1/8 with 6 shots on the power play, 12th straight game giving up 3 or more goals, not hitting anyone, and just abysmal hockey. This sucks

Naturally we will beat the Leafs on Saturday

8 power plays, including having a 5v3 and a 6v4, against one of the worst teams in the NHL and we scored one goal. This is a new low for this team. Wouldn’t be shocked if we beat our losing streak record

I feel like I’m in abusive relationship. « Baby, I’ll be better again. Look at how much I’ve changed, I’m better now. I won’t hurt you this season. » Then they hurt me.

At what point do we shake things up? I know Adam’s doesn’t WANT to give up assets to make a trade, but maybe we NEED to?
andyouarenotme
We’re not in the room so it’s impossible to say… but the lack of effort is very very concerning.
It was one thing when the injuries were the issue, but a lack of effort will result in a loss every single time.
I love Granato, but it’s too hard for the lovable guidance counselor to shift to the angry gym teacher. We need a miracle here.

Is that 7? Are we the bad news bears now?

I hate to say it, but I’d rather watch Marty’s kid deep throat that fucking ice cream cone for two and a half hours than sit through these games right now.

Time for Donny to prove his worth. Can’t be the nice guy all the time everytime
11 years now just another day at the office as a Sabres fan

It’s actually physically draining to watch this team right now. Donny keeps trying to jam a square peg into a round hole with this PP and D Pairs (Yes I know Samuelsson is injured but putting Dahlin and Power together the whole game means you have 2 pairings that get caved in when they’re not on the ice), it took 7 power plays to get 1 decent opportunity that turns into a goal, our defense is constantly out of position like Jokiharju who shouldn’t be in the NHL just letting Tkachuk hang around in front of Comrie and score an awful goal that came off the wall. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Adams **HAS** to be working on a trade for a top 4 d man or this is pointless for all involved.

I didn’t like this game as much as the one against Pittsburgh where we kicked they’re fucking ass and a fan attacked they’re coach for no reason.

Sunk cost fallacy. That is all.

Official box score has Skinner with 2 turnovers…who’s gonna tell the stat keeper

Get Marty’s son in net

Honestly the worst game they have played out of their last few losses. So many power play chances and they just never get a consistent rush. It seems like they are struggling to even get past center ice lately, constant turnovers, giving up on plays.
They havent been winning puck battles and its resulting in one shot attempts and zone clears.
Team is getting embarassing
Musician-Quick
To all of the people who have been wondering when the fans will start to show up again…keep waiting. I’m done turning the games on a week before Thanksgiving. This sucks.
puffypigeon16
What year is this? They all blend together at this point. I am sad.
evdrebot
Before the season I thought the only way Granato would be under any danger would be if they went on a crazy losing streak. Didn’t think that theory would actually be getting tested by November.
Palmybeaches
6 shots on the PP. 6. We had 8 power plays.
How is that even possible.
tgeekb
We should trade anyone for some grit. There is no life in this team. I expected more from Tuch.
BARDLER
I don’t understand how their decision making and puck battling regressed so much since the first chunk of games they played.
sarcastic_man_13
So I didn’t watch the game nor am I planning on watching a game for the rest of this month.
But looking at the numbers, whoever the special teams coach is, needs to be gone ASAP. The powerplay literally only has one element, get it to Tage or Victor… No one moves and it’s all perimeter crap. PK isn’t good either.
I still really want to see Krebs with Thompson. I want to see what Thompson can do with a pure playmaker. Keep Tuch with him as well.
Move Skinner with Cozens or on the third line with a new acquired center. Casey ain’t it and would like a stopgap 3C who can get to the dirty areas. Victor is useless as well other than his one timers on the PP. Use Casey and Victor as pieces to get a top 4 dman to pair with Power.
Oh, and get Bryson off the team. Don’t know how he did tonight but last night was a complete embarrassing effort from him.
Use Joker to try to acquire a middle 6 forward who can actually know how to play in his own end.

See you guys next September for the cock tease!
ReptilianSolarBeing
Yeah this was the game where I drew the line. You have to turn it around against a losing squad like Ottawa, you just have to. But no. Eight PPs and one goal.
This is not a good hockey team. It’s not even a mediocre one. 7-3 was a mirage. We’re once again a bottom 5 team.

October has come and passed
Their winning ways can never last
Wake me up when November eeeeeeeends

So again….
Injuries aren’t to blame.
The goalie isn’t to blame.
The D isn’t to blame.
The forwards are a mess all over the ice. They aren’t generating enough high quality chances and they have no clue what to do in the D-Zone.
It’s been the same way almost all season, but with 7 pointless games in a row, it’s clear some significant changes need to take place.
The coach blames the effort. The coach claims to not look at the standings (he does, though). The coach claims to not worry about W and L (again, he does). Let’s go! Let’s make some system changes.

Crazy how they were shooting 40+ a night to this madness.
acapuck
For those who know the game, hockey is probably the easiest of the major sports to see what players ought to do at any given moment with the puck (when you have the benefit of watching it from above ice level, that is). That’s what makes this team so painful to watch. The decision-making and lack of execution on what should be simple passes, transitions, breakouts, etc. Just sad.

All y’all who were defending this team need to wake up. Stop drinking the koolaid and look at this franchise and organization
