Once Tage got taken away on the PP they haven't been able to adjust. They need a Big Murrr type and plant that A$$ in front.
And Granato are trusting 2 out of 3 players, one that can barely still skate and the other who falls down atleast 4 times a game to play more than 7 min a game. Sooner or later you have to trust the kids for the better of the team.

I'd like to see the Sabres model their PP after Tamp's:
Wall Guy - Stamkos , Tage
Set-up DMan - Heddy, Dahlin
Dman - Cernak, Power
Distributing F - Kucherov, ?(Benson, Mitts?)
Net Front - Point, ? (Tuch, Quinn?)((Sam R would be perfect))

Sabres management cannot be so delusional to believe the 'tactics' they deploy on the power play are not an issue, can they...?

I truly hope they don't only think the power play issues are about personnel.

>>> I do agree with @xBuffaloAnth that I think the failures of the PP have driven the Sabres more into the Patrick Kane sweeps.

I also agree they may not get the results they're hoping for.

That's a top 10 pick throwing away his year 2 opportunity. Krebs is being mishandled by this organization, whatever happened is no beuno.

IMO this vibes foundation is showing cracks, time to get the structural engineer on-site to inspect.

That's the problem, imo. Pretending Skinner is that guy. PP looks a little better when Cozens goes there, but he's not ideal either.

He just wanted to know what it feels like to "score" this year, so he headed down Broadway to see what's up.

If that's all Donnie is going to say on it, why didn't he just say it on Saturday?

Took some time for everyone to get on the same page of the yarn they were going to spin to the public.

Why not insert RyJo in as 3 LhD, and Brio for The Void on 4LW.

Boy, so many perplexing decisions.

Stealth tank (again)?

Incompetence. Doesn't want to hurt an old guys feelings. Can't make a tough decision.

If I sit behind the bench and yell at the bald headed ba*tard will I get thrown out?

"These pairs give us as a collective, the best opportunity to play decisive and direct hockey."

Adams:

"As we continue to embrace expectations, we are excited by the response of the group having to go through this period of injury and changes to the lineup. Erik Johnson has been a revelation for our group, I see a lot to be excited about."

Let's face it, it's really 6 + 4. They have a bigger bottom 6 problem than anyone even imagined. Donnie doesn't know what to do, but KA killed him.
