It's Adams' cocksure belief that every single one of his precious prospects will show linear improvement and development every year until he has a Cup contender. He's delusional at best and a moron at worst. 

It's worse than that.  He knows how to draft individual players.  He has no idea on how to build an NHL roster.

He's suited to be a director of player development.  He's notsuited to be an NHL GM

[Scottysabres]

This team has been the joke of the NHL for years now.

The Buffalo Sabres are without a shadow of a doubt the absolute worst run sports franchise in North American professional sports leagues. And that's saying something. They are literally unwatchable, unmarketable in their own market.

I expect nothing to change anytime soon.

TNT guys being politically correct … talking about how the Sabres are playing tonight. They are easy to play against, no compete, no effort - getting beat to every single puck.  
 

Talking about all the players looking same game from a skills perspective.  

The Sabres are going to get Granato fired.  

Maybe in two years

I'm here for the "Fire Donnie" chants I expect to hear in the 3rd.

How can a team never improve? It would make sense if we were constantly cycling players but we literally brought back the same team and they stalemated again. It just doesn't make sense; there is no seeming progression. We are literally stuck in an endless timeloop of players who start to get good, level off, ask to leave or get too old then possibly get better after they leave while we continue the same rat wheel. Its baffling. Now we are royally ***** with all trades being absurd prices or being vetoed by target players and firing the coach will only put us back into the whole coach cycler.

 

Why will they just not shoot on the Powerplay

There were a bunch of players with career years last season, it was bound for some to have a dip but everyone aside from J.J. Peterka has regressed. Every pickup that Adams made has been a bust in (Clifton/Johnson) and almost everyone in here knew that Okposo/Girgensons shouldn't have been brought back accept our great GM.

Yes...only in the bizarro Sabres world, GMKA and HCDG will get yet another extension to implement a longer term development project.

Is there any hope for this team?  

Nope.  They need foot soldiers.  The only one out there tonight is Krebs.  Where are the other 2 on the 4th "energy line"?

with Olofsson in the 4th line , you know this team is not trying to win 

glad Adams can continue to be patient. it's wearing thin for me to be honest

Where have you gone, Terry Pegula?
Sabre nation turns its lonely eyes to you
Woo, woo, woo
What's that you say, Mr. Pegula?
Impatient fans have left and gone away
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

 

[jad1]

Seriously, what do they lose if they fire Granato and this staff tomorrow. I know it's not happening, but if it did, what is the franchise missing out on if he's gone?

[Carmel Corn]

Somebody forget to tell the team they're supposed to outwork the opposition on the PP?

[Cityo'Rasmii]

Mattie's PP is a thing of beauty, especially the puck control

Same team, same results.  Every team knows how to play them.  
 

You are correct.  Another coaching change will not inspire any veteran to come here. 

[Scottysabres]

Oh joy, a 5 on 5 goal

[Doohicksie]

 

[Carmel Corn]

So......has anybody played well (for Buffalo) tonight so far?!?!  Sorry, I've got nothing.

EDIT - what just happened here....a goal?

Part of me is actually a little disappointed.....I was envisioning getting blanked in hopes it might finally wake up Pegula.

Two empty netters in the last three minutes.

1. 2nd intermission the TNT crew discussed fact there is seemingly no voice in the room the players are listening to..... (Donny... but if they can him, who is the interim? Maybe Rip Simonik can come out of retirement. Guys love him.😜)?
2. Sabres seemingly have all of the same type of player, no players to play different roles.
