Adams maybe but I think this summer Granato still be gone. 

I don't see it. Not with the extention, Pegula settling in to stay the course and start ro shake off that reputation. At the most they may change assistant coaches, power play and d zone maybe. But otherwise, I fully see Donny and Kyven here for their full contracts.

So my question is WHY can't they play like this in the 1st period....when it matters?

Score effects 

We also don’t “play well” against the good teams, they play down to our level

Find it hilarious Harrington is in KOs face postgame about the team quilting tonight… when just this afternoon Harrington gave big ink to KA to wax eloquent about his faith in his vision, his coaches, and his players… Harrington is a laughingstock, imo

But wait, he held the wall vs the white walkers!

You don't really mean that.......you didn't BOLD it 😜 

[RochesterExpat]

Boy I sure am glad that our starter came in for relief and played up to expectations.

Out of respect for RJ, the Sabres should remove the RJ patches from their jerseys.....RJ deserves so much better than to have his name associated with this absolute crap sandwich of a team tonight (or this season).

Next game....I may hold my nose and wish for a Leafs rout in hopes that it may be the final straw that breaks the back of management.

No one is getting fired tomorrow.  But after the Leaves game, who knows?

NOPE, you got me on that last 13 yrs.

[K-9]

Why so glum everybody?

[Believer]

Even Biron looks disgusted. 

[Scottysabres]

Interesting that post game was only KO. Donny and the dwarfs must of shot up to Mitts room at harbor center for some fortnight.

CBJ - "OK boys, meat is back on the menu!"

It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing.. such a little thing

KO does not deserve this. He won't quit but the team around him tonight. Standing around. No push back, no jam, this team is playing so soft and uncommitted.

[Crusader1969]

Reporting the a "fire Donny" chant was pretty loud and clear tonight 

not sure you would hear it next game vs the leafs "go leafs go" but all those going to the game need to chanting "fire Donny"  from the opening face-off 

[Nitro60]

The look on Granato's face at the end of the game said it all.  He was totally disgusted with his team.  They need a inferno lit under them and start holding them accountable in the press conferences.  Some guys should not make long range plans to be in Buffalo.

Don't know about Punch, but yes, I am! 

It's darkest before the dawn....

[Indabuff]

No Granato in the presser?  Coward.

A lot of games this seadon have looked like this without the 9 goals. 

Puck control = play control = flow of the game control......at least, imho.

They lose the puck a great deal, they make poor decisions a great deal. When combined with the putrid effort and d zone gaffes, it is terribly bad hockey.

I don't see it changing, at least, not this season.

 An fans start a “Sell the Team” chant next game. Might be our only hope at this point

New owner moves team.  NHL gone from WNY forever.  This was close to happening before the Pagula's bought it.  I am disgusted but not to this suicidal level.

Fans: “Nothing will be worse then the Krueger era”

These Guys: “Hold our collective   beers”

In fairness to DG and his staff, we ain't that low...yet.

Making a list, checking it twice i(no forget about it we don't check).

[SwampD]

I'm at the point where I think we'd be better off if Pegula sold the team even if the new owner retained KA and Donny.

Bettman wouldn’t let it happen. 

I feel bad for Donny. Get Kevyn Adams phoney face in front of the mic instead
