extended possession in the Bruins zone tonight?

Get out of that scrum, Muel, you're gonna get injured.

Fire Appert into outer space. Somehow, someway the power play actually looks WORSE than last year.

Sabres power play

ZUCKER FINALLY

Lyon keeping us in this game. Unfortunately the guys in front of him can't offense.

We look AWFUL.

Even when they get a juicy chance in the slot they just fire it into the goalie's crest.

JFC, Tage

100 minutes of hockey, zero goals.

Power whiffs on a shot and Tage takes a penalty. 3-0 coming up.

They lost 13 straight last season and all that happened was an Uncle Terry locker room pep talk and a day off practice. They aren't firing anybody.

2-0

We've said something to this effect at least a dozen times the last two years. He isn't getting fired because this isn't a serious hockey organization.

2012-2025 Sabres ---- 2025/26 Sabres

80 minutes of hockey, no goals. Going swimmingly.
