Thanks Joe Appreciate what you do I wish we were able too get this show more views and subs. Other than liking sharing and subbing, let me know if there's anything I can do. Massive Sabre's fan, huge Bills fan, Fell asleep 3rd period bc I knew we were already down 2-0, the whole game was a joke , I watched until 3rd period, I dozed through the 3rd but yeah, When you're team loses the game in the first period every other night, Theres not much to be excited for. I miss last year. Bills season included aside from Hamlin dying and being reborn.
I think you're right with Granato. He's scratched Clifton, E Johnson (yes just once) but that tells me he does know who's terrible. You can tell from how much he plays them. He relies HEAVILY on the Top 4 not just because of the talent but also lack of anything on the bottom. Okposo, Girgensons he kinda needs to play, same with E Johnson. So basically I look at it that he's forced to do what he has to do to keep certain veterans happy. That's the main problem with this team. Tage and Cozens have regressed, and they're focusing more on defense but if you swap the 2 worst D, the 2 worst forwards with average players, if you get an average Backup goalie they are not this bad. That all falls on Adams to me.
I slept earlier in the day to stay up for that game. (comes on 11pm my time) and turned it off like you did after the 3rd goal…even before the 3rd goal to see their shots continue and Sabres can't even enter their zone I knew it was gonna be one of those nights.
Our fundamentals, and details have been non existent, I think we got so forced on trying to score, we forgot our fundamentals. Peterka shouldn't have been even put in that position. This year for what ever reason we ARE NOT in sync, with anything our passes are sloppy, our shots are missing the net constantly , obviously our goalies are struggling. Idk how we look so good some nights, and so fucking terrible other nights. Avalanche did it right, if every team came out hardcore, which a lot of teams do, that's what will happen every time, it's not dumb luck when it consistently happens. we look like shit majority of the time. Skinner hurt is devastating, he's one of our only consistent scorers left. We need Cozens and Thompson to get their full games back, and we need Quinn back fresh. WIth Skinner, Dahlin, Quinn , Cozens ,Thompson ,Greenway, Peterka, Middlestadt and now I have to mention Benson , all playing at their highest level is truly a winning team, IDK what the fuck we're doing in these first periods, I can't tell if it's shitty goaltending or horrible D, I feel like it's not D, we have Dahlin, Power and Samuelsson, 3 top Defensemen in the league. UPL is hot and cold, Levi is also hot and cold, we need a hot goalie or at very least a middle of the line goalie, Both UPL and Levi either absolute go off, or absolutely shit the bed.
Fed up is an understatement. Granato must go… This team NEEDS A SHAKEUP folks…
I don't know what bad coaching looks like if it isn't this. Regression everywhere, confusion, consistently poor starts to games, terrible power play that is never addressed, lack of physicality. It goes on.
Granato? Adams? Cozens? Who's most to blame?….
The Number One answer is…. Yes.
all on the coach, all of it, team has zero structure. Skinner gets smashed and our team does nothing. There was ZERO retaliation. This team is dead. The coach needs to be fired.
Locked on kills more hosts than any format. Come on guys churn out a video everyday regardless of content. Lets turn otherwise respectable journalists into clickbait adicts! Lets farm videos without time to do proper research and provide proper context! Thats the Locked On moto! The drunks at the bar have smart phones now we should lower our aim to cater to the unwashed masses that still shout 'shoot' on the power play. Locked is a second rate sports tabloid that parades around industry professionals desperate to connect their woeful media wages to the inflated cost of living in corporate America.
Granato needs to go… He’s better than Krueger. Good for him… He still sucks! Hockey is all about the board battles and winning faceoffs. This team absolutely sucks at both. It’s NOT because we don’t have the players! We don’t have the mentality. That’s on the coach! We are never ready, never give 100% effort and our general organization on the ice, is abysmal! He’s got to go!
TNT is an average skater at best. Watch him. Ugh.
If he isnt allowed to shoot the big shot from the faceoff dot at a scared goalie he has little to offer us, at any contract number.
I don’t think he’s a bad player but Cozens is awful right now. He needs a reality check.
When they picked up Robinson for basically nothing I thought Buffalo finally got a fighter. Nope, but he's been ok.
This team has been soft for a long time. Losing and knocking the other team around would be acceptable. When Greenway stood up to Wilson was a game changer.
