Confirmed with Link: Don Granato Thread -- Signed to Contract Extension

[K8fool]

58-60 is not bad. Budreau is 69. Thats getting too old. I don't want a coach who will lose his train of thought mid speech

Old guys w proper attitude are great asst to hire to watch and help a new younger hire like Edmonton. Early this season. Pick correctlyand heal a stagnated culture being destroyed by nhl meddling . Tech but mainly players giving up because their systems and special teams are not flowing w ootions like the rpo and options laden McD defense used in buffa Football less easy to predict and subvert

Adams/Granato are both finished when the season is over. Take it to the bank. Even clown boy Pegula can read the writing on the wall.

I wonder what Gallant or Laviolette (if he's not back in Washington) would do here.

Adams was on the Carolina team that won the Cup with Laviolette behind the bench...

Laviolette is with the rangers?

I forgot about that.

Laviolette was hired by the rangers and currently has them in 1st place overall in the entire league.

But yeah, he would’ve been a great hire when he was available this past summer.

Its not happening. Sorry but no chance. 100% they are both here next year. I would bet on it. Pegula loves them.

A deep dive into how usage and teammates affect a player's on-ice numbers

In the NHL, some jobs are easier than others and that needs to be better acknowledged when comparing numbers. We've made the adjustment.

Matching forward lines isn't a thing really. I wonder how that affects their poor record at home?

I wish this were true, but I disagree. They'll both be spoken of glowingly by TP. In the locker room cleanout press conference, Kevyn Adams will say he has full faith and trust in D Granato.

 

[TehDoak]

They grabbed their clubs. Beat themselves off all the way by mailing in 9 more similar efforts and real another lottety pick. Call spin it a winning streak. 13 to 14 and ohhh.

Probably the best way to describe this season tbh.

Lavi is in NY with the Rangers and this is his first year there.

 

[goach]

It's too bad the players don't realize how free they are under current staff!! Might actually play hard consistently. But now they need Torts type.

Julien is my pick! Team defense 1st

 

[dang111]

Didn’t Boudreau say on air a couple years ago he’d like to come to Buffalo? Bring him in

He did.

 

[Tatanka]

It's been 3 and a half months since they got run out of their own rink by the Blue Jackets. It's the same team.

Well they did trade a center for a redundant lhd...so technically they are new and improved. /s

 

[Tatanka]

There are only 32 of these jobs. I think you overstate this point time after time hoping your view will one day be correct.

Someone yes. An actual improvement? I have my doubts as long as the TPeg KA lovefest is ongoing. Who is going to take the job when the first thing they recommend is dumping Tage, Krebs and Power for useful players

Dreger with Duffer and Marty on this topic was entertaining.

They asked Dreger what him and his media friends think is wrong with the Sabres this year after how last season went. He basically said everyone is confused and have no real ideas of how to fix it. He also pointed out how goaltending was an easy thing to point to after last season and UPL has answered that question for the most part since 1/1/24.

Tell me again about the talent on the Sabres roster -

Terrible passing stats, terrible slot shot stats, a castrated powerplay, terrible odd-man rush against stats, terrible slot shots against stats... visually watching forwards blow the zone every night. Doesn't seem that hard to figure out why if one is watching.

In their defense they might be watching the super secret Alex Tuch tapes where everybody is trying super hard.

Pretty blatant lead in to poor coaching. How are the players, clearly given poor direction and ultimately poor performance, rooting for this guy?

 

[toddkaz]

I do believe Granato will be here next year but I am not giving up a glimmer of hope Adams has some sanity and fires him.

Yeah, that call isn't being made by Adams.
