The Sabres didn't play well? Why, because they didn't win 8-2 instead? Lol  

No, they didn't. Copium doesn't change that. You can win and not play well.

Don is a great guy, but the sabres need a new coach and staff.  He has miserably failed. GM bet the whole season on keeping the same team on the ice. Epic fail. Adams should fire himself. These players are young, rich and comfortable. Bring in somebody who will make them uncomfortable. Trade Adam’s precious picks for veteran help and sit the guys who make the same defensive mistakes two nights in a row.  In a league where you have to be incompetent to miss the playoffs, we are still waiting for basic nightly competence. We are tired. Terry. Baby. Sweetheart.

Welcome to the board!

The elevation of Appert over the assistants is clear proof that management thinks very little of HCDG's assistants.  It appears to also be an indication of the quality of coaches willing to come to Buffalo.

/sarcasm?  The GM literally said it would be the smoothest transition.  But just make stuff up I guess.

I was not aware of that.  Thanks!

Yeah, DEFINITELY didn't want to disrupt that PP that's clicking on almost 1 cylinder.  Imagine how bad it would've been had they disrupted it.

Come on Inky.  That is spin.  Matty Ellis runs the PP, imagine if he ran the bench.  

Appert was brought in to see if he can spark something AND because there is zero confidence in the current staff.

I don't doubt that bringing up Appert was determined to be the least disruptive way to proceed. I do think it was an unusual decision though and that it does speak to the lack of NHL experience on our coaching staff.  I think that most NHL teams have an assistant or two on staff whose presence would make the idea of bringing up the AHL coach for the weekend a non-consideration.

He also MIGHT've been brought up to get an "outsider's opinion" on whatever minor move they're thinking about making to try to spark the season being saved.  (We can hope, right?)

If Adams does not pick his brain for an assessment on everything then he is indeed not the man to run this team.
