If they remove the Interim tag, I bet this is the game they point back at and say it's when Don really caught their attention.

Tell you what, I've been watching his pressers and he's growing on me. I don't know if he's the guy to take them a long way, but he's a regular guy, a hockey guy, that's getting through to his players at a time when they could have easily death-spiraled into oblivion. All I know is he seems to be the right guy for these guys right now.

I like that he put Bjork and Ruotsalainen in a position to succeed right off the bat by playing them with the Workhorse

I'll make it clear for you:  He's a con man.

Why does it have to be nefarious? Why couldn’t it be he was a good guy, who did his best and fell flat on his face?

Everything Granato says in his interviews just makes sense. I'm starting to buy in. Screw it.

Well it was a two margarita* night for me tonight, and the Sabres won, so I'm inclined to agree with you.

*when I make a margarita at home, I fill a pint glass about 2/3 with ice, almost cover it with tequila, then top it with margarita mix.

I had a Soviet film night and put the game on when my movie was over, so I've had...some vodka.

I'm starting to warm to the idea of giving him next year to see what could happen.

He seems to be very savvy in establishing his lines.

Who had Mittelstadt resurrecting himself from clear bust to top 6 leader on their bingo card?

 

I sure as ***** didn't.

I stressed patience. It could have just as easily went the other way with him. Glad he’s taking strides in the right direction and gaining confidence. I’ll be happy if he tops out at a solid 2nd liner. Surprised and pumped if it’s more.

Giving him one year is the perfect answer.  Remove the Interim tag.  If he continues to improve the team, keep him going.  If he plateaus, maybe you bring in a more proven coach.

Because I honestly believe he's a liar and a con man.  He's a bullshitter with nothing to back it up.

He’s a great guy, who is smart but wasn’t smart enough to apply his best. 

Many intellectuals are their own worst enemy. Hopefully he writes a book about it that is only in German.

They played that entire empty net sequence perfectly.

Yes they did. The kids were hungry

Nice win, they had their foot on the gas for 60min.   

But...

IMO, and I'll prolly get crucified for this, the outcome was a product of the Caps simply not showing up to play.

First time in a long time it has felt like we aren't wasting the end of the season. 

There are too many good things to say about Cozens. Dude pushes his boundaries outward each game to see what he can and can't do yet, and he can do more every time he tries it, and he doesn't need to be reminded to try it. I struggle to imagine Bergeron playing the game like this at age 20. 

All the right guys are showing all the right signs. We're allowed to have this?!

There was some of that.  Caps were sloppy.

So the Sabres don't get any credit for capitalizing on a team that didn't show up ready to play? 

Good teams get credit for that kind of thing.

Good read tonight folks.

These games are getting more and more fun. I'm loving the style of play.

Stick tap to the assistant coaches Matt Ellis and Dan Girardi for their efforts as well
