Optional morning skate for the Sabres ahead of their game against the Bruins.

Devon Levi in the starter’s net. Zach Benson skating with the group again.

Why is it optional?

The Bills really painted themselves in a corner by not having a true D-coordinator. Because really Mcd and Dorsey should be getting fired this morning. But they don't have anyone on the staff who could pick up the pieces on such short notice and put a game plane together. If only they had a coordinator with head coaching experience, lol.

Bills have 3 other coaches on there team that have Called Offensive Plays or been OC, there Defense is beat the F@ck up. Fix your Offense and it will help your Defense.

Benson skating with the team again. Hopefully he's close.

Getting Tuch and Benson back for the next game would make a third line. Christ.

Christ is better than a 3rd liner. He's also pretty busy at the moment.

Their inconsistent offense, Granato said, will be solved by addressing some glaring issues, particularly their struggling power play, which has scored only two goals in 22 opportunities across the past eight games.

“Everybody’s going to want more scoring and secondary scoring,” Granato noted. “I believe we’re capable and there’s lots of other things, I guess, that would concern me ahead of that. I think when other things resolve, that will come back, the power play being one of them. Which I’m glad I mentioned it before you guys do because, no matter how much it aggravates you, it probably aggravates me even more. … The scoring on this team, I think, is there. It’s proven to be there, and I think we get some other things right that will be a natural consequence.”

I feel like blaming Gabe Davis for that pick is the same as blaming Dorsey for the offense. They're just excuses to deflect from the fact that Josh is an immature, reckless qb who is probably already past his useful peak in this league.

Your right Josh shouldn't throw so hard hes going to break Gabe's nail.

Common doesn't work with this group.


“We haven’t found our game yet,” Okposo shared with reporters ahead of his 1,000th NHL regular-season game Tuesday night. “We need to get back to doing what makes us successful. We’ve got to stop trying to be like everybody else. We’ve got to be like us. That’s when we’re powerful and that’s when we’re at our best. … Everybody in the room knows we can be better and we’re going to find it. And when we do, we’re going to be off and running.”

Maybe he can spend a second helping the third line do literally anything useful

There's going to a day where Benson and Quinn are playing and EJ isn't and it's a start.

I have the solution: Buy every player Beats audio wireless headphones.

That will certainly turn things right around! ✅️

I would have went scorched earth rebuild last spring. I saw this decline coming a mile away. I can't stand teams that lose a conference championship and just keep trying to "Get the band back together".

my solution is not buying players in UFA that clearly (frank)ing stink, and are washed

And having more than 2 lines.

Why get angry about the football team if you can use that energy for the sabars

It's dumb to think it wouldn't help. Team comes out flat every game.

Don't worry the potential of some 1st round picks in a few years solves the problems on this team.

addition of quinn ignites this team on many levels. allows for 3 full lines, creates a lot more pressure for teams to defend shooters on 3 lines instead of 2, and quinn is a big offensive driver. his addition will exceed the sum of himself to the lineup.

thanks for coming.

Christ can intervene and punt void off the bridge and let Benson take his spot full time, in-season.

There's F@cking talent on that Offense, just all messed up right now. At this point I think you have to Fire Dorsey, just isn't working and maybe try a Brady or someone else.

Absolutely. But now his value is likely less than half today what it was last spring.
