GDT: Sabres at Red Wings, 1:00 pm Eastern

[Beerz]

Glad I went to go skating instead

At least someone skated today

Oh no, I forgot it was an afternoon game. That's 3 hours of my life I'll never be able to piss away.

Something else regarding coaching:

While Cozens was serving his 5 min fighting major, I'm pretty sure neither Benson nor Quinn took a shift. Quinn I get....he wasn't having a good game.

Benson getting only 9:45 of 5v5 time is a fireable offense in and of itself.

You could get married

I feel like Benson gets shafted a lot when the bench gets shortened and at this point it’s hard to understand why. He’s one of their few forwards with skill who can also play a hard/grindy game

I did, to the Sabres. And I feel like Little Bill in Boogie nights, watching my spouse getting publicly nailed as the entire league watches in shocked fascination:

Granato may be worse than Krueger

 

[Dingo44]

Almost picked up a couple of tickets for the Sabres - Wings game today but after a long day at the Tigers game and the U18 NTDP game yesterday we skipped it for our nephew's U12 game. It was the right choice.

 

[BB79]

Granato may be worse than Krueger

I think so, I would say he arguably has a more talented team to coach.. and still can't piss us into the playoffs even as WC#2. Regardless, I don't want either one of them.

 

[CrazyWayne]

Granato needs to be let go and nothing made that more clear than a faceoff with about 16 minutes left in the game

The sabres had some sustained pressure and get a shot off, red wings goalie covers it, nice shift nice momentum

Common sense says five games left needing everyone of them in the third period down two, we need goals. Let's throw some offensive punch out there keep the momentum going and get a goal

What do the sabres do, throw out jost Robinson and rousek

This also kills me and happens often. That after a TV time out with a faceoff in the offensive zone the TV comes back from commercial and who do I see on the ice.....the fourth line. Unless there is some rule about line changes after a TV time out that's absolutely inexcusable

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

A coaching change months ago might have salvaged the season, but we'll never know.

The thought of Don returning in September is depressing.

 

[sabresfan129103]

Slow starts kills them again. I feel like this has been a problem since Granato got here. These guys are just not ready to play a lot of the time.

 

[SabresFan26]

As an adult if I went to a game I’d actually consider throwing my jersey on the ice. This organization has been ruined for the last decade.

We need a whole front office cleanse.

Hire hockey people and let them do their job. Not a rink manager who played in the NHL. Or a coach with limited NHL experience and 0 playoff experience.

How can players even respect his background?

 

[cardiffgiant]

I realized today that this is the first season in over 20 years that I haven’t attended a game

Wait…You mean the assistant coach hired by the hockey terrorist soccer coach isn’t any good at coaching hockey either?

*shocked pikachu face *

Come on now. That the man has reached and exceeded his shelf. That is evident but talking about him being worse than Ralph is ridiculous.

 

[dortt]

a rock would be an improvement over Ralphus

but better than Ralphus should not be the standard we strive to have with a coach

It wasn't a question of whether he was good, it was which one was worse

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Also was never a soccer "coach", but the truth doesn't matter to some any more.

 

[The Blunder Years]

On reflection, why the hell was Krueger even allowed back in the NHL. His one stint with Edmonton was so mediocre and short. Then he doesn’t do anything for like 8 years until we call him up. It’s just so ridiculous we even interviewed him. No one even knew who he was.

I was shitposting you guys. Not being serious. Making glib jokes after a loss like that is the only way I can still cope with being a fan of this black hole of a hockey team.

Kreuger is obviously worse than Granato, as he went on a 12 game winless streak to get himself fired. Give Granato his due, he's only gone on an 8 game winless streak.
