The system makes no sense for the personnel

None of it makes sense. This isn't a Botterill dig, but Botterill assembled a puck-moving defense and then hired this guy?

I truly don't understand it. I don't get any of this. I feel like I'm going insane

Thats why this is the most frustrating season of them all for me. This roster i think undeniably the best since eichel has been here but they have been coached in to the ground.

I'll say it again, this stretch of games gets any coach fired by any real franchise

going to ride the covid excuse i guess
- robz228

Playing Okposo at all, but especially as much as he is being played, is almost a reason by itself to be fired.

Guys the mood in the locker room is good though

I don’t either.

I loved the Krueger hire too.

But I don’t know Jack poop about coaching
- sbroads24

I hated it from day one.

I also know nothing.

Again I hope the team folds.

I don’t either.

From the look of it, either does Ralph.

It’s simply one of two things. Either a bad Chef or you just can’t make chicken soup out of chicken sh!t.

Here's some fun players. Wanna watch the '06 Sabres try to be the '02 Devils?

Beautiful! Heres the 2021 Sabres

Skinner has been in the dog house since day 1 and okposo is getting rewarded for being far lazier than skinner ever was

Okposo should be sent to the taxi squad tomorrow.

By not doing that already, they've shown once again they're clearly not serious about winning.

Or daddy Terry likes Kyle Okposo and I assume Terry through a tantrum which gave Okposo the A.

I hate this team. Like legitimately hate them.

Burn it to the ground. All of it.

What there going through is a bad coach

I agree.

He shouldn’t even be in Rochester’s PP never mind ours.

They are so (frank)ed. So (frank)ed. Ralph is that weasel from the LOTR trilogy talking in Terry's ear




Utterly (frank)ed

I honestly don’t blame the players and I know that’s crazy.

This coach is beyond bad.

They play to get low % shots with no emphasis on crashing the net. They don’t get odd man rushes with guys like Jack Eichel and Taylor Freaking Hall. That’s incredible

Maybe Olofsson is a superstar. Maybe Hall is still an MVP. Maybe Staal is still good.

We won’t know under this moron
- sbroads24

Have you ever seen one these guys crash the net at any point in their careers? Should be talking more about GMKA. It's not the coach who makes this team soft.

This roster has holes too don’t kid yourself.

Eakin, Reider, Sheehan, Lazar are all 4th line quality at best.

Thompson will just never get it so that experiment is over.

Staal and Okposo are both cooked.

They need to keep Borgen in the lineup and try to find a dance partner that needs help on defence and move out a RHD ++ if need be and get a top 9 quality forward in here ASAP.

Nashville is a tire fire right now. Maybe they can put a package together and try and pry Forsberg or Arvidsson out of there I have no idea.

Hookers lots of Hookers, that will release some pressure on the team, might not grip the sticks as hard

Agree, but the Coach and GM brought them in.

This team has ZERO work ethic. They refuse to get into the dirty areas and pay a price
For goals. That is on the coach. Freddy needs to sit players like dahlin Eichel.

That’s not on the coach- it’s on the players

Rieder and Lazar have been their best forwards this year.

Coach has no idea how to coach talent

- Lunaion

No but I saw hall win an MVP, Staal have an MVO career. Eichel be more productive than this.

The coach plays a system where we drafted a can’t miss sure as poop puck controlling d man and we don’t let him carry the puck.
Yes my convinced not having a coach at all would be 10,000 times better than this (frank) face of a idiot coach.

The Sabres are now playing psychology .... not hockey anymore.

Per Ralph

That’s not on the coach- it’s on the players
- jdfitz77

Hall MVP level.
Staal hOF career.

All of the sudden they are bad. Or is it the coach plays a system where you get point shots because he actually domes to now what he is doing and is a piece of poop moron.

(frank) Kruger I hope he gets mildly injured where he is no longer able to coach the team.

Actually. The flyers last year or the year before when they were losing. They all got trashed and aired everything out. Things got better after that.

True story. Just don’t know what year it was. It was recently
