This isn't Sabres related but Ovi seems to have bottomed out as fast as Peyton did in his final year. Only 5 goals and 10 assists this season. I thought he had a shot to catch Gretsky's record but not anymore. It seems like "Father Time" has caught up with him.

I hope so.

I’ve been a staunch defender of Don Granato. Until now. The talent has been amassed. They also showed much grit in their season-ending playoff push.

But, frankly, they suck this year. Far too many disgraceful, uninspired games. He has to be the scapegoat and it can’t happen soon enough. 
This season is such a huge letdown.

Giterdone, Kevyn Adams!

Should have happened in November to salvage season.

 

How does a team let in 9 goals one night, lose and then pot 9 goals against one of the better teams a few nights later and win.

 

Definitely need a new bench boss!

To me it is the same issue the Bills had under Dorsey.  Both Dorsey and Granato castrated the Bills and Sabres offense.  "Don't run Josh"  "slow down on offense Sabres, play more D".  Both the Bills and Sabres are the funnest to watch when both offenses are high flying  Do not neuter Buffalo offenses!

The season is pretty much over, and has been over for 3-4 weeks.

 

It's depressing.  Perpetually in a rebuild/plan that never bears fruit.  The coach needed to be fired a month and a half ago.  It was clear and 31 other teams would have been capable of making that move.

 

Adams will not and can not make hard decisions.  Complete inexperience and incapable of being in his position.

🤦‍♂️ If the current “system” this season was Granato’s attempt to play better defense… yikes.

 

I also feel like they’ve already tried creating offense like they did last season but teams have adjusted to Buffalo’s style of play. They just clog up the neutral zone, don’t let Buffalo create off the rush and Buffalo has had no answer to that.

He'll be fired at the end of the season.  There's no excuse to make for keeping him.

 

Why wait?

Somebody better write a scathing article about him quick, so all the players come out in his defense and he starts winning again. 

 

And then again.........

wash, rinse, dry, Repeat? That in itself is its own kind of fandom hell

 

Not a  very thrilling prospect for the fan base bottom line

 

DANGIT

Sabres win in Pittsburgh, winning season series!

 

Sabres win 2 in a row!

 

New Year, New Sabres!

 

Oooh!   Aaah!  Sabres on the war path!  

 

The problem is never the short winning streaks, it's the excruciatingly painful downward plunge they enter afterwards.
