Another team where the team has no energy or jump

That’s coaching
- Sabretooth9

Bang on, these guys are just going through the motion.

Okposo said they came out to play for Meatball.

Where did that go?

Granato hands down is the worst coach in the league.

Players last year had career years and this year it really shows how awful Meathead is.

The same team that missed the playoffs last year was augmented only with two bottom-pairing, washed-up defensemen and we're going to pin this on the coach?

Adams absolutely deserves to go with him but that's Terry's boy so you know that's not happening
- Hank Balling

I know Stan Bowman is not a popular guy right now but I’d fire GMKA and Kruger light and hire Bowman and Gallant in a heart beat

Yes.

Ever hear a coach tell the press his team cant learn defense so he is going to revert to last year's system?

Just bizarre.

So either we have players who dont listen to the coach or the coach isn't capable of teaching them

I agree with all of that but there are so many obvious issues that were not addressed by the GM.

We have no one to take faceoffs, we have maybe 2 top-4 d men, our goalie (in a must-win game) is 22 and has spent no time in the minors.

This roster is a joke. I get firing Granato to get a bump but the smirking GM deserves the boot just as much. It's a joke if the coach takes this alone.

I don't get how its not criticized more.

Granato - They guys are too dumb to learn my defensive system so just forget it. We wont play defense.

Who keeps their job coaching like this?

I really need to break up with this team. They are so bad for me but I just can’t stop.

Got the first four shots on goal and dominated most of the first 5 minutes.

First quality chance for Boston ends up in the back of the net.

Then the special teams pissed down its leg, which unfortunately is par for the course.

How anyone can say 80% of this team’s issues aren’t caused by AHL coaching is beyond me.

I agree Adams isn't doing his job either but usually the coach is the first to fall when losing happens.

GM usually gets a 2nd coach pick before he is fired.

Last game they said they came to play for Donny.

Where did that energy go? These guys are just flat as hell.

you can't tell them to remove their headphones

He should have never been hired.

Take away their orange slices?

second goal was 100 percent on clifton, not coaching

Last game they said they came to play for Donny.

- sabresfan69

Idk, what did the irreplaceable captain have to say to the team? The one the GM thought had to be retained?

It was on Clifton but see the photo I posted.


2 Bruins players behind Buffalo's entire team.

Something isn't right.

The Sabres are better off declining a penalty then playing 5 on 4 for 4 minutes.

That’s on coaching

I am worried we will lose Levi and Benson to the meat grinder.

The constant losing has to wear on rookies.

Just keep tossing them in and grinding them out.

It was all talk and garbage media talk

It’s been 37 games now of absolutely nothing no energy or compete.

I don't get how its not criticized more.

Also worst PP and worst PK in the league per TNT in the last number of games (forgot the number )

that was first goal, right?

If I was GM for a day first thing I would do is call Nashville every 30 seconds until they agreed to trade Saros to me. And I would absolutely overpay. I’m talking 1 round pick, Krebs, savioe, Quinn UPL.

- homiedclown

Yes, the goal was definitely on Clifton but Meatball also doesn't have them play defense.