Getting a couple tough guys would be helpful. Embarrassing to see liberties taken with Dahlin and Benson. Hoping the team gets sold and moved. Waste of time watching them.
i think its the garbage assistants
I think the problem might be Granato's staff. His assistants' coaching resumes are really weak and those are the guys teaching technique
The whole Erik Johnson tribute at the beginning put everyone in a soft mood and weirded out the mood to start the game
This starts with owners and everything beneath. This is getting brutal to say the very least. Mid December bouncing the bottom again and again. I was pretty much done with Don end of last year. This system sucks
Granato is a smart guy and he's been good with the young guys. But I'm an older fan and I like the North American style of play. I don't like skilled and soft teams and for me, I don't care what the current "style" of play is today. Hockey is an effort and aggressive game and by aggression I don't necessarily mean fighting. I mean compete, skill and physical play every night. That's Buffalo Sabres hockey.
I think buffalo is brainwashed. The proof is in the pudding, the coaching is the problem with this team.
Granato is a terrible coach. Lundquist said it last night on TNT. He said they are not in a rebuild but they play like they're in a rebuild. He also said it's it's not a skill issue It's a work issue.
Donny and Adams will stay forever keeping the team forever young and have hockey bags full of excuses. It took forever for Kruger it will never happen with Donny.
Time for a coaching change and a trade or two.
Bruce Boudreaux please.
Bring back Ray,May and my all time favourite Barnaby.
play more without puck?
I’ll be at the Vegas game tomorrow hoping for 2 pts.
Fire granato fire Christie fire Ellis fire bad hair cut Marty
I'd like to see Adams make a couple decent moves. They need some guys who know what it feels like to win. They can't just have a bunch of young guys with 2 or 3 veterans who have never won anything. I'd like to see them get a coach who knows what it is to win consistently as well. No more building with youth. It's reached its limit. Trade away a couple guys.
14:00 This is why listening to young guys talk about sports is a waste of time
This team has strung together back to back wins only once this season. They're far better at stringing together losing streaks…which they've done 3x. 1×2, 1×3, …and 1×4 losses. The rest of the time it's win a game and lose a game. Awful team with no heart.
I watched the entire shit show. Game was over after the first again. My only thought was hopefully we look like the AVS once we mature as a group. Just like they did.
I blame Biden
HCDG needs new assistant coaches. Like a Paul Coffey with the Oilers. Coffey has helped that defense big time. 8 wins a row with the structural adjustments.
His brothers cancer batlle im sure weights heavy on his spirits. And overall focus and with day 2 day duties. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point he takes a leave of absence.
For me if I don't see a major change by first week of January, coach is history
Thanks Joe
I have a new strategy: if they win, i watch the replay. If not, I pass.
That way I can subconsciously feed my illusion that they’re decent. Otherwise I’m just p*ssed the rest of the night.
But I dont think losing Granato is the answer. Coaches get fired too quickly in every sport these days. They need time to build a team. If you hire one, i think you need to stick with him for at least 3 years. Think of the most successful franchises across all sports – they all have consistency in leadership.
The Steelers have had only 3 head coaches since 1969.
Granato is the worst pos coach 😤
Hold up a second, they very much should have taken the lead in the second period… if they keep playing like that, they're going to be more than fine. This team is basically the same record wise as last year too at this point, they really just need to not have a mid season and a late season slump like last year, but I think they're on the verge of going on a run.
That second period last night looked like they've been playing the last two weeks, they just need to start finding the finish. This definitely looks like a much better team in December, they're coming around big time and people need to chill a bit and let it work, because they're looking a crap ton better.
Like firing the coaching staff because they looked like they didn't have their legs in the first period playing in Denver in the elevation, when they then turned the entire ship around in the 2nd and should have scored multiple goals in that period, which finishing has been an issue, but goals come in bunches.
I've watched basically every game other than maybe two or three so far this year…people, take a deep breath, that game against I think it was the Bruins or whatever top team they beat recently was when the shift really started.
Or maybe they should still trade UPL for a bag of chips?
Coaches need a shake up
Looked like they had cement shoes and altitude affected them. Not prepared. When did they fly in ?
Adams 100% didn’t do jackshit this off-season except add two terrible defenseman
Granato is proving he's not an NHL level coach same with KA they both are clueless
Also, that Benson goal was one of the more impressive goals I've ever seen…like his first goal was super flashy, but that goal last night was I have to imagine at least as impressive and skillful…the positioning, awareness, speed of his hands, no wasted motion and the shot placement…he initiated a bunch of turnovers by the Avs also…he's only 18, how did the league let him fall so far in the draft?!
Luckily for me the game started at noon so i wasnt bothered by the start time
No excuse for this teams loss but not for nothing… Colorado's 1st goal should have absolutely been disallowed after Nathan McKinnon ran right into Clifton & another sabres defenseman while
he didn't have the puck
Granatos system has been exposed and he has not the ability to react on the fly, he does not have enough tools in his shed. We need a new coach not a new gm, just the coach.
