CallawaySabres Posted December 20, 2023 Report Posted December 20, 2023 At this point, I would be totally fine if Hockey left Buffalo for five years and it meant that we got an expansion team like Vegas in return. this is the worst team in the NHL yet again, so what really is the point of even having a team right now. Itās going to be years until they could even sniff an eighth place finish. First round draft picks will be sold off once again for meaningless pieces, and the whole cycle will start again. Quote

ARE YOU SANCTIONING the rooting of the leafs vs. Blue and Gold? Expand No. Of course not. But lose to the Leaves like that and someone has to go. But wonāt. DG will finish the season, hopefully then he gets a merciful ending, and he will learn that putting in defense hurts offense. Quote

I'm goin to get ready for bed and not think much about them again until Thurs. I just don't care enough anymore to get mad Expand Unfortunately we all care, that's why we're on here. We care for something that isn't showing the same back and hasn't for 14? 15 years? but I feel your pain man. 1 Quote
Carmel Corn Posted December 20, 2023 Report Posted December 20, 2023 The post game pressers offer little satisfaction for fans who want blood. DG answers keep painting a picture of "we'll address it", but we know it does not happen. Questions are still too timid. Somebody needs to ask questions like sitting specific players and also bluntly ask DG why fans should have any confidence in him and his staff when they have nothing to prove they know what they're doing. IMHO - he sounded more defensive tonight than usual though. 1 Quote

JustOutsideChicago Posted December 20, 2023 Report Posted December 20, 2023 Itās weird to listen to Donās coddling. I get that theyāre young but come on man, these guys are in the NHL. Stop worry about feelings. If a guy canāt take the pressure, move him. 1 1 Quote
HumanSlinky39 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Posted December 20, 2023 I've remained optimistic throughout the ups and downs the past couple of years. I still believe this young core is what we should build around. We've seen how good they can be. The pessimism creeping in on me is how much long-term and/or permanent damage is being done by a coaching staff that can't seem to teach basic fundamentals and is seemingly allergic to holding players accountable to their mistakes. Granato did a nice job of pointing the ship in the right direction after the Raaaalph debacle, but are we really going to sit here and watch him run them ashore again? Kinda feels like we are. 2 1 Quote

Expand I doubt he can finish the season, this was supposed to be a playoff contender. Every player besides 2 has regressed, do you really want to have these guys permanently playing like this? They will if Granato is still here until the end. I think he's close to being fired, not that I'm happy about it because I really liked the guy but it's clear he's not right for the job anymore. 1 4 1 Quote
