It's looks like this year's March Madness craziness rubbed off on everything Boston losing 3 straight home games including game 7 at home Seattle beating Colorado game 7 at home NYR completelety collapsing It's the year of the upset I want none until the Sabres get one

Yup definitely a bummer to miss the playoffs by one win Did not want to see Boston had we made it We would have matched up decently with Carolina. Had a nice win against them late in the season, plus we owe them for 06 How nice it could have been to knock them out in the first round

There's not a doubt in my mind that if Regier was still GM, the playoff drought would not have lasted 12 years

Yeah, I guess I can agree here Still think it could all use a nice overhaul, though

I can't stand the 3 on 3 either

Sure but that same league incentivizes losing in overtime And created the overtime rules It should all be changed, very odd rules that no other league has

Question goes unanswered Lol Someone else give it a try

Nice win to end the season You know what I find completely absurd? That the tie breaker goes to the team with more regulations wins. How is it not TOTAL wins? Befuddled over here Wouldn't mind an explanation regarding that. Makes no sense to me Now go make the playoffs next year, Sabres

You must be under 5'10 sorry breh

Release Bryson and anyone else under 5'10 Teach checking and defense

Yeah, this is better than it had been for the last 12 years but at some point, ya gotta make the playoffs Not making the playoffs next year would be completely unacceptable

Levi or Comrie Anderson was awful in his last start I'd go with Levi

Picking it up lately

The game where Cozens won it in overtime less than 15 seconds in wasn't boring

Yep

How crazy would a 12 game winning streak be I mean they got 10 with Housley as coach with divas as the leaders They definitely have the firepower to do it...

Cool Goodbye Mittlestadt or Olofsson or both

I give you laughing smiley face And Pimlack gave me the x in the Pegula thread for saying the Pegulas have been spending money lol Plus he didn't explain why

And even then I still think you keep him unless a coach with heavy merit is in line to replace him Was Byslma a good coach? Probably not. He did have to coach a bunch of misfits, though. Was 2 years long enough? No Was Housley a good coach? Probably not. Again, 2 years is an absurdly short window. Simliar/same players as well Was Ralph a good coach? This one's easier. No. 2 years is still too short. His mistakes were more blatant You can't give a coach only 2 years total and expect real changes to happen Continuity matters Keep firing keep coaches too early, change the system every two years and the cycle will continue. It's been continuing for 12 years

They've spent quite bit of money recently to be fair

Wouldn't be a good idea It's clear and obvious he's been the best coach since Ruff. Firing coaches too early or after 1 or 2 years rarely works. Tage, Tuch, Skinner and Dahlin are all having their best years. You fire him now, you risk losing their confidence in this organizations competency. Trades could be demanded by some of the players in the near future If you were to fire him now, then the entire team has to re-learn a completely different system. Mid-season. The players are already upset about this recent stretch. Tage was livid and checking everything, fighting, I thought he played a great game yesterday. You fire Granato and Adams could lose this team mentally for good. There's no way this would go over well in the locker room The better answer is for Granato to let the assistant coaches go, if he does that, it proves he has the guts necessary to do what needs to be done. He knows this team has problems He deserves at the very least the entirety of next year. Not saying he's a Jon Cooper, and their teams were and are in completely different stages, but Tampa Bay got swept by Columbus and he did not get fired. Some people wanted it. Then look what happened. Coaches need the appropriate amount of time. 2 years or less isn't enough

Sure but sensation is a huge stretch

Rookie sensation lol

Stop leaving the Goaltender out to dry

They weren't even that bad to begin with
